It looks real. Those seem to be musicians on the other side of the pool.
That would be a lot of trouble to fake.
The best mans slip also appears real.

I think it is possible. Bruce Lee was quite the martial artist and, I believe, held either a Master or Grand Master degree. Someone more versed in the discipline would probably know.

I don't doubt he could hit the ping pong ball but how would he control the trajectory.

Just tracking the ball you can tell it's CGI. Also, if you're 'twirling' it around in a circular in front of you, it would be almost impossible to return a ball onto the table and at the distance the ball travelled. Of course, I have been wrong before.

That is not the real Bruce Lee, not even cloned in. A very good Nunchaku practitioner, but not him. As for whether it is real, it could be but really hard to tell from this small video. Ping pong balls have some weird trajectories, so I wouldn't go by that.

I'm no help!

not the real Bruce Lee and is it reall well I don't think so I would think that the impact of the nunchaku would at the least collapse the ping pong ball if not break it.

I like how suspicious the camera angles are, like the shot from the back. They also made sure "Bruce Lee" was in his trademark Yellow and Black stripe suit. I think some of the face shots were Mr.Lee but most of the action was either cut and splice in, or someone else. It looks like he repeats his routine partway through the video after he jumps up. Its still kinda cool though.
