Have you watched this show?
What are your favourite episodes?
ackie Chan Adventures is set within an alternate Earth in which magic and supernatural forces exist but are unknown to much of humanity - these include demons, ghosts, spirits, spells and various creatures and gods. Although the series focuses mostly on those from Asia, primarily Chinese mythology and folklore, it also includes those from other locations in the world, including Europe and Central America. In the animated series, the actor Jackie Chan exists in this setting as a professional archaeologist with a high degree of martial combat skill, who is forced to accept the fact that magic and the supernatural exists when he uncovers a talisman in an artifact that possess magical powers sought out by a criminal organization.

Throughout the series, Chan is aided by his close family, including his uncle and his niece Jade, and his close friend Captain Black – head of a secret law enforcement organization codenamed "Section 13" – alongside additional allies introduced over the course of the series. Each season of the program primarily contains an overarching storyline in which Chan and his allies must face off against a dangerous demonic figure, aided by human henchman, by preventing them finding a series of magical objects that can help them to conquer the world. Alongside the overarching plotline, some episodes also consist of standalone stories that focus on Chan and his friends combatting magical and supernatural forces that are either evil or not understanding of their situation. While storylines feature action sequence focused on magic and martial arts, they also include comedic situations akin to several of Chan's works in action-comedy films.

It was pretty fun. I especially liked the one where Uncle mocked the dude who called out all his attacks.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Another Time another world another place. It was auwsome.... way Auswome then the original Jackie-Chan-Gang animated tv series.... the one that was like Scooby-Duo.

It told a story, had creative characters, and was meh-kay....

Alias Jackie Chan is being dubbed a sell-out to Hong Kong. The people that put him on the map are seen a nothing to him. AKA "That Hong Kong is dead". AKA the Hong Kong was saw in "Genocyber"
where that little kid was killed off by the gangster resulting in the elimination of the entire island. Why? That HK was the HK of British imperialism.

Honestly one the best shows beyond "Totally Spies" ( Charlie Angles/V.I.P. Parody ).

I enjoyed every bit of it. The only part that makes me sad is when I saw this one episode where Jackie was in this part of rural etc ( whatever mainland Asia ) and the people were dressed in a particular way. It reminds me of my friend who show me this electrical repair place hidden in the back of a laundry mat. These two sickly looking "Asian" guys with chewed out hair, pale odd-color skin, and matching glasses dressed up. Behind them in the small room was a row of various electronics. Now thinking about it they were probably running some kind of illegal shop or side-business. Jackie Chan show made them look like some kind of wholesome village.

Jackie Chan also mentioned a bit about his upbringing in one of those "with Jackie" clips that would play at the end of most episodes. He had "servants" in his house and one of them started to show him martial-arts. So by logic Jackie Chan came from a family that was well off. No master-bum, or "Kung-fu hustle" type story. However later in other reviews he sorta changed his story around ( which I find hilarious, like Jackie does not want people to know what kind of household he came from ).

Jackie Chan = China brand ambassador. Buy more Jackie films we have a good laugh. Just ignore all those people being loaded up on that train to that big fire.

Jackie's early life is pretty well documented. He didn't have servants; his parents were servants in an ambassador's house, & he was sent to live & study at the China Drama Academy from age 6-16, which is where he learned martial arts.

That seem like kind of an unexpected place to learn martial arts.

Well that is not what Jackie Chan said in one of his "About Jackie" skits at the end of each JCA.

He specifically said "There was servants in house and one of them showed him martial arts"

He did not say he went
to specialized schools, or anything like that. That is my problem with Jackie Chan bs...especially any bs from mainland China.

He keeps changing his story up.

It is documented like Super-Mario or some persons Wikipedia that removed specific information about them.

Yeah, there were servants in house: His parents' co-workers.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
