* AuthorsSavingThrow: Creator/JetLi's previous film, ''Film/RomeoMustDie'', was criticised for relying too much on CGI and wirework for the fight scenes. This film eschewed both approaches in favour of a more realistic and brutal style more in keeping with his Hong Kong films.

* GodModeSue: Liu is literally unstoppable through the film, being able to wipe the floor with an entire class of black belts and having acupunture skills which are magic in everything but the name. It takes two frightening [[EliteMook Elite Mooks]] to put a challenge against him, all while he is tired of destroying the aforementioned black belts, and even so he ends killing them anyway. At the end, he kills Richard totally [[NoSell no-selling]] a gunshot in the process.

* CompleteMonster: [[DirtyCop Corrupt police inspector]] Jean-Pierre Richard orchestrates the murder of his target, before promptly killing the prostitute who did the deed and attempting to frame TheHero, Chinese intelligence agent Liu, for the crime. It is soon revealed Richard is the head of a prostitution ring, where he forces women into prostitution. One such woman is Jessica, the [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold heroine]] who only works for Richard because he is using her daughter as a ransom. When Liu aids Jessica and begins dismantling Richard's operation, Richard decides he'll be pimping out the little girl, just to make up his losses.
