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.

Version: English dubPolice Woman - What police woman? Rumble in Hong Kong - what rumble? Young Tiger - is he the taxi driver? Where's Jackie Chan? Who is Jacky Chan? Is he that guy who looks like Jackie Chan, but has a mole the size of large rodent on his face? So many questions, such a bad movie.A female ex-gang member dies in taxi, and leaving behind a purse. The gang she used to belong to is looking for the purse, as is the Police Woman, who actually plays the side-kick to the taxi driver, who is the real hero of the movie. Wow. Jackie plays the gangs second-in-command, and frequently gets beaten up in his role as a thug.Pretty boring movie overall. Boring fight scenes, bad dubbing, bad DVD transfer. The shining point of the movie is when the taxi driver and his buddies are talking about social values, arguing that 'the kids watch too many violent movies these days'. It might explain the lack of decent action.3/10 - Don't watch this movie, unless you want to see Jackie Chan as a bad guy, or before he became a star - in that respect its much better than say, 'Eagle Shadow Fist'.

Well, one could hardly complain about renting what I thought it was a Jackie Chan movie entitled 'Young Tiger' on the DVD Cover. Once, I realized it wasn't, I watched it anyway. I was kind of worried in the opening scenes where the picture quality and dubbing was really poor, and the fight sequences even worse. The DVD cover is called 'Young Tiger', but the title on the film was 'Rumble in Hong Kong' (even, the marketing folks can't make up their minds), and apparently it's called 'Police Woman' here. Can't understand that choice because her character wasn't the main one.Jackie (or Jacky) Chan plays the 2IC in a nasty street gang and he's mainly a supporting character, as his purpose is to torment our hero; the cab driver who wants to make the streets safe and is caught in a bad situation. Some ex-female member of the gang dies in his cab, and the gang are searching for a purse she had. She is related to the "Police Woman" character who assists the cabbie. The gang think the poor cabbie has got the purse. Anywho, what follows is an endless array of bad fight scenes and people talking off-camera. It's pretty bad, even for it's day 30 years ago. There is some unnecessary social commentary in there too. Hard to judge properly because the quality of transfer, and the dubbing were awful, but even so, I don't think this film was the great to begin with. If you are a Jackie Chan film fan, this film in 'Young Tiger' or whatever is a piece of crap banking on his success. I doubt it would have seen the light of day otherwise as a DVD in Australia.*½ out of *****!

I only saw this when I was round a friend's house a few years ago. I had to restrain myself from falling asleep.The plot was rubbish, the dubbing was among the worst I'd ever seen, the acting was rank and the whole story was a bore. Its only redeeming feature is seeing Jackie as a baddie, and even that's not enough to save it from the mire.All Jackie Chan fans - STEER WELL CLEAR OF THIS ONE!
