Rapid Fire (1992)
5/10
Only the Lee name going for it
12 April 2020
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.

"Rapid Fire" was a case of your stereotypical Italian mafia squaring off against a Chinese cartel for domination in the drug game. Jake Lo (Brandon Lee) got caught in the middle of it all when he witnessed mafia boss, Cerrano, kill a Chinese cartel boss.

"Rapid Fire" was a typical action movie with martial arts. You had fighting, shooting, explosions, and a spontaneous sex scene. "Rapid Fire" hoped to capitalize on the Lee name because they certainly didn't distinguish themselves any other way.
