Traditional
Primary
The film's central subject matter, a slapstick comedy involving family loyalty and personal revenge against a corrupt individual, is largely apolitical. The narrative focuses on entertainment and individual actions rather than promoting a specific ideological viewpoint.
This Hong Kong comedy features casting that is traditional for its cultural origin, primarily utilizing East Asian actors. The narrative focuses on comedic situations and does not engage with themes of diversity, equity, or inclusion, nor does it critique traditional identities.
Secondary
Tricky Brains incorporates cross-dressing and gags related to perceived homosexuality primarily for comedic effect. These depictions often rely on stereotypes and present non-normative identities as a source of ridicule or discomfort, contributing to a net negative portrayal without affirming LGBTQ+ lives or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Tricky Brains (1991) is an original film with no prior source material, historical figures, or legacy characters. All characters were created specifically for this movie, meaning there is no pre-existing canon from which a character's gender could have been swapped.
