[Side Reels] Brandon Lee Before The Crow: Legacy of Rage, Laser Mission, and Rapid Fire
Description
What movies and TV shows did Brandon Lee appear in before his final role in The Crow?
Brandon Lee was more than a martial artist and actor with an ultra-famous father. I'm convinced he was a performer on the way to serious Hollywood stardom.
But while you may know his breakout role in The Crow, what were his previous film and television appearances like?
This episode takes a look at Legacy of Rage, Laser Mission, Showdown in Little Tokyo, and Rapid Fire, Lee's first four film roles, as well as a few comments about his TV appearances.
I discuss how the madcap end of Legacy of Rage gets all John Woo style, how the flawed Laser Mission is a new not-so-guilty pleasure, and Rapid Fire's strong action scenes yet middling nature.
