I love this movie so much

Expected more

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This film is decent enough 'bargain-bin' entertainment if you ignore the misleading description. It was clearly made before Jackie Chan became well known; he plays one of the villains and is far from being the main character… that doesn't stop his name appearing in large letter on the box along with his picture! This unfortunately creates an entirely wrong impression of what to expect.The story involves a woman who flees from a gang in a taxi; she is seriously unwell and asks to be taken to hospital. On the way she dies but not before she stashes a purse in the taxi. It contains evidence against the gang and they want it back. This proves troublesome for the taxi driver, Chin Chen, who has no knowledge of the purse. The gang repeatedly attack him to demand the return of the purse, they search his house and even send a woman who claims to be the dead girl's sister to retrieve the purse. Soon afterwards her real sister, a police woman, turns up and works with Chen to expose the gang…something that will inevitably put them in danger.Once I'd got over the fact that this wasn't really a Jackie Chan movie I rather enjoyed it; yes it was distinctly low budget but the story was solid enough and the fight scenes were entertaining even if they weren't particularly intense. Charlie Chin is a likable lead as taxi driver Chin Chen and the rest of the cast are decent enough. The version I watched was dubbed into English; this dub wasn't too bad for the most part although at one point the dialogue disappeared for a couple of minutes during what may have been a key scene! It was also presented in a 4:3 aspect ratio that rather than following the action appeared to just show the centre of the original widescreen version; this mean if a the person talking was at the edge of the original picture we just got an off-screen voice which was rather odd. Overall this wasn't a bad film and having seen this version I can only think a wide screen sub-titled version would be better.

This is not such a bad film, yes its far from great. The problem of course is Jackie Chan Kong-sang being credited as the star, which speaks for most of his early films which he played a supporting role in. Also there is no decent version that I know of, only cheaply produced and horribly dubbed bargain bin DVDs and VHS'. Now, if we look past all that, this is not a really bad film. It has a story which is nothing we have not seen before, and I for one really like Charlie Chin Hsiang-Lin, and I though he did a great job. In fact he is the biggest reason I enjoyed the film as much as I did. I think its only his 6th or 7th film.The action is weak, and the music is kinda hokey to say the least, but I enjoyed it for what it was. I believe there will never be a properly remastered version with original language etc etc. So this is what we get.As for Jackie Chan Kong-sang. This is very early on in his career, in fact I think this may be one of the first times you see his face this clearly on screen. At this point he was not an international superstar. Everyone had to start somewhere, and to be honest you will not find a good Jackie Chan film that pre-dates his career launching "Snake in the Eagles Shadow".I really bugs me when western companies take early films with famous people in small roles, and mis-lead people to make some bucks. However, on the other hand if Jackie was not in this film, it probably would never have seen the light of day in my part of the world in any way shape or form. So for that, I guess I can be thankful. . .

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.

Jackie Chan is incidental in this blurry golddigger (i.e., cash in on his fame) re-release. A tedious use of 80 minutes, very little action. Better action in five-minute sequences in 'Martial Law' repeats. I bought an expensive CD box for five dollars, which is the only redeeming aspect of buying that thing.
