!! Marco Polo contains examples of:
* BadassCrew: The four assassins, Li Xiong-Feng, Zhou Xing-Zheng, Huang Zong-Han and Chen Jie, who providses the last line of defense against the Mongols in the final assault on the Shaolin temple.
* BloodBrothers: The four assasins again, born of different families but raised together in the Shaolin temple.
* BloodFromTheMouth: On all three of the Mongol lieutenants when they died.
* BraidsOfBarbarism: On all three of the Mongol Lieutenants.
* ChekhovsSkill: Most of the assassin's skills which they obtain during their TrainingMontage ends up helping them one way or another in the final battle, such as Zhou Xing-Zheng being able to move large rocks and Huang Zong-Han learning how to collapse hard surfaces by aiming for their weak points.
* FiveManBand: The four assassins and Marco Polo himself.
** TheHero: Li Xiong-Feng, with most of the assassins' story being told from his viewpoint.
** TheLancer: Zhou Xing-Zheng, the most skilled of the group when it comes to taking names, and had the second most development throughout the story.
** TheBigGuy: Huang Zong-Han, the strongest of the crew, who trains in breaking rocks and boulders with his bare hands.
** TheSmartGuy: Chen Jie, the strategist during the final defense of the temple against the Mongol assault.
** TheChick: Marco Polo, also serving as an AudienceSurrogate being a foreigner witnessing the Shaolin warriors' plight in their battle against the mongols.
* FloatingHeadSyndrome: Done for the International release poster featuring Richard Harrison's giant head looming over the horizon. (see above)
* GoodHairEvilHair: Marco Polo and the Mongol Lieutenants all have thick, impressive moustaches.
* HoldTheLine: In the climax, while his brothers takes on various Mongol factions by going for the lieutenants, it is up to Huang Zong-Han staying in the temple's courtyard to battle an entire incoming horde of Mongol soldiers and prevent them from entering the temple's inner sanctums. He did an impressive job with it, too.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Huang Zong-Han and Zhou Xing-Zheng in the finale. The former grabs two broken doors and uses them to whack the snot out of Mongol invaders, while the latter picks up giant boulders as a makeshift bludgeon.
* InASingleBound: Al four protagonists have skills that allows them to traverse great heights simply by jumping, but even more evident on Li Xiong-Feng, the protagonist, whose training includes scenes of him learning to jump from bottom of pools.
* MookLieutenant: The Mongol army's generals, Abulahua, Caldalu and Dulidan, whom were seen leading their troops against the assassins.
* OneManArmy: Zhou Xing-Zheng and Huang Zong-Han both gets to fight solo in the final battle, holding off legions and legions of Mongol soldiers while fighting alone. They DoNotGoGentle either, as they [[spoiler: succumbed to sustaining multiple injuries, and took more than 60 names each before they expire]].
* SecondaryCharacterTitle: Nope, Marco Polo isn't the protagonist (he's a SupportingProtagonist and AudienceSurrogate at best), the four assassins are.
* FishOutOfWater: When Marco Polo gets to know the four assassins after taking refuge in the Shaolin temple, more often than not due to him being a Westerner he ends up being confused with the concept of honour, loyalty, pacifism and all those values held by the Shaolin students.
* TakingYouWithMe: Huang Zong-Han, in the courtyard facing off nearly a hundred Mongol invaders trying to force their way in, ends up being cornered under a balcony after being overwhelmed by his enemies. [[spoiler: Rather than giving the Mongols the pleasure of intruding the temple's main hall, Huang instead tackles a pillar, causing the entire balcony to collapse, crushing himself and at least 50 remaining enemies to death]].
* WalkingShirtlessScene: All four of the assassins fight shirtless in the finale, as do some of the Mongolians' MookLieutenant warriors.
* ZergRush: The lesser Mongol soldiers prefers using this method to overwhelm the Shaolin assassins. It didn't work.
