Heh speed matters a lot - and i highly doubt just anyone grabbing Lee and swining him would really work - sure it sounds possible even for pro fighters, but remember that Bruce Lee IS considered the greatest martial artist around and having that title means just simply grabbing him once wouldn't mean much.
Hell Kareem Abduul Jaabar, Chuck Norris, Joe Lewis, and Steve McQueen were all students of his. He's regarded as one of the greatest for a reason.
Of course fighters today would probably know what he did and could take advantage of it - but I dunno about dismissing the "mystical" stuff so easily. His style was fighting of no style and he could adapt to pretty much anything anyone gave him. The guy really WAS lightning quick and sure its a movie but he really did know how to do those things for the screen - they weren't made up stunts.
