* GoodIsNotSoft: When the neutralized Shendu swears to have his revenge even if it takes nine additional centuries, Jade coldly uses the Dragon Talisman to finish him off once and for all. No-one is upset about this, except for Uncle, and only because with Shendu gone, a new stronger evil will fill his place in the BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil.

* BetterTheDevilYouKnow: As horrible as Shendu is, Uncle angrily states that the plan was only to stop him, not kill him, because with his death there is a void for a new evil to fill, an evil that could be stronger than Shendu.

* BroughtDownToBadass: Uncle provides a spell that allows the talismans to be removed from Shendu even though he is not a statue. Despite Jackie managing to steal the Ox, Shendu overpowers him.
Added DiffLines:
* TheJuggernaut: Shendu cannot be defeated while he has all the talismans, so Uncle uses a spell that allows Jackie to steal the talismans from the demon's body. Jackie initially appears to win by blasting Shendu with the dragon talisman, but as long as Shendu has the dog and horse talismans, he is immortal and has a HealingFactor. Ergo, physical harm means nothing to him, and he can only be defeated by stealing the rat or tiger talismans to turn him back into a statue.

* MagicMustDefeatMagic: The TropeNamer thanks to Uncle, explaining that a fully powered Shendu cannot be brought down by conventional weaponry.
Added DiffLines:
* ShootingSuperman: Double Subverted. Captain Black and his men attempt to attack Shendu with rocket launchers, but Uncle stops them, pointing out that "MagicMustDefeatMagic." When Jackie steals the dragon talisman from Shendu, he shoots a hole in him. Everyone assumes Shendu is beaten, forgetting that he has the [[HealingFactor Horse Talisman]], so the injury instantly regenerates.
