Bruce Lee's reflexes, speed, and power were legendary. He could make use of almost any common object as a lethal weapon. Once he was captured by some Honk Kong gangsters who were so in awe of his abilities that they tied him with heavy chains to a chair. With only 1 inch of play available to his hands, in one motion he ripped the nail holding the leg to the chair out and flicked it through the forehead of the head gangster, spattering his skull and brains in little chunks all over the room.
That is where the expression "death nail" came from.
