!!Shaolin Avengers contains examples of:

* ActionMom: The Fang brothers' mom, Miao Tsui-fa, is a capable fighter and trainer of the brothers in fighting.
* AlternateContinuity: The movie appears to take place in the same universe as ''Film/DisciplesOfShaolin'' (also starring Alexander Fu and Chi Kuan-chun) released just a year earlier, reprising their roles from that other film. However the origins of the Shaolin sect is different, and Fu Sheng's character, Fang Shi-yu, is now depicted as having an elder brother which is absent in all other versions.
* BashBrothers: The Fang brothers, Fang Shi-yu and Fang Hsiao-yu, who banters about during their training and in-between their fights.
* CanonForeigner: Fang Shi-Yu's older brother, Fang Hsiao-yu, as portrayed by Bruce Tong, who was made solely for this film. The (alleged) real life martial artist Fang Shi-Yu doesn't have any siblings, and Fang Hsiao-yu doesn't show up anywhere outside of this film.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The flashback of the Fangs' father, being betrayed and killed by the Wu Dang, are in black-and-white.
* EverybodyWasKungFuFighting: Every main character is a fighter and a kung-fu expert, befitting the film being one of Chang Cheh's many Shaolin-themed movies.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: The Fang brothers both prefer to fight with their bare hands, even if there are weapons available. Unfortunately this trope ends up being proven to be impractical -- while Fang Hsiao-yu beats up numerous sword-wielding mooks with his bare hands, one random mook ends up running his sword into Hsiao-yu's side (why he never considered picking up a weapon from a beaten enemy is never addressed).
* HowWeGotHere: Right at the start of the film, the Fang brothers and their friend, Hong Hui-Gan, are surrounded by hordes and hordes of Wu Tang mooks led by Feng Dao-De, which they proceed to beat up. A few minutes into their fighting, the film then flashes back to what happened a year ago, how the brothers lose their father, and undertook a lengthy training session to avenge him.
* LodgedBladeRecycling: After Fang Hsiao-yu gets sliced too many times, with a single sword shoved through his guts, he finally, finally pulled the sword out of his midsection and use it to slice up mooks.
* MadeOfIron: Fang Hsiao-yu, despite suffering multiple stabs and cuts, and ''a freaking sword through his torso''. His response? Pull out that sword and start hacking away at mooks.
* RedFilterOfDoom: Used when Fang Shi-yu kills an elite Wu Tang fighter, with the entire screen tinted red as the rival fighter collapses and writhes in his death throes.
* SimpleStaff: Hong Hui-Guan, the Shaolin ally of the brothers, use a staff as his weapon.
* TrainingMontage: The Fang brothers trains themselves to improve their fighting skills and to avenge their father. And later, them training their followers.
* VowOfCelibacy: Taken by the Fang brothers, after swearing vengeance against the Wu Dang, where they must '''never''' engage in any acts of sex until their father's death is avenged. Because, according to their mother and tutor, "sex is too much of a distraction"...
* YouKilledMyFather: The Fang brothers swears vengeance to Master Lu Yin-Bu for leading the Wu Dang clan and killing their father.
