Line 45:
** How Terry deals with the sister of the guy who couldn't afford to pay him after sending him out a window. Just in case we weren't aware that Terry is ''not'' a nice guy at all.
** The villains of ''Return of the Sister Streetfighter'' love to do this to Shurei and her relatives.
* [[Kill It Withwith Fire]]: In ''The Streetfighter's Last Revenge'', Terry kills Frankie Black by pushing him into an oven and turning on the gas at full power. Not a very dignified way to die, and yet another in a long list of reasons why you don't fuck with Terry Tsurugi.
* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: Appropriately enough, the laser-wielding Frankie Black gets this in the end, but not via his laser weaponry. He and Aya are directed to retrieve the [[MacGuffin]] at Aoidani Mortuary; Mr. Black starts looking for Terry to try to ambush him, to the point where he impatiently attacks the first person he encounters, believing him to be Terry. As Mr. Black realizes that the guy he attacked was a decoy, in comes Terry from [[Behind the Black]], taunting him: "Hey, Black... ''come on.''" The two fight in a deathmatch near a pair of twin retorts, and Terry gains the upper hand, burning Mr. Black to death to seal the deal.
* [[Lighter and Softer]]:
** ''Sister Streetfighter'' is not nearly as over the top violent, and the character is not the complete a-hole Terry Tsurugi was. Doesn't mean the uncut version wasn't rated X for violence like the main series was, though, and even ''The Streetfighter's Last Revenge'' lost less footage for its English-language release than this one did.
** ''The Streetfighter's Last Revenge'' is the most light-hearted of the main trilogy, but like ''Sister Streetfighter'' is still rated X for violence in its uncut version. Here, Terry Sugury ([[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|yes, that's how his name is pronounced in the film]]) is more of a [[James Bond]] type than the ultra-violent mercenary he was in the first two films; however, he's still pretty ultra-violent, though not as much as in earlier films. Perhaps the most violent scene in the film is when [http://youtube.com/watch?v=AewA7ZfMM6k Terry burns Frankie Black].
* [[Master of Disguise]]: In ''The Streetfighter's Last Revenge''. This works as well as you would think it does...
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: The villains of ''Return of the Sister Streetfighter'' cross it by kidnapping Rika (Shurei's daughter) and using her as live bait with which to ensnare Tina Long. Ebikura proves himself even more sadistic when he leaves Kurosaki for dead and tries to take Tina and Rika down in the process, and the [[Big Bad]] crosses it by {{spoiler|killing Shurei, who protected Rika from a trio of bullets he had fired at them}}.
Line 61:
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: {{spoiler|Ratnose}} in the first film. Subverted by {{spoiler|Kurosaki}} in ''Return of the Sister Streetfighter'' {{spoiler|(he was faking the dead in preparation for ambushing the [[Big Bad]], who had killed his father)}}.
* [[Special Effects Failure]]: In ''Return of the Streetfighter'', Terry hits a mook in the back of the head, knocking his eyes out. The effect is shown using a pair of googly eyes. Horrifying the first time, ''hilarious'' everytime after.
* [[Stay in Thethe Kitchen]]: Lee's initial attitude toward Tina. This changes by the time {{spoiler|he dies}}, as he wishes Tina to avenge him for the horrible things the drug smugglers did to him.
* [[Take That]]: Listen carefully when the guards take Terry to visit Junjo in his prison cell at the start of the first film, and you'll notice the English dub contains a snipe at the [[Bruce Lee]] clone phenomenon: "He thinks he's [[Bruce Lee]]."
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Aya in ''The Streetfighter's Last Revenge'':
