Rumble in the Bronx (1996)

Jackie Chan's "Rumble in the Bronx" is a quick Hong Kong action/comedy that brought the legendary stuntman/martial artist to America. The plot: Chan's good-two-shoes fights neighborhood thugs and mastermind criminals in NYC. The acting and dialogue is silly to a fault (one wonders if half the actors aren't ... uhh ... mentally disabled), but the action and stunts are pure joy, and it's all over in less than 90 minutes. And if you think this film was shot in the Bronx, then you don't know New York from Barren County, Kentucky. B
