Katanas Are Just Better | |
| Blood and Bone / int_12a22bd8 | comment |
Katanas Are Just Better: The finale has a Double Subversion. James uses a katana to attack Bone, who easily fends him off with nothing but the scabbard of a jian. However, the katana is apparently so sharp that Bone is able to make James cut his own hand off just by lightly redirecting the blade with the scabbard. | |

Man of Wealth and Taste | |
| Blood and Bone / int_135d58f9 | comment |
Man of Wealth and Taste: Big Bad James tries to put on this front. Deep down, he's just a thug, which is made all the more evident when he claims to not be a drinker, smoker or profanity user. But when his plans fall apart all around him, he suffers a Villainous Breakdown and loses all sense of composure, cursing repeatedly in every scene thereafter and, shortly before this, knocking back some scotch. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| Blood and Bone / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: Ecstatic after Bone decimates another opponent, Pinball declares that he'll take opponents on two at a time. The fighter's manager, upset at the loss and reluctant to pay up, immediately takes Pinball at his word and sends two more of his fighters after Bone. And then three… and then four – you know what? Just send everybody. | |

Sheath Strike: In the climax, James attacks Bone with a sword. One of McVeigh's men tosses a Bone a sword to even things up. Bone opts to to throw aside the sword and fight with the scabbard. Not only does he win but he takes off James's arm. | |

Wicked Cultured | |
| Blood and Bone / int_1c6ded94 | comment |
Wicked Cultured: James thinks he's this, specifically by claiming to be a warrior scholar of Genghis Khan. Becomes a bit of Dramatic Irony as he is describing his philosophy and scholarship to Bone: the movie makes it clear that Bone, and not James, is "The Scourge of God" that Genghis Khan once claimed to be, and that it is James that will take the brunt of that fury. | |

Murder the Hypotenuse: So there's this girl you really like, but she's married to another man and about to have his baby. What do you do? If you're James, you have her husband thrown in prison for a crime he didn't commit, of course! And just to make sure there's nothing standing between you and the prize, arrange to have the husband murdered behind bars, the baby placed in foster care and get the girl hooked on drugs so she'll always be dependent on you. All's fair in love and war, right? | |

| Blood and Bone / int_38bf28e3 | comment |
Engineered Public Confession: Before the final fight, Bone accuses James of having his friend Danny sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit, murdered before his release, taking Danny's wife Angela for himself, and having Bone's fellow boarder Roberto killed. James immediately cops to everything, unaware that Bone is secretly taping his confession on a cell phone. Bone sends the footage to Pinball, who presumably gives it to the police. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle: This is Bone's specialty. The Cowboy didn't stand much of a chance against the Hammerman after hurting his fist on the big man's forehead. Except in the cases of Pretty Boy Price, who managed to get a few good licks in before Bone handed him his ass, and one of Bone's come-up matches against a guy in what looked like a strip club. | |

Delusions of Eloquence | |
| Blood and Bone / int_517f8d71 | comment |
Delusions of Eloquence: James. He tries to come off as Wicked Cultured and Straight Edge Evil with a Foreign Culture Fetish collection of Eastern artifacts and talks of claiming to be a warrior scholar of Genghis Khan. He even claims to hate profanity. In truth, he's nothing but a vicious and sexist lowlife thug with delusions of grandeur trying to present himself as something he's not and the cultured charade disappears when things stop going his way. | |

Invincible Hero | |
| Blood and Bone / int_5300b1de | comment |
Invincible Hero: 'Bone', even more than most of the heroes on that page. The only reason an opponent ever gets in a hit that actually leaves a mark is so he can get patched up by his Sassy Black Woman landlady and give her a Tai Chi lesson. It doesn't matter how many opponents he has, or what weapons they have, he pwns them. At least the other examples lose a fight or at least look like they might at times. Not Bone. The only two fights we see where anyone visibly land hits on Bone are during an indoor match where Bone and his opponent wrestled each other to the floor and Bone earned a scratch on his forehead, and with "Pretty Boy" Price, the best fighter in the world, in the final act. | |

Signature Move: Bone can kick the shit out of people. He prefers a powerful thrust kick (and a leaping roundhouse kick) to finish his opponents. Justified, as Michael Jai White is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do (a kick-heavy martial art) in real life. | |

Faux Affably Evil: James. Under the veneer of cheerful and cultured civility is a brutal crime boss who's a massive Sore Loser and thinks nothing of having a soon-to-be father framed, jailed, and murdered in prison in order to steal his wife. | |

Not So Above It All | |
| Blood and Bone / int_96b89043 | comment |
Not So Above It All: James. He usually raises a hand to Angela or otherwise shows disdain to people who swear in his presence, and also prides himself on not drinking or smoking. However, in the third act of the movie, when his plans start falling apart, he's cursing every third word and swilling down scotch while he's checking to see if his people have tracked down Bone yet. | |

| Blood and Bone / int_a5d92fce | comment |
Celibate Hero: Though he gets the number of a female fighter after winning a match, is bribed with sex by James to fight for him, and shares tender moments with Tamara, Bone is never shown actually having sex with anyone. Even when he shares a bed with Tamara, they notably have all their clothes on. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
| Blood and Bone / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Becomes a bit of Dramatic Irony as he is describing his philosophy and scholarship to Bone: the movie makes it clear that Bone, and not James, is "The Scourge of God" that Genghis Khan once claimed to be, and that it is James that will take the brunt of that fury. | |

Really Gets Around: James thinks this of Bone after he sends Angela to seduce Bone into agreeing to fight Pretty Boy Price, then later finds him in bed with Tamara. Strangely, in the latter case, they are on top of the covers and fully clothed. Maybe he doesn't know how sex works… | |

Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy | |
| Blood and Bone / int_bfaff026 | comment |
Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: "Pretty Boy" Price. Described in-universe as "pound-for-pound, the best fighter in the world", and his entire appearance up until Bone takes over the fight shows as much (trying to get Bone to flinch at a feint, taunting him by giving him a free shot on the chin Roy Jones style). To his credit, he fared better than anyone else who fought against Bone in the entire movie. | |
