It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Plot; A man from China visits the U.S. for his Uncle's wedding and runs afoul of a local gang and a group of diamond thieves.Aside from Cannonball Run, this was my first exposure to Jackie Chan. New Line Cinema snagged the rights to this 1995 Hong Kong hit and released it internationally (After trimming about 15 minutes off of its runtime) the following year. Grossing over $30 million in N. America, it became Chan's breakthrough in the States and several such re-releases would follow. But it's Rumble in the Bronx that has always stood out. Playing like an 8-bit side-scrolling beat 'em up, Bronx is not high art, but it is a perfect showcase for both Chan's incredible physical gifts and his deft comedic talents. For a Chan purist this probably barely rates as a shrug, but back in February of 1996 I sat in a theater filled with people getting their first taste of Chan and having the time of their lives in the process.

A young man (Jackie Chan) 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.This is the film where a lot of people became introduced to Jackie Chan, the world's greatest action hero who does his own stunts. He had done his Hong Kong films, but now he was in Hollywood. Though, for some reason, the dubbing is as bad as ever. Really, Hollywood? You give us this dubbing job? The kicks fly, the bullets fly, the cars crash. It is all rather silly, but that is what makes kung fu action so great -- it is over the top and extreme, violent yet excitingly fun. (And violent in a clean way -- we rarely see any blood or gore.)

This is one of the movies Jackie Chan made targeted for audience outside of Asia. The story takes place in New York with many American actors in the supporting role.To me this wasn't one of his best production, but there's one scene that blows me away every time I see it. This is the scene where Jackie takes a leap from the roof of one building into a balcony of the adjacent building. I don't think there was any wire attached to Jackie, so if he missed, he could have been dead, and he could have missed very easily. Some of the scenes look staged and isn't the natural Jackie Chan type scenes that I'm used to. Maybe the crew wasn't used to the American style production. It's really strange to discover that Jackie Chan movie looks below par compared to his own when it's way above average compared to other American action movie of this type.I also didn't like the senseless violence, but if wasn't so violent, maybe it wouldn't look like authentic America. Whatever the reason, they might have done it better.It's still a Jackie Chan movie, and you'll get that special dose of Jackie Chan action with this movie. If you're a Jackie Chan fan, it's sure to please you.
