Actually there is a very important lesson in this fight.
PREDICTABILITY IS BAD
You must be able to fight more than one way, if I know what you are going to do (or you only have one way to fight) then you are easily defeated. This is true in all aspects: techniques, timing, stances, distancing...
In the beginning Chuck is fighting standard TKD, so Bruce tries to match his style.
Bruce starts getting his butt kicked.
So then Bruce has a gestalt and realizes that he is not a TKD fighter.
He changes to JKD and starts kicking Chuck's butt.
Chuck realizes TKD is not working so he tries to fight JKD, of which he knows nothing about and then gets killed.
Moral, if you only have one way to fight then you are predictable and will probably loose.

It was deliberately written to present this lesson. When given free reign, Bruce always tried to impart his own philosophy on the martial arts into his films.

Umm, pardon my ignorance if its showing but wasn't/isn't Norris a Karate guy not TKD?

AHH, sorry, me bad.
Norris was in the Air Force and while in Korea he studied Tang Soo Do.
If you know the history of the martial arts in the United States, back in the 60's and 70's there was no such thing as a Taekwon-Do, Shotakan, Aikido... studios.
And back then the only word that these round-eyes understood was KARATE. So reguardless of the style almost every martial arts studio had a sign out front that said KARATE.
Then in the 80's you started to see all the signs change to Taekwon-do/Karate - Kung Foo/Karate - Judo/Karate. Thus trying to make the connection of their name to a martial art.
Tang Soo Do, Hap Ki Do, Tae Kwan Do...
all the sister Kwans from Korea are very similar.
They all have most of their roots from Japan as that is where the Korean Masters studied, due to the attempted Japanese cultural genicide.
Anyway you might look at Tang Soo do and see similaraties to Karate.
So when I look at these arts they are all very similar.
Sorry

A lot of people are referencing a list of "facts" about Chuck Norris.

He can bring animals back to life with a beard rub, and talks in round house kicks apparently.
