* AssholeVictim: Chairman Ma is shown having sex with a woman, whom he then smacks when he's done. Then he drinks half a ottle of booze. Not the biggest loss for the world.
* Awkward Ability: Bo saving Holly from the three men at the noodle bar. At first he tries not to intervene to aviud suspicion, but when Holly is being choked, he can't hold back any longer.
* BigEater: Bo is introduced eating enough for at least three people, then orders five bowls of noodles when he reaches the island. It becomes a running gag.
* CatUpATree: How Bo meets Holly.
* ClosedCircle: Due to a typhoon coming in, Bo is stuck on the tiny island.
* CombatPragmatist: This is always one of Wu Jing's staples, sttacking joints, manipulating fingers, and generally doing that he has to do to win. Holly also has shades of this, in order to compensate for the fact she's roughly half the size of her enemies.
* CoveredInScars: As revealed in his shower scene, Bo.
* FairCop: Holly. The tendency for female cops to be pretty in fiction is lampshaded.
* HopelessSuitor: Tarzan to Holly.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Tarzan's SmallNameBigEgo attributes are implied to be because of an inferiority complex he has.
* MeetCute: Bruce cathes Holly after she falls from a tree trying to get her cat.
* MurderousThighs: More like Murderous Ankles, Bo kills Ma by snapping his neck with his ankles.
* OffWithHisHead: Bo decapitates Chairman Ma in order to deliver his head to someone, presumably whoever hired him to kill him. [[spoiler: Turns out, Bo is doing it for himself, and brings the head to the grave of a woman that Ma killed.]]
* ProperlyParanoid: Tarzan was actually correct about Bo being trouble, given the man is, well, a legendary assassin. Of course, his paranoia doesn't stem from any logical reason, he just really doesn't like Bo.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Tarzan. No one is fooled by his act, either.
* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: Holly demanding to see the smuggler's ID in English. Not terribly surprising, given that Holly's actress is clearly of mixed race, but still jarring nonetheless.
