[@gianthand8130]

I liked the Godzilla/King Kong like scale and action in “Little Valmont, Big Jade”. There is an irony when someone as small and short as Jade becomes large and in charge.

[@julymedia752]

Long time no see, Jordan! I am looking forward to you doing more of WAIT...Remember: Skunk Fu! World of Quest Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot Redwall The Ripping Friends Kong: The Animated Series

[@PricefieldPunk]

I feel like people today would complain about Uncle being a stereotype but as a Chinese guy myself i still find Uncle hilarious and one of the best characters in the show. You did not make coffee this morning, coffee is the only thing keeping Uncle's ancient heart beating.. YOU WANT DEAD UNCLE?? No? then you make coffee!

Uncle's "aya!" became a permanent and involuntary part of my vocabulary. See a bug, get cut off in traffic, stub your toe? Aya!

[@BertoxolusThePuzzled]

Hah, same here.

[@janette2691]

Same 😂😂😂😂😂

I say it every time I get a pinched nerve in my shoulder/neck. I inhale and that's the word that comes out. It's not up to me. Surprise+pain= aya

[@comettamer]

Much of Uncle's catchphrase repertoire has become common lingo for me. "One more thing!"

[@G0Girt]

@@comettamersame! “Do you want uncle to get in trouble? Nooo? Then go upstairs and brush teeth!” I do that to my nieces and nephews when I spend the weekend with them 😂

[@TheDeafPrinceGaming]

Uncle is one of my favorite characters in cartoons. I’m a deaf person, and he always said “you’re handicapable!” Was so nice to hear (no pun intended)

[@SerenitySpiderMonkey]

I always loved this show. It was my intro to Jackie Chan. Rest in peace Julian Sands (voice actor of Valmont)

[@BadAtGaming3484]

Damn shame how he died. Be careful hiking out there people.

[@blanktintin]

I loved the end credits where Jackie answered questions from kids if you went to the website on WB. He answered one of mine and I was giddy. Still a happy core memory for me.

[@Lysiode]

man !lucky you!! I cant imagine how it was like. I think i would have went crazy excited in your place haha Amazing

[@5StarJoestar420]

What was your question?

[@abridgedgoku]

It's easily one of the most underrated shows. Loved this show growing up, and more people definitely need to watch. Much like static shock, this needs more love.

[@mikeredd8833]

Good god I've watched static every couple years since I was 12(33 now). Such an incredible show and always good morals. In an area that is gang filled. Nothing could be better for kids to watch!!!

[@hameley12]

Thanks for this comment. Still remember Static Shock, Batman Beyod, Project Zeta, and late at night after the adults went to sleep, my cousins and I would go to the TV and on Disney to watch Gargoyles. Which we weren't allowed to watch it yet... because of the dark themes, but it was sooo much fun to see another type of media.

[@metashade4218]

Fun fact: One of the storyboard directors of this show would later direct the Illumination’s Super Mario Bros. movie

[@roryflynn3889]

Wait what?

[@NuikopeaDemon]

Michael Jelenic ​@@roryflynn3889

[@thebrightdiamondtp7871]

They also became a co-showrunner for Teen Titans Go

[@3ftninja132]

I need proof... I WANT to believe this

[@Silverman160Zero]

Michael Christopher Jelenic. Storyboard artist later turned writer for Jacki Chan Adventures. The Super Mario Bros movie was his directorial debut. He also had a hand in making Batman: The Brave and the Bold. And the 2011 Thundercats shows.

[@Netherwolf6100]

I was a fan of Jackie Chan long before the show but this is a core part of my childhood and I loved every bit of it. Pokemon, Yugioh, Static Shock and Jackie Chan Adventures were the shows I would always get up early on Saturday every week to see without fail. Honestly might get the Talismans for my birthday next year.

[@Hakajin]

Same! At first I only watched Jackie Chan Adventures because it was on after Pokemon; I thought they'd probably just try to bank on Chan's name, and it wouldn't be any good. But I ended up loving the characters, the voice acting was great, and it was funny as hell! Even though the story revolved around finding mcguffins, most every episode was interesting. Lol, I love when they're at the chocolate factory, and Jackie gets excited in the middle of a fight because he realizes that the pig talisman was the original owner's secret way of melting the chocolate.

[@simunator]

don't forget xiaolin showdown

[@mikeredd8833]

​@simunator you legend. Spitting facts

[@n3rfdr4gon99]

The banter between Uncle and Toru's mother had me dead. Uncle's character was like if Iroh from ATLA reached a tipping point and finally snapped. He had periods of calm where he displayed great wisdom, but they were constantly interrupted by bursts of energy and irritation at things happening around him. This show was one of my favorite, if not my favorite, shows on WB when I was a kid, full stop. It really captured what it felt like to watch Jackie Chan's movies, almost like a living comic book.

[@chenstormstout9456]

“Uncle knew you were vampire!”

[@IzemWestan-k1g]

Uncle and iroh represent two opposite spectrums of the Asian uncle stereotype

[@ElDraco5]

"I'm sorry, I'll pay for these later, thank you!" How can I not remember Jackie Chan Adventures? It was my first introduction to Jackie Chan and his many stunts. :)

[@ivanbluecool]

Saw the show a few months ago. Still holds up on how funny it can be and uncle's jabs at jackie. Same with how it and xiolin showdown had similar hilarious made up fighting styles

[@jackieec]

Same. It’s just so good 😊

The part where you talked about how cool it is when kids media can show off different cultures meant a lot. This show was my introduction to the Chinese zodiac. 😅 (Also that shot of Shendu coming to "life" after collecting all the talismans for the first time had always stuck with me.) Great video as usual!

[@TheTabyo]

My dad loves Jackie Chan so I was already familiar by the time the show came out and I hugely agree that they were able to translate his action comedy perfectly into animated form! I loved this show so much!

[@EChacon]

Literally it’s been 9 MONTHS since you last did a "Wait Renember……X Series” video. And *ONE MORE THING!* Glad to see you haven’t abandoned the video series.

[@ZellyTheFangirl]

i still quote Uncle's "ONE MORE THING!" in that same tone to this day

[@AaronLevine-t3j]

Same; especially to my daughter whenever I need to talk to her

[@OGTiTan]

Fun fact: the voice actor for Jackie in this is the cabbage guy in the Netflix ATLA live action

[@Retro_Red]

And the original ATLA series. Plus the voice actor for Uncle played Toph's former teacher.

I still say shit like "one mooooore thing" and "MAGIC MUST DEFEAT MAGIC," it would be weird if I didn't remember this show.

[@Sir_Psych]

Do I remember Jackie Chan Adventure!? I still haven't gotten "Jackie!" “El Toro" "Jackie!" "El Toro" out of my head after all these years.

[@zeroG131]

I genuinely think Jackie Chan Adventures is the progenitor of so many others 2000s-era action cartoons, primarily through it's choreography, so good!

[@TheRavenLord1]

I remember this show and enjoying it whenever it was on. Was a good show to me in my opinion.

[@Jaydog1Party]

“One more thing”! So hilarious!

[@maxordman4100]

I absolutely love Jackie Chan Adventures! Wish the whole series was available on DVD but only the complete second season has been released. It’s so weird that they only released season two! Thanks for bringing back such great memories! This cartoon will always have a special place in my heart!

[@Scorpiofrfr]

Heeeees baaaaaack!!! Glad to see you doing wait remember videos again. I liked the Survivor video essay but tbh these are special

[@TayNez63]

I think about this show every now and then. I loved the show so much. I’m due for a rewatch!

[@waztelandmedia]

One of my core memories has a kid was sitting in my grandparent new house watching Jackie Chan Adventures while they worked on it and painted it

[@twinswords79dualblade84]

I was just about to comment on the fact that you already covered this show and that was when the video mentioned you covered this show 3 years ago and just wanted to make a better one since it got blocked. That’s hilarious timing 😂

[@roberttreacy8271]

I remember watching Jackie Chan Adventures as a kid. It was a fun, imaginative show. Should definitely give it a rewatch soon, especially with its 25th anniversary next year.

[@Bardic_Knowledge]

I remember reading in a minizine once that Jackie Chan really loves Dragon Ball, and so the cartoon's collectathon storylines were loosely based in that "gotta get the whole set" idea of pre-Z Dragon Ball.

[@kolonarulez5222]

My favorite episode is the one where they travel to a nightmare future where the bad guys won and the dragon makes them servants who trim his nails

[@UnusualPete]

It was one of my favourite cartoon shows as a teen! Your video made me want to rewatch it! Thank you 😃🎉

[@daltonanderson2918]

The show was on Netflix and I sat down to show my 8 yr old son the show. I loved it when I was 12 or 13 whenever it premiered. He in 2024 watched the whole series in just one week. It holds up and still catches the minds and imaginations of kids today.

[@Grimprospect]

The little WB clips of the credits showing Max Steele and Static Shock was a big nostalgia hit haha

[@Sykopath96]

Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao still plays in my head at random moments for many years now, maybe it will forever

[@geoffshaw2775]

This and the Last Airbender are the shows I watched growing up that I feel holds up very well. Still very enjoyable as an adult

[@dantefspear]

A meme I saw said "it's rough how Jade grew up to become Azula" with a picture of their faces side by side. I can't unsee it

[@MrGeekFreek]

One more thing. Bad day bad day bad day!!! Ayyyahhh! You must not question Uncle. Only magic can defeat magic. Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao. El Toro Fuerte never removes his mask.

[@aceknowledgable9403]

I remember Jackie Chan Adventures as being the show which became my bread and butter to watch every week. Uncle's catchphrases are still a part of my vocabulary like "Ayah!" or the classic "One more thing!" I also got exposed to different mythologies, folklore, and urban legends are my favorite subject alongside history. This TV show has also inspired me to make my own stories, featuring different mythological pantheons from other parts of the world. After rewatching it recently, it hold up well and will probably be the best series of my life.

[@TiroDvD]

The various chi powers of the Dragons in the 5th season are related to the elements from the trigrams Bagua; with mountain being "big" and swamp/lake being "gravity".

[@Lblueturtle4312]

Loves this show! I still quote things from it: "One more thing!" Then Jackie had said "No! No more things!" 😂 there was an episode when the villain was called "Lo pei" & 1 of the three underlines said: "His name is Low pay like my paycheck. Get it?"🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for making this video Jordan! Reliving childhood memories! ^__^

[@DarrellOjr]

Jackie Chan Adventure was my favorite childhood show

[@essskaayyy2893]

Growing up in saudi arabia my brother and I ( both pakistani) would wait for this show to air. We loved it, we drew so much fanart, made up our own stories....we both grew up to be artists and animators. There's so much a well written kids show does for children's imagination. It's sad this stuff doesn't get made anymore. We were truly blessed to have such amazing television

[@topoelpibe]

One more thing. Love that line Uncle was best character on the show

[@georgehernandez9767]

It's great to you see you back with more reviews! I always love seeing Jackie Chan Adventures as a kid and appreciated the stories, quotes, and characters!

[@chigume]

This and Mike Tyson mysteries are the best celebrity shows

[@Gwenx]

I only knew about Jakie Chan via the show, my dad was so surprised to see him as a cartoon he sat down and saw it with me! He loved Jakies movies but i had just been too young to watch any of the movies - I never saw the whole show though as i could only see it when visiting my dad every other weekend.. I should go back and watch it again, i remember loving it!

[@NateInYoState]

"The chinese word troublemaker is...." [Show clips of jade] "Maafaanyo..." [more clips of jade] "Or Jade for short." I'm mad I still remember that clip in between commericals

[@shame2189]

This show even had my parents going around the house exclaiming "Ayaa!" at any inconvenience haha, it's charm captured even their eyes.

[@jacobweinstock2180]

Two fingers raised....... YOU...DON'T...MESS...WITH UNCUUUUULE!!! not then and not now

[@Crimson_Dragon01]

Just watching the silent clips in this made me remember so many great lines from the characters. This show was amazing. I need to rewatch this sometime.

[@Wei2Vile]

I remember jackie running on top of the train to not fall into the cliff while the minions were watching in shocked amazement. Then once he makes the last jump to safety, one of the minions said "There's no way he's human."

[@_Just_Another_Guy]

This cartoon was kinda big in Canada. It was part of Canadian after-school kids programming on some Canadian channels as well as WB Kids, Cartoon Network, and Nickelodeon.

[@dragoon5533]

I rewatched this series about 2 years ago and when I finished it I had a feeling of, "It feels like they always wanted to do more but just either couldn't or didn't." Like the episode counts weren't enough for everything they wanted to do. For example: Shendu's Demon Family with most of them being defeated in a singular episode most of the time. It felt like there was a lot more they could've done but just didn't and the pacing to me seemed off. The show is still honestly great and entertaining but it continually felt like *more* was supposed to happen each episode. That said, it still shocks me how much they were able to get away saying the word "Demon" in the show, especially on KidsWB. Most of the time that word might get used once or twice a season and the rest of the time replaced with the word "Monster" but here they were saying it pretty regularly anytime an actual Demon was involved. lol

[@Headpfones]

This is still one of my favourite cartoon shows and this is what introduced me to Jackie Chan 😁🌟🌟

[@ShadeMeadows]

I watched this a lot as a kid, and rewatched it all a few years ago!

[@dmnapier7]

I love Jackie Chan. My childhood was filled with him and Adam Sandler. I use to run home from school to watch the after school episodes of JCA. When I would stay with my granny, we watched old Jackie Chan movies. Jackie Chan is a legend and inspiration.I saw this video and was like "Didn't he already make this? Screw it, it's Jordan and Jackie, I'm down." I'm excited that it's a totally new video.

[@statesminds]

This was such a good show. Im glad you mentioned that you did a video before bc i thought i remembered your video and felt crazy haha

[@shaggybeshaggin8038]

My cousin and me would go around as kids teasing each other shouting "Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao! Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao! Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao!" we loved uncle he was hilarious.

[@ProductionsFromBeyon]

Honestly a life changing show for me. I started kempo karate as a kid cuzz of this series (and dragon ball) and I still practice martial arts to this day. Mostly Kung Fu, the style Jackie practiced.

[@IskandrArchive]

This show was so influential on my childhood. It was part of the reason i grew up with a huge fascination with Chinese culture. I still regularly rewatch this show to this day. Love to see it get more recognition

[@Pwnr145]

Yes! Dude looking back the animation quality and the style of this show is so amazing. I'm so glad I lived through all of these great shows

[@Ruodnoc]

It's funny. Before you mentioned Yu-Gi-Oh I was literally thinking about how this show always gave me Yu-Gi-Oh vibes 🤣 Both are great in my opinion

[@hill2hell]

Woohoo this was my childhood! When I get surprised, drop something, or just don't know what's happening. I always say "Aiya!!" and I'm not chinese. I got so used to it that it's my default expression even after I've grown up. 🤣🤣

[@HoosierHospitality]

I'm watching this at 9:30 on Saturday morning. This counts as Saturday morning cartoons. Time to go make waffles 🧇

[@grahamjhallaudio8198]

[@-PVL93-]

Ah imagine the promotional potential associated with each of the animals

[@Gamer3427]

I was a huge Jackie Chan fan growing up thanks to watching a lot of his movies with my grandparents, so I absolutely watched this show as a kid and have a lot of fond memories of it. It's honestly been sitting on my list of old shows to rewatch along with Teen Titans and Batman, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Really glad to see it get some love and attention, because basically no one I know ever watched it for some reason.

[@Lunerlander]

Remember it? i quote uncle so much, i play ghost hunting games with friends and just randomly say uncles chant, my best friend has a cat named Jack that i will randomly call Jackiiiiie. i say One More thing on the norm.

[@DaSkittlzman]

I loved Jackie Chan Adventures and the fact that you can find and watch it on KZbin is bliss

[@jksanrio]

“Jaaaaackiiiiiieeeee!!!”

[@CesarACastillo]

Uncle: One More Thing Magic must defeat Magic Edit: as for me I was in the former camp with some elements of the latter. I knew who he was from movies I wasn't allowed to watch cause I wasn't 13 yet. The show allowed me to find out who the man was as a person and I really looked forward to the live-action questions fans asked. I also grew fascinated with Toru’s bigger role in the Oni General season. I think it was this season and Yu-Gi-Oh that sparked my original love for Japanese anime.

[@sycofya1677]

Make The Mask and Ace Ventura cartoon next please

[@charlesbennett7484]

Absolutely LOVED this show as a kid! I had seen a few of Jackie Chan's movies before hand so it immediately caught my attention seeing Chan's name and likeness in a cartoon. I was surprised how well his moves were animated, it was EXACTLY like the movies I'd seen him in! Was he rotoscoped? He HAD to be, I don't know how else the animation could be so accurate.

[@aisadal2521]

Yes I do! It was one of my favorite shows when WB Kids was still around 😄

[@vigneshorthodoc]

This series was my childhood, saw the first season in Cartoon network India, then again it aired in Tamil, my mother tongue in a local kids channel. The Tamil dub was awesome and has many iconic lines.

[@USMC-Goforth]

"Ahh, the talisman"😂

[@Feynman_Fries]

Oh I absolutely remember when this show premiered on cartoon network, they had been building it up with vignettes. The animation style especially the backgrounds, was so fresh and colorful. They brilliantly added mystical elements to a story that could have been bland. Great show!

[@digifreak90]

Let me tell you, as a kid who was born in the year of the boar watching this show, I was always upset that I, in fact, could not shoot laser beams from my eyes.

[@herohut725]

I enjoyed watching this as a kid. I always loved his moves growing up. His fighting style and using his surroundings always brought something fresh. I need to rewatched this series in its entirety. Never finished it when I was younger.

[@Nastyn1nja808]

0:54 El Toro Is the Greatest!!!!!

[@resurgemas]

You are mistaken. Jackie is the greatest

[@joeyteter9383]

Me and one of my buddies have been talking about this show a couple of times over the last couple of weeks. Absolutely loved it growing up. This, and the video game he put out when I was a kid, which was also a ton of fun

[@Aaron__Parker]

i remember the humanoid lizard demon that was chasing chi for body alterations, but apparently everyone hates that season

I've been on a kick of trying to find vintage kids wb Saturday morning cartoons recently, including Jackie Chan Adventures. This was a refreshing view of something I've been trying to watch naturally, great timing.

[@raonidangelo6883]

Yo, here in Brasil this animation was a huge thing in early 2000

[@swamplinglvr]

I watched this show every day before school back when it aired. Back in the early 00s you could get up at like 6am to watch Pokemon, Jackie Chan Adventures, Cubix, and DBZ while eating your breakfast and taking your vitamins before you had to schlep off to school. Ah, the memories.

[@ShurikenSean]

Been looking forward to this!

[@evaobrien2455]

My sister and I still quote the line from the episode where Jackie says “Are those seats real leather? Oh those poor cows!” 😂

[@Thromash]

Don't just look up how stunts the man has done, look up all the times they went wrong. That man went through a lot. Grew up watching his movies & this gem along with plenty others that kids now days will miss unless they get lucky with an old rerun. Used to even have the talismans they sold as toys for the show.

[@KevinFruit12]

I'm so happy you redid this one, especially because it is now in the remember series instead of your older series. Oh, and one more thing, if you want to see if Sony will let you discuss every episode, I would totally be ready for that.

[@bryankutchens7495]

Sure do remember, just rewatched it last year. Sadly there is a decline in quality mid way through season 4. That episode when they turn into kids was torture. Lowest point of the series.

[@bdillmore40]

Thank YOU for making this viceo. I NEVER hear anyone talk about this cartoon. I loved this as a kid growing up watching it on Saturday mornings on the Kids WB!!!! Brought back a lot of good memories!!!
