I agree with the consensus supporting Lee and his legitimacy.
First of all, the videos are from the 60's, so while the quality isn't great there isn't any doctoring. Its not an impossible move(its still demonstrated by different black belts), but its still a nice feat and it certainly DOES NOT merit any discredating. I don't see how mastering a move thats doable means the fighter is illegitimate.
Anyways, if there was a super featherweight division in UFC, and Bruce Lee was in his prime in today's genre of training, he would PWN. Its insulting to his legacy to think otherwise. Jeet Kun Do was what most believe the first form of MMA. He had it figured out in 1965, 38 years before any UFC.
