* LargeHam: Being played by Chris Tucker.

* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:Subverted.]] He seemingly wants to be TheAtoner for betraying Lee's father, and invokes EvenEvilHasStandards (or at-least PragmaticVillainy) against the RenegadeSplinterFaction said to be responsible for bombing China's U.S. embassy. [[spoiler:He's full of crap — having indeed orchestrated the bombing and faked the Faction all along, to distract from his true plan. And he doesn't just lack remorse for betraying Lee's father; he's the one who killed him.]]

* QuickDraw: In the first movie, he is able to drop from a standing position, fire an ankle-holstered gun, stabilize his aim with his off-hand, and get a kill shot, in the time it takes an assassin to reach for and pull the trigger on a waist-holstered gun. In the second film, in the time Kenny takes to assume his fighting stance, Carter has his gun out and aimed at Kenny's ''head''. Because of the over the shoulder camera shot, viewers can see Lee visibly startled by the speed of the two of them.

* DefiantToTheEnd: While Lee is holding him at gunpoint and very inclined to kill the man, Ricky Tan still decides to start describing how he killed Lee's father and the man's "pathetic" request to not kill Lee.

* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Implied. He seems nostalgic when he mentions how his mother used to tell him the story of the dragon and the treasure.

* KnightOfCerebus: While his boss is definitely a [[VileVillainSaccharineShow vile villain]], Sang's psychopathy, his nightmarish kidnapping of Soo-Yung, and his high body count of dozens make him a terrifying threat in an otherwise lighthearted movie
