* [[Aliens Speaking English|Asians Speaking English]]/[[Translation Convention]]
* [[Badass Family]]: The Caines, naturally.
* [[By-The-Book Cop]]: In the first season of ''The Legend Continues'', Peter often disapproved of his father's interference in police investigations. By the time he himself [[Took a Level Inin Badass|re-learned his own childhood martial arts training]], he began to value Caine's assistance more.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Grasshopper" among others.
* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]: One of the only times Caine wears footwear is to attend a wedding.
Line 41:
* [[Levitating Lotus Position]]: Kwai Chang Caine did this sometimes while meditating in ''The Legend Continues''.
* [[Magical Asian]]: Masters Po and Kan to Caine and Caine himself to most white people he meets.
* [[The Magnificent Seven Samurai]]: ''The Legend Continues'' had an episode called "Dragonswing", where Caine and Peter assemble a team of Shao Lin alumni to help a friend rescue his girlfriend from the thugs who've taken over his Northwestern town. Robert Vaughn guest-starred as Rykker, a mercenary very similar to his ''Magnificent Seven'' character.
* [[The Man They Couldn't Hang]]: In "The Nature of Evil".
* [[Martial Pacifist]]: Caine never wants trouble, but woe be anyone who forces him to fight.
* [[Punishment Box]]: Caine finds himself in a two-man Box, and teaches the other man in the box to meditate so as to avoid the torturous aspects of being in the box. The guards & other prisoners are amazed that they're able to leave under their own power instead of being carried out.
* [[Stern Chase]]
* [[Strictly Formula]]: In each episode Caine basically goes to a town, townspeople don't like him, finds open-minded ally, finds enemy, must fight, makes monk-ly decision concerning friend and enemy, flashback to the power of five, win fight, credits roll.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: In one of the early episodes of ''The Legend Continues'', Peter's in a bind against the [[Villain of the Week]], who's beating the crap out of him like nobody's business. Then he instinctively taps into his forgotten kung fu skills via [[Groin Attack]]. The next season would focus on him gradually re-learning everything he'd been taught as a child.
* [[Walking the Earth]]: [[Trope Namer]]; well, [[Pulp Fiction|indirectly]].
* [[Warrior Poet]]
