Rumble in the Bronx
Jackie Chan's first big success in America, 1995's Rumble in the Bronx (which, as the mountains visible in the background might imply, was shot in Vancouver, BC) remains a goofy, light, super-fun showcase of just about all of Chan's breakneck charms. (Or, in this case, break-ankle: stay during the credits for a brutal reel of stunts gone wrong.) The action's great, Chan's hilarious and impressive, and aside from maybe Drunken Master II or Police Story, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better Jackie Chan movie.
