Blade on a Stick: Wei Jin-Bao uses a short spear as his weapon against sword-wielding bandits, and takes plenty of names during his screentime. His spear is notably a bit thinner than most Shaw examples, though.

Badass Crew: The five can take down plenty of faceless mooks despite being outnumbered during fight scenes.

Bodyguarding a Badass: General Tsai may be the Big Good who needs to be guarded, but he's no slouch at fighting either. He's played by another Shaw kung-fu veteran, Wang Wai, after all.
