![]() ![]() He can, however, understand sending a spell through the phone, but not a piece of paper (as Jackie put it in the Season 2 episode The Chan Who Knew Too Much). Uncle is not what one would call technology-savvy, since he does not understand devices such as faxes (he gets all his facts from books), laptops (calling Jade's a "magic waffle iron" in the Season 4 episode Half a Mask of Kung-Fu), and the World Wide Web. The same dream also actually happens to Uncle in the Season 1 episode The Dog and Piggy Show. It always ends with Uncle’s ghost using the two-fingered strike on him. Several times, when Jackie is unconscious, he dreams that a ghost head of Uncle is floating above him, telling him what’s going on and why he should get up. He has hit other characters such as Valmont, Captain Black, Tohru, Daolon Wong, Hsi Wu the Sky Demon and (on one occasion) himself - as he had blamed himself for a kidnapping of Tohru. Some examples include accusing El Toro Fuerte of being a thief trying to rob his store and claiming that a hotel was terrible because they did not have the ingredients necessary to create Uncle's Chi Spells.Ī running gag between Uncle and Jackie is when Jackie does something wrong, and Uncle hits him over the head with a two-fingered strike. Most of the time however, Uncle is correct about these conclusions - but some of these conclusions may either be wrong or absolutely ridiculous. Uncle is known for jumping to conclusions rather quickly. ![]() Digestion is of much concern to him, and his favorite food is a mung bean sandwich. His favorite drink is tea, but often complains that it’s too hot or cold, and always throws away the cup after a sip. Despite this, he is considered to be the wisest out of all the characters in the entire series. He is also portrayed as cranky and often complains about small things. As a very stereotypical Chinese man, Uncle often talks in third person about himself, draws out words in his speech and often uses Cantonese in many aspects of his speech. He is related to Jackie and Jade, though no one seems to be certain in what way. Uncle is known as "Sensei" (which is Japanese for teacher) by Tohru, and as "Uncle" by everyone else. The difference was that he had black hair and wore a black long-sleeved, collared shirt under a white vest, white pants, and black dress shoes.Īs a toddler, Uncle originally started with brown hair before he dyed it black. In his younger years, Uncle looked almost the same as his old-self in terms of body structure, facial features, and hairstyle. He also wears small, round, armless glasses on the bridge of his nose. His main outfit consists of white polo under a yellow polyester vest, blue jeans, and brown dress shoes. ![]() ![]() He has grey hair that appears to spike in many directions. 6.5/10 for me.Uncle is portrayed as an old man of average height and a skinny build. Anyway all in all I was mostly entertained and that's why we watch these kind of movies after all and it's worth watching it to see Jackie Chan sing Adelé alone. But I guess that makes it feel a bit like the classic early 90's Jackie Chan movies where they did similar things for the international versions. I'm guessing the studio thought that Johnny Knoxville fans couldn't handle reading too many subtitles so they dubbed every other scene that was Mandarin sometimes more obvious than others (in the first dubbed scene they avoid the obviousness by simply picking shots that avoid the lips of the cast when they speak). There was some dubbed scenes in the first 20 minutes where they clearly weren't speaking English as they would have had no reason to being just Chinese present but luckily that didn't last too long. Okay, the plot is a little bit all over the place at times but it still had some pretty neat fights (Jackie Chan always delivers some good stunts for his films) and some fun humor (often within said fight scenes). ![]()
