Actor Allusion | |
| Kung Fu Jungle / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: Donnie Yen's Mo Ha-hou is a retired martial arts professional skilled in Wing Chun and owns a school in Foshan, not unlike Ip Man. Yen's previous movie, Seven Swords, also shows up briefly on a TV screen. No doubt causing a bit of a Celebrity Paradox... | |

Beat Them at Their Own Game | |
| Kung Fu Jungle / int_8a6d2168 | comment |
Beat Them at Their Own Game: The modus operandi of Fung, a disillusioned former martial artist, who seeks to challenge the best kung fu experts and martial arts masters, and then use their own fighting techniques to fight, and brutally murder them. Such as killing Tam, the "Master of Northern Kicks", with kick-based fighting techniques, executing Wong Chit, an expert in pulse pressure, by breaking his pulse points and fighting Hong Yip, a weapons specialist, to the death in a weapons duel where Fung ends up winning. | |

Death by Cameo: Louis Fan, who appears alongside Donnie in Ip Man, as Master Hung Yip, the fourth victim killed by Fung. At least he gets a rather epic fight before his demise. | |
