Rumble in the Bronx is directed by Tang Chi-Li. The story is about Jackie Chan who acted Ah Keung in the film. He worked in New York and he met Elaine (played by Antia Mui), Nancy, and Danny. Danny was a handicapped boy in wheelchair. One example:

Nancy was a beautiful girl but she mixed with some bad people but she was very good. Finally, Elaine liked Ah Keung and she had a big supermarket. One day, the bad people went to the supermarket and stole the goods and they always made trouble in the supermarket, but Ah Keung was very brave and beat them up.

At last, the bad people lost and Ah Keung won. Though Antia Mui died, her excellent performance makes us remember her forever. Jackie Chan is always brilliant.

I felt this film is very exciting but it had many violent actions. In this film, I also found Jackie Chan a good kung fu hero and he is very handsome but his hair is very long. I hope he can cut his hair short when he performed other films soon.
