Bald of Evil: Chief Xi-Zhao, the Number Two of the Qi Sha clan, is the only entirely bald character in the film and also one of the more ruthless, sadistic villains, killing government soldiers, guards, redshirts, and even unarmed serving maids.

Bad Boss: The Qisha clan's leader is willing to set up his underlings to kill each other for no reason (other than to root out any traitors) and shows no remorse over his subordinates' demise. Late in the film, he had no qualms destroying his own lair to wipe out Imperial agents intending to arrest him, crushing plenty of his own servants in the process.

Better to Die than Be Killed: The last challenger in the opening scene; having witnessed his brothers killed by the Qisha clan, opts to stab himself through the stomach, rather than have the villainous clan kill or take him alive.
