History Film / BloodAndBone

--> '''McVeigh:''' ''[seeing Price still in his suit]'' Do you want to change first?
--> '''Price:''' ''[gives Bone a quick once-over]'' For what?

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: In his first two OHKOs, Bone takes a brief look at his opponent's warmups and notices the opening after throwing their techniques out...and swiftly exploits them.

** CurbstompCushion: Except in the cases of Pretty Boy Price, who managed to get a few good licks in before Bone handed him his ass, and one of Bone's come-up matches against a guy in what looked like a strip club.

* SmartPeoplePlayChess: Bone plays chess with Danny and the old man. "always thinking 3 moves ahead" "''5'' moves ahead, sonny"

** Roberto was just a nice old man renting with Bone and spent his days playing chess. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, James has him [[LeaveNoWitnesses silenced]] for witnessing one of his killings]].

* BadassBaritone: In tandem with him being a deadly-skilled martial artist, Bone has a pretty deep voice.

%%* SmartPeoplePlayChess: Bone plays chess with Danny and the old man. "always thinking 3 moves ahead" "''5'' moves ahead, sonny"

After being released from prison, Isaiah Bone (White) decides to makes a name for himself in the underground fighting scene in Los Angeles in an attempt to fulfill a promise to a dead friend.

-->'''Pinball:''' Goddamn! You just took out the whole village! The whole motherfucking village! *wooh's at the wad of money in his hands, [[GroinAttack previously liberated from an opposing gangster's pants,]] and promptly sniffs it*\\

--> '''Pinball:''' You just took out the village! The whole mothafuckin' village!!!

* NotSoAboveItAll: James. He usually raises a hand to Angela or otherwise shows disdain to people who swear in his presence, and also prides himself on [[StraightEdgeVillainy not drinking or smoking.]] However, in the third act of the movie, when his plans start falling apart, he's [[SirSwearsALot cursing every third word]] and swilling down scotch while he's checking to see if his people have tracked down Bone yet.

* TheBrute: Hammerman fits this trope to a T. Large, imposing, none too bright, and savage to fight against...unless your name is Isaiah Bone.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Pinball, no saint himself, is disgusted when retelling how James forced Angela to be his mistress by [[spoiler: [[MurderTheHypotenuse offing her husband]] and [[WouldHurtAChild supposedly her child]] as well]], calling it "the kind of story that makes you lose faith in humanity".

* NotSoAboveItAll: James. He usually raises a hand to Angela or otherwise shows disdain to people who swear in his presence, and also prides himself on not drinking or smoking. However, in the third act of the movie, when his plans start falling apart, he's [[SirSwearsALot cursing every third word]] and swilling down scotch while he's checking to see if his people have tracked down Bone yet.
* NWordPrivileges: Bob Sapp has it and uses it. Dante Basco? Not so much. Didn't stop him from using it, though. This movie was very much a product of its time.

* BriefcaseFullOfMoney: How James presents his $10 million entrance fee for Bone to fight "Pretty Boy" Price.

* BlackIsBiggerInBed: In a [[ActuallyPrettyFunny surprisingly funny moment]], James responds to a racist tirade by relating a story about how rich white men from hundreds of years ago used to think they were superior to all the dark skinned savages they met until "one of the brothers dropped their loin cloth".

* WouldHitAGirl: James. [[CarFu With a car]]. He also [[DomesticAbuse raises his hand against Angela]] when she repeatedly [[BerserkButton curses at him.]]

* ButNowIMustGo: After fulfilling his promise to his friend Danny, Bone declines Angela's and Pinball's offers to stick around, and [[RidingIntoTheSunset walks off towards the sunset]].

* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Danny was a "[[NiceGuy choir boy]]" who was wrongfully imprisoned, leaving behind his wife and son. Despite everything, he remained optimistic and promised to look out for Bone after his sentence was up. Unfortunately, [[spoiler: he's killed in prison by KC]].

* AsianAndNerdy: Pinball heavily averts this. He uses a ''lot'' of urban hood slang and curses just as much.

* AnArmAndALeg: When James loses it and tries to kill Bone with a katana, he is instantly made to regret it. [[spoiler:He gets beaten down with nothing but the [[SheathStrike scabbard]] of a Chinese jian and eventually gets his hand sliced off [[HoistByHisOwnPetard with his own sword]]]].

* WorldsBestWarrior: Pretty Boy Price. [[spoiler:He loses this title after Bone defeats him, though not without considerable effort]].
