Awesome / Rumble in the Bronx

Go To

  • The fight in the street gang's lair. For the first time for the mainstream Hollywood audience, Chan got to really cut loose with an action sequence done his way, and finally got the American success he deserved.
  • Jackie Chan's jump from one building to another to escape the gang. No green-screen, no trickery... he did that for real!
    One of the gangbangers, witnessing this: Can you believe that guy?!
  • Chan broke his leg when he first jumped on the hovercraft and had to be taken to hospital. What did he do when he got out? Covered up his cast with a sock that looked like a shoe, and got right back into the action!
  • When Keung has to stop the entire hovercraft, he has an Indy Ploy of grabbing an antique chinese sword from a shop, swiping a smashed fancy and expensive car that he proceeds to ram the doors off of, and jamming the handle against the inside of the door with his foot. He then rushes to joust the hovercraft and slash the entire side of the vessel, forcing it off the road and right out of commission.
