Rumble In The Bronx Reviews

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!

Surprisingly entertaining

Now, there is some definite 80s tacky filming. But, and this is a large butt, there is some fantastic choreography and athletic ability performed by Jackie throughout.

Secondly, Jackie gets totally trashed, which is very rare within his films encouraging him only to come back stronger (and with a JCB or extremely large truck – cannot remember which).

Hire this for fun, it is worth your time, but remember to watch it light-heartedly!

Rumble In Vancouver ?

This is the film that gets the credit for breaking Jackie Chan to the American/Western audiences. The more knowledgeable would already know that this film comes around 25 years into a very prolific career.

This is the story of a Chinese man who visits his Uncle in New York to apartment sit for him while he goes on his honeymoon. While in New York he gets into trouble with street gangs at first, and then brushes with organised crime. This was shot in Vancouver, and looks nothing like New York at all, but I can forgive that. The budgets are never that big with Asian action films.

A steady mix of of stunts and fights, this deservedly got Jackie noticed by a wider audience, but lets be honest, he has made better film than this. The dubbing is pretty bad, and the hovercraft chase at the end is a bit of a let down in place of "the big fight". In the end, this is above average for many an action star, but a little below par for Mr Chan. Still, a film to recommend.

I do like the use of Ash's "Kung Fu" on the closing credits that feature some great outtakes and accidents.

Kung Fu

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

Rumble In Vancouver ?

This is the film that gets the credit for breaking Jackie Chan in America. The story of a Chinese man who visits New York to apartment sit for his Uncle while he goes on his Honeymoon and gets mixed up with street gangs and then gangsters. This was shot in Vancouver, and looks nothing like New York at all, but we can forgive that.

A steady mix of stunts and fights, this deservedly got Jackie Chan credit in the U.S.A., but let's be honest, he has made far better films than this. The dubbing is pretty bad, and the hovercraft chase at the end is a bit of a let down.

In the end this is above average action for many, but below par for Jackie Chan. I do like the use of Ash's 'Kung Fu' on the closing credits/outtakes though.

Try and read my lips!

Probably the worst dubbing of all time. Made me laugh to start with then became a pain in the arse. The action isnt to bad as we all know Jackie Chan can throw himself about and kick some arse. Listen out for pointless background music that is so out of place. Worth a watch but dont expect to much.

Stunts about the only thing worth watching

I watched the film last night and was amazed at how poor the acting, stereotyping and dubbing were. It literally takes every type of ridiculous situation and tries to cram it into the film, resulting in a chaotic and confusing movie which progressively gets worse.

jackie chan rules again

ive always been a fan of jackie chans i first watched this movie when i was about 10 when i ill and loved it and still love it to this day.

theres just somthing about this movie that makes it so great.

everyone should see this movie.its good for a laugh and to relax

A definte must

I vividly remember watching this film years ago and didn't think it would be as good as i remembered. Well i was wrong, an absolutely brilliant film.

The fighting & stunt scenes were excellentlly shot.

This is the type of Jackie Chan film that keeps me a fan.

Keep them coming........
