Legacy of Rage is a 1986 Hong Kong action film starring Brandon Lee , Michael Wong , Regina Kent, and Hoi Mang directed by Ronny Yu. This was Brandon Lee's first starring role, and his only role in a Hong Kong film. Despite the producers playing up Brandon Lee's lineage (hence the title), this is much more of a Hong Kong-style shoot-em-up, with only one fight scene (against his father's old friend, Bolo Yeung .)
The following weapons were used in the film Legacy of Rage :
Handguns
Smith & Wesson Model 29
Brandon Ma (Brandon Lee ) and Michael (Michael Wong ) take a few shots with Michael's new nickel-plated Smith & Wesson Model 29 . Brandon uses another S&W 29 in the end, it may be the same gun.
