Cathy B Well Brando lee is well the Son Of the famous Bruce Lee. But he was his "own Man , wanted to be different and not to compare him to His Late Martial Arts Master..He almost as a actor made until His life cut short in March 30th 1994 filming "The Crow. This film is a action Packed Has Martial arts , but humor too lots of Action folks!!! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review Audience Member Rapid of mindless chaos with lame actions for sure Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Brandon Lee plays a university student who finds himself caught up between rival drug kingpins and a group of undercover cops, led by the great Powers Boothe, who are trying to take them down. Lee originally wanted John Woo ("The Killer" "Hard Boiled" "A Better Tomorrow") to direct this film, but this was prior to Woo making his Hollywood debut as director with "Hard Target," "Mission Impossible 2" and "Face-Off." A John Woo directed action film staring the son of Bruce Lee might have been an action film classic, but what you do end up with is Hollywood's best approximation of a Hong Kong style action film up to that point in time (Dolph Lundgren in 1993's "Army of One" directed by legendary stutman Vic Armstrong is my runner-up pick). Woo would make his US debut the following year and that's when Hong Kong directors would bring their style of action mayhem to American films with the likes of John Woo's "Broken Arrow," Ringo Lam's "Maximum Risk," or Ronny Yu's "Freddy vs. Jason" which brought a level on insanity to action films that had not ever been seen before in American films. That style of action is now standard, but at the time it was revolutionary and that's what this film could have been. Still, director Dwight H. Little's action does a pretty solid approximation of Hong Kong style of action mayhem. Brandon Lee also exudes charism and charm in his first major US film (I'm not sure "Laser Mission" or "Showdown in Little Tokyo" count.) Outside of "The Crow" this is his only other film of any note, but it's well worth watching for fans of martial arts action films. Michael Paul Chan ("Major Crimes" "The Closer" and Al Leong (the crazy Asian bad guy in "Die Hard" "Lethal Weapon" and "Big Trouble in Little China") also appear in the film. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Jeet Kune Do, Wing Chun, Muay Thai combined make for outstanding fight choreography in this action flick!!!!! Brandon Lee at his finest!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review joseph b Absolutely loved this film, the martial arts is fantastic, Brandon ooze's with charm and wit and has a presence on screen much his father showed. The plot is basic but for a pop-corn action flick it does the job it meant to do and that is entertain. Powers Booth as the renegade cop and father figure to Brandon's character, the love interest serves her purpose for Brandon's character and Nick Mancuso excels as a mob boss obsessed in finding and eliminating Brandon Lee's Jake Lo. This is an explosive martial arts action adventure for any martial arts fan. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review steve d Lee shows sparks of the star he could have been but the story is weak.
