Big Badass Battle Sequence | |
| Fourteen Amazons / int_37b5c1b0 | comment |
Big Badass Battle Sequence: The movie climaxes with one of these, as the Yang family finally made it to the Mongols' fortress, and takes on the Mongol Warlords in a massive large-scale battle with plenty of extras being killed en masse. Here's a screencap◊ of both armies facing off before shit gets real. | |

Big Dam Plot | |
| Fourteen Amazons / int_45262f16 | comment |
Big Dam Plot: Partway through the film, the Yang family receives news of a whole platoon of Mongol reinforcements returning to the fortress. They won't stand a chance against an increase in such numbers of enemy soldiers, but luckily the Mongols would need to cross a narrow gorge with a dam to reach their destination. A big part of the middle act is then dedicated to the Yang army trying to formulate a plan to destroy the damn and wipe out the Mongols before they can return to the fort. | |

Amazon Brigade | |
| Fourteen Amazons / int_d9d2c40b | comment |
Amazon Brigade: It's right there on the film's title. Besides the 14 wives, mothers and sisters of the Yang family, there are also numerous female warriors and sergeants commanding the Yang family troops, who can take names as easily as the men. | |
