I watched this film after several people recommended it to me, and i must say, i enjoyed it quite a lot. Action scenes are very good, specially fight scenes.
Not a great flick. Not even a good flick.
Along with the classic The Crow, Brandon Lee made few other films before his heartbreaking accidental death. His natural charisma and likability he brought to action hero roles, accenting the tough guy qualities with an angelic vulnerability, was tragically cut short by the incident.
"Rapid Fire" will not claim any awards for originality of plot (this is a simple, straightforward B-movie compared to Brandon Lee's next, last and best film, "The Crow"), but it moves fast, and the action scenes are exciting and well-staged. Lee is charismatic, athletic, impressive he had the stuff to be an action star (he's like a likable Steven Seagal who can act).
I know this is Brandon Lee, son of the historic Bruce Lee, but I'll say about this movie what I said about "The Perfect Weapon" with Jeff Speakman: it has entered a crowded field. We already had Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal, and Jean Claude Van Damme cranking out movie after movie at this time, so whatever martial arts guy that entered the picture was only going to cause spillage in a saturated genre.
It's a badass 90's action movie starring Brandon Lee, the son of the legendary Bruce Lee.
Typical, frenetic b-grade action vehicle starring the son of Bruce Lee; the late Brandon Lee. With Lee in the lead, we knew there would be a range of martial arts and director Dwight H Little does a credibly smooth job (agile camera-work) showcasing those abilities.
"Rapid Fire" is a 1992 action film directed by Dwight H. Little starring Brandon Lee and Powers Booth.
It's hard to believe this was based on real events; all that carnage for what? If it's depicted as accurate the shopping mall siege and the revenge for Billy's killing went on too long.
