Rumble In The Bronx

After years as the biggest star in Asia, Jackie Chan (abetted by his able collaborator director Stanley Tong) took North America by storm in 1996 with RUMBLE IN THE BRONX, the first Hong Kong film to make it to number one at the U.S. box office. Keung (Chan) visits his uncle in the Bronx and ends up helping protect a local grocery store from thugs. A beautiful neighbor's involvement with the gang catapults Keung into even more trouble, and it will take all of his wits--and whiplike kicks--to save himself. The film introduced Chan's original combination of masterful martial arts and goofy comedy to a widespread American audience. As in other Chan movies, blooper scenes run during the credits, showcasing the hilarious and disastrous blunders made during filming and revealing that Chan, who performs all his own stunts, seems willing to take mind-boggling risks to create his distinctive brand of celluloid magic.

    It may be clumsily dubbed and have Vancouver standing in for New York, but this typical Jackie Chan outing is very entertaining, nevertheless. Chan stars as a Hong Kong policeman visiting the Big Apple, where he joins his uncle in seeing off a gang of doltish villains. As ever, there's plenty of thrilling action, but Chan always manages to invest his set pieces with an element of balletic humour, so that you feel you are watching violent slapstick rather than an expertly executed martial art. Anita Mui and Françoise Yip are big stars back in Hong Kong, but, sadly, they are given little room for manoeuvre here.

  • "...Chan is a practiced and acrobatic marital arts operative, so quick and lethal with hands and feet he was once groomed as the likely successor to kick-meister Bruce Lee..."

    What a waste!

    Although a Jackie Chan fan, this has gotta be one of his worst films apart from his documentry on his life. I had to turn it off after 15 minutes, it was so bad. I'd sooner have a hot chocolate!

    Kung Fu

    If you like Jackie Chan. This is a great movie. A little dated but good entertainment.
