MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
JoeyHal I saw this movie on sale and it was cheap so i bought it. the DVD case has Jackie Chan all over it saying that this was a rare forgotten classic! Yeah right! my ass! (pardon my language!) All i saw was bad dubbing, bad acting, slow and boring fight scenes and Jackie doesn't even in it that much! When he is he is running around with a huge spot on his face which is embarrassing. I felt sorry for Chan and all the actors because they will always be ashamed by the fact they starred in this trash! It has the worst fight scenes ever! there very very slow and tiresome. I will never watch that disgrace of a Kung Fu movie ever again! such a waste of time and money. so glad that when i bought this, it was cheap. I wish i never bought it. So, if you are a Jackie Chan fan like me, don't be fooled by the cover! Jackie is barley in it!when he is, the directors and writers make him look stupid and embarrassingly! I'm so glad that he wasn't the main role because that would be a bad start to his early carrier! If anyone actually wants to watch this, god help them! they are making a mistake! They have been fooled and cheated by the DVD cover! hopefully this movie will be banned for being so crap and trashy!
vetteski42 I've brought the DVD for 4 bucks at a used video store. I was sorta ticked off with the poor quality of the film. I know it's an old, foreign film but they should've put it on the box for those that may buy it new. But what i liked about the film was seeing Shu Qui. She came back to us in the Kung Fu Hustle as the Landlady. I always liked her films along with Shang Kuan and Chia Ling. As for Jackie, he was alright but the hype on the DVD cover should've been dismissed. Maybe the art director might read this and redesign the cover and title it " the Policewoman featuring Jackie Chan as the Villain". Maybe the viewers might not shoot the DVD after buying it.
Rejoicen I love watching some of Jackie Chans old movies. They usually have great action sequences, but not this one!!!! I had to force myself to actually finish it. It was so weird to see him as a bad guy, and he had this big hairy mole on his face. I mean, what's the deal with that? He was hardly even in it, and was not the main character. I also think his name is all over the box just because of his fame. Usually when watching his old films I usually can look past the fact that it's low budget, but this one I could not. It was really bad quality. The only thing I really found funny was seeing all of them run around in bell bottoms, and that chezzy 70's music in the background. So whatever you do, if you want to watch a good Jackie Chan movie DO NOT watch Rumble in Hong Kong.
moonisgod This is a sad example of bad marketing on everyone's part. Jackie Chan appears on the box and headlines the credits although he's only in the movie for a handful of scenes. I guess it was retitled "Rumble in Hong Kong" by the Americans to cash in on "Rumble in the Bronx"'s fame, even though the two movies have nothing in common. Even the Chinese title "Police Woman" is misleading; sure, there's a police woman in the film, but she's not the main character and the story doesn't follow her like the title suggests.But as a film it isn't really 100% bad. Ignoring the unfairness of using Jackie's image and the misleading titles, the film is a basic "police vs. evil crime lord" story with the usual twists and turns, good guys and bad guys and the occasional action sequence. A good movie to see with friends, but kind of gets boring if you watch it alone. The hero isn't a police woman though, it's a taxi driver. Go figure.Hardcore fans of Jackie's will like this film because you get to see him play something other than the hero. He's not the main villain though, only one of the henchmen, so everyone else will be disappointed by his amount of screen time. Deprived of his characteristic moves, humor, and even basic character development, he becomes just another thug (they give him an enormous ugly mole on his neck too, for reasons unknown).So as a whole the movie's ok, just don't expect to see a lot of Jackie Chan or police women.
