Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} [[File:warriors_of_virtue.jpg\|frame]] Line 17: * [[All Your Powers Combined]]: {{spoiler\|It's how they defeat Komodo for good.}} * [[Avoid the Dreaded G Rating]]: "Shit happens." * [[Black Best Friend]]: HeChucky tells Ryan how important he is and what he should do and he gets left behind in the Real World. * [[Blank Book]]: Ryan is asked by Komodo to read from the magical Manuscript and tell him what it says. The Manuscript suddenly shows blank pages, to which the protagonist says "Shit happens." * [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: The Polish version was entitled "Wirtualni wojownicy" - "Virtual warriors". Apparently the translator didn't know what 'virtue' was. * [[Boxing Kangaroo]]: All of the warriors count as this, though they fight with martial arts instead of boxing. * [[Boxing Kangaroo]] * [[Camp Straight]]: Komodo. Dude's frilly and effeminate, but he very clearly has gotten with several of the hot women in this movie anyway. * [[Color-Coded for Your Convenience]]: The Warriors wear colors that reflect their natural powers. Elysia also wears purple as a hint of her [[Redemption Equals Death]] arch as purple is a combination of the stereotypical colors of good and bad, which are blue and red respectfully. * [[Did Not Do the Research]]: The word is pronounced [~~http://en.~~[wikipedia~~.org/wiki/~~:Tao \|Dao]], not Tao like it's spelled. You might think Tao is just coincidentally the name of the world, but the waiter is clearly using it to refer to the real concept and still says it wrong. * [[Elemental Powers]] [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: Tsun, Warrior of Earth. Line 28 ⟶ 29: [[Green Thumb]]: Lai, Warrior of Wood. [[Making a Splash]]: Yun, Warrior of Water. [[Playing ~~With~~with Fire]]: Chi, Warrior of Fire. * [[Evil Is Hammy]]: Like you wouldn't believe. * [[Excessive Evil Eyeshadow]]: Komodo. Line 47 ⟶ 48: * [[Laughably Evil]]: Hey look, another Komodo trope! BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA! * [[Laughing Mad]]: Kind of a subversion, because Komodo's laughing doesn't tell he goes insane...it tells that he IS insane. Seriously, you can never predict when he bursts to maniacal laughter. * [[Madonna -Whore Complex]]: "Good" Elysia wears a white, high-necked dress. {{spoiler\|Evil Elysia wears a red (later purple) dress that shows cleavage.}} * [[Magical Asian]]: Ming. We never find out why an ordinary cook has a manuscript about a magical universe, but it can be assumed that he may have been to Tao before. Also, Master Chung. * [[Martial Arts and Crafts]]: Ming's cooking. Why is Ryan the main character again? * [[Moral Dissonance]]: At the end of the movie, Ryan demonstrates his newfound virtue by {{spoiler\|leaving Brad stranded at the Treatment plant behind a torrent of water, leading the rest of Brad's 'friends' away while they mock the terrified jock. Uh...?}} ** Just so we're all clear on the above point, {{spoiler\|the Warriors forgave Komodo, the insane, self-obsessed warlord, and offered him a place in their community even though he tried to kill them all and callously destroyed their ecosystem. Whereas a mere jerky football player is unworthy of your sympathy.}} * [[No Indoor Voice]]: Take a wild guess... * [[Personality Powers]]: Most obvious with [[Playing ~~With~~with Fire\|Chi]], but all of the Roos show this. * [[Redemption Equals Death]]: {{spoiler\|A possible interpretation of Elysia's ultimate fate as she is eventually backstabbed by Barnbarocious...literally.}} * [[Shout -Out]]: "[[The Warriors (~~Film~~film)\|Warriors!]] Come out and plaaaay!" ** Ming is [[Iron Chef\|a show-offy Asian chef]] * [[The Speechless]]: Yee was so traumatized by the loss of his Lifespring that he stopped speaking, instead communicating with others through sign language. {{spoiler\|After Ryan's Heroic Sacrifice, he manages a hoarse "Thank you".}} Line 71 ⟶ 72: === The book sequels also contain examples of: === * [[Ascended Extra]]: The overarching plot is that Ryan is summoned back to Tao along with four of his friends so that each can accompany one of the Roos back to the Lifespring where they were born and fix the problems arising there. These friends were minor characters in the original movie (and Brad was included, so the definition of 'friend' was rather loose...). Unfortunately, Ming was not one of them. * [[Bratty Half -Pint]]: Chi admits to being one in "Chi and the Giant", as well as a former [[The Prankster\|Prankster]] who used trickery to get back at the others teasing him for being the youngest. * [[Cat Scare]]: "Lai and the Headhunters". * [[Heel Face Turn]]: Brad, who winds up accompanying Yee for the biggest [[Odd Couple]] pairing of the books and develops from [[Jerkass]] to [[Jerk ~~With~~with a Heart of Gold]]. * [[Moral Dissonance]]: In "Yun and the Sea Serpent", Yun deals with the beast by {{spoiler\|sewing its mouth shut, while it's awake, aware and ''thrashing in agony''. True, he says that he leaves enough slack for it to eat plankton, and it was to correct the serpent's [[I'm a Humanitarian\|original dietary habits]], but ''still''...}} * [[Swarm of Rats]]: Happens several times in "Tsun and the Rats". Line 81 ⟶ 82: {{reflist}} [[Category:Films of the 1990s]] [[Category:Warriors Ofof Virtue]] [[Category:~~Trope~~Film]] [[Category:Fantasy Literature]] [[Category:Multiple Works Need Separate Pages]]
