Rumble in the Bronx (1996) Hong Kong actor and director Jackie Chan edited "Rumble in the Bronx" for an Amerikan audience, and it shows. "Rumble" caters to Hollywood's vapid and reactionary standards. Some of his earlier films--like Drunken Master II--were marked by political themes of revolutionary anti-imperialist nationalism. Sometimes accurate renditions of historical struggles, these films were also significant for the strong non-romantic roles played by women. But this is pure Amerikan tripe: gratuitous sex, violence, racial stereotyping and a politically meaningless plot. Jackie Chan is an excellent martial artist and a great entertainer. Too bad he has now sold his skills to the disgusting bourgeois Hollywood movie industry.
