The Chan Who Knew Too Much is the forty-seventh episode of Jackie Chan Adventures.

Synopsis[]

Stonehenge has been mysteriously stolen. Jackie and Jade travel to England on an archaeological dig, and encounter a secret society that plans to destroy the modern world.

Summary[]

Jackie and Jade present Uncle with a fax machine, but Uncle is uncertain about the new piece of technology. Jade picks up a newspaper, intending to show him how the machine works, when she spots the headline about Stonehenge's mysterious disappearance. She urges Jackie to investigate, but he insists that they leave it to "the proper authorities". He then reveals to Jade that he is taking her on an archaeological trip, and they end up exploring a medieval castle near London, England.

While exploring the ancient site, Jackie accidentally trips a hidden switch and ends up falling through a trap door before landing in a secret chamber where he encounters a mysterious circle of hooded wizards. Declaring that Jackie knows too much, they attempt to smite him by casting powerful blasts of magic from their hands. Attempting to flee, Jackie is pursued by the wizards through their stronghold until he ends up running into Jade, with the pair eventually making their escape. Emerging into the city, Jackie attempts to call Captain Black for help, but Black's skeptic superiors have prohibited him from providing support. Suddenly, the pair are bundled into an alleyway by more of the mysterious wizards, who they learn are called Magisters. Amidst the scuffle, Jackie grabs a medallion from around the neck of one of the Magisters that bears the insignia of their order. Jackie and Jade attempt to fax a picture of the insignia to Uncle, but he reacts violently as the paper begins coming through.

Fleeing yet another group of Magisters, Jackie and Jade find a policeman, but he proves to be a member of the group as well. After a brief altercation, he summons several other civilian Magisters, forcing Jackie and Jade to take refuge in the Tower of London. They find themselves cornered and end up in a fight with the four Magisters using medieval weapons, before the disguised villains begin using magic. Escaping yet again, the two decide to return to the Magisters' fortress to figure out what they're hiding.

Jackie discovers that the Brotherhood of Magisters are an ancient order dating back to the Dark Ages, while Jade uncovers a hidden chamber holding the stolen Stonehenge, revealing that the Magisters are responsible for its theft. Before Jackie can notify Uncle, his phone is destroyed by a sudden blast of magic as the Magisters encroach on their position and capture them. The pair are then informed by the order's leader that Stonehenge is a magical weapon of great power. The Magisters intend to use it to destroy various cities across the globe and usher in a new Dark Age for them to rule over. Fortunately, as they are preparing to unleash their first magical attack upon London, Jackie and Jade escape their bonds and begin interfering.

Jade manages to get Uncle on the phone while Jackie fights the Magisters, and Uncle sends spells through the phone to neutralize the Magisters' magic. However, the Head Magister completes the spell, but Stonehenge fails to destroy London as anticipated. Suddenly, British military forces then arrive and take the Magisters into custody, with Jackie pledging to give a full account on the Magisters' misdeeds. As the convoy drives away, with Jade bemoaning the continued mystery of Stonehenge's purpose, an alien spacecraft descends upon it...

Notable Quotes[]

Jackie: (to Jade about the Magisters) We have to get help before they find us again.
Jade: Tch, from who? We’re fresh out of proper authorities. (She then stops running, and Jackie also stops before turning to look back at her) Anybody here could be another Magister. Captain Black has magic issues. The only person who will help us is Uncle — and he can’t even use a fax machine!
Jackie: You’re right — we are on our own. (smiles mischievously) So we had better find out exactly what they don’t want us to know.


Jackie: (about Uncle, when Uncle uses his “Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao” chant to counter the Magisters’ magic through the cell phone Jade is holding) He can understand sending a spell through the telephone, but not a piece of paper?
