Rumble in the Bronx (1995)

'Rumble in the Bronx' is an earlish Americanish Jackie Chan production, Chan is Ma Hon Keung, a competitive martial artist who travels from Hong Kong to New York for his uncles wedding. He stays to help the new owner of his uncles former grocery store, befriends a crippled boy, is pursued with the intention of murder by multiple gangs, and helps the NYPD solve a case involving stolen diamonds. The movie ends with a chase sequence featuring its signature visual a hovercraft traversing the streets of New York. Most of the action sequences here are of a smaller scale then those in 'Operation Condor' but the story makes more sense, kind of, and this feels more like a real movie then the earlier film did, as opposed to minor bits of story to string the action set pieces together. There are still some good set pieces here though, notably the parking garage chase, and a few sequences inside the grocery store. A fun diversion. ***
