It's light on plot and character, but the stunts are well staged.

For once a film's ad line has a whiff of truth about it: 'No Fear. No Stuntman. No Equal.'

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

The fun of Rumble in the Bronx is watching Chan build up one inventive and off-the-wall action scene after another.

Sean Means, Film.com
Rotten

An awkward hybrid of Asian and American film techniques.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

The whole point is Jackie Chan - and, like Astaire and Rogers, he does what he does better than anybody.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
