Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

HanPolo First things first: this is not a Bruce Lee film. The opening sequence makes it look like a brief interlude with old martial arts footage being used to maintain the interest of the viewer, when all of a sudden the viewer realizes 15 minutes later that it's not stopping. It occurs to the viewer that he/she is watching a feature presentation of some kind, though, exactly what that feature hopes to accomplish is beyond all comprehension.The basic storyline is this: a journalist is at the "World Karate Championships" interviewing various D-list fighters and washed up athletes as to who will take on the crown of the recently deceased Bruce Lee. The movie then proceeds to take on an eerie biographic quality to it, tracking Bruce Lee's youth and development as a fighter with doctored footage that has been overdubbed to make it seem legit. The story drifts between the stories of Bruce, his family, the legacy of his grandfather, and the journalist (in the present day) narrating the climax to the fight at the end of the day to determine the new grand champion.Don't bother watching it. The fight was terrible, the overdubbing is cruelly plagiaristic, and the real-time acting is on par with the adult film industry gaining popularity at the time.

jamie_star12 This is perhaps one of the worst 'movies' i have ever seen. Truthfully, I could not bare to watch the film in its entirety and ended up skipping through parts of it. It is disgraceful that Bruce Lee's name is even mentioned in relation to this production at all.There is a fake scene terribly sewn together which is supposed to represent dialogue between Bruce Lee and Aaron Banks where they are talking about the 'Touch of Death'. How they could do this to Bruce Lee is simply grotesque and offensive.Watch this only to gain an insight into just how shallow and depraved some people really are or if you have recently discovered that you are immortal and have the time on your hands.

CelluloidRehab Fist of Fear, Touch of Death is a epic movie in the genre that exploited the consumer desire after the death of Bruce Lee. In the vernacular, this is a Bruce-ploitation movie. I have seen a few of these, with most bordering on the ridiculous and having little to do with Bruce Lee (except for the use of his name, image, words, etc). Some are enjoyable on that ridiculous level, but most are unwatchable. FoF,ToD is epic in the scale at which it seemingly exhumes and defecates on Bruce's image. I can safely add this alongside Orgy of the Dead, as the two worst movies I have ever witnessed.I don't know how to start. This movie is a multi-leveled disaster. On one level it tries to fake investigative journalism surrounding the "theory" of the pressure point death spot, a.k.a. Touch of Death, and whether or not it was the "secret" cause of Bruce's death. This is mostly done through the narration/"interviews" of NY actor Adolph Caesar (who most will remember for his role in Club Paradise).Other levels include staged martial arts exhibitions by Ron Van Clief, Bill Louie and Aaron Banks, all in tribute (of course). The Hammer, Fred Williamson, shows up as himself for no apparent reason as well. Yes I know he was one of Bruce's students, but that doesn't explain his purpose in this movie. Add another level, by showing two different movies and somehow linking them up. The first movie being an early, early, early black & white Bruce movie that resembles the Chinese version of Leave it to Beaver. That is somehow linked to a color, period-piece martial arts movie that does not star Bruce. The cherry topping to this turd cake are the dubbings, especially Bruce's martial arts fortune cookie-like sayings. It isn't even Bruce Lee's voice, it's much worse.Others have commented that even though this movie is atrocious, it still maintains a ridiculous humor. Sadly, I searched for any spark of humor, but was met with a dull, boring pain instead. The production value just screams of a VHS copy of someone's home video of their trip to New York being found in a dumpster and edited by one coming out of a weekend of chasing the dragon.All those who commented that they enjoyed this, did recommend not watching this by oneself. All I can say is that any fun derived from watching this with others, is laughing at your "friends" as they writhe around on the floor in agony. If Mel Gibson made a biography film based on Bruce Lee in a similar manner to the Passion of the Christ, this would be it, because you will feel approximately the same amount of pain that Bruce would have felt in death. Skip it. Don't say I didn't warn you.-Celluloid Rehab

Alexander Kominek Unfortunately, this film neither features real martial arts, nor is it a classic. It hardly even features Bruce Lee, except for some old footage that has been re-dubbed to make it look like Lee actually agreed to this film being made. I hope somebody got sued for this one.This could have been a good documentary about the "1979 Karate Championship" but most of the footage from the karate matches is obviously staged, and has little to do with Chinese martial arts. Some interesting "facts" were revealed by this film however. For instance, prior to watching "Fist of Fear", I had no idea that Lee's great grandfather was the greatest Chinese samurai warrior.There are a few funny moments in the film (the Bill Louie Kato scene, or when Fred Williamson is introduced for example) but if you have any respect for Bruce Lee or film-making in general, I would highly recommend avoiding this film.Lex
