What's left behind the scenes
- While jumping from the bridge onto the hovercraft, Jackie Chan broke his right ankle and suffered an open fracture of his toes. However, this did not stop him: he continued filming with a broken leg. This is noticeable in many scenes, for example, during the chase scene where the bandits pursue Jackie, it is clearly visible that he is limping. To finish filming, Jackie would put a sock painted to look like a sneaker over his cast.
- "Rumble in the Bronx" was recognized as the most profitable film in China and Hong Kong in 1995, and it also became the first Hong Kong film to premiere in a record number (2,000) of US cinemas.
- The script included a jump from the car park through a fire escape onto the lower floor of the building across the road. As was his tradition, director Stanley Tong tried the stunt himself before asking any actor to do it. He attempted it with harnesses, but quickly decided it would be safer without them. The landing point was not visible from the jump-off point, so a cassette was placed as a marker. Jackie Chan executed the jump brilliantly on the first attempt. The jump was filmed with four cameras.
- The fight scene in the store took 20 days to film, as Chan trained local stuntmen to fight in the "Hong Kong style".
- A hovercraft is used by the Canadian Coast Guard for rescue operations, fishing assistance, and navigational aid.
- The scene of Jackie Chan being beaten with empty bottles was filmed using shatterproof glass behind which Jackie Chan stood.
- During the preparation for the film's release in North America, the producers decided to title the film “Showdown in Vancouver.” American distributors decided that the film would sell better under the title “Showdown in the Bronx,” so the title was changed.
- The American/international version of the film has a runtime of 91 minutes, while the Hong Kong version is 108 minutes long.
- The film was actually shot in Vancouver, not New York. Initially, they tried to hide this fact by concealing the mountains and painting graffiti (which they removed at the end of each day), but it was later decided that the audience wouldn’t focus on it since it was an action film. Shots of New York panoramas were added at the very end of editing.
- During the motorcycle chase, Françoise Yip broke her leg. She insisted on returning to the set after her leg was cast in the hospital. Additionally, two other female stunt performers broke their legs during the filming of the motorcycle chase, and one of them also suffered a severe head injury.
- The British version of the film is 42 seconds shorter than the American version.
- In some Asian releases, the scene where Kyeong hits Angelo on the buttocks with a car antenna was replaced with an alternative version in which Angelo pulls up his pants.
- Mark Eckström, who played Tony, was also one of the stunt drivers, and was also responsible for the staging of the "auto-moto" action in the film.
- The film was nominated for numerous awards at the 1996 Hong Kong Film Awards, but only won for "Best Action Choreography" (Chan, Tung).
- The film's director and action choreographer, Stanley Tong, also served as one of the stunt drivers. Furthermore, he dubbed Jackie Chan in scenes requiring vehicle operation.
- John Sampson doubled for Jackie Chan in the "water" stunts (water skiing).
- During the chase scene with the hovercraft near the New York coastline, mountains can be seen in the distance.
- When Kyeong hits the bandit in the face with a helmet, a bruise can be seen appearing on the villain's face a second before the actual impact.
- In the club where Nancy was dancing (when Kyeong came to talk to her), dance music is playing. So why is there also a rock band playing with guitars, bass, and drums, and why can't they be heard? It's also obvious that the band isn't playing in harmony with the dance song.
- In the scene where Danny is playing the video game given to him by Kyong, it can be seen that it doesn't even have a cartridge inserted.
- When the gang chases Jackie on motorcycles, Tony starts pursuing him on a motorcycle with the number 36. However, after a while, Tony is no longer on motorcycle 36, but a bandit in a helmet. He tries to run Jackie over, and Jackie dives headfirst into the hatch of a sports car. But after a few seconds, Tony is back on that motorcycle again.
- When Jackie hits Tony, he then throws Tony, who falls onto the edge of a slot machine on his back. It can be noticed that the edge of this machine is rounded to cushion the fall.
- In the scene where Kyong saves a little girl building a sandcastle on the beach, he puts her on his shoulder. However, from different angles, she is sometimes on his left shoulder and sometimes on his right.
- 'Full Contact' was recognized as the most profitable film in China and Hong Kong in 1995, and it also became the first Hong Kong film to debut in a record number (2,000) of US cinemas.
- Mark Eckström, who played Tony, was also one of the stunt drivers, and was involved in staging the film's 'auto-moto' action sequences.
- The film was nominated for numerous 1996 Hong Kong Film Awards, but only won for 'Best Action Choreography' (Chan, Tung).
- John Sampson doubled for Jackie Chan in the "water" stunts (water skiing).
