 Chekhov's Gun: It doesn't take a genius to figure out what's going to happen when the film stops to note that 1) Tiger keeps a gorilla, and 2) the gorilla remembers and hates Madame de Sylva, who used to mistreat it back in the day.

 Dragon Lady: Madame de Sylva is a perfect example: sexy, mysterious, dresses in a Qipao, Really Gets Around. Her servant warns Tiger about her and Bobby: "White boy like sheep with tiger!"

 Great White Hunter: Great White Animal Trapper. The first scene shows Tiger and his crew capturing a tiger by climbing up into the trees and dropping a net on a tiger as it enters a clearing.

 Betty and Veronica: Toyo is the Betty—innocent, sweet, cheerful almost to the point of Genki Girl. Her mother Madame de Sylva is mysterious and alluring and sexually adventurous and a little bit evil.
