The character of Uncle Chan is based on Charles Chan, Jackie's father.
The opening sequence took almost a year to develop.
All animated Jackie's beige/khaki clothes are similar to the real Jackie's clothes in the film Armour of God (1986).
Throughout various fifth-season episodes, several of the magical talismans are hidden on screen.
There are numerous references to Jackie Chan's career throughout the series. For example, in the first episode when Jade comes in, Jackie assumes she doesn't speak English and is surprised when she does in the middle of combat (Rush Hour). Another example is season 3 episode 7 Jackie is bitten by a Snake, and uses a kung fu style known as "the drunken master" from one of his earliest headlining films of the same name.
