"Well Done, Son" Guy
 Two Brothers / int_1779f10e
comment
"Well Done, Son!" Guy: His Excellency is often compared to his father, who was a great man of his time and had many qualities. The son, however, didn't seem to inherit any of those qualities and he is quite upset about that.

Ancient Tomb

Ancient Tomb: More temple than tomb, actually, and more realistic than the average horror series setting, without any booby traps and undead.

comment
Androcles' Lion: Or tiger, as the case may be. Actually, the two tigers become an Androcles' Lion for each other when they are forced to fight each other, and after a minute or so of serious fighting they realize they are siblings. They then change to play fighting instead.

Shoot the Dog

comment
Shoot the Dog: McRory kills the father of Kumal and Sangha after he attacks and fatally wounds one of his men, who in turn was about to shoot one of the cubs. McRory later goes hunting for Kumal and Sangha because he believes that having been raised by humans will turn them into man-eaters after they escape to the wild.

Great White Hunter

Great White Hunter: Aidan McRory plays this straight in how he portrays himself in his books, but his actual character is closer to a deconstruction of the trope.

Because You Were Nice to Me
 Two Brothers / int_738d1a0f
comment
Because You Were Nice to Me: Sangha doesn't hurt the boy Raoul because the two of them had a happy childhood together and Kumal spared Aidan when the latter was pointing a gun at Sangha, giving him ample time to put the gun down. All because Aidan used to give Kumal lemon drop sweets when he was a cub.

Pet Baby Wild Animal: Sangha to Raoul and Kumal to McRory. Unlike many examples, they explicitly mention the fact that if the tigers go back into the wild, they will not be able to hunt for themselves, and may even end up preying on humans.

Tropey, Come Home

comment
Tropey, Come Home: Both played straight and inverted, depending on your point of view. From the point of view of Raoul and McRory, they let their tigers go instead of getting them back. From the point of view of the tigers' mother, she gets her offspring back.

Hate Sink
 Two Brothers / int_e5fd8bc2
comment
Hate Sink: Almost all the human characters that mean the tigers harm in the movie, but mainly Zerbino the circus ringmaster, and his fire-eater, Saladin, who are cruel and abusive to Kumal when the latter becomes part of the circus. The only positive thing they do in the film is teach Kumal how to jump through the ring of fire, which would later help Kumal and Sangha to escape the hunters at the end.
