In his autobiography, ''I am Jackie Chan: My life in Action'', Jackie Chan talked about the initial difficulty of filming a movie in Vancouver that is set in New York. The production team initially had to put up fake graffiti during the day and take it all down during the evening, while simultaneously making sure that no mountains made it into the background. However, Chan decided that it was best that the production team focus on the action only without worrying too much about scenery. In his review, Roger Ebert notes that there are mountains in the background, which are not present in the NYC landscape.<ref>{{cite web |first=Roger |last=Ebert |url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/rumble-in-the-bronx-1996 |title=Rumble in the Bronx |newspaper=[[Chicago Sun-Times]] |via=[[RogerEbert.com]] |date=23 February 1996}}</ref> There is also an NYC helicopter which displays a Canadian civil registration (C-GZPM - A [[Bell Textron|Bell]] [[Bell 206|JetRanger]]).

The original spoken dialogue consisted of all of the actors speaking their native language most of the time. In the completely undubbed soundtrack, available on the Warner Japanese R2 DVD release, Jackie Chan actually speaks his native Cantonese while Françoise Yip and Morgan Lam (the actors playing Nancy and Danny) speak English. All of the original dialogue was intended to be dubbed over in the international and Hong Kong film markets, and New Line Cinema overdubbed and slightly changed the original English dialogue.

During filming, Chan broke his right ankle while performing a stunt. He spent much of the remaining shooting time with one foot in a cast. When it came to the film's climax, the crew colored a sock to resemble the shoe on his good foot, which Chan wore over his cast. His foot still had not completely healed when he went on to shoot his next film, ''[[Thunderbolt (1995 film)|Thunderbolt]]'' (filmed the same year, 1994, but released earlier in the U.S.).<ref name="I Am Jackie Chan">{{cite web |url=http://www.randomhouse.com/features/iamjackiechan/excerpt_aches.html |title=Jackie's Aches and Pains: It Only Hurts When I'm Not Laughing |author=Jackie Chan |author-link=Jackie Chan |publisher=[[Random House]] |access-date=2012-12-19}}{{page needed|date=February 2024}}</ref>
