Trivia[]

  • The title of this episode is a reference to the 1935 comedy film of the same name.
  • The Peking Opera stage group featured in this episode is the "Seven Little Fortunes", which the real life Jackie Chan was once a part of.
  • Uncle reveals that the farmer in the story is named Lau Xing, which was coincidentally the name of Jackie's character in the 2004 film Around the World in 80 Days, released almost exactly a year after the airing of this episode.
  • At the beginning of the episode, Jackie can be seen studying an artifact almost identical to the Kyoto Octopus from the Season 2 episode The Mother of All Battles.

Errors[]

  • This episode may not be accurate to the historical background of Through the Rabbit Hole and the episodes interpretation of Uncle's history with magic. In the opera episode, Wing and Uncle note that the time between Uncle's leave and their reunion is 60 years apart. Attentively this is because of Uncle's departure of the opera in favor of chi magic. The interpretation of Through the Rabbit Hole when Jade travels back in time to 1976, showing Uncle had no slight acknowledgement that magic had even existed by that time. This opens up two blunders, as he had worked in the theatre as a kid meaning he should've known of the existence of magic. Another complication would also mean the 60 year time gap would happen a few years after The Rabbit Hole, as Jade notes in the episode it was a few years after where Uncle would finally learn magic. However the interpretation of the Rabbit Hole is that Jackie is around Jade's age by the time (11-12), meaning Jackie would be around 72 by the events of the show. Furthermore with Into the Rabbit Hole taking place in 1976, with at least 60 years passing would the current events of the show take place at least by 2036, despite the technology illustrating only early 2000s.
