  Had 2 good stunts in it but as always the best bit is the Jackie Chan blooper reel at the end!

• Tsubaki S

  
  Very average stuff for Jackie standards, good fights and stunts. This introduced the man to America, which ended up being a cursed bless in many ways.

  this is one of my 2 or 3 favorite jackie chan flicks. it really turned me on to martial arts films and the action sequences were truly amazing. i liked chan better before he got too big in america.

  Chan's first big American breakthrough is simply not well executed, and lacks much of the humor of his other work, and what comedy there is is a bit lowbrow for Chan (Mooning the audience, a lady sitting on a toilet being exposed, etc.), especially when you realize the "Fist-Helmet-Wrench" sequence is much more his style. Still, plot and acting were never terribly important to Martial Arts films, and "Rumble in the Bronx" focuses on what people want to see: stunts. That, and running people over in hovercrafts.

  Jackie Chan rocks. Wow! What a non-stop fighting.

  One of the best of our times!! NO EQUAL!

  Far from his best work, it's still got some great set-pieces and Jackie flings himself around with the usual aplomb. The plot seriously stretches believability even by chop socky standards and the humour is a little crude, but it's inoffensive popcorn entertainment.

  When compared to Chan's Hong Kong efforts "Rumble in the Bronx" pales in comparison in many areas. In terms of Chan's American films "Rumble in the Bronx" is easily his best American film. Rumble in the Bronx tells the story of a young man visiting and helping his uncle in New York City finding himself forced to fight a street gang and the mob with his martial art skills. The subplots carry the narrative, but as a whole the story is unremarkable. There's no drama of any kind or buildup for any major scenes. It all runs at a brisk pace and it'll be over before you know it. It barely reaches the 90 minutes mark and in that amount of time it justifies some of the action scenes. It's not entirely brainless so when a fight occurs so it's more forgivable even if it was unneeded. It has an inconsistent tone. While it's not directly shown it is implied the villains did kill two people by putting them in wood-chippers. The ending also leaves something to be heavily desire. It just ends after without a proper closure on the story. The story contains enough material to sustain your interest for its short duration and Chan signature humor will get a laugh out of you. In terms of production it's clearly low budget, but the filmmakers made good use of what they had. Chan performs some dangerous stunts and while not as dangerous anything in his "Police Story" series. The stunts here are no less exciting. The fight choreography is typical Chan style and that's a good thing. Chan always knows how bring a different kind of energy into his fight scenes being able to incorporated humor without slowing the flow of the action. Since this is Chan you should expect nothing less but fast pace action with elaborate fight scenes and nice used of props. The dubbing on the other hand can get annoying. Some of the dubbing makes things unintentionally hilarious. The cast acting is nothing noteworthy, but do a decent job to not ruin the film when Chan's not on screen. Chan is in the leading role with the acting chops and martial art skills to make for one exciting action hero. Rumble in the Bronx is best watched when you got around 90 minutes to spare. It's not a memorable Martial Art movie, but it has enough here to entertain you and it's short run time makes sure it's over before it over stays its welcome.

  This movie has me crying "Uncle" 10 minutes in.

  The movie that made Jackie Chan a superstar in the American market. Good movie. This movie focuses on what people want to see: stunts and running people over in hovercrafts.

• Fascade F

  
  Jackie Cahn's proof that he is one of the best martial arts stuntman in the game. Worthy of watching for his incredible stunts.

  This is a good, not great, Jackie Chan film, with all the incredible stunts and fight sequences one would expect from the great martial artist. Jackie Chan comes to the Bronx for his uncle's wedding and is roped into helping out an awkward young woman who has bought his uncle's store He must face street thugs and mobsters in a series of out-of-this-world fights and death-defying stunts. Meanwhile, he befriends a young boy in a wheelchair who lives in his uncle's building. This boy's older sister happens to be a part of the gang, but she quits and the two of them become friends, much to the consternation of both the gang and Chan's new employer, the storekeeper who has set her sights on him. The best sequence is when Chan goes to the punks' hideout and challenges their leader to a fight; here, he gets to use his signature moves with anything at hand. It's definitely worth a watch for great stunts and absolutely amazing action sequences.
