!! Crippled Avengers contains examples of:
* TheBlacksmith: The town's resident weaponmaster, Wei Da-ti.
* BlindWeaponmaster: Hu Ah-kuei after losing his sight from having his eyes gored out by Tao Sheng.
* DieLaughing: [[spoiler: Wang Yi in the finale]].
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The four heroes are warriors ''crippled'' by the villains and are out to ''avenge'' their defeats.
* EyeScream: Courtesy of Tao Sheng's gauntlet. Complete with a gory close-up of both fingers into the victim's eyes.
* MatchCut: A shot of Keeper Wan gloating is cut to a pattern on an antique chair which suspiciously resembles a smiling face.
* HandicappedBadass: The entire movie is built revolving this trope. There are fighters without arms, blind warriors, deaf warriors, mute warriors, mentally handicapped warriors... just name it.
* MartialArtsHeadband: Worn by all the Crippled Avengers after they completed their training.
* PowerFist: After Tao Sheng lose his arms as a child, his father Tao Tien-tu immediately had iron gauntlets with razor-sharp fingers built for his son, allowing Tao Sheng to learn a higher level of deadly fist-to-fist kung fu.
* SkunkStripe: A strip of silver hair on the BigBad, Tao Tien-tu.
* SuperHearing: Hu Ah-kuei gains the ability of hearing even pins dropping on the floor as part of his training to compensate for his blindness.
* TrainingMontage: Wang Yi, Hu Ah-kuei and Chen Shuen all undergoes a training sequence after becoming handicapped in order to improve their skills and defeat Master Tao and his son.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Hu Ah-Kue in most of his training scenes.
* WorthyOpponent: Master Tao finds all four Crippled Avengers, after they've completed their training and returning for a rematch, to be this. But that doesn't mean he will go easy on them in the final battle.
