Shaolin Soccer: Difference between revisions

* [[Dragons Up the Yin-Yang]]: Mui traces a ''taijitu'' while making buns. This serves to set her apart as a [[Useful Notes/Taoism|Taoist]] Tai Chi practitioner, as opposed to the [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] Shaolin monks. She also speaks Mandarin. The whole thing is to pay tribute to all of China's religious and martial-arts traditions.

* [[Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting]]: Sing constantly points out a few people that would have less trouble with their lives if they just knew shaolin kung fu. {{spoiler|After defeating Team Evil, Sing and Mui were last seen walking amongst a crowd now [[Mundane Utility|using kung fu to solve mundane problems]]. In the English dub, the song that plays in the background is a cover of "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas}}.

* [[Excuse Me While I Multitask]]: When Mui fends off her angry boss.

* [[Extremity Extremist]]: The premise of Mighty Steel Leg and Hooking Leg's styles.

* [[Face Palm]]: {{spoiler|When Mui first takes the field... only to wind up on Team Evil's goal position.}}

* [[Failed Attempt At Drama]]: {{spoiler|Mui as the new goalie makes a dramatic entrance and walks into the goal post... of Team Evil.}}

* [[Hard Head]] - "Iron Head", eldest of the Shaolin monks, gifted with a seemingly impervious cranium. His abusive boss repeatedly breaks bottles over his head to chastise his poor performance, with no effect.

* [[Heads-Tails-Edge]]: One of the ex-monks states that their chances of winning the soccer tournament are the same as the coin landing on its side. A little later he drops it. [[Tempting Fate|Guess where it lands.]]
