Framing Device
 Ten Tigers From Kwangtung / int_1e1afc1b
comment
Framing Device: Most of the movie is told in flashback, years later, as General Liang's brother and son team up to get revenge on the Tigers' disciples. The movie opens with these guys, then flashes back to the story of the Tigers' struggle against Liang, then moves back to the second generation to wrap up the story about his brother, which can make it a little disorienting for people who aren't familiar with the story.

Bare-Handed Blade Block: General Liang gets his sword halted by a blade block before getting snapped. He then responds after losing his sword by using his secondary weapon, a golden club... shaped like a nude woman.

Foregone Conclusion
 Ten Tigers From Kwangtung / int_3bc88a7f
comment
Foregone Conclusion: The Framing Device's villains are talking about getting revenge on the Tigers for killing General Liang, so when the movie flashes back to the formation of the Tigers, we already know that Liang is going to die.

Carry a Big Stick: A strange example with Liang using a golden club... modelled after a nude woman. Like an Oscar bust, but weaponized.

Off with His Head!

comment
Off with His Head!: The movie ends with the main villain's head being kicked clean off his shoulders. Said villain is hanging from the ceiling by the legs, so when his head goes off it predictably comes with a waterfall of blood.

Let's You and Him Fight: The Tigers are initially split into two rival crews, one lead by Li Jien Chao and the other by Iron Finger Chung, who don't really like each other. General Liang's agents are able to escalate this into a full-blown feud to keep Li Jien Chao occupied. However, when the other crew realize they've been lied to, they team up with Li Jien Chao to defeat Liang and his men.
