Summary: GOOD MOVIE FLAWED DVD
Review: AFTER READING EVERYONE ELSES REVIEWS, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY JUST DIDN'T NOTICE THE JUMP IN THE FIGHT SCENE IN MANCUSO'S BAR OR I JUST GOT A QUALITY CONTROL ERROR DVD. MY DVD LEAVES OUT HALF THE FIGHT SCENE, I KNOW, I ALSO HAVE IT ON VHS. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE WHO NOTICED THIS.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Rapid Fire
Review: Although the film's soundtrack wasn't encoded in todays Dolby Digital 5.1 format, its Dolby Digital 4.0 soundtrack has surprisingly deep bass that in my case, required the subwoofer's volume to be lowered.

The video was sharp and looked like a recent release rather than a 10 year old film.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: why is it not on dvd?
Review: Brandon Lee is the most overlooked martial arts star of this decade. Granted he only made three american movies (we'll just forget about Laser Mission) in his short career, and the Crow was the best all around film. But don't forget about the amazing choreography(spelling) that he created for Rapid Fire. The martial arts in this film stand up to the best in this genre - there is no reason Rapid Fire should not be available on dvd.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Rapid Fire has no fire to rapidly fire with
Review: Brandon Lee's (Legacy Of Rage, The Crow) second to last film before his untimely passing. This has Lee going up against Nick Mancuso, when Lee witnesses Mancuso whack a guy in coldblood. Lee is then put into witness protection in a safe house where even there he isnt safe. Soon he doesnt know who to trust, the cops or a rouge cop Powers Boothe (Frailty, U-Turn), but he joins Boothe's side, so lee teams up and they try to take Mancuso out. Lee cant deliver his lines but he sure knows how to kick some ass. The action scenes, some of them are tedious, but most of them for example where Lee fights the corrupt cops in the safe house, are at best. Boothes' acting in this is so mindnumbingly idiotic with him trying to be macho but he cant pull it off. Mancuso must of had a blast with his part. Also starring Raymond J. Barry (The Deep End, Dead Man Walking), Kate Hodge, Tzi Ma (Rush Hour, The Ladykillers 04'), Michael Paul Chan (Spy Game) and Dustin Nguyen (The Doom Generation, tv's V.I.P.).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brandon Lee In Explosive Martial Arts Action!!!
Review: Brandon Lee, an exceptional martial artist in his own right, stars in this Hong Kong style action movie. Full of flying feet, guns blasting, and bombs blowing up. Lee shows us his skills in kung fu and Muay Thai as he goes up against the Italian mafia and the Chinese triads. His physical abilities are incredible, with his body sculpted to near perfection, like his father, Bruce Lee. Lee keeps up the legend using his father's style but he also takes it a step further when he combines it with Jackie Chan's style when he engages in battle. Also full of amazing stunts this movie is a must watch if you are an action fan, martial arts fan, or a fan of the legendary Lees. It is sad that Brandon Lee is gone, but in "Rapid Fire" and his other movies, he will live forever.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This was a pretty good movie
Review: College student Jake Lo (Brandon Lee) stars in this good movie. He was a average college student until he became a important witness. The FBI has him under protection.This movie is awesome if you like martial arts and action. It is worth seeing.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Movie!
Review: Finally, they released this movie on DVD! This is Brandon's best movie, unfortunately he didn't have the chance to keep climbing the ladder of success and make greater movies. Well it's a good action movie. Cops vs. Mobsters and Lee gets caught up in the middle of it! Could have had more features like deleted scenes and trailer and so on, but good it's available on DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the film itself
Review: For once a martial arts film that has a half decent plot and is not completely butchered by the Americans.
Considering what the Americans have done to Brandon's other films (Legacy of Rage and Showdown in LT) I was impressed.
There's equity between the Asian and American actors and the film is enjoyable and furthermore, something you can sit through and not curse Western filmmaking.
The relationship between Brandon and Power's relationship makes for some interesting viewing and the acting is realistic for once and not overacted like in other flicks.
However, more importantly and let's face it, what we watch it for, are the martial arts sequences.
The one towards the end between Brandon and that small guy who comes down the stairs is brilliant - the choreography is great and the way Brandon works his hands is amazing.
Overall, a bloody good martial arts film featuring one of the best, after his father, and a must see for Lee fans.
