Children of the early 2000s might be amused to note that the film has quite a few parallels with the animated series ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'', a [[CelebrityToons Celebrity Toon]] starring Jackie Chan (a highly fictionalized version of him, anyway...) that was still running when the film was released. The BigBad is even played by Julian Sands, who had a prominent role in the show as the voice of the crime lord Valmont.
