How Jackie Chan changed the ultimate action movie game for the better with his 1995 international hit Rumble in the Bronx.
Neglected but not forgotten. The 90’s were a strange, fluid time for action flicks. The old model of making them – a huge star would be the lead, the budget would be in the high millions, there’d be a ton of blood and one-liners thrown about, along with f-bombs – was changing into a safer,…
