* Why does Shifu say that the day Po was chosen as the Dragon Warrior was the worst day of his life, after everything that happened with Tai Lung? Simple. Shifu once vowed to train the person to be handpicked to be the Dragon Warrior, only to find out treating his other students so his work was all in vain. Instead this big fat joke had been chosen and made a mockery of all Shifu's hard work. And worst of all, that meant he'd alienated his adopted son for nothing.

Instead he gets an outsider, worse, a fat panda that seems useless and stupid. As far as Shifu knew, at the time, all his hard work with his students had been for nothing.

* How was the Soothsayer able to perform acupuncture on Po when Mantis failed in the first movie? It's possible that she's just better than Mantis (who had to have a panda anatomy chart for reference), but since she knows where the Panda Village is, it's entirely possible that she had treated pandas before, to the point of knowing where to find their pressure points beneath all the fur... ahem, fat... by memory. By contrast, Po is the only panda in the Valley of Peace, so Mantis wouldn't have any chance to practice on panda anatomy.

** Europeans didn't go to China and invent cannons, or any black powder weaponry. The Chinese had black powder weapons as far back as the late 10th century, almost 300 hundred years before they arrived in Europe. Europeans simply innovated on the initial designs and concepts, as European counties had more time and resources to devote to the construction of black powder weaponry. To simplify the whole concept and symbolism as some sort of ethnic characterization, or misconstruing the colour of White to a particular demographic is racist.

** This also ties into the above quote, as Shifu, Tai Lung and Shen were all faced with their inner turmoil because they ran from their destinies; Shifu refused to confront his issue with Tai Lung and instead locked him away, Tai Lung refused to see the inner darkness within him and listen to authorities, and Shen believing he could wipe out that which will kill him. Meanwhile, Po was confronted by painful memories of losing his parents but instead of running away from them, he actively sought out those memories to find closure.

It takes some thinking to realise that the "warrior of black and white" in the prophecy might be ''Shen himself''. His primary colours are also black and white. Note that the cannons and the gunpowder are black. There is a brief, stylized shot showing Shen with half his face black paralleling the ying-yang symbol, and it is the smoke figure of Shen that transforms into the yin-yang symbol when the Soothsayer tries to predict his fate. And in the final confrontation, some of Shen's white feathers are covered in black soot. Over the course of the movie, including the backstory, Shen loses his parents, his right to the throne of Gongmen city (and eventually destroys even its symbol, the throne itself, upon returning), his old home, his surrogate mother, and his oldest and only remaining friend, all through his own actions. Even the destruction of his remaining forces in the finale comes from deflected cannon shots he ordered to fire. Finally, in the last battle against Po, he directly contributed to the wreck of his cannon falling on him by accidentally cutting the ropes during the fight. Indeed, it can be argued that Shen defeated and destroyed himself quite thoroughly, and maybe he even realizes the irony, when he calmly allows the cannon to crush him.

* After doing some research, I am really starting to think Po and Tigress will get together because of a famous concept in Chinese philosophy: Yin and yang. Just in case you're not completely familiar with it, it essentially describes how two opposites need each other to create balance and harmony. Yin is feminine, dark, passive, quiet, introverted, and associated with night. Yang is masculine, light, active, loud, outgoing, and associated with the day. But what '''REALLY''' caught my eye were the animals that symbolize yin and yang. The '''TIGER''' represents '''YIN'''. The '''DRAGON''' represents '''YANG'''. Obviously, of course, this brings to mind Tigress and Po - the Dragon Warrior. Dating back to the first movie, we've seen a lot of scenes focusing on Tigress at night - when she tells Po "you don't belong here", the scene explaining Shifu and Tai Lung's history, Tigress and the four others running off to fight Tai Lung. In the second movie, there was [[spoiler: the scene of Po and Tigress on the boat, the escape from the collapsing palace, the hug in the prison, and when the Five are being carried by boat to their "execution" after Po is believed to be dead.]] Whether you've seen the second movie or not, I'm sure you'd at least agree that a lot of Po-centric scenes occur in the first movie, and there are several of them in the second as well. [[spoiler: Although, going back to the comment about Tigress hugging Po at night, it's worth noting that he hugs her during the day.]] [[spoiler: Night and Day… Tiger and Dragon… Yin and Yang.]] ;) Even in the Chinese Zodiac, there is a Year of the Tiger and a Year of the Dragon. When describing the personalities, of the zodiac, this was what I found. I highlighted stuff particularly worth noting. Female Tiger: She has got an allure to cut your breath, she is captivating, funny and sexy. She is also '''filled with an unsociable independence''' and the relationships based on possessiveness make her escape for sure. The Tigress makes men camp in front of her door so much '''her charm is powerful but only one of the most patient men can hope to capture'''. (I thought of the scene where Po watched Tigress shatter the tiles in midair in KFP, and then grabbed "The Love Chunk") XD Male Dragon: '''What motivates the life of a Dragon is difficulty, he needs to prove to himself that he is capable to surpass himself and that his destiny is not like those of the ordinary mortals'''. In love like in business he wants to dominate, he will never accept the supremacy of a woman for anything else than the education of his children. If you know how to preserve his interest alive, he will cover you with diamonds. KFP - "Yeah, I stayed. I stayed because [...] it could never hurt more than everyday of my life just being me. I stayed because I thought if anyone can change me, can make me not me, it was you!" (Po, to Shifu) Not everything about the Dragon really describes Po, but not everything about the Tiger describes Tigress, either. Whether or not they put a lot of research into it, Dreamworks did seem to have some knowledge of yin and yang, so they included the concepts in both movies. In the first movie, I remember it appears when Shifu describes how Oogway founded kung fu using "harmony and focus".

* What happened to Crane's broken wing? One scene he's forced to run, the next scene he's flying fine, and the next scene, well,
-->Wings of Justice!!!
** When did anyone say it was broken? He probably just strained or sprained it. Plus, we have no idea how long Po was out. Those two facts put together leads me to believe that Crane injured his wing in some way, and it healed off screen before the big confrontation.
** Crane's left wing was indeed injured while Shen was firing cannon balls at the tower. Crane even says it himself, and it looks pretty messed up, but I don't think it was broken.
** Most likely, kung fu masters can heal faster than ordinary beings, by directing their chi (also explains why medicine in KFP verse seemingly mostly boils down to acupuncture, i.e., chi manipulation). Once Crane had time to catch his breath, he was able to recover. Plus, Mantis is an acupuncturist, he may have had a hand -- er -- pincer in the deal.
** This troper read an article about the Ninja. The article (probably not very accurate, but possible) claimed ninja were taught as children how to dislocate/relocate their bones to escape ropes. I know this is out there, but, considering many of Ninjutsu's techniques and strategies came from China, it is quite possible the Furious Five were taught this, meaning Crane probably relocated his wing into the socket. Or, a more realistic option, one of the Five popped his wing back into place, similar to Mr. Miyagi helping Daniel in the first Karate Kid movie.
*** [[InterchangeableAsianCultures Ninjas are NOT Chinese.]] Ninjas are Japanese. As is Karate, while we're on the subject. And besides that, most ninjas were female, and trained from birth. Crane is neither of those things.
** It's a ''wing''. It's mostly feathers. If some of them (particularly the ones he uses as FeatherFingers) were dislodged, he'd only be impaired until he could straighten them out again, perhaps reinforcing any broken shafts with splinters of bamboo.
* When did the Wolf Boss get out of Shen's Palace? Last time we saw him, he was hit by a flying piece of furniture, and not thirty seconds later, Shen escapes and orders the tower destroyed. Did he really climb down all those stairs in such a short amount of time?
** It's a LOT easier to go down stairs than it is to climb them. He also likely fled just after Po and the others got free and attacked. And wolves are fast creatures.
** And if he was still out cold, the same ape that got the Soothsayer out might've scooped him up and tossed him over a shoulder on the way. Those guys are surely strong enough to carry both a goat and a wolf, even a wolf in armor.
* After Shen was told that a warrior of black and white would defeat him if he continued on his dark path, he went out and apparently killed only pandas. Yet there are other animals out there that are more threatening then pandas that are black and white, like white tigers or even cranes (as Master Crane is mostly black and white). It could also be another seemingly albino animal like Shen, meaning it wouldn't even have to be an entire species of animal and could be an individual. Also because animals in this world wear clothes, it could be a black animal with a white outfit or vise versa. So why focus exclusively on just pandas when the prophecy never mentioned what kind of warrior would defeat him?
** Maybe Po's biological father was a locally reknowned Kung Fu warrior, and Shen's mind immediately assumed it would be him or one of his students who were fated to defeat him.
** [[spoiler: The sequel to this movie reveals why: Pandas were believed to be an ancient order of monks who knew how to manipulate Chi, to the point that the Warlord Kai wanted their power for his own to conquer China and Shen feared that it would be the method used to take him down due to the prophecy, so he was determined to invent something to counter it at all cost. Gunpowder just so happened to be nearby...]]

*** [[InterchangeableAsianCultures Ninjas are NOT Chinese.]] Ninjas are Japanese. As is Karate, while we're on the subject. And besides that, most ninjas were female, and trained from birth. Crane is neither of those things.
** It's a ''wing''. It's mostly feathers. If some of them (particularly the ones he uses as FeatherFingers) were dislodged, he'd only be impaired until he could straighten them out again, perhaps reinforcing any broken shafts with splinters of bamboo.
* When did the Wolf Boss get out of Shen's Palace? Last time we saw him, he was hit by a flying piece of furniture, and not thirty seconds later, Shen escapes and orders the tower destroyed. Did he really climb down all those stairs in such a short amount of time?
** It's a LOT easier to go down stairs than it is to climb them. He also likely fled just after Po and the others got free and attacked. And wolves are fast creatures.
** And if he was still out cold, the same ape that got the Soothsayer out might've scooped him up and tossed him over a shoulder on the way. Those guys are surely strong enough to carry both a goat and a wolf, even a wolf in armor.
* After Shen was told that a warrior of black and white would defeat him if he continued on his dark path, he went out and apparently killed only pandas. Yet there are other animals out there that are more threatening then pandas that are black and white, like white tigers or even cranes (as Master Crane is mostly black and white). It could also be another seemingly albino animal like Shen, meaning it wouldn't even have to be an entire species of animal and could be an individual. Also because animals in this world wear clothes, it could be a black animal with a white outfit or vise versa. So why focus exclusively on just pandas when the prophecy never mentioned what kind of warrior would defeat him?
** Maybe Po's biological father was a locally reknowned Kung Fu warrior, and Shen's mind immediately assumed it would be him or one of his students who were fated to defeat him.
** [[spoiler: The sequel to this movie reveals why: Pandas were believed to be an ancient order of monks who knew how to manipulate Chi, to the point that the Warlord Kai wanted their power for his own to conquer China and Shen feared that it would be the method used to take him down due to the prophecy, so he was determined to invent something to counter it at all cost. Gunpowder just so happened to be nearby...]]

* It seems only appropriate that the radish crate Po was in ended up at the house of a noodle-maker. Had any other family in the village decided to take him in, Po would have eaten them out of house and home. But Mr. Ping's house/shop is a restaurant and has extra food supplies that are more than enough to feed a hungry baby panda.

Think about it, they are shipped almost from Gongmen City to the Valley of Peace, when he could easily get them from nearby villages.

* Why would Mr. Ping decide to not cook with radishes anymore after adopting Po, when he could just cook without them until his next order of vegetables arrived? Well, raising a son is a big decision that will not only affect you emotionally but also economically. Not using radishes anymore was his way of saving money that would help him raise his new son.
