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.
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
Detective Karla Withers (Kate Hodge) draws a Smith & Wesson Model 36 when she encounters Jake for the first time.
Beretta 92F
Beretta 92F pistols are seen at various times.
SIG-Sauer P226
Lieutenant Mace Ryan (Powers Boothe) carries a nickel-plated SIG-Sauer P226 as his service weapon.
M1911A1
A henchman reaches for a M1911A1 during the restaurant firefight.
Submachine Guns
Cobray M11/9
Chang's henchmen carry Cobray M11/9 submachine guns in underarm slings.
Heckler & Koch SP89
Serrano's henchmen carry Heckler & Koch SP89s converted to full auto. Some have MP5K foregrips.
Micro Uzi
Antonio Serrano (Nick Mancuso) uses a two-tone Micro Uzi for part of the film. (It appears to be the same customized Micro Uzi from Total Recall and Predator 2.) Jake later takes it away from him.
M1928 Thompson
A henchman (Carl Ciarfalio) is armed with an M1928 Thompson submachine gun.
Heckler & Koch MP5
A Heckler & Koch MP5 is briefly seen in the restaurant weapons stash. It is impossible to determine the variant with the information available.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
Real Heckler & Koch MP5Ks are briefly seen, but with an SP89 forends.
Shotguns
Franchi LAW-12
Lieutenant Ryan (Powers Boothe) uses a Franchi LAW-12 shotgun.
Mossberg 500 Cruiser Mariner
Serrano uses a Mossberg 500 Cruiser Mariner to shoot Chang (Michael Paul Chan).
Mossberg 500 Bullpup
