 | As I stated before, I have a fabulous thing called "Digital Cable". One night I was flippin through the channels and this movie was on. I could only watch so much of it before I had to turn it off because the voice dubbing was way off. Sometimes that happens with "Digital Cable", but it usually it will right itself in the end. As I watched for about a half an hour I could not take it anymore. I tried everything to fix it including switching channels, turning on and off the TV, and things of that nature. I even went as far as calling Comcast and complaining, but even that was a wasted effort. I eventually had to turn it off because I was a hairs-width away from haymakering Morris.
Well, even though Comcast ruined my viewing experience so far, when I was at Blockbuster I decided to give it another chance. I know I mentioned that the lead actor could not act but I thought I could look past this, because it might not be completely his fault. For one the visuals could be slightly off like the voices, or it might be because it's his first movie. Who knows but Howard's mind was made up. "Rumble in the Bronx" was to be rented. From what I saw so far on "Digital Cable", I possibly found a person I could call my mentor, when I enter the world of stuntmen.
When I returned home I threw the DVD in the DVD Player and guess what? The DVD was messed up as well, the voice dubbing was totally off key as it was on "Digital Cable". I raced back to Blockbusters and returned it and grabbed another copy, telling them this DVD was broken. I returned home again and tried to watch it. "WHAT THE HECK!?" I yelled, "IS THE WORLD AGAINST HOWARD TUTTLEMAN!?" You guessed it that DVD was messed up as too. I even tried it out on another DVD Player and it proved to me that the run of DVDs Blockbuster has were all messed up. I got so frustrated that I threw the DVD out the window (I rented it on my father's card so there is no recourse to me).
After I cooled down alittle bit by blasting away on my harmonica, I was still determined to see this movie. I ran up to Best Buy in Troy, and I found a copy. I asked the servant that was working in the movie section if this is the most updated and newest version, hoping that it was a new pressing. I was happy with his answer and purchased it. Well I returned home and made up some popcorn and grabbed a pop. I put the DVD in the DVD Player and dimmed the lights. Finally, Tuttleman will have his moment.
Well to keep this clean and short, let me say that, that night ended with a baseball bat, three (3) stitches in my hand, a broken window, and a hefty grounding-sentence(we are talking WEEKS here). In Conclusion, some movies can't be good, no matter how cool the stuntman, this movie should be pulled off the shelves because it could possibly start a riot. Later.

| This is one of the best Jackie Chan movies of the 90s, with some very exciting fights and stunts. I strongly recommend that you seek a Hong Kong version of this film. The Hong Kong version includes some scenes that were cut out of the American film. Those scenes make the story much more coherent. Moreover, the English subtitles in the HK version are less distracting than the bad dubbing of the American version. |

| RUMBLE IN THE BRONX is ridiculous. Oh...I won't fault the film for inaccurately portraying the Bronx by shooting the film in Vancouver B.C., nor will I fault it for its awful audio tracking. Heck! I won't even fault it for its lack of plot and character development. Honestly, with a film like this, who cares? One watches a Jackie Chan film for one reason and one reason alone: to see a martial-arts superstar perform his inventive, funny, and innovative fight sequences from start to finish. You watch it to see a man perform all of his own stunts, stunts that would make even a professional balk. In RUMBLE IN THE BRONX, Chan vaults up fences, jet skis on his own shoes, and jumps across a street from one building to another. That's right, guys. He jumps from a freakin' building. No ropes. No padding. No nothing.
If you are a fan of Jackie Chan movies, you have to check out the movie that allowed him to break into the American market. It is a classic martial arts film and a lot of fun. The fight sequences are terrific. I have seen the film several times and it has never gotten old. And, as always, you have to stick around for the credits, where we are treated to the outtakes from film. Here, we get to see some of Chan's less "successful" stunts, proving to us beyond a doubt that Chan is the real deal. RUMBLE IN THE BRONX is a blast and I highly recommend it for a good time. |

| Excellent history, stunts and the fighting scenes were also excellent. And as part of Jackie Chan character, the laughs could not been left behind. It was so funny, I just simply cracked. |
