This is a Hong Kong movie made in Vancouver for the American market. I don't really know how well it went, but I think that it is a pretty good movie. It is set in the Bronx, but was mostly filmed in Vancouver, and the filmmakers did a very good job at making us think that we were in the Bronx. They tried a similar tactic with First Strike, but that failed badly.
Rumble in the Bronx is a Jackie Chan movie, meaning that there are freaky stunts (because he does all of his own stunts - that is what makes him a cult hero) and it is quite comical, and there are fight scenes as well. The plot is interesting, and basically this movie is everything that one would expect from a Jackie Chan movie.
Kueng comes to the Bronx for his uncle's wedding, and to house sit for him while he is on his honeymoon. During this time Kueng manages to anger a major gang in the Bronx which leads to numerous stunts and fight scenes. During this struggle, one of the gang members finds a bag of diamonds which is sought by a nasty crime syndicate. They then start murdering gang members to get these diamonds. Jackie is brought into it and a huge stunt scene erupts on a hovercraft.
As this is a typical Jackie Chan movie, there is little else that can be commented on it. The interesting thing is that Jackie broke his leg in a stunt which involved jumping onto the Hovercraft, and then made a large part of the movie with a broken leg. That is determination.
