History Film / Elektra

* NeckSnap: At least one villain is dispatched this way.

* QuirkyMinibossSquad: Kirigi has his own squad, comprised of Tattoo (summons animals to fight for him through his tattoos), Typhoid Mary (a WalkingWasteland), Stone (super strength and really tough skin), and Kinkou (perfect [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway balance]]).

* AdaptationalHeroism: Like in ''Daredevil'', Elektra isn't remorseless and actually tries to keep Abby and her father safe.

* AnimatedTattoo: Tattoo.

* ImplausibleFencingPowers:

* ClothFu: Elektra fights Kirigi in a room full of flying white sheets. The villain seems to be manipulating them somehow to distract Elektra and/or hide his movements. Though as described by RogerEbert, "we're expecting maybe an elegant ZhangYimou sequence, and it's more like they're fighting with the laundry."

* NoBodyLeftBehind: The Hand villains turn to dust in a flash of green light. Even the [[TheBigBad major villains]] end this way.

A 2005 {{spinoff}} of the {{Film/Daredevil}} film starring Jennifer Garner as Elektra, a contracted assassin who is reluctant to carry out a hit on Mark and Abby Miller. In helping them escape, Elektra learns that Mark and Abby are not as [[{{Badass}} normal]] [[MoreThanMeetsTheEye as they appear to be]]. As she faces off against The Hand, an organization that seeks to capture Abby because she is the sacred "Treasure," Elektra soon learns that Kirigi, a member of The Hand, was sent to kill her mother when Elektra was only a child.
