History VideoGame / JackieChanTheKungFuMaster

* MultiSlotCharacter: Out of the nine characters, three of them are Creator/JackieChan. Each of them use different fighting styles based on the movies they're based on: there's Jackie Chan from ''Film/DrunkenMasterII'', Jackie Chan from ''Spiritual Kung Fu'', and Jackie Chan from ''Film/ProjectA''.

* PurposelyOverpowered - The three versions of Creator/JackieChan are supposed to be boss characters with more powerful moves than the regular characters. In practice, particularly when balanced a bit more in the UpdatedRerelease, they're not nearly as bad as Thorsten with his low pokes and his long backdash.

* AsHimself: The entire cast with the exception of Mysterious Lion (who is played by Sam Wong).
* AWinnerIsYou: All you get for finishing the game is the credits, some images of Jackie Chan on some sort of film set, and congratulations from the dragon himself.
* BloodlessCarnage - If Jackie Chan is present in any given fight.

* {{Gorn}} - A given for a ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' clone.

* MultiSlotCharacter: Out of the nine character, characters, three of them are Creator/JackieChan. Each of them use different fighting styles based on the movies they're based on: there's Jackie Chan from ''Film/DrunkenMasterII'', Jackie Chan from ''Spiritual Kung Fu'', and Jackie Chan from ''Film/ProjectA''.

* PurposelyOverpowered - The three versions of Creator/JackieChan are this, in theory. In practice, particularly when balanced a bit more in the UpdatedRerelease, they're not nearly as bad as one of the stronger normal characters in the game.
* SNKBoss - Creator/JackieChan himself. [[EvilKnockoff Demon Thorston]] is also extremely powerful.

* AsHimself: The entire cast besides Lau (who's actor is unknown) and Mysterious Lion (who is played by Sam Wong.)

This game is very obscure because it was NoExportForYou, and the CopyProtection was so well done that people were unable to emulate until late 2008.[[note]] given the small amount of Arcade machines currently in existence, the only way to play it is in an emulator.[[/note]]

How did they managed to release this without destroying Jackie Chan's image? Well, the answer is quite simple: There is blood and gore '''as long as''' Jackie Chan is '''[[ContractualPurity not]]''' in battle. If any of the players uses Jackie Chan, then blood and gore will be ContractualPurity unavailable.

The game received a UpdatedRerelease called ''Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire''. Besides some changes in the game engine, there are two main differences.

* BloodlessCarnage - See ContractualPurity.
* CopyProtection - The game was obtained in 2000, but it took ''8 years'' to understand how to break the copyright protection of it.

** FinishingMove

* PaletteSwap - Of three characters in the UpdatedRerelease... for no good reason.
