* RuthlessRooftops: Stage 4 happens across the rooftops, as the player has to time their jumps right, leap over awnings to advance, and climb metal ladders to access new areas. Some of the local dangers are vertical vents that can blow Jackie Chan off from the platform.

* DestinationDefenestration: Dante the FinalBoss is defeated using this method in the final penthouse stage. After a lengthy fight, Jackie emerged victorious, finds his grandpa locked in a closet, before grandpa shouts a warning. Turns out Dante isn't quite defeated yet, and lunges at Jackie, but Jackie then backflips Dante through the penthouse's windows. (This particular moment gets spoofed in the HilariousOuttakes with Jackie getting flatted by the huge Dante and someone shouting "CUT!" in the background).

\nThe game's plot is as easy as the films starring the same actor: Jackie, a delivery boy, receives a "mysterious package", but before he can open it, his grandfather gets abducted by a local crime boss, Dante, who demands the package from Jackie as ransom. On a rescue mission, Jackie will travel across several levels set in New York, including Chinatown, the waterfronts, sewers, rooftops and finally confronting Dante in his penthouse.

Along the way, Jackie can collect several Red Dragon heads, important MacGuffin artifacts that can give him access to a secret level after the game is over.

Added DiffLines:

* ApologeticAttacker: Jackie, in several fight scenes, often tells his opponents that he "doesn't want to hurt anyone" or they should "sit down and discuss this as two gentlemen."

----
!! This Game contain examples of:

* OneUp: Jackie can collect extra lives in hard-to-reach secret areas, which are depicted as black clapperboards.
* {{Acrofatic}}: Most of the bosses, including the Chef, Terry Clown, and Dante, are HUGE in size, and puts up one heck of a fight against Jackie. It's very likely a homage to the various GiantMook opponents Chan have to face in [[Film/PoliceStory many]] [[Film/CityHunter of his]] [[Film/DragonsForever films]].
* ActorAllusion: Well, you are playing as Jackie Chan, after all...
** The tent-drop from rooftops is a clear ''Film/ProjectA'' homage.
** Jackie fighting on a train, much like the climax of ''Film/SuperCop''. But this time ''without'' Michelle Yeoh's help!
** The Chinatown kitchen fight seems to be lifted from the first ''Film/RushHour''.
** The Shaolin Temple level, an all-too blatant reference to ''Film/The36thChamberOfShaolin'' (what with Jackie going through the monks and training through the obstacles). He even gets a power-up in the form of alcohol, just like ''Film/DrunkenMaster''!
* AdvancingWallOfDoom: Jackie will face loads and loads of these in various levels. Trucks pursuing him in a narrow alley, railroads with subway trains, out-of-control vehicles...
* AllMonksKnowKungFu: The Shaolin monk mooks in the SecretLevel certainly does, which Jackie have to defeat to gain access to the temple's inner sanctums.
* AndYourRewardIsClothes: By collecting all the Golden Dragons, not only does Chan get to access the Shaolin Temple level, but he can unlock his ''Film/DrunkenMaster'' outfit from the movie of the same name, which players can wear instead of his white shirt if they chose to replay levels.
* CarryABigStick: Barney, the burly second boss in the waterfront level. Who uses a steel ''i-beam'' during his battle.
* DamageSponge: Jackie has an average-sized healthbar. The bosses on the other hand have healthbars that stretches from one end of the screen to another.
* DanceBattler: One of the last few bosses, a DiscoDan conveniently named Disco Danny. He fights with dance moves and is surprisingly fast on his feet, and is a LightningBruiser of a boss.
* DestinationDefenestration: Dante the FinalBoss is defeated using this method in the final penthouse stage. After a lengthy fight, Jackie emerged victorious, finds his grandpa locked in a closet, before grandpa shouts a warning. Turns out Dante isn't quite defeated yet, and lunges at Jackie, but Jackie then backflips Dante through the penthouse's windows. (This particular moment gets spoofed in the HilariousOuttakes with Jackie getting flatted by the huge Dante and someone shouting "CUT!" in the background).
* FightingClown: Terry Clown, the third boss. Ever seen Jackie Chan fighting a burly clown wearing boxing gloves?You ''will'' in this game.
* GottaCatchThemAll: Each level contains ten Red Dragon heads, and collecting all of them grants Jackie a Golden Dragon (it's difficult, some of them are quite well hidden or are placed in hard-to-reach corners prompting players to go ScrewThisImOuttaHere). It's NOT compulsory to collect all the Golden Dragons and players can defeat Dante and save grandpa without finishing this task, but doing so Jackie can unlock the SecretLevel, the Shaolin Temple.
* HandStomp: One of the cut scenes in the rooftop stages have Jackie slipping and HangingByTheFingers, just as a mook stomps on his hands causing Jackie to fall to a lower balcony, through a bunch of tarps, before landing in a crumpled heap. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation It doesn't change his life in any way and Jackie goes back none worse for wear after the cutscene]].
* HilariousOuttakes: Jackie Chan does this ''all the time'' to the extent that a video game in his likeness has them too!
* HyperactiveMetabolism: Jackie's health is replendished by eating food. Milk only adds a tiny fraction of health, while rice can restore nearly half. Noodles, being Jackie's TrademarkFavouriteFood (if the opening cinematics is an indicator) can bring Jackie's health from near-kaput to maximum.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Being a video game starring Jackie freakin' Chan... [[DieChairDie tables, chairs]], [[ImprobableWeaponUser buckets, paintbrushes]], [[BroomstickQuarterstaff brooms]], [[FryingPanOfDoom pots and pans]], basically Jackie can turn any object he grabbed into weapons.
* JustifiedExtraLives: If the final cutscene is any indication, and that the extra lives are clapperboards, that means the entire game is just a movie starring Jackie as the main actor, and each of Jackie's "deaths" are just another take.
* LethalChef: The very first boss of the game is a chef who beats up Jackie using ladles and saucepans. Luckily his kitchen has food, which Jackie can collect to replendish health if his life is dangerously low.
* RailingKill: Well, he's not "killing" anyone, per se (it's Jackie Chan, nobody dies from a punch) but Jackie can pull this off on opponents in areas with railings. It becomes ''really'' convenient in the waterfront level where Jackie can just toss mooks into the water.
* RailroadTracksOfDoom: In the waterfront and subway levels, Jackie ends up landing on a set of railways. And then, comes the sound of an approaching train...
* RoaringRampageOfRescue: The game's plot is kicked off by Jackie's grandfather being abducted by Dante and his lieutenants, and Jackie have to track down and defeat them one-by-one to get his grandpa back.
* {{Roofhopping}}: The rooftop levels, naturally, have Jackie leaping through the roofs of New York's buildings, and risk losing a life if he didn't quite make the jump.
* SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou: Jackie Chan is about to kick the player through the game's cover.
* SecretLevel: The Shaolin Temple, accessible if Jackie managed to collect ten Golden Dragons. This HundredPercentCompletion task is perfectly optional though.
* TraintopBattle: The subway levels have Jackie fighting mooks while atop a moving train, and then jumping to an adjacent train [[LowClearance when a tunnel approaches]]. The entire sequence is as frustratingly difficult as it sounds.
* UniqueEnemy: There's a handful of kitchen staff in red during the Chinatown fight who attacks Jackie in one specific area in the first level, and nowhere else.
* WakeUpCallBoss: Terry Clown, the third boss, provides a far more difficult fight than the Chef or Barney, with his life bar being noticeably tougher to deplete, and his {{Acrofatic}} moves hitting faster than the previous two. What makes him a headache is that he's also assisted by a mime who can lock Jackie in position, so Jackie have to move ''real quick'' to prevent getting pummeled to scrap by Terry.
