"Fist of Fear, Touch of Death" is routinely lambasted by fans of martial arts movies for its complete ignorance not only of the facts of Bruce Lee's life, but of its apathy towards the culture of China (karate and samurais are constantly referred to as being Chinese, even though they are actually Japanese).Fans are also usually disappointed to learn that Bruce Lee had no actual involvement in this film (it was released 7 years after his death), despite the fact that his face is invariably plastered on posters and DVD boxes for the film.
