Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
adonis98-743-186503 A young man visiting and helping his uncle in New York City finds himself forced to fight a street gang and the mob with his martial art skills. Rumble in the Bronx is one of Jackie Chan's most underrated works, the fight sequences were incredible as they always are when he is on screen. The comedy was also quite well done and well executed and that scene with the bottles jeez it felt like a horror movie. His chemistry with the little kid was also really good and added some levity to his character and pretty much the film it self. Overall really one of his most underrated projects alongside the Rush Hour Trilogy and The Foreigner that was released last year, totally recommending it!! (10/10)
Fluke_Skywalker Plot; A man from China visits the U.S. for his Uncle's wedding and runs afoul of a local gang and a group of diamond thieves.Aside from Cannonball Run, this was my first exposure to Jackie Chan. New Line Cinema snagged the rights to this 1995 Hong Kong hit and released it internationally (After trimming about 15 minutes off of its runtime) the following year. Grossing over $30 million in N. America, it became Chan's breakthrough in the States and several such re-releases would follow. But it's Rumble in the Bronx that has always stood out. Playing like an 8-bit side-scrolling beat 'em up, Bronx is not high art, but it is a perfect showcase for both Chan's incredible physical gifts and his deft comedic talents. For a Chan purist this probably barely rates as a shrug, but back in February of 1996 I sat in a theater filled with people getting their first taste of Chan and having the time of their lives in the process.
Fella_shibby I remember seeing this film in Regal theatre, Colaba, Mumbai in 1996. The stunts were simply amazing and if one were to watch today for the first time, they need to know: Jackie did them all himself, without cables, etc. The movie is a very entertaining one to watch that gets better as it progresses. There is a scene where Jackie takes a leap from the roof of one building into a balcony of the adjacent building. (Jason Bourne copied from this). Jackie Chan provides some of the best fight scenes in this film with lots of cool jaw dropping stunts. And you got to love the little film at the end of the movie showing Jackie do all the stunts. This film showed some of Jackies best stunt work. The hovercraft action scene was also good. Directed by Stanley Tong (Police story 3, 4).
BA_Harrison Kung fu expert Keung (Jackie Chan) travels from Hong Kong to New York to visit his uncle Bill (Bill Tung), who is to be married. After a run in with a local street gang, Keung is forced to use his martial arts skills to defend himself, but eventually finds himself forming an alliance with the leader of the thugs when the mob, who are searching for a missing cache of diamonds, becomes a common enemy.Jackie Chan had tried to crack the US market in the 80s, with US/HK co-productions Cannonball Run 1&2, The Big Brawl and The Protector, but it wasn't until 1995, with Rumble In The Bronx, that America finally wised up and began to pay serious attention to the the wacky martial arts star. Given the level of danger experienced by Jackie and his stunt crew in this crazy caper, it would have been rude not to… As Keung, Jackie gets to star in numerous brilliantly choreographed but still potentially life-threatening action/fight routines guaranteed to impress. Whether it be going up against baseball bat wielding thugs, leaping from a rooftop to a balcony, water-skiing barefoot behind a speedboat, or clinging perilously to a hovercraft as it ploughs through crowded streets, the Hong Kong superstar is on top form, making this amongst his most enjoyable and action packed cinematic outings.
