Leave your thoughts about Rumble in the Bronx.
| San Francisco ExaminerBarry WaltersRumble in the Bronx has the explosive escapades that Stallone/Schwarzenegger followers crave - hair-raising free falls, hovercrafts out of control, crazed turf wars, collapsing buildings, gun-happy gangsters and other boy-film staples - plus the kind of oddball comedy and independent spirit usually found only outside the current Hollywood empire. Chan is a true artist of a genre that ordinarily does all it can to avoid art. |
| Sacramento BeeJoe BaltakeThe film may look amateurish, but the camera-work is fluid, the best to catch Chan's choreography. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaGreat action strung together by the weakest of plots. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordYes, the production values for support acting, dubbing, and photography are marginal, at best. But, the stunts and action sequences are a breath of fresh air when compared to the bloated, hi-tech Hollywood actioners we're seeing. |
| San Francisco ExaminerJeffrey M. AndersonGreat fun despite cheap, shoddy production and dubbing. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe whole point is Jackie Chan - and, like Astaire and Rogers, he does what he does better than anybody. |
| TIME MagazineRichard CorlissYou watch these impossible stunts with fear and gratitude for the hardest-working man in show biz. To see your first Jackie Chan movie is to fall in love with what the movies once were: a comic ballet of bodies in motion. |
| Goatdog's MoviesMichael W. Phillips, Jr.All of Chan's movies are dumb fun, and this was no exception. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasSome dizzyingly exciting action marks Chan's stateside debut. |
| Detroit NewsSusan StarkMore than a martial arts whiz, the 41-year-old Chan possesses the comic timing of a born clown, the grace of a Broadway hoofer and the daredevil bravado of an Evel Knievel. |
