Jackie Chan Adventures (2000–2005): Season 1, Episode 2 - The Power Within - full transcript
Uncle tells Jackie of the legend of the Talismans. The Dark Hand tries to get the Rooster Talisman from Jackie.
Previously on Jackie
chan adventures
this is Jade, your niece.
I have a niece?
I cannot read
these inscriptions.
Very old writing.
The dark hand has connections
to nearly every criminal
activity in existence.
Their leader is valmont.
You're telling me
one man stopped you?
Tohru, bring me the shield.
Uncle: Jackie!
I have found what the
inscriptions mean.
They are incantations,
but the shield not important.
Of course the shield is
important, uncle.
Everybody I meet today
wants the shield.
Shield not important.
The talisman in the
center of the shield is.
That is where the magic lies.
Shendu: Valmont,
are your men blind?
It would seem.
Those possessed of sight
might have taken note
that the shield
contained no talisman.
Why's the boss taking
guff from a statue?
Uh, 'cause it talks.
Now, if my promise to
you of unspoiled riches
were as empty as that shield...
Rest assured, shendu,
you will have your talisman,
and I will ensure
that Jackie chan
never again interferes
with the dark hand...
Ever.
Jade: Chinese food?
I just moved here
from Hong Kong.
Can't we get some Tex-mex?
Jackie...
The rooster talisman
possesses enormous power.
What's it do?
Manners, Jade.
Ancient legend speaks
of 12 talismans...
One for each animal
of the Chinese zodiac,
each possessing a
different magic.
What kind of magic?
Jackie: Jade...
Legend also says the
talismans were scattered
to the 4 corners of the globe.
If this or any talisman
should fall into evil hands...
Jackie'll give 'em smackie
with his lightning
fists of steel!
Hey, when are you gonna
teach me some of your moves?
Later, Jade.
Humph.
Uncle,
do you really believe
in such a myth?
Ow!
Does that answer your question?
Jade: Jackie, check me out!
I got the moves!
Hee-yah!
Jade?
Not indoors!
Aah!
Fire!
Aah!
My niece is very sorry.
Whoa! Aren't you, niece?
I am such a dork.
I was just trying to get
you to teach me, Jackie.
The wise seek power
within themselves.
The foolish seek
it within others.
Until you harness the power
within yourself,
I cannot teach you.
Huh?
It means you must
have the discipline
to behave yourself.
Now eat your food.
Power within. Got it.
Mmm.
Don't eat like a baboon!
You should chew your food.
(Swallowing and gulping)
Hello? Chew soup?
Help me out here.
She's your niece.
(Swallowing)
Ahh. Tastes like chicken.
Ooh, dessert!
"Danger looms in your future."
We must be very cautious.
Pff. You listen to a cookie?
Evenin', chan.
Never mock the cookie.
Where's the talisman?
Come on, let's go.
Man: Check, please.
Hgggh!
Go, Jackie!
Unnh!
Ha!
Leave the rough stuff to Jackie.
(Grunts)
Go, uncle.
Thank you for dining with us.
(Gasps)
The talisman!
It was right there.
They took it!
Come on. We can catch 'em.
Stay with uncle.
Come. Sit.
(Gasps) The restaurant manager!
He looks very angry.
Where?
Ayah.
Mr. valmont, sir.
It didn't go quite as planned.
Regale me.
Well, we stomped chan.
Stomped him good.
But we didn't see any talisman.
You will be punished.
Shendu: Hindsight, valmont.
But perhaps the blind
can be made to see
with the eyes of a dragon.
"Stay with uncle."
Tcch. Didn't say which uncle.
Who has the keys?
He's coming!
(Jackie panting)
Hmm.
(Screams)
What's the big...
Oh. Uh, hi.
You followed me?
What do you hear when I talk?
Tell me,
does it sound like blah blah,
blah blah,
blah blah blah blah blah?
Jackie.
This is not funny.
This is dangerous.
(Muffled)
See?
Dangerous.
Come on!
Aren't you gonna whomp 'em?
(Panting) Ancient
Chinese proverb...
Do not fight when you can run.
(Panting)
You go that way. But...
Go!
You'll be safer away from me.
(Panting)
Huh?
Why are they chasing me?
Please have 4 wheels.
(Grunting)
Yes!
Nooo!
Jade!
Sorry. I'll bring it right back.
Whoa!
Ohhhh!
Jackie, you rule!
(Gasps)
Aaaah!
Whoa! Hey, kid,
watch where you're going!
No!
Huh?
How'd I do that?
Whoa!
Whoa!
Jackie!
No cutting in line.
(Grunting)
Jackie!
Grab on!
Help.
Why do you want the girl?
Unnh!
Oh, ninja-man...
(Grunting)
I don't understand
why they were after...
Jackie,
the coolest thing ever happened.
I went right off the
bridge, but I didn't fall.
I, like, stopped in midair,
and then I ran back
just like in cartoons.
I can fly.
Jade, enough fooling around.
Fooling around?
I just saved your butt!
Language, Jade.
The dark hand is after you,
and I want to know why.
Unh.
The talisman.
I don't have it!
You guys have it.
Don'tcha?
Ungh.
Oh, uh...
Tohru: The tracker
points to the girl,
but she does not
have the talisman.
Well, it must be hidden
on her somewhere, tohru.
I'm sure she didn't eat it.
Shendu: Man is much the wiser
when he looks within.
I understand.
And while you're at it...
Eliminate Jackie chan.
Jade: Hello?
Let me out of here! I mean it!
Just wait'll.
The jackinator comes to.
You guys are gonna
get so creamed.
Jade?
Jackinator?
(Elevator bell rings)
Tohru: Aha.
Aha, what? What's aha?
What are you gonna do with that?
Oh, boy.
The rooster thing's
in my stomach.
But when did I...
The restaurant! The restaurant!
How could you not notice
you swallowed a golf ball?
I told you to chew your food.
It was soup!
Never mind.
We have to get you out of here
before he gets the
talisman out of you.
The magic uncle
was talking about.
I'll fly out!
(Groaning)
(Straining)
Jade, even if you could fly...
And I'm not saying you can...
You are tied down to a
big, heavy table
which is bolted to the floor!
Jade: Grrr!
Jackie: Jade?
Whoa.
Oh... You're tele-tele-tele...
You can move things
with your mind!
No, with my stomach! (Gasps)
Hold still.
Focus, focus,
focus, focus, focus.
Grrrrrr!
Why do you growl?
Heh?
Ungh!
Guess I have that "power
within" you were talking about.
Not what I meant.
Now cut yourself free!
Uh, right.
(Grunting and groaning)
(Elevator bell rings)
Yo, big t,
what's all the racket down...
Chan.
Jade, run... Fly... Something!
Whoa!
Huh?
Get the girl.
Payback time, Jackson.
Nyah-nyah!
I hate fish.
Why fight when you can run?
You're learning.
This way!
(Elevator bell rings)
And when you can't run?
Don't watch.
Tcha. Like I'm not gonna watch.
Nooo!
Unh!
I can take him!
Hee-yah!
Uhhh-uhhh-ahh.
(Grunting)
Whoa!
Stop helping!
Stop helping!
Heh. Sorry.
Jackie!
Gotta hit tohru
with the biggest
thing I can find...
Himself!
Hoowahh!
Huh?
(Grunts) He's big.
Can't hold much longer.
Oh, no.
(Grunts) Unh.
Whoa!
Heh, sorry.
I'm telling you,
uncle was right.
The talismans do
possess magic powers.
Of course they do, Jackie.
Now,
why don't you get some sleep.
All my stuff?
How'd it get here?
Until we can take
down the dark hand,
it's safer for you
here inside section 13.
I hope it feels like home.
But... What about uncle?
Good magic is stronger
than bad magic.
He refused to move.
Something about
messing up his feng
shui something.
Uncle is very stubborn.
Stomach successfully pumped.
(Groaning)
Cock-a-doodle-do.
What about her?
I trust you'll keep
your niece in check.
(Jade gasps)
Does this mean I'm
a secret agent?
No! No!
Ohh!
Emmanuel: Hey, Jackie.
Why do you do all your
own stunts in your movies?
I was doing stunts
so many years.
The audience see the
actor or the bad guy...
They do all the stunts,
then the audience just clapped.
Then I look at my friend,
"hey, that's not the actor.
That's me."
Then I promised myself, one day,
when I become a star,
I want to do my own stunts.
I will turn around,
let the audience see that's me,
that's not the double.
And also, I want to show my
children, my grandchildren,
look, that's your grandfather.
That's your... your father.
And besides...
I just like it.
