Cowboy Bebop, Jeet Kune Do and Aikido

Hey all, was just watching my favorite episode of Cowboy Bebop (session 7, waltz for venus, great great episode) and just noticed Spike using very similar (at least to my untrained eye) principles and techniques to what I percieve as aikido being like somewhat.

So I decided to look into what martial art Spike in fact uses and found that he is supposed to be a master of Jeet Kune Do, the style bruce lee created.

So here's the question, anyone here studyed or know much about jeet kune do and agree that they seem somewhat similar or have some comparisons or whatnot? Or is the way bebop portrays Jeet Kune Do totally off? Or maybe it's just spikes twist on it because of his personality that makes it seem so "soft" and "fluid"
