Rumble in the Bronx is a rather typical Jackie film from the point of view that it features intense fight-scenes and equally intense comedy scenes. While the film works on a level of a "Hong Kong Action Comedy" it doesn't work quite well on all levels of production.
The neo-American feel of the film isn't completely wasted but does feel a little artificial from time to time. The intensity of the film is definitely at its best in the first two thirds but these unfortunately lead to a rather miss-mashed third act which just feels shoddy and over-the-top.
However to say the film is a complete waste would be too harsh. It is definitely recommendable to Jackie fans but far from his greatest works.
