Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

classicsoncall Probably the most impressive thing about "Rumble in the Bronx" is the choreography involved in Jackie Chan's fight scenes and general stunt work. Besides his acrobatic fighting style, one bears witness to the incredible use of props Jackie puts to use in the way he takes down bad guys. The other thing that's quite noticeable in the picture is how Chan gets to take his share of lumps as well as dishing it out. That's kind of commendable for an action star, who's ego isn't so large that he can't be shown messing up or getting beat up in a situation where he's overwhelmed. The scene that really floored me was when the black suit gang rigged up the New Wa Ha Supermarket with chains to tear the whole place down; that was quite outrageous. But probably no more outrageous than that hovercraft scene that seemed to come out of nowhere for a resounding finale. If you get a chance to watch the movie, stick around for the after credits that include some of the 'stunts gone bad' footage. You'll see Jackie Chan missing some of his marks and winding up hurt for real. What can you say about the guy, he puts every effort into making things look as realistic as possible.

a_chinn After several unsuccessful attempts to introduce Jackie Chan to American audiences (i.e. "Battle Creek Brawl, "Cannonball Run," "The Protector"), this is the one that finally made him a name in the United States. What made this one work compared to those earlier attempts is that this was a Hong Kong production where Jackie had creative control, which allowed him to do what he does best; mixing martial arts, comedy, and jaw-dropping stunts. It probably also helped that the film was set in New York City with a largely Anglo cast, though the movie was clearly filmed elsewhere given the mountainous Vancouver, BC rockies surrounding this imaginary NYC. The story revolves around Jackie coming to town and helping protect a shopkeeper from neighborhood thugs. It's basically "Death Wish 3" but with Jackie Chan. The fight sequences are amazing, the humor is funny, and the stunt work is amazing (including Jackie jumping between buildings without a harness, Jackie riding a motorcycle over the top of parked cars,, and Jackie being run over by a hovercraft!). The story and characters are all pretty paper thin, but Jackie is spectacular!

namashi_1 In this fast-paced action-packed ride, 2016 Recipient of The Honourary Academy-Award, Jackie Chan displays excellence. With mesmerizing comfort in material arts, genuine feeling in light moments & comic timing so neat, that only Jim Carrey could envy, Chan is an absolute delight in this 1990's blockbuster. I revisited it after years & still found myself in awe.'Rumble in the Bronx' Synopsis: 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 crisp, violent, funny & entirely engaging. The story moves on a feverish pace & the series of events that happen with our unbeatable hero, are arresting all through. The Writing is neat & Stanley Tong's Direction stays to the point. The Action-Sequences/Martial Arts Combats are FANTASTIC. Chan is at the top of his game here, and as mentioned before, his excellence rules the show. The supporting cast too, put in sincere, committed performances.On the whole, This one remains a winner!

jcallows This movie is about a boy and his quest for a new cushion. Watch it for its creative fight scenes and for that girl who plays the boy's sister. Watch it also to laugh at the atrocious acting and dialog. Other than that, there's really no reason to watch. This film is basically a bunch of action sequences strung together with some dialog in between. The dialog can be summed up as "where are the diamonds?", "give me the diamonds!" and, of course, "someone stole my cushion!" But the action is where this film excels. As is the custom in all Jackie Chan films, this film is loaded with creative martial arts fighting and spectacular stunts.This film is definitely fun to watch. But it's kind of like watching porn. You will be tempted to fast forward through all the dialog to get to the good parts.
