Line 17:
* [[Gender Bender]]: The actress playing Madame Rose is transgendered, although her character is not.
** She was in the original version, but that was edited out of the American release.
* [[Grievous Harm Withwith a Body]]: {{spoiler|Kham [[Improvised Weapon|recovers two elephant bones and uses them as weapons]].}}
** An earlier scene crosses this with [[Dynamic Entry]].
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Madame Rose showing off {{spoiler|the bones of the elephant Por Yai she captured, in a bizarre cross between taxidermy and modern art. A literal [[Elephant in Thethe Living Room]]!}}
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Kham suffers one {{spoiler|on seeing Por Yai's bones.}}
* [[Large Ham]]: Madame Rose.
* [[Now ItsIt's My Turn]]: When Kham is suffering his [[Heroic BSOD]] mentioned above, the mooks go about kicking the crap out of him, although he is too mortified to fight back. When one of the goons gets a knife out and stabs him, he finally snaps back and starts painfully dispatching them.
* [[The Oner]]: A pretty impressive one. The film features a four-minute one-shot elaborate fight sequence that reportedly took eight days to get right in which Tony Jaa fights his way up a building. Up multiple sets of stairs and through rooms, with occasional pans out and back again to show extras landing after being thrown over the railings. The only CGI in the whole sequence is a window breaking, and only because the real prop didn't work right and cheating it in with CGI was cheaper than rebuilding the entire set for another take.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: The entire purpose of the elephants in the movie.
