Awesome fight scenes, Brandon Lee Rocks!

"Rapid Fire" is a film which delivers better acting, plot and action than many contemporaneous films with much larger budgets and big name talent. Brandon Lee was involved in the planning of every fight sequence and the result is simply some of the best fight choreography in an American production of the time. In particular, the sequence between Brandon and Al Leong (Minh) is fantastic. Both Brandon Lee and Powers Boothe deliver strong performances, while Nick Mancuso and Tzi Ma are superb as the dueling drug lords.. I can easily recommend "Rapid Fire" to any action film fan with an hour and a half of free time. If you decide you like "Rapid Fire", I would also recommend "Showdown In Little Tokyo", a buddy cop action film with Brandon and Dolph Lundgren. It is a real tragedy that Brandon Lee was killed by the reckless incompetence of others on the set of "The Crow". It is likely he would have enjoyed a long and successful career as a film star and celebrity.

Unwatchable piece of 90's B-movie junk. Don't know why I rented it. I bet Lee is spinning in his grave!!!

This is one of the best martial arts movies ever, along with Showdown in Little Tokyo starring Brandon Lee and Dolph Lundgren. Brandon's kungfu style looks great and this movie has some of the best choreographed fight scenes ever which is in the tradition of Brandon and his father Bruce Lee. Very cool to see Brandon's character improvising mid-fight like when he kicks right through the stairs rather than waiting for the goon to finally get to the bottom of the stairs or when he rearranges the guy's face with the refrigerator door. Watch this movie then rent Showdown in Little Tokyo. The martial arts film world suffered a great loss when Brandon and Bruce were murdered.

It's unfortunate that Brandon Lee, son of Bruce Lee, had his life cut short by a filming accident during the making of "The Crow". This is the movie that introduced his good looks and fast moves to the big screen. This is a typical 90's action movie, so don't look for too much. Fun and enjoyable for what it is.

This film was excellent! Classic 90's action flick with a great storyline to follow. Also, Brandon Lee does an excellent job executing the role that you can't help but think of his legendary father, the great Bruce Lee. To think of what kinds of epic action packed films they would be making if they were still around today is a tragic thought. But I have to say this movie definitely makes it to my list of all time classics.
