* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Frank Lane]], from ''The Art of War'', is a corrupt murderer in Brazil who secretly runs a [[SexSlave sex slaving ring]] that enslaves women and [[WouldHurtAChild children]], all to [[{{Greed}} put money in his pocket]]. Lane [[EstablishingCharacterMoment opens the film]] executing a runaway in front of the other slaves as a "lesson", and when he becomes obsessed with a young woman named Isabella, he kidnaps her to make her into his own slave. When hero David Sloane is on to him, he uses Isabella's life to force Sloane into a grueling training regimen so he loses a kickboxing match so Lane can profit. Even at the end, Lane shows no remorse, bragging he gave women a chance to be "part of something" in his dirty business.

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: The main protagonists tend to suffer SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome, and the main antagonist - Tong Po - tends to demonstrate JokerImmunity despite his brutal defeats. This can make the series feel like one big ShootTheShaggyDog story - and also makes Po come out as a KarmaHoudini since he never really faced any serious consequences for his previous actions. The remake averts this by having Kurt actually kill Po in self defense at the end.

Removing the actor's name since, according to Wikipedia, Tong Po's voice was done by an uncredited Jim Cummings. At the moment, I can find no other sources confirming this and the voice doesn't really sound much like Cummings.
