Fist of Fear, Touch of Death, also known as The Dragon and the Cobra, is a 1980 American martial arts film set at the "1979 World Karate Championships" at Madison Square Garden that will supposedly determine the "successor" to Bruce Lee.

TV reporter Adolph Caesar is outside Madison Square Garden before the start of a martial arts tournament that will apparently determine the "successor" to the legacy of Bruce Lee.

He interviews martial arts promoter Aaron Banks, who says that Lee was actually killed by a kung fu move called "The Touch of Death."

Then, Caeser flashes back to earlier in the day, where action star Fred Williamson seen having to traverse through a number of obstacles to get to the tournament while being repeatedly mistaken for Harry Belafonte.

This segues into a scene of Bill Louie, dressed as Kato from The Green Hornet, saving two female joggers from being raped by a gang near the World War II memorial in Battery Park in broad daylight.

After Caesar announces the conclusion of "The Bruce Lee Story," the film transitions back to Madison Square Garden, where a number of performers are showcased.

Fist of Fear, Touch of Death is routinely lambasted by fans of martial arts movies for its complete ignorance of the facts of Bruce Lee's life and insensitivity toward the culture and history of China (karate and samurais are constantly referred to as being Chinese, even though they are actually Japanese).
