The film's primary objective is comedic parody of martial arts films, and its themes of personal redemption and combating crime are presented in an apolitical, genre-specific context without advocating for any particular political ideology.
The film features a visibly diverse supporting cast, though its lead character is a white male and it does not include explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive portrayal of traditional identities, without explicit DEI themes or critiques.
The film features Karl Wolfschtagg, a queer-coded character whose exaggerated, effeminate traits are primarily used for comedic mockery. This portrayal relies on stereotypes without any affirming or counterbalancing elements, contributing to a negative net impact on LGBTQ+ representation.
The film portrays Master Wong, a character whose philosophy and training are heavily inspired by Buddhist traditions, as a wise and ultimately effective mentor. While his methods are often exaggerated for comedic effect, the narrative validates his spiritual discipline and guidance, positioning him as a positive force in the protagonist's journey.
