* TheOner: A pretty impressive one. The film features a four-minute one-shot elaborate fight sequence that reportedly took eight days to get right in which Tony Jaa fights his way up a building. Up multiple sets of stairs and through rooms, with occasional pans out and back again to show extras landing after being thrown over the railings.

* AncientTradition: The elephants and their herders are bound by one. In ancient warfare, actual war elephants relied on four soldiers to guard their legs in battle.
* BattleAmongstTheFlames: Kham battles a Capoeirista and a Wushu guy in a burning temple.
* DanceBattler: Lateef Crowder, a real life famous Capoeira practitioner.
** Also a OneSceneWonder. Even though his fight scene was cut short due to an on-set injury, it is still one of the highlights of the movie.
* DragonLady: Madame Rose.
* DynamicEntry: [[http://i41.tinypic.com/2uj3413.gif Oh hell yes.]]
* ExoticEntree: The point of the titular restaurant.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: [[spoiler:Kham [[ImprovisedWeapon recovers two elephant bones and uses them as weapons]].]]
** An earlier scene crosses this with DynamicEntry.
* KickTheDog: Madame Rose showing off [[spoiler:the bones of the elephant Por Yai she captured, in a bizarre cross between taxidermy and modern art. A literal ElephantInTheLivingRoom!]]
* HeroicBSOD: Kham suffers one [[spoiler:on seeing Por Yai's bones.]]
* LargeHam: Madame Rose.
* NowItsMyTurn: When Kham is suffering his HeroicBSOD mentioned above, the mooks go about kicking the crap out of him, although he is too mortified to fight back. When one of the goons gets a knife out and stabs him, he finally snaps back and starts painfully dispatching them.
* TheOner: A pretty impressive one. The film features a four-minute one-shot elaborate fight sequence that reportedly took eight days to get right in which Tony Jaa fights his way up a building. Up multiple sets of stairs and through rooms, with occasional pans out and back again to show extras landing after being thrown over the railings. The only CGI in the whole sequence is a window breaking, and only because the real prop didn't work right and cheating it in with CGI was cheaper than rebuilding the entire set for another take.
* PetTheDog: The entire purpose of the elephants in the movie.
* PunchPunchPunchUhOh: When Kham first encounters the wrestler in the temple, his punches and kicks just make the guy growl louder.
* ProductionPosse: Not just Tony Jaa and the director, but Humlae and his sister from OngBak also appear.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: The entire final sequence, where Kham destroys ''everyone.''
* TheHeavy: Nathan Jones as "huge scary guy."
* Transsexual: Madame Rose in the original version.
* WhipItGood: Madame Rose.
