* BloodFromTheMouth: More than one poisoned victim ends up puking blood in this film. And occasionally in fight scenes, enemies whacked by Zhao Wuji's staff will cough up blood, too, confirming that despite using a blunt weapon, Zhao Wuji is ''still'' a capable killing machine.

''Jade Tiger'' is a 1977 ''wuxia'' film directed by Chor Yuen, released by Creator/ShawBrothers, boasting several of the studios' leading stars in key roles, including Creator/TiLung, Creator/YuehHua, Creator/LoLieh, Creator/ShihSzu, Creator/DerekYee, Norman Chu, and several others.
Ti Lung plays Zhao Wuji, a swordsman who, on his wedding day, caught the news of his father-in-law's assassination. Cancelling the wedding to investigate, Zhao ends up in a conspiracy between two warring clans, the Tang Family Sect led by Master Tang Ao (Yueh Hua) and the Zhao Clan, with the rules of clan successorship being inscribed in a scroll written by Zhao Wuji's father, hidden in a Jade Tiger.
Notably one of the more complicated, talky wuxia films, with more emphasis on drama and conspiracies rather than direct action. But on the other hand, there's a dude with ''exploding eyeballs''.
----
!!Jade Tiger contains examples of:
* ActionFilmQuietDramaScene: Of all the ''wuxia''s made by Chor Yuen, this is one of the more drama-orientated ones (and that's saying a lot!), with plenty of dialogue and talky scenes between all that fighting.
* AttemptedRape: Subverted. [[spoiler: Zhong, the servant of the Zhao family, appears to be a lecher who tries to rape his paralyzed mistress, Qian-qian, before he gets interrupted. But in actuality, he's releasing the pressure point that is holding her in place so that she can escape]].
* BlindWeaponmaster: Master Lu, the blind leader of the beggar clan.
* CoolHat: Zhao Wuji's wide-brimmed straw hat that he wears in most of his fights.
* CoordinatedClothes: The Tang siblings, TAng Ao and Tang Yu (Yueh Hua and Shih Szu) are always clad in identical white robes when appearing together onscreen.
* EnsembleCast: The entire film is filled with the Shaws' leading stars at the time, and they all have key roles in the film.
* EyeScream: One that happens off-screen, though; audiences never see what happened to Master Liu prior to the film, but when he appears the first time, his eyes are completely missing, save for two black sockets.
* FakeDefector: Zhong, the servant of the Zhao family, appears to have betrayed his clan, but is secretly waiting for a chance to hep his mistress escape, even at the cost of his life. Too bad his masters are in the blind about his allegiance...
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Master Lu's choice of flung projectiles, are his own glass eyeballs, which can ''explode'' upon hitting it's target. Yes, this movie has exploding eyeball projectiles.
* InASingleBound: This being a ''wuxia'', expect plenty of characters defying gravity just by jumping.
* InTheBack: [[spoiler: Zhong gets skewered through the back by his own mistress, Qian-qian, who had mistook him to be a traitor, after she was freed from being paralyzed. She only realized Zhong was only ''pretending'' to be a traitor after landing the killing blow]]. Oops.
* NeverTrustATitle: You might be misled by the title that the Jade Tiger is an important artifact of sorts, or some kind of plot-related MacGuffin. Natch, it's the ''scroll'' in the tiger that is important, that Zhao Wuji must get his hands on. The tiger gets smashed after showing up for a few seconds and is never mentioned for the rest of the movie.
* PoisonedWeapons: The Tang clan specializes in these, including poisoned darts, blades, projectiles, and even [[SlippingAMickey handy vials of liquid then can esily slip in their target's meals]].
* PressurePoint: Qian-qian gets paralyzed and captured alive by Tang Chueh in this manner, having her nerve points poked which causes paralysis. [[spoiler: She gets freed by Zhong, the loyal servant of the Zhao family who pretends to be working for the Tang Clan]].
* SelfImmolation: The Challenger played by Derek Yee who, upon being defeated by Zhao Wuji, activates his inner chi which sets himself on fire, in a BetterToDieThanBeKilled moment.
* SimpleStaff: Zhao Wuji's favoured weapon, his metal staff whose tip is fashioned in a silver dragon head. He gets to kick loads of ass using this weapon, too.
* SwordFight: Plenty, mostly from Tang Ao and Tang Chueh.
* WeddingSmashers: Zhao Wuji's father-in-law is murdered on the night of his wedding, forcing the ceremony to be cancelled as he embarks on a bitter quest to seek the killers responsible.
* WeHArdlyKnewYe:
** Subverted with Dugu Sheng, the martial artists played by Norman Chu, who battles Zhao Wuji in the ActionPrologue pre-opening titles. Despite his claims that the battle will be to the death, after being defeated by Zhao Wuji, Dugu Sheng is instead given a second chance to bail, at which point he leaves the film. Cue titles.
** Played straight with the Challenger, played by Derek Yee. He have a few minutes of screentime and an epic battle with Zhao Wuji... and dies after setting himself on fire in the aftermath of losing a duel, before the first act is over.
