* ActionGirl: Mai Kwei (Creator/ShihSzu) fights as well as her brother. Doesn't stop her from becoming a DamselInDistress for As she gets captured in the ending and Leyland has to rescue in her, that makes her a BadassInDistress.
* AdrenalineMakeover: Leyland begins
the ending.film as something of a dandy fully suited up, and even dressed rather too fancily when the expedition first begins. As the action progresses and he falls for Mai Kwei, his clothes get steadily rougher, and he's eventually got MessyHair and an IntimateOpenShirt.
* AmazonChaser: Leyland shows interest in Mai Kewi as soon as she demonstrates her fighting prowess.



* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Vanessa is excited by the idea of the expedition, even when she hears how dangerous it is. Naturally once she's experienced days of hiking without much rest or running water, she's not thrilled (but does take it in good spirits all the same).



* ClothingDamage: Vanessa goes through some during the journey to the village.

* ClothingDamage: Vanessa goes through some during the journey to the village. She ultimately just tears her ruined top off to leave herself in a vest.



* DistressedDude: Although Leyland charges into the temple to rescue Mai Kwei at the end, he ends up in distress with the remaining vampire, and his father has to save him.



* MenAreTheExpendableGender: [[spoiler: Several of the brothers get killed in the climactic fight with the vampires. Mai Kwei however is taken prisoner to be used as a sacrifice, as only females seem to be used for that.]]



* MrFanservice: San frequently walks around with his shirt open, allowing the audience to see his physique.
* NeutralFemale: As Vanessa is the only one in the group who isn't a trained fighter, when the fighting begins, she keeps to the sidelines. Her role in the film is to finance the trip.



* StakingTheLovedOne: [[spoiler:Hsi Ching]] is forced to kill [[spoiler:Vanessa]] after she is turned into a vampire. Grieved over this, he kills himself as well.

Added DiffLines:

* WorfHadTheFlu: Mai Kwei is taken prisoner at the end when a vampire knocks her off a ledge and catches her off guard, making it the only time in the movie an enemy is able to subdue her. She also isn't able to help Leyland fight the vampire because she's still partly chained up, and has only just freed herself by the time Van Helsing does the deed.
