• The American version of Rumble In The Bronx is shorter that the original Hong Kong one. Here's what's the USA version is missing:
  • The H.K. version opens with Jackie already in the airport. The U.S. version runs the opening credits over footage of his plane arriving in New York.
  • The scene in the H.K. print where 2 local punks, a Chinese and a black guy, extort some money before helping themselves to some goodies from beside the cash register is cut from the U.S. version.
  • The dialogue scene between Jackie and Anita Mui at Uncle Bill's wedding is shortened in the U.S. version, and the performance of the wedding duet from 'Princess Chang Ping', by Tung Biu and Carrie Cain Sparks is missing.
  • In the H.K. print, after Jackie trashes the first bunch of punks in the market, he delivers a lecture, in Cantonese, on Chinese martial Arts, which Anita Mui then declines to translate to the Western store workers.
  • In the H.K. print, the morning after Jackie is sliced up by the broken bottles he returns to the market. There he confronts the same punks who extorted money from Uncle Bill, and sees them off with a mean stare. However, when the biker gang arrive, Jackie, apparently intimidated, calls the police rather than fight them himself. This whole sequence is cut from the U.S. version.
  • A scene in which the same two extortionists return to the market and Anita Mui tries, in vain, to scare them away with a mean look is cut from the U.S. print.
  • In the H.K. print, after Jackie trashes the street gang at their clubhouse, he delivers an impassioned speech telling them to do something worthwhile with their lives. This is shortened in the U.S. version.
