* CarryABigStick: A strange example with Liang using a golden club... modelled after a nude woman. Like an Oscar bust, but weaponized.

* OffWithHisHead: The movie ends with the main villain's head being ''kicked'' clean off his shoulders. Said villain is hanging from the ceiling by the legs, so when his head goes off it predictably comes with a waterfall of blood.
