{{quote|''"A master of the Dim-Mak can poke an enemy in a certain spot and they die. It originated in ancient China when early man still had prominent off-switches located around the body, much like a modern lamp. Back then, you could kill a guy by selling him the wrong sized hat."''|'''[[Seanbaby]]''', ''[[Cracked.com]]''}}
A particularly subtle type of [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique]], the '''Touch of Death''' allows its practitioner to instantly kill their opponent with extremely minimal force. This can be accomplished either with one touch [[Pressure Point|at a specific point]], or a series of precisely calculated strikes.
Line 130 ⟶ 129:
* ''[[Kung Fu Panda]]'':
** Tai Lung is able to paralyze anyone with his nerve strikes, but his method was crude and amateurish compared to Master Oogway who is fast and skilled enough to strike with a complex ''pattern of nerve strikes'' and do it in [[Bullet Time]]! Also subverted in that one of Po's advantages is that his body fat protects his nerves so well that nerve striking is useless on him.
** There's also the Wuxi Finger Grip, which (apparently; neither the scene in question nor [[Word of God]] is entirely clear) causes the victim to explode with city-shaking force merely by flexing the pinky finger.
* Death from ''[[Family Guy]]'' can kill with a touch; excused by his being, well, ''[[The Grim Reaper|Death]]''. When [[Death Takes a Holiday]] and Peter needs to fill in for him, simply wearing Death's shroud causes anything Peter touches to instantly die, even without intending it. He learns this the hard way.
* In ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'', there's one-shot character Dan from Grim Reaper Gutters, who won't leave until he makes a sale! He kills Carl [[Butt Monkey|(of course)]] with a Touch of Death after Carl refuses to buy any gutters.
