Rumble in the Bronx (1996) [ID3378LI]

International actor/stunt-man Jackie Chan Rumbles the down-town of New York Bronx in this kick-a$$ action comedy and often violent.

Image Entertainment transfer is wonderful Laserdisc eye candy that holds up remarkable well with colour tone that I couldn't fault with film like textures.






Lots of screen camera captures!









Subtitle within the screen as it was meant to be.



I noticed (video fringing) on the buildings but it didn't ruin my viewing it could have been improved here at the time.









Some humour









The camera over exposed the light on the motorbikes its actually got a bit more detail that other film to video transfers tend to get botched up badly but not here with this, transfer its a nice solid firm image.





The colours are striking delicious I want to see more from this Image Laserdisc.





What a guy Chan, is very physical and not many actors around daring enough to do their own stunt performances.











This is what I like about Laserdisc subtitles again where there suppose to be.











Night time scenes hold up well on the Laserdisc transfer.















The story relationship is nice and the message that is between the film as a good sense of meaning.

























Some of the scenes where funny.












Side 2 Is that what I think it is?





















The Dolby SR mix has nice deep low end omph that kicks in on the sub bass extension. Foley body punches have the chest punch one would come to expect from this type of film mix.














the kid throws items to Chan, to defend himself. When the wrench is tossed to him the bad guy starts pleading.

























It sparkles nicely on Laserdisc.









Dangerous stunt-work the guy has a lot of bottle.







The hovercraft scenes was exciting.























Payback time.













Chapter 23, "All In A Days Work" behind the scenes that went wrong.










End Credits.







Colour test card at the end.

Sound gets a kicking punch


I'm not a fan of Jackie Chan, films but after seeing Rumble, I guess I've been rumbled. Great all-round fun entertainment.

great pictures, now i might have to get the film, i can't really remember why i didn't have this chan film.

I have two more to watch later on. It wasn't all that bad I really did enjoy it and would put it on for guests if it was in demand.

I think the next few I have, have Dolby AC-3.

I usually prefer the crappy HK editions of these kinds of movies because I want the subtitles, but Jackie Chan does his own ADR (along with basically everything else) and the wide US release of his movies in the 90s led to some great transfers, better than you'd get from most HK editions anyway.

Get Supercop. I'm pretty sure you'd like it. "What we need...is a Supercop!"

Jackie Chan is an amazing guy, his autobiography is one of my favorite books, and the era of...I'm going to say 1984-1997 gave us an almost inexhaustible supply of really great action movies from him, Jet Ki, Anita Mui, Michelle Yeoh, Johnny To, Tsui Hark, John Woo, etc. I miss this kind of movie, but at the same time there are SO MANY of them that I don't know if I really need there to be any more.

I wish "Uncle" Bill Tung had stayed around a while longer though. I miss that guy.

I see it and its Dolby AC-3 Criterion Laserdisc.

Supercop: Special Edition #327 (1992) [CC1479L]

Not a bad low budget with huge gross! why can't all films be made at low budget? Why make them at super high costs?

When you see the motorcycle jump, you'll know the one, keep in mind that that really is Michelle Yeoh actually jumping that bike. Actually jumping a moving bike onto a moving train.

Then watch The Heroic Trio, and Wing Chun.

And Supercop 2.

There must be something horribly wrong with Michelle Yeoh (after all, she did marry that piece of crap Jean Todt) but I can't see it.
