Editorial Review: Description: This action-packed adventure film brings the international superstar to the mean street of America's toughest neighborhood. Performing all of his own stunts, Hong Kong veteran Jackie Chan comes alive on the screen! Year: 1995 Director: Stanley Tong Starring: Jackie Chan, Anita Mui, Francoise Yip Amazon.com essential video: Jackie Chan plays a visitor to America who agrees to fend off a biker gang's designs on his uncle's market in the Bronx. If you can get past the Vancouver skyline substituting for the New York City neighborhood, and the cheesy dubbing job, this is another of Chan's startling, balletic takes on martial arts action. (It's also his first breakthrough American film.) Even if you don't have an interest in fight films, this is worth seeing just for Chan's endless grace as a body in motion. The DVD release has optional full-screen and widescreen presentations, Dolby sound, theatrical trailer, and background on the stars and production.--Tom Keogh Amazon.com: Jackie Chan finally conquered America with Rumble in the Bronx. If the mildly contorted English dialogue sounds peculiarly foreign and disembodied (most of it is dubbed), and the mountains of Vancouver, BC don't convincingly double for the skyline of New York City, well, peculiarities like these actually contribute something to the movie's ingenuous charm. With his disarming smile and feline physicality, the compact Chan radiates star quality. But there's more to him than charisma: at his best, the actor combines the relentlessly escalating, hyperkinetic action set-pieces for which Hong Kong is famous; the rigorous martial arts training of his idol, Bruce Lee; and the grace and daring that distinguish Buster Keaton's physical comedy. Chan also shares some of Keaton's cinematic integrity, which dictated that you shouldn't cheat the audience by faking stunts, on the set or in the editing room. Like Keaton, Chan does his own stunts, and you can see that it really is him jumping off a bridge onto a speeding boat, or clinging to the dangling ladder of a helicopter as the hostile pilot tries to shake him loose by smashing him into the sides of skyscrapers. Not that it matters, really, but the plot of Rumble in the Bronx has something to do with Chan helping the woman who has taken over his uncle's neighborhood market when she is harassed by local hoodlums. What really matters is Chan, and he's in fine form. Rumble in the Bronx doesn't rank with his best work, but it's a swell introduction to a unique star. And those stunt outtakes over the end credits are as delightfully spellbinding as ever. "See?" Chan seems to say every time he breaks a rib or twists an ankle (which happens often). "I'm doing this all for you." --Jim Emerson Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - 2 out of 4.I am not a die hard fan by any stretch so the movie can only get up to a 4 unless they use really great writing staff...but what I am most disappointed with is the cardboard case..they really should mention what the case is made out of...... Rating: - silly but fun jackie chan flickI have watched this movie so many times that the ridiculous dubbing and laughable characters seem to fit this movie well for what it is. Jackie Chan has never been involved in any real seriously made films, so those are just things you come to expect (especially when dealing with dubbed verisons). This is another film thats all about the fun factor, and just having a good hour and half dedicated to some great stunts and chases that Chan goes great lengths to provide. In addition to ...

Driving motorcycles over cars will always be cool in my book. Don't expect the deepest movie in the world, but do expect a quality martial arts film. Rating: - Goog Kung-Fu ComedyI don't like Kung Fu comedies, but this is a good one. The fights are good, only the ending is a silly piece of action. Rating: - Wonderfully entertainingFirst, a disclaimer. If you take your cinematography seriously, if you are looking for good acting and a realistic story, this is not the movie for you. But if you enjoy slapstick comedy and a martial arts expert who pushes creativity to a higher level than anyone else, then Jackie Chan's Rumble in the Bronx is the movie for you! The premise of the story is as follows: a young man flies in from Hong Kong to attend his uncle's wedding and to help him with the sale of his store. But during ...
