Rumble in the Bronx was my first introduction to Jackie Chan.
My ex (husband, not the Evil Ex) owned a comic shop, was majorly into Manga and had a contact in HK, so he sold videos big in the East. No, nothing under the counter!
But he thought it would be best to let me dip my toe in the water when it came to Jackie Chan.
I remember he told me before the video started that JC did his own stunts, filmed in real time, no editing. He didn't have to tell me there was no CGI because - well, videos. No CGI.
I don't remember that weapon, but thanks for reminding me of a good time in my life, and a new experience. I never got to love Eastern cinema as much as my ex, but the love of graphic novels (and Neil Gaiman) stayed with me.
Cool IoTD and cool story, made super cool by your connection.
