* ValuesDissonance: There's no way in hell that a white actor who didn't even know martial arts would be cast as Caine now. Driven home by how the 2021 reboot features a large Asian cast among its numerous changes.
* WhatAnIdiot: You really should ''not'' cross Caine. Or call him "Chinaman."
** In multiple episodes, Caine will knock an opponent down with one or two blows. Rather than just laying there, they almost inevitably decide that this must've been a fluke, and get up again. The result? They get knocked down again.

* {{Anvilicious}}: Racism is wrong. Surprisingly, some people ''still'' haven't figured that out.



** Since there's no real ending to the series, what happens to Kwai Chang? Does he ever settle down with anyone? Is he ever able to go back to China, and if so, would he want to?

Removing Fridge potholes. Take it to the associated Fridge subpage if needed.


* FridgeBrilliance: The AnnoyingArrows example is actually, if you watch carefully, ''subverted.'' Most people, when shot in the chest, don't get killed by the blow to the heart-they die because of the blood loss. Caine was meditating before he got shot, meaning that he slowed down his bloodflow enough that it's entirely possible that he could have survived, especially since it's implied he spent a while afterwards recuperating.
