      JAMCHI One of my favourite films of all time. Brandon Lee has great acting in this Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/18/23 Full Review omar r This film is really pushed forward through the charisma of the late Brandon Lee (RIP) and shows us a glips at his potential. It has a straightforward plot and was overall a fun watch and for his first film was really good. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The one & only HK film Brandon Lee was in. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Premier film de Brandon Lee, un film d'action des années 80 classique. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member i love this movie.Going by the story it has to be one of brandons best. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review dave j Thursday, June 3, 2010 (1986) Legacy of Rage (In Chinese with English subtitles) ACTION The only film Brandon Lee did in Hong Kong which was also the first film he did too. And I read somewhere where he stated that if can't do any of the stunts in Hong Kong since the Chinese do push the envelope whenever it comes to stunts and action in the 80's and 90's than you can't make it anywhere else!! This film has more realistic shooting than Brandon Lee's martial arts which whenever it does have any fighting, it is described as hard hitting, bloody, and extremely violent! The stupid storyline is to showcase what Brandon Lee could do stunt wise and is quite impressive that he wasn't even killed during the making of this film and ironic that he was killed on an American film and not this one! The irony of this was although this film was released during the same year as John Woo's film "A Better Tomorrow" and both consist as much shooting that it was John Woo's film that came out on top making it the higest grossing movie of the year in Hong Kong with a toal of 36 Million! Brendan Lee can't even speak a word of Chinese as well but his voiceovers like most foreigners is extremely well done! Footnote: Because this film was first released in Chinese (Cantonese)dialect with English subtitles- it sounds best in that language as well! The storyline is like "no stars" but the action is 4/4 ! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
