Dragon Tiger Gate is a 2006 martial arts action film starring Donnie Yen and Nicholas Tse. It is based on the manhua Oriental Heroes.It is the story primarily of two half-brothers, Dragon and Tiger, separated at a young age. The younger Tiger was raised at the titular dojo, whereas Dragon was adopted by a mob boss after his mother's death. Years later, the two of them come into conflict by chance. A third warrior, Turbo Shek, eventually joins the fight as well and they eventually band together to take on Shibumi and the Luocha Gang. | |

Bad Boss: Shibumi fatally wounds Luocha, presumably for failing to keep Dragon from interfering with the assassination of Ma Kun. As an added bit of cruelty, he gives her a medicine that can heal most any wound... and forces her to give it to the man whom she loves | |

Sadistic Choice: Shibumi gives Luocha a medicine that can heal any wound, and tells her to give it to the man she loves... and then fatally wounds her as well, so she has to choose between healing Dragon, or herself. Of course, she chooses Dragon. | |

Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy | |
| Dragon Tiger Gate / int_bfaff026 | comment |
Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Pretty much everyone to some degree. Turbo Shek seems to play it straightest, but is eventually subverted by the fact that his arrogance is largely faked because he was tired of being bullied. Dragon is a much quieter example, more of a "Confident" Kung Fu Guy rather than "Arrogant" Shibumi plays it very straight. | |
