In The Kiss of Death Jet Li used a variety of pins in various body locations to incapacitate various opponents. As a "good guy" who, through a rather unfortunate series of events was fighting against other good guys. Now, naturally in a Hollywood flick you cannot have good versus good, so unlike real life (snicker) the good guys he fought against were of course corrupt police. Still, he did not know this, so following the Hollywood Code, he incapacitated them without harming them.
At the close of the movie he came face to face with the villanous Police Inspector (I believe it was set in France) and used those deadly pins to kill him in a brutal, painful fashion which he explained in gory detail. Now, my personal movie watching preferences are the cheesy John Wayne death...guy grabs his chest and falls over. Hey, I am a sharp cookie, I know what happened...this death was the one people like nowadays with blood gushing forth all over the place, stuff like that. For me, the least likable part of the movie.
I have to say, when people say dying for a kiss, I am pretty sure that isn't what they meant. Then again, neither is this:

Of the two, this one is funnier. Can you imagine doing that eulogy? I wonder when someone will invent "mouth condoms" for these type of incidents? Maybe you should, you could be rich...

Just so as to avoid confusion, the movie I believe you are referring to is "The Kiss of the Dragon." I must agree that the death at the end was gruesome and unnecessary. The guy could have just as easily keeled over after standing immobile for a few moments, but whatever. And yes, the real death is much more ammusing, except that it was real. I feel sorry for her... so maybe I'll say I'm laughing with her. :P
