A Scene from Rumble in the Bronx
Friday, September 11. 2015
Twenty years ago, Jackie Chan was introduced to mainstream American audiences with Rumble in the Bronx. Already famous for his incredible stunts around the world (particularly in his native Hong Kong), New Line Cinema was the first to give one of his films wide theatrical release in the United States. As much as audiences enjoyed the movie's stunts, however, many noticed the beautiful but distinctly non-Bronx mountains visible in the background of many shots—a byproduct of the movie's true filming location of Vancouver, British Columbia. To help sell the movie's location as New York City, several establishing shots were added throughout the movie, including this one that included not just the Trade Center, but the Brooklyn Bridge and Statue of Liberty as well for maximum landmark visibility.
