She's strong enough to crack the top of a funeral bell and hold it to ''use it as a megaphone''. Her actress, Yuen Qiu, really does have martial art skills, shown in her small role in ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun''.

* ContrivedCoincidence: There's a lot of this, usually chalked up to [[BecauseDestinySaysSo fate]]. The ice cream girl Sing decides to rob just so happens to be the girl he tried to save when he was a boy.boy, for example, and Pig Sty Alley happens to be the home of a absurd number of kung fu fighers for completely unrelated reasons. The entire plot is even set off by a Axe Gang lieutenant ''happening'' to be passing by when Sing blind-throws a little bomb that turns out to land on his head.
* DecoyProtagonist: The Three Masters (Coolie, Tailor and Donut) save Pigsty Village and are essentially the lead heroic characters of the first third of the film...until the Harpists show up [[spoiler: and kill all three of them in short order]].
** The Landlord's casual tanking of a unholy amount of punishment foreshadows him being able to casually absorb and redirect attacks by the Musicians.

* PinballProtagonist: Sing is in the periphery in most of the plot after happening to cause the chain of events that leads the Axe Gang and Pigsty Alley to conflict. The Three Masters are essentially the heroic leads for the first act, the Landlord and Landlady for the second act and Sing only seizes the lead role in the last act.
Added DiffLines:
* SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers: Sing's arc (and thus the arc of the film as a whole in a way) is learning that his profoundly cynic worldview where one must be a thug to thrive is wholly wrong and the childhood idealism he dismissed (namely the Buddhist Palm) is very much real. It's empathized by the fact Sing is a [[MinionWithAnFInEvil absolutely godawful cynic thug]] but turns out to be unstoppable as a wise martial arts master.

[[spoiler:The beggar that sold Sing his kung fu manual also shows back up trying to peddle even more manuals to another kid]].
