Jackie Chan Adventures Vol. 2: The Dark Hand Returns: I was at Big Lots a couple months back and I was browsing their small collection of DVDs seeing what closeouts I could find when I happened across two volumes of Jackie Chan Adventures. Naturally they didn't have Volume 1 but I picked up 2 and 3 nonetheless.
I had heard of JCA ever since it was originally broadcast. While I love Jackie Chan's films, I avoided this show as I believed it would be something in the awful mold of other celebrity to cartoon series and in one sense I was right. On the other hand the show does deliver in the form of action and a story that is palatable for the average 8-12 year old.
Drunken Master fans may want to avoid this but it's not awful; it's just not that special.
