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:
Agents Daniels (Quentin O'Brien) and Anderson (Jeff McCarthy) use suppressed Taurus PT92AFS pistols to try to kill Jake Lo. Jake later takes Anderson's.
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.
