Jackie Chan Adventures is a special kind of show. A show that relies upon the part of a built-in audience adaptation. I love Jackie Chan, except I’ve never seen any of his live-action work except for that one movie, the Spy Next Door. probably not his most notable work BUT It successfully pulled me into the Jackie Chan craze. I love this man so much, it soon took over my life. could you imagine when I discovered Jackie Chan Adventures? it was animated, it was funny, it has an AWESOME intro. but I digress.
this show was successful and did everything right except for the fact it did not include a lot of Jackie Chan. while it holds his namesake the cartoon character Jackie Chan is not played by Jackie Chan. but I was stupid and couldn’t tell the difference. however what it lacked in actual Jackie Chan It made up with the live section where it would show Jackie do some INCREDIBLE cool martial arts shit and he would answer questions from his audience
People’s views on this were definitely positive, introducing an iconic actor through a medium that younger kids could consume. INCREDIBLE. it did have a brief stint of merchandise that followed along with the show but seeing as I was about ten years too late, I have yet to get my hands on one of the Jackie collectible cards
my favorite card is Dark Jackie where he gets split into two personalities and bodys. Dark Jackie and wimpy Jackie as I call him.
