History Trivia / JackieChanAdventures

** The airing of the ''JCA'' Season 2 premiere "The Stronger Evil" (along with the rest of the Creator/KidsWB lineup for Fall 2001) were postponed by two weeks due to the [[TooSoon/SeptemberEleventh 9/11 terrorist attacks]] from Al-Qaeda, which started UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror. This was probably due to a trend of censoring and editing out any images of the now-destroyed World Trade Center; for example the next Season 2 episode "The J-Team", which included a brief shot of the NYC skyline.

* ScheduleSlip: ''JCA'' managed to become a small part of TooSoon/SeptemberEleventh in a few ways.

** On a related note, the real Creator/JackieChan was supposed to star in ''Nosebleed'', a movie about a window washer working at the World Trade Center who foils a terrorist plot, which was immediately cancelled for obvious reasons. ''Allegedly'' according to an urban legend, Chan narrowly avoided attending the planned filming that was supposed to begin on the morning of September 11, 2001.

* ScheduleSlip: The promos for the Season 2 premiere "The Stronger Evil" (along with the rest of Kids'WB! lineup for the fall of 2001) was set up, but the Tuesday before this scheduled premiere sadly happened to be [[TheWarOnTerror September 11th]], [[TooSoon/SeptemberEleventh when the World Trade Center was attacked and destroyed by Al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden, taking thousands of lives with it.]] Perhaps out of respect for this, Time Warner moved the entire schedule of Kids'WB! including the Demon Portal arc of Shendu's siblings back by two weeks following the 9/11 attacks (one of the reasons for the delay could be Creator/{{Sony}}/[[Creator/ColumbiaPictures Columbia]]/[[Creator/TristarPictures Tristar]]/Creator/JackieChan needing to have any potential images of the World Trade Center in the second episode of the demon arc of JCA airbrushed out; that episode, "[[Recap/JackieChanAdventuresS2E6TheJTeam The J-Team]]", includes a brief shot of the New York skyline, and it was supposed to be broadcast the following weekend), and the other two filler episodes that take place during Season 1 aired instead (the other filler, "[[Recap/JackieChanAdventuresS2E1ThroughTheRabbitHole Through The Rabbit Hole]]", aired the Saturday before the terrorist attacks; on a side note, Creator/HowardStern made a small TakeThat to Chan prior to the attacks which changed his radio broadcast).

* RealLifeRelative: Stacie Chan, who voices Jackie's niece Jade in the cartoon and asks him questions from kids at the end of each episode, is in fact Jackie Chan's niece in real life.

** Creator/ClancyBrown voices Captain Black, Ratso, Super Moose, and Tchang Zu.

** James Sie voices both the animated Jackie and Shendu. Also Chow.
** Po Kong and Bai Tza are voiced by Creator/MonaMarshall.
** Xiao Fung and Tso Lan are both voiced by the late Glenn Shadix.
** ''Not'' [[SharingABody what happens to Shendu and Valmont]] by season two.

** Jackie Chan absorbing the beast-like Earth Demon chi in Season 5 may be seen as a reference to the real Chan being the Chinese voice of another, [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast friendlier beast from 1991, who was voiced by Robby Benson in America.]]
** In addition, Chan was also the Chinese singing voice of the Beast, and was the Chinese counterpart to Peabo Bryson in singing the title theme.

** The varieties of Shadowkhan are never named on-screen, but are known in fandom as the [[{{Ninja}} Ninja-Khan]], [[AirborneMook Bat-Khan]], [[GiantMook Sumo-Khan]], [[AdorableEvilMinions Shadow Eaters (or Leech-Khan)]], [[KatanasAreJustBetter Samurai-Khan]], [[EldritchAbomination Squid-Khan]], [[KnifeNut Razor-Khan]], [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe Crab-Khan]], and the [[FourLeggedInsect Mantis-Khan]].

** They even lampshade it. Season One had the team looking for the 12 talismans of Shendu and Season Two had them trying to prevent the unsealing of the 8 demon sorcerers. Season Three had the talismans destroyed and inhabit the animal namesake (the same magic in a new container) and season five had them looking for the artifacts of the immortals that imprisoned the 8 demon sorcerers (same elemental powers in new containers). Season four is the only completely original season with the Shadowkhan masks.
** The entire main plot arcs of all five seasons follow a basic structure: Locate potentially dangerous, if not apocalyptic, magical power sealed away somewhere around the world.
** Drago evaluating potential henchmen when looking for people to replace the Enforcers. The rejects (other than Valmont) showed results similar to those from when Finn tried to create his own gang.

* WriteWhoYouKnow:
** According to real-life Jackie, the characters of the show are based on certain people in his life.

* DuelingWorks: The second and third seasons of ''JCA'' were aired alongside the animated take on ''Film/TheMummy'' trilogy. ''JCA'' managed to get a few more seasons in than ''The Mummy'', which was put in stasis for 5 years after two seasons.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The only official DVD releases this series got were 3 single disc sets containing 3 episodes each, which don't even comprise the whole of Season 1, though a Season 1 set has been made but good luck finding it. A Season 2 DVD set has been released, but it's out of print and a bit pricey. The first two seasons can be found on Hulu. Fortunately, the entire series can be purchased off of iTunes and Amazon Instant Video.

* NoExportForYou: The PS2 game never got released in America, only in Europe.

* ActorAllusion: Jackie Chan absorbing the beast-like Earth Demon chi in Season 5 may be seen as a reference to the real Chan being the Chinese voice of another, [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast friendlier beast from 1991, who was voiced by Robby Benson in America.]]

* NamesTheSame: Augustus Black is not the same Captain Black from ''Series/CaptainScarletAndTheMysterons''.

* TheOtherDarrin: When Hak Foo originally debuted in the first season episode "The Dog & Piggy Show", he was voiced by Creator/JimCummings. After he became a regular, starting with season 2, John [=DiMaggio=] took over the role. In "Deja Vu", when Jackie relives the events of Hak's debut episode [[FlashbackWithTheOtherDarrin DiMaggio still voices the character]].

* RecycledScript: They even lampshade it. Season One had the team looking for the 12 talismans of Shendu and Season Two had them trying to prevent the unsealing of the 8 demon sorcerers. Season Three had the talismans destroyed and inhabit the animal namesake (the same magic in a new container) and season five had them looking for the artifacts of the immortals that imprisoned the 8 demon sorcerers (same elemental powers in new containers).

* TalkingToHimself: James Sie voices both the animated Jackie and Shendu. Also Chow.

* BeamMeUpScotty: The line "I don't want no trabble!" is oddly associated with and would sound like it came from this show, but the line actually came from RushHour.

** Likewise, as stated in the HeyItsThatVoice entry above, Julian Sands voiced Valmont, but only for seasons 1 & 2. Greg Ellis voiced him in season 3 and Andrew Abselon voiced his handful of appearances in season 4.

** Evidently, [[Film/KillBill Bill]] sealed the ancient demonic dragon lord Shendu in stone 900 years before he got married to, and then tried to kill, The Bride, only to become the target of a revenge plot that Shendu would have LOVED to have been a part of.
*** On a side note, Bill's protege, [[Creator/LucyLiu O-Ren Ishii]][=/=][[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda Master Viper]], is the adult Jade Chan and the female [[Series/{{Elementary}} Watson.]] Jade ironically got her wish to be a secret agent when she became [[Film/BallisticEcksVsSever Sever]], a [[BoxOfficeBomb mission]] she probably [[RogerEbertMostHatedFilmList regrets.]]

* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/ClancyBrown, normally a villain actor, playing a "good guy" in Captain Black and Super Moose. They're only several of these types of roles he's done, Sergeant Zim from ''Film/StarshipTroopers'' (which also involved Sony/Tristar and is technically another military role) and Raiden [[note]] which is a ShockAndAwe character; ironically, Tchang Zu's voice sounds more like Clancy Brown than Creator/FrankWelker, who was never credited in the end-of-episode credits for the role; also ironically, one of Brown's co-stars from ''Starship Troopers'', Casper Van Dien, later appeared in ''WebVideo/MortalKombatLegacy's'' second season [[/note]] from ''WesternAnimation/MortalKombatDefendersOfTheRealm'' being two of the few other good examples.
