| 1 | * The opening. It may be a ForgottenFramingDevice, but it walks you right through what kind of film this is gonna be. [[EstablishingSeriesMoment From the minute you see lightning crackle between Egg Shen's fingers]], you know this is going straight past MaybeMagicMaybeMundane and into a Wuxia WorldOfWeirdness! |
| 2 | * Say what you will about Jack Burton's dorkiness, but he still gets the chance to kill the villain: Lo Pan throws Jack's knife at him, then Jack almost casually catches it and ''puts it right between Lo Pan's eyes!'' |
| 3 | -->'''Jack Burton:''' [[BondOneLiner It's all in the reflexes]]. |
| 4 | * All the fight scenes are very well choreographed. Such as the street fight and Wang VS Rain. |
| 5 | * Egg Shen's duel with David Lo Pan. Any sorcerers worth their salt can engage in a WizardDuel; but to make their BeamOWar transform into a pair of spirit warriors who engage in an epic slow-motion swordfight? ''That,'' you don't see every day. |
| 6 | ** Everything to do with Egg Shen in general. From his implied history with the BigBad, to using various magical cantrips to fend off the [[CoDragons Three Storms]] with ease, to his BadassBookworm nature, he's among the coolest of fiction's [[CoolOldGuy Cool Old Guys]]. |
| 7 | * Wang at the arcade. Especially his running around the arch upside down. |
| 8 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: John Carpenter films tended to have this. |
