History Film / BulletProofMonk

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Strucker, once his youth is restored, is able to battle the monk on equal terms, in contrast to the rest of his men.

* EvilCripple: Strucker; when he's old, and thus feeble, he is still a vicious Nazi.

* NeckSnap: This is how Jade finishes off Nina during their fight in the sewers. Justified in that Nina was dazed, crippled, and slouching wearily in her arms.

* NeckSnap: This is how Jade finishes off Nina after breaking her leg and beating her senseless during their martial arts duel, hurling her battered corpse to the floor afterward. Brutal, but not out of character considering the multitude of armed guards she blew up beforehand. A somewhat weak example due to Jade's awkward grip on Nina.
* NeverBringAKnifeToAFistFight: Nina brings a sword to her martial arts duel with Jade. Jade still wins.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: We never see Nina again after Jade defeats her in the sewers. Did Jade kill her then and there, [[spoiler:or did she live, only to have her reputation as a Human Rights spokesperson destroyed by her actions carried out supporting her Nazi grandfather?]]

* Foreseeing My Death: When Nina first meets Jade, she directs her attention to an exhibit showing a helpless woman about to be executed, darkly hinting at her fascist beliefs by suggesting that she'd prefer to be the one doing the killing. This little threat blows up in her face, however, as Jade later manages to render her as helpless as the woman in the exhibit. Jade summarily executes Nina by snapping her neck, bringing the comparison between them and the victim/executioner full circle.

* NeckSnap: This is how Jade appears to finish off Nina after breaking her leg and beating her senseless during their martial arts duel, complete with a SickeningCrunch before she collapses in a heap at Jade's feet. Brutal, but not out of character considering the multitude of armed guards she blew up beforehand. A somewhat poor example due to Jade's awkward grip on the victim.

* NeckSnap: This is how Jade appears to finish off the haggard Nina after breaking her leg and beating her senseless during their martial arts duel, complete with a SickeningCrunch that can be heard before the Nazi collapses in a heap at Jade's feet, splayed across the sewer floor with her head lolling to the side. Brutal, but not out of character for Jade considering the multitude of armed guards she blew up beforehand. A somewhat poor example due to Jade's awkward grip on the victim.

*** [[spoiler:The two have a fight in Jade's mansion.]]

''Bulletproof Monk'' is a 2003 martial arts action-fantasy film starring Creator/ChowYunFat, Seann William Scott and Jaime King and is about a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin bulletproof monk]]. The film was directed by Paul Hunter. It is loosely based on the comic book by Michael Avon Oeming.

* DarkActionGirl: Nina is cruely efficient.

%%%%%%%% Rule of Cool is when something strange/crazy/etc. is accepted by the audience because it is cool. How does the title fit this?
%%%* RuleOfCool:

* LegacyOfTheChosen: The Monk is established to be just the current iteration of a legacy spanning generations passed.

* InterchangeableAsianCultures:
** {{Lampshaded}} by Kar. Who would expect a Chinese theater to be owned and operated by a Japanese man?
** Kar tries to pass off the Monk as a (Chinese) Shaolin to Jade, but she immediately points out that Shaolin have to completely shave their heads. She accurately identifies him as a Tibetan Buddhist (Creator/ChowYunFat is really Chinese). Conversely, the Monk shows familiarity with Sikh tenets to an Indian cab driver, who expresses that he'd almost think the Monk was a Sikh himself but for not having ''enough'' hair (observant Sikh men don't shave or cut their hair).

* DesignatedGirlFight: Jade and Nina's fight with each other but Jade also fights with Kar.

%%* BadassLongcoat: The Monk wears it.

* IceCreamKoan: The riddle of why hot dogs come in packs of 10 and buns in packs of 8. Gar first suggests that it's a way of saying [[DareToBeBadass you need to push yourself]].
-->The reason hot dogs come in packages of ten but hot-dog buns come in packages of just eight is so you’ll ''always'' need ''more'' buns for your hot dogs--because no matter how much you get, how much you achieve, how many times you win… You can never, ever let yourself feel like it’s enough.
** He changes his mind after [[spoiler:becoming the new Monk]], deciding it means that you can't really be happy until you accept what you can't change.
-->You just have to accept that, no matter how hard you try, you can never, ever have everything you want… So be happy with what you’ve got--‘cause you can always have a hot dog.

* RuleOfCool: The title itself should explain what you need to know.
* RunningGag: Kar's pickpocketing.

* AwesomeByAnalysis: Kar taught himself how to fight by watching kung-fu movies and mimicking the moves shown there. The Monk spies on him "training" by doing kata with Bruce Lee footage.
