 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Jade Tiger is a 1977 wuxia film directed by Chor Yuen, released by Shaw Brothers, boasting several of the studios' leading stars in key roles, including Ti Lung, Yueh Hua, Lo Lieh, Shih Szu, Derek Yee, 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.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: Of all the wuxias 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.

 Blood from the Mouth: 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.

 Attempted Rape: Subverted. 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.
