[What if] Bruce Lee Deepfake in Ip Man 4

THOUGHTS►
So I’ve been spending time learning how to make Deepfakes for the past 6 months. This all started when I saw Corridor Digital’s Luke Skywalker DF video, and it was really well done. Therefore, I decided to look into Deepfakes cause I had one scene in mind that I wanted to see, Bruce Lee’s face on Danny Chan’s. But while that was happening, a lot of talk of Bruce Lee’s portrayal in Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood came back into the limelight. Not to go into it, I watched the movie, I’ve listened to both sides, and truth be told, seeing how he was handled really sucked. Now in Ip Man 4’s case, Lee is shown to be more human, and Chan really brought him to life. And what I took from CD’s video was that you still need your actor to perform so they feel alive. And he’s pulled off a great performance even without needing to resort to CG. However, I still wanted to see what it’d be like if they took the DF approach. Could I use my VFX knowledge to perform a good deepfake?
And what if Bruce Lee was here today to play himself in Ip Man 4? - PN

can you deepfake bruce lee's face onto Donnie Yen's fist of fury?

[@PatrickNanEdits]

Maybe! got some other ideas at the moment, big fan of your vids with Martial Club and Jay Kwon 🙌

[@KenniSiu]

@@PatrickNanEdits Please don't stop making these deepfake video of Bruce Lee.

@@PatrickNanEdits Man i love your work. Is it also possible to download these films somewhere complete with Bruce Lee?

[@Nimonjeua-Ndiangang]

They should have deepfake Ip Man's face onto Donnie Yen instead

[@AlexyTousignant]

@@bastianbux9050 I would pay to see a complete version with all Bruce Lee scenes dones, but I could not tell if that's realistic, I have missed this movie because I was too patient so I don't know if we really see him often

[@MrDari78]

Brilliant work! I actually teared up a bit, I'm 43 years of age but every time I see Bruce Lee I'm a child watching magic unfold all over again.

[@jorpese1]

Same here! Loved it!

[@cwaynebrock2519]

Same goes for me too, only I'm 56 years old and I first noticed Chuck Norris when Bruce Lee and him were fighting, looked like Chuck Norris had the upper hand until Bruce Lee hopping up and down getting into the Grove and end up killing Chuck. Bruce Lee will always be my hero and Chuck Norris comes second.

Im 67 and it made me tear up. we lost bruce far to early.

we can call this clip .. into the fake !? into the dragon.

[@dack6528]

You guys must think all black people look the same also, as that is nothing like Bruce Lee, well maybe if you squint your eyes so much you can just see out. I have been Bruce Lee fan since my father too me and a school mate to see Enter The Dragon (yeah I'm that old)

[@parshotamlal1749]

Deep fake or not, Danny Chan is the closest person to resemble Bruce lee, l have seen so many Bruce lee lookalikes over the last few years and no one has ever came close to looking like Bruce lee as Danny Chan.

I can’t express what I’ve felt seeing Bruce Lee in a recent movie. I was born in the ‘80, so many memories, thanks!

[@TheLucidway]

I swear, I feel a bit of sadness, yet joy, seeing bruce's face come alive in a new rendition. It's bittersweet. Thx for making this.

[@daevydjae]

I saw the original movie take and I though the actor embodied Lee's style really well. To see his face on the actor added so much - it's like he was really there. Thank you so much for this!

[@stauffap]

Embodied Bruce Lee's style well? Have you seen real documentaries about him? This is nothing but a pretty cheap, typical and not very well made parody. Even his style is wrong, which means that the actor didn't really understand Bruce's style. The actors knowledge of who Bruce Lee was and what he did is clearly superficial.

[@1LERS1]

@@stauffap Butthurt much? This is best Bruce Lee impersonation out there.

[@stauffap]

@@1LERS1 You're just telling me that you don't know much about Bruce Lee by saying such a silly thing. I could give you so many details with regards to his fighting that Bruce Lee just hasn't done and wouldn't do. Like the way he handles the Nunchucks, his stance, arms and body position. Obviously it looks somewhat like Bruce and people will imediately recognize, who he's trying to impersonate, but the details are way off.

[@YavNe]

This looks unnatural, his mouth movement. Dunno.

[@YavNe]

@@stauffap Doesn't change the fact that he is the best impersonation of him out there. BoDy PoSiTiOn, look we are regular watchers, not Kung Fu fighters or even fighters. We can't tell the difference. Nobody is a fighter here just enjoying it, so keep your details to yourself as well as your butthurt. lmao. 😂

[@j.l.887]

The conversation in the diner sent chills down my spine. For that brief moment in time, it’s as if we had Bruce back and I was a kid again watching Way of the Dragon. Absolutely brilliant work my friend!

[@rhw010590]

Maaaaaannnnnnnn....... you can literally recreate and entire Bruce Lee series with this. I'd watch every episode. Great work!! It felt like I was watching a brand new Bruce Lee movie 👍🏾👍🏾

[@michaelscott1778]

Patrick, as an editor myself, I just want to say there were a number of times I was smiling ear to ear. I was thinking, so this is what it would be like if he was alive. Thank you for adding the chinese speaking parts also. Another one of those videos that deserves more than a million hits.

[@joelsantos9990]

Your way of retracing Bruce Lee's original face to the author's one is remarkable! Congratulations!

[@robertvarner5805]

Thank you! I thought I was losing it for a minute! The joy you brought to me and so many Bruce Lee fans can’t be described! Being a baby boomer, I saw his movies at theaters when they 1st showed! I appreciate and love you for this genius work!

[@MoreSpewsMoreViews]

This is truly amazing man! No matter what frame you pause at, the precision is so minute and accurate which is so astonishing!! I think it also helps that the actor who played Bruce Lee in the movie had a pretty good resemblance to him. Great job man!!

This is Awesome this man really look exactly like bruce lee the legend. In the early 80s i really dream of becoming his disciple i joined his martial art club formed by bruce lee himself "JEET KUNE DO" the way of intercepting fist. And up till today his fighting technique dwell in me. Danny chan really is bruce lee lookalike and he play the role well with every inch of his body.

Wow! Lump in my throat! I was 9 when I saw my first Bruce Lee movie Fist of Fury at the theater. Now I am also a Patrick Nan fan too! He was a master at what he did and so are you. Thank you for a small glimpse into what could have been.

[@stevespacek8893]

Absolutely outstanding work here!! To see Bruce in his glory again is a real treat for us fans of the master. The vibe was so spot on. Not sure how it would work re copyright? All I know is, I’m certain myself along with millions of others would love to watch a whole movie with Bruce alive n kicking again, so to speak;)) Much gratitude for your amazing effort!!🙏🏾✊🏾💥🔥💥

[@timothyjames2875]

It was really a thrill to see something fresh from Bruce Lee. Even if it was not exactly authentic. Your work here is amazing and so realistic looking. You really seemed to capture the Superstars essence in these scenes. It was so exciting for me to see, me being the huge Bruce lee fan that I am. (Me and another 100 million people at least, Right?) Excellent work Patrick. You should attempt to contact the Lee Estate and see if they would be interested in partnering with you to do a full movie. Maybe start by completely finishing the Game of Death, the way Bruce originally intended for it to be released. Not only would that be super super cool, but It would probably be a huge box office smash if you could get similar results like what you have shown in your video editing work here. I think that Mrs. Linda Lee Cadwell, if involved and given proper consulting rights might just be very open to possibly working with you on at least a Game Of Death project and maybe something else moving forward. You never know right? That is if the right strong, humble team approached her and I don't know, if she still has rights to that film. I will definitely subscribe to your channel and hope for more great work. The world definitely wants to see more respectful done, quality Bruce Lee films. Good luck with your work moving forward. WE WANT MORE BRUCE LEE!!! WE WANT MORE BRUCE LEE!!! WE WANT MORE BRUCE LEE!!! THE WORLD WANTS MORE BRUCE LEE!!!

Would be cool if they did some imaginary series of Bruce Lee alive in present time. Would love to see something new going up against real MMA fighters. Lets be honest..back in his era fighters were like they are today.

Very well done. I had just graduated High School in Okinawa and was finally able to devote all of my time to Martial Arts in 1973. I hoped to be good enough to someday train with Bruce Lee. Within a month Bruce Lee had died. I was devastated. He has been a continuing inspiration and guiding light to me ever since. Please continue with your work, it is deeply spiritual to all of us who revere Bruce Lee.

[@sparklysparks77]

You deserve millions of views and many thousand of dollars in support. You almost made me weep. This video makes me think back on the hypothetical match between Bruce and Ali. My theory is, Bruce was afraid of unleashing the full power of his fists _and_ his feet once he realized he was not really hurting the giant playing by the rules. But that fight is only one of the many things Bruce Lee was not able to do in such a short lifetime.

[@phil9210]

As someone stated, The first part of this sent chills down my spine. I was and still a big Bruce Lee fan. Started as a young kid of course. Its great being able to see Lee's face on a recent movie. Keep up the great work. I'm a Bruce Lee fan who likes and appreciates the work your doing. Awesome 👍🏾

[@iseehowitis9382]

I'm glad that the camera person at the time got all this valuable footage. This seems accurate af.

[@1lastbet4dc]

I didn't know what deepfake was, I thought there was just a super Bruce Lee lookalike. But this is done with AI? It's amazing. This totally blew me away. It's scary how real it all looks. Loved it. I wish they would make a whole movie like that. And the moves were stunning. Exactly how I remembered the moves of Bruce himself. Well done.

[@davidshareefChTPhD]

[@eraticfx]

I've seen a lot of deepfakes and this was done really well. It's still bit off on the lighting and when it's in motion, but for the average person who doesn't know deepfakes, they wouldn't catch it at all. Bravo!

[@arthurleong]

Wow! This is really cool stuff! Keep up the great work. I wish they would remake that movie with your edits in those scenes. I really miss Bruce Lee. I was 11 years old when he passed away and was a great fan of his movies back then. I followed him from his first movie, The Big Boss until his last one, Enter The Dragon and even followed his moves and constructed my own nunchucks from pieces of wood that I took from a broom.

[@charlycolis9811]

This is SOOO fantastic stuff, man!!!! C'ant get enough, just found it on KZbin and instantly watched it 3 times!!!! This movie did such a good work to Bruce Lee's Legend (hated what Tarantino did to him) - and you put it to the next level!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!

[@Chewie316]

Damn, your deep fake is scary good and the accurate of the techniques I've seen. You should share your stuff with the Corridor Crew, they do a lot of deep fakes and they are in the entertainment industry and I think they'd be blown away as I was.
