Rapid Fire was my favorite Brandon Lee movie. It had a decent director, cast, budget, and story. The fight and action choreography was also good and stayed away from the "Oliver Gruner/Cynthia Rothrock" territory that many films in the martial arts genre were taking at that time, trying to capitalize on the popularity of Segal & Van Damme.

I thought Showdown In Little Tokyo was far superior.

Yep. It wasn't on very long, though.

I enjoyed some of the Mortal Kombat films. Brandon was the original choice to play Johnny Cage, and the part was written specifically for him.

Shannon had a very small part in the Bruce Lee biographical movie made in '93. They offered the lead to Brandon, who turned it down. I don't think he would have been the best choice.

Tito24 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 07, 2013, 02:14:55 AM »

i remember him being shot dead mistakenly at the filming scene of the crow and that they finished the movie with the help of the computer.
very weird story
