- Complete Monster: Lo Fong is an ill-tempered Chinese insurgent seeking to avenge himself when cast out as a traitor and conducts slavery as a means of business, subjecting the slaves to horrible abuses as well. To this end, Lo Fong has Princess Pei-Pei abducted in order to force Imperial Guard Chon Wang into a fight for her life, while Lo Fong impedes his efforts to make it to said fight and cuts off his ponytail to dishonor him and prevent him from returning home as well. Lo Fong's own men also prove to not in any way be safe from his rage and ruthlessness either, as on more than one occasion, he brutally executes them for any kind of failure.
- Ho Yay: Chon and Roy have so much chemistry together through both films.
- Retroactive Recognition: Wallace is played by Walton Goggins, who remained a steady character actor for years afterwards before breaking into name-recognition territory.
- Viewer Gender Confusion: Little Feather, the Indian that Chon saves from the Crow and sibling of Falling Leaves is a boy, but he is easily mistaken for a girl due to his long-hair and gender neutral appearance and voice.
- What the Hell, Costuming Department?: Lampshaded in the DVD commentary for Noon, as director Tom Dey describes Owen Wilson's outfit after the climactic church showdown as looking "like Shaggy on Scooby-Doo."
