Right, viral marketing clip, sorry.

Now it's an advert for a new Nokia phone, apparently showing Bruce Lee playing ping pong. My first reaction was, wow that's great CGI and a clever idea, but my brother actually thinks it's real. I've explained to him that it's impossible, but what do you think? Real or fake?

Fake. Firstly you might be able to hit the ball with the chucks but you certainly wouldn't be able to control it well enough hit it repeatedly back across the table (in fact in a couple of cases the angle the ball and chuck collide physically couldn't cause the ball to come back the way it did) and secondly the guy's build is wrong for him to be Bruce Lee.

Depends if it’s an air brick or not, I suppose.

I've seen this before, elsewhere. Definitely think it's fake. If real, why has the clip not surfaced until now?
