Frank Dux's brick-breaking demonstration is purely fictional, as is the Dim Mak ("Death Touch") - a legendary move fabled in Chinese martial arts folklore. The Dim Mak is an accu-pressure attack where the attacker quickly strikes his opponent several times (in sequence) at various spots on his body. Striking an opponent in this method can result in broken bones, paralysis/painful muscle spasms or even instant death. Pei-Pei Cheng's character Jade Fox uses a paralyzing Dim Mak-type attack in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000).

Chong Li (Bolo Yeung) says "brick don't hit back" after Frank Dux breaks a brick. In Enter the Dragon, Bruce Lee's character says "boards don't hit back" when Bolo Yeung's character breaks a board.

In order for the real Frank Dux's claim of scoring 56 knockouts in the Kumite to be true then the Kumite would have had to have had over 72 quadrillion fighters participating in it. That's more than 10 million times the total human population of the Earth.
