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 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.
