'''''Rapid Fire''''' is a 1992 martial arts action film starring [[Brandon Lee]], [[Powers Boothe]], [[Nick Mancuso]], and [[Tzi Ma]], directed by Dwight H. Little (''[[Marked for Death]]'', ''[[Murder At 1600]]''). This was Brandon Lee's first film as fight choreographer, and his second to last starring role. | '''''Rapid Fire''''' is a 1992 martial arts action film starring [[Brandon Lee]], [[Powers Boothe]], [[Nick Mancuso]], and [[Tzi Ma]], directed by [[Dwight H. Little]] (''[[Marked for Death]]'', ''[[Murder At 1600]]''). This was Brandon Lee's first film as fight choreographer, and his second to last starring role. Brandon Lee was reportedly in talks for a sequel right before his tragic death on the set of ''[[The Crow]]''. | ||
Trivia: When Brandon Lee was in Sweden doing promotion for ''Rapid Fire'', he filmed a cameo as a favor to director Richard Holm. This cameo, in the Swedish film ''Sex, lögner & videovåld'' (''Sex, Lies and Video Violence''), released six years after his death, would be his final screen credit. | |||

Latest revision as of 13:40, 29 March 2021
Rapid Fire is a 1992 martial arts action film starring Brandon Lee, Powers Boothe, Nick Mancuso, and Tzi Ma, directed by Dwight H. Little (Marked for Death, Murder At 1600). This was Brandon Lee's first film as fight choreographer, and his second to last starring role. Brandon Lee was reportedly in talks for a sequel right before his tragic death on the set of The Crow.
Trivia: When Brandon Lee was in Sweden doing promotion for Rapid Fire, he filmed a cameo as a favor to director Richard Holm. This cameo, in the Swedish film Sex, lögner & videovåld (Sex, Lies and Video Violence), released six years after his death, would be his final screen credit.
The following weapons were used in the film Rapid Fire:
Handguns
Smith & Wesson 39
Jake Lo (Brandon Lee) takes away a henchman's Smith & Wesson 39 and uses it briefly in the shootout at Chang's.
Taurus PT99AFS
Agents Daniels (Quentin O'Brien) and Anderson (Jeff McCarthy) use suppressed Taurus PT99AFS pistols to try to kill Jake Lo. Jake later takes Anderson's. It is clear that these are PT99s and not PT92s because they have adjustable rear sights.
Smith & Wesson 659
In two separate continuity errors, the Taurus PT92AFS's turns into Smith & Wesson 659.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
