A Scene from Rumble in the Bronx

Friday, September 11. 2015

The World Trade Center as seen in Rumble in the Bronx

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.

A Model 65 Million Years in the Making

Wednesday, September 9. 2015
Well, maybe not quite that long...but seeing as I first read Jurassic Park in 1991, and started making plans for a model of one of the Land Cruisers right from the beginning, it does seem like this one has been in the works for a while.

Apparently Sideswipe got a good contract back in '84...Prowl may sometimes be an F1 car, Soundwave may sometimes be a NASCAR racer, and Optimus Prime may sometime be a Lamborghini, but Sideswipe is the only top-tier character to have retained essentially the same alt mode across the 30+ years of Transformers history.
