Jackie Chan, an amateur archeologist, would prefer to quietly do his work for the local university, but fate has dealt him another hand. When he finds a shield containing a talisman, he runs afoul of The Dark Hand, a criminal organization led by a man called Valmont and guided by the spirit Shendu. Jackie and his family must cooperate with a secret law enforcement organization, Section 13, to counter the threat, and must face dangers that will demand all of Jackie’s daring and skill in martial arts to overcome.
The main Jackie Chan adventures characters
Jackie Chan – Jackie Chan is a talented archaeologist who lives in San Francisco with his uncle. His quiet life of exploring booby-trapped castles and dusty tombs is disturbed when an old friend, Captain Black of Section 13, recruits him to stop the Dark Hand acquiring the 12 Talismans. Having been raised by his Uncle, a powerful Chi Wizard, Jackie understands that the Talismans themselves pose a serious threat to the world, though he often laments that he has been forced onto the front lines of the battle between good and evil.
Jade Chan – Jade is Jackie’s Hong Kong-born, 12 year-old niece (actually his first-cousin-once-removed, since she is his “cousin Shen’s girl”) who is already ‘Americanized’. She is adventurous, and to that extent, she frequently disobeys her uncle’s advice to remain in safety, and tends to accompany Jackie as he goes out on adventures and thus getting herself into trouble, and though she will not admit it, often has to be rescued by Jackie almost every time. Just as often, however, her quick mind and flexible thinking helps Jackie in situations where his moderate thinking and habitual caution are a definite hindrance. A frequent gag in the series is her inexplicable ability to appear in the middle of the action mere seconds after being left in a supposedly secure location/vehicle for her safety, she also wanted to be a hero/#1 fan like Jackie is and maybe have a fan club but Jackie forbids that because of her age.
Uncle – Uncle, as he is known (he is called “sensei” by Tohru), is the uncle of Jackie and great-uncle of Jade. He has a very stereotypical Cantonese accented drawl, usually talks in third person about himself, and often uses Cantonese in many aspects of his speech (his magic incantation, “Yu1 mo1 gwai2 gwaai3 fai3 di6 zao2″ (妖魔鬼怪快哋走), means “Evil demons and malevolent spirits, be gone!” in Cantonese). His most commonly used magical items are a dried salamander and puffer fish; both having backgrounds in Asian remedies. Tea is his favorite drink, but he often complains it’s too hot or cold and always throws the cup when he finishes. He has a variety of catchphrases, almost all of them used as admonitions to other characters.
