8 | !!''Lasko – Die Faust Gottes'' provides examples of: |
9 | |
10 | * AllMonksKnowKungFu: The premise of the series. |
11 | * BareFistedMonk: The order of Pugnus Dei contains several of these. |
12 | * ChurchMilitant: The secret society Ares play with the trope, for they are not the church themselves, but "merely" wish to strengthen the Vatican. |
13 | * DirtyOldMonk: Brother Gladius. |
14 | * GirlOfTheWeek: Subverted since there are one-episode-only female characters with attraction to the main character, but Lasko is a CelibateHero. |
15 | * HeroicBSOD: Lasko has one of these in the Kosovo war and decided to become a monk afterward. |
16 | * NebulousEvilOrganisation: Secret society Ares take this role. |
17 | * NoMacGuffinNoWinner: "The 5th Gospel", where the eponymous book ends up being burned (along with the villain). |
18 | * PoisonedWeapons: Taken to extremes when an evil pharmaceutical company plans on poisoning a whole city with a train coated with contact poison. |
19 | * PoliceAreUseless: While our main heroes are aided by policewomen (mainly from the ''Bundeskriminalamt''), they are not too useful very often. |
20 | * RatedMForManly: Hello? A monk kicking arse all over the place, what more could you want? |
21 | * ReligiousBruiser: Lasko obviously, but (with maybe the exception of Brother Gladius) the whole order Pugnus Dei. |
22 | * ShirtlessScene: If it [[LetsGetDangerous gets serious]], you get one of these: a muscle-bound, bare-chested monk fighting another man. |
23 | * StockPhrases: |
24 | -->'''Scientist:''' Only over my dead body.\ |
25 | '''Villain:''' If you wish... |
26 | * TitleDrop: "Pugnus Dei" is Latin for "The Fist of God". |
27 | * TraintopBattle: Well, it's actually inside the train... |
28 | * WarriorMonk: Obviously. |
