1* AnticlimaxBoss: Sammo was once facing a man, claimed to be world's deadliest assassin, who had even killed two bodyguards with a pencil (see [[Recap/MartialLawS2E03ThisShogunForHire "This Shogun for Hire"]]). However when Sammo started fighting him [[spoiler: it turned out that the guy didn't even know kung fu. He was just a crook, who had accidentally killed a man with improperly prepared ''fugu'' while trying to hide from the police, and pretended to be an assassin for the money.]]
2* CompleteMonster: "Honor Among Strangers": [[RightWingMilitiaFanatic Cliff Eagleton]] is a [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain white supremacist]] encountered by Sammo Law and Cordell Walker. [[CopKiller Having murdered a Texas Ranger]], Eagleton sets up shop in Los Angeles where he proceeds to attempt to hijack a set of stinger missiles to bomb LA in order to remove "foreign" businesses. After being thwarted, he returns to Texas in part 2 of this {{crossover}}, ''Series/WalkerTexasRanger'''s "The Day of Cleansing", to initiate "The Cleansing", taking a group of trucks loaded with enough explosives to make the Oklahoma City bombing look tame, before driving them to foreign business centers and black churches, before detonating them all over the city in order to subjugate minorities and show them their "proper" place.
3* JustHereForGodzilla: It's pretty obvious that most of the viewers were watching the show solely to watch Creator/SammoHung kick ass and take names.
4* SeasonalRot: The second season, when Creator/SammoHung was saddled with Arsenio Hall to force the series to become a TV copy of ''Film/RushHour'', was doomed from the start.
