--->'''Jade Fox:''' You deserve to die, but the life I was hoping to take was Jen's. Ten years I devoted to you, but you deceived me! You hid the manual's true meaning. I never improved but your progress was limitless. You know what poison is? An eight year-old girl full of deceit. That's poison!

* AmbiguousEnding: In the final scene of the film, [[spoiler:Jen leaps off of a bridge at the top of Wudang Mountain]], recalling a legend about [[spoiler:a man who jumped off of a mountain to make his deepest wish come true--and because the man had a pure heart, he survived]]. It's left deliberately ambiguous whether the legend is true, and whether [[spoiler:Jen lives or dies]]: the screen fades out as [[spoiler:she's falling through the air]].



* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's never one hundred percent clear whether the Green Destiny is a truly mystical weapon which made Jen extremely powerful or if Jen was simply just that good to begin with and the sword only acted as a placebo effect to increase her confidence and enhance her already-prodigious skills.

** It's left intentionally ambiguous whether the legend about the man leaping off of a mountain--and surviving due to his pure heart--is actually true. When Jen [[spoiler:leaps off of the bridge]] in the final scene, it's strongly implied that [[spoiler:she's [[DrivenToSuicide chosen to commit suicide]] to atone for her many mistakes]]...but considering how many [[MagicalRealism ambiguously supernatural]] things happen in the film, you have to wonder.

deleted Bare Your Midriff entry since that page is now a disambiguiation page and the listed entry doesn't really fit in any of the tropes in that page.


* BareYourMidriff: Jen briefly changes into an outfit that does this after her first bathing scene in the flashback sequence. It's not immediately apparent in the film, but appears in promotional material such as [[https://i.imgur.com/kVM1ZsH.jpg this movie poster]] and [[https://i.imgur.com/Z8QUBcO.png this movie poster]].
