Rumble in the Bronx

"Deep" was never the word I had reserved for Jackie Chan's movies. But I always liked them. This one was the first I saw, and the one that impressed me most. Not only because of the artistry, the bold choreography, and the daringness of the stunts, but for the intensity of feelings. In no other of his films that I have seen, Jackie Chan has been so earnest, and has admitted so strong feelings. Of course he is funny as well – when he poses and squeezes his pimples on the other side of the one-way mirror, that is hilarious! But his feud with the motorcycle gang is strong and honest, and moving. Later that Hovercraft – hilarious again.

I hadn't seen this one for ages, but I still liked it very much again.
