* ItsAllUpstairsFromHere: The climax is set in a pagoda, where Tan has to scale one level after another, battling, in order, an English fencer, a DualBoss Mongolian wrestlers, an Indian Yoga expert, a Japanese karate fighter, and the BigBad.
* KillerYoYo: The movie has Tan fighting a katana-wielding enemy with a yoyo. And winning. To be fair, the yoyo in question is made of RazorFloss.
* KnifeOutline: Tan fights a rival knife expert who uses a whole bunch of flung knives on the hero. Who proceeds to turn the tide of battle and pin his enemy to the wall behind him with his own knives.
* WilliamTelling: The film has a scene with the apple-split-by-arrow variety.
