Bumbling Dad: Danny loves his son, but has trouble balancing his commitments between his job and being a parent.Bland-Name Product: Danny promises to take his son to "Magic Land" where they can ride "Mount Splash".Then there's the fact that in-between assassinations, he's been going around challenging and brutally beating other gung fu practitioners. When Danny asks him what the terms of the third round of their beimo are, he lightly scoffs at the idea of their fight even lasting that long. He's completely secure in his fighting prowess, having no problems showing off his physical prowess to the Tigers in order to intimidate them. Zhen Fan is a darker yet more affable version of this.Them seeking out fights for glory and money ultimately was what lead to the group fracturing, as Sifu Cheung voiced his displeasure to Danny about how they were misusing his teachings. Danny in particular seemed to get his kicks from regularly humiliating Carter in beimo, at times even going a bit overboard with his hits. The Tigers themselves were this in their teen years, which is why Carter carries such a grudge against them in the present.After Hing is nearly killed by the Fourth Disciple and Danny and Jim decide to confront him, Carter drops the smugness. He gives Koans in gratuitous Chinese, identifies as Chinese when it suits him, gives overly elaborate opening stances, and takes obscene pleasure in humiliating the Tigers. Unlike the Tigers, Carter had continued to train in gung fu, officially teaching in Master Wong's school, and has a chip on his shoulder for the many times they defeated him. While most of the gung fu fighters have a bit of this in them, special mention goes to Carter.Ambiguous Situation: Zhen Fan never reveals the specific reason why he killed Sifu Cheung.When they finally fight, he's even willing to give the win of the first round to Danny for drawing some blood from him.
