This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In his autobiography, I am Jackie Chan: My life in Action, Jackie Chan talked about the initial difficulty of filming a movie in Vancouver, British Columbia that is set in New York City. The production team initially had to put up fake graffiti during the day, and take it all down during the evening, while simultaneously making sure that no mountains made it into the background. However, Chan decided that it was best that the production team focus on the action only, without worrying too much about scenery. Viewers have noted mountains in the background, which doesn't exist in the New York City landscape. Expand

Jackie Chan is one of the most entertaining performers of all time, and while this movie definitely utilizes his physical abilities in downright jaw-dropping ways, his personality very rarely comes through in the other, quieter moments. It doesn’t help that the dialogue and story are just plain bad at times, further accentuated by the awkward dubbing of the actors. (Every single line was re-recorded for the American release of the film, even the English speaking actors were dubbed over. It’s awkward and distracting.) The story is nonsensical and jarring, presumably because of the numerous edits made for the film’s American release. But I can’t imagine it ever being very good even without the edits. Overall, it’s an entertaining one-time watch because of its action, a crisp 90 minute runtime, and some ironic enjoyment of its lame parts, but not something I plan on revisiting. Expand

Néanmoins le rythme demeure excellent tout du long, battu et mené par Monsieur Chan, le "fou volant", qui multiplie les cascades de cinglé et les coups d'éclat qui laissent pantois : là, je dis, "Monsieur" Chan et je tire mon chapeau. Certes, c'est une habitude chez lui mais tout de même !

La réalisation est soignée et permet d'apprécier à leur juste valeur les péripéties de l'acteur avec en bonus annexe (on ne la voit pas autant qu'on le voudrait) la brillante Anita Mui. Bien que perfectible, un divertissement qui reste d'une belle qualité.

Just pure Jackie Chan fun.

Great stunts, fun comedy, awesome fighting, cheesy as hell. It's a blast. It perhaps feels a bit too american at times, but the Hong kong martial arts spirit is still there, even in the streets of New York

It perhaps feels a bit too american at times, but the Hong kong martial arts spirit is still there, even in the streets of New York (totally not Vancouver).

Just sit back and enjoy.

Bravo to Jim and bravo Man on the Moon a movie for anyone who appreciates good drama, comedy, and a person who was so revolutionary in both that he was never was appreciated for what he did but now we can appreciate it.

The movie is very politically correct in the beginning. The story is stupid and simple, the characters are one-sided. The audio is bad and doesnt fit to the faces.
Only the stunts and skills from Jackie Chan are impressive.
I was disappointed

Not everyone shares the same set of criteria. If we did, what a bland and uninspired world this would be.

What I Personally Liked About "Rumble in the Bronx":
Let's face it. The action takes the cake in a film like this. Jackie Chan is known for hard-hitting, fast-paced sequences involving tight choreography and reflexes a cheetah would be proud to possess. Jackie was at the peak of his powers in this production and it shows. He is a greased lightning bolt streaking across the screen and demolishing everyone and everything that gets in his way. It doesn't hurt that Jackie did his own stunts as well, showing a dedication to his craft that few action masters could muster. Chan's enthusiasm is another infectious reason to enjoy this rollicking romp. It's obvious he loves being on screen, he loves entertaining, he loves going out with all guns blazing at all times. His happiness at being part of a movie such as this is one more separation from the dime-a-dozen action heroes we were subjected to during the late eighties/early nineties. One has to thank Jackie for freeing us from the muscle-bound style of action that had been so dominant in the United States at that time.

What I Personally Disliked About "Rumble in the Bronx":
From time to time, "Rumble" has a tendency to place too much emphasis on cultural stereotypes to try and enhance its humor. This is a mistake. It robs the film of some of its vitality by taking the easy road. In addition, the finale of the film has a kind of "look at me, see what I can do" vibe where the concept of over-the-top becomes par for the course. It just seems to collapse under its own weight. Naturally, cutting a quarter of an hour from the motion picture for its American release was also not a smart move. It just shows that American executives have no clue when it comes to releasing foreign pictures here in the States. Even in the mid-nineties, the sort of fan who would have appreciated this film the most would have been the one who wanted to see the unedited version, not the cut-and-dub we have here.

My Overall Impression of "Rumble in the Bronx":
It will never be mistaken for Shakespeare, but as a straight action yarn it is fairly solid entertainment. You could do a whole lot worse in the realm of martial arts movies than this.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rumble in the bronx will give you a fantastic time and thats all it needs to do. Is it insane? Yes, its completely insane. It has so much charm but damn it feel like such a mess at times. The highlights of the film are of course its great action sequences especially the market fight scene. The story is stupid but it doesn't matter, the dialogue is dull but it also doesn't matter. If you are looking for dumb fun this is EXACTLY what you are looking for. terrible movie.... 7/10 Expand
