Legacy of Rage

Legacy of Rage-1080P

Trailer—Long zai jiang hu

Legacy of Rage is a great action/drama film. The film's plot is simple. Brandon Ma (LEE)is set up by his friend Micheal, so Micheal can still Brandon's girl. when Brandon gets out of jail, he has only one thing on his mind...REVENGE.The film has much more acting in it then expected but it is a joyful treat. Lee shows off his acting chops and showcases some sweet martial arts skills. Legacy of Rage also has some good gunplay scenes and the over the top violence is fun to watch. I believe this is Lee's 2nd best film. A must see for Brandon Lee fans. The film had a good budget and the storyline is exciting. It's a fun flick. But if you aren't a big foreign films person...don't bother with it.

I love this movie. It's ridiculous, over the top and cheesy as hell, but it's also really entertaining. The actors who dubbed Brandon etc all sound waaaaaay too old to be the voices of the characters and it really takes away from the enjoyment. Unsure about the name and why the keep promoting it with Bruce Lee's image as it has nothing to do with him and the 'legacy' angle has no place in the story. The fight scenes are well done and it's evident that Brandon was destined for amazing things x

"Legacy of Rage" proves that Brandon Lee had enough talent to become an action star in his own right, without counting only on his famous father's name. He is a strong, likable, handsome, assured and charismatic hero - and this is only his film debut! And when he gets angry, he is one dude you don't want to mess with. Regina Kent is adorable as his girlfriend, and Michael Wong turns in a convincing performance, as he changes from a bitter young man to a ruthless crime boss. The film itself is rather slow and unexceptional story-wise (half prison flick, half revenge flick), distinguished from similar American fare mostly by a few superb hand-to-hand fight scenes and the amount of blood in the climax. (**1/2)

Legacy of Rage is Brandon Lees first major role and he did a decent job here. The Plot is nothing new but it was well filmed and the pacing was good. The Director Ronny Yu made some great Movies in the past like Fredy vs Jason or Bride of Chucky but he shows he can Action too, The Final Shootout was very enjoyable and stylish reminds me of John Woo Movies. Legacy of Rage is a solid Action/Drama and recommended for all Brandon Lee and Action Fans.

It pains me to give a movie like this three stars because "Legacy of Rage" is a fun 80s HK action flick. But let's be honest your going into this to watch Bruce Lee's son kickass and put a martial arts beatdown on some fools. Well, that's few far and in between as Lee only breaks out his fathers legendary martial arts a couple of times and it's very limited. Not only that but the film slows down a lot towards the middle and I mean A LOT, it picks back up during the final 15 minutes with some awesome carnage, but, sadly watching Bruce Lee's son machine gun people to death just left me hollow. I heard different rumors that director Ronny Yu literally had to beg Lee to perform any sort of martial arts as he refused, not sure if this is true, but, sadly I walked away from "Legacy of Rage" glad I'd seen it, but, disappointed to a certain extent. Also Bolo Yeung appears briefly as a thug and is sadly wasted and never seen again.

Made by D & B Films (no need to thank me), "Long zai jiang hu" was the first movie I saw with Brandon Lee - unlike the other posters, I actually saw it when it came out - and it was ultimately nothing too special, but all of the action stars of the past and present have had to work their way up, and it was certainly better than "Rapid Fire" and "Showdown In Little Tokyo" (which was admittedly entertaining in a cheap way, Tia Carrere's obvious body double and the snuff video scene with that gorgeous blonde notwithstanding). The action's okay, and the scene where our hero bursts a villain's eye with a garotte still makes me wince 16 years later, but the best bit is when our hero visits a wimpy friend to get some armed help; wimpy friend says "I only have these," and unveils an armoury that would give Charlton Heston wet dreams. Still, you do wonder what would have happened had Brandon lived.

LEGACY OF RAGE is a decent Hong Kong action thriller of the mid 1980s and a film that marked a rare foray into Hong Kong cinema for Bruce Lee's son Brandon. He plays a mild-mannered and somewhat simple young waiter whose romance with a fellow employee is soon destroyed by the misadventures of his crime boss buddy, as played by a slimy Michael Wong. The plot that follows is surprisingly serious and slow-paced, a prison film for much of the running time, although the last fifteen minutes makes up for the earlier lack of action by letting rip with some crazy vehicle stunts, explosives, and violent shoot-outs. This film boasts strong production values and an excellent cast of Hong Kong cinema greats, including Michael Chan Wai-Man as another gangster, Hoi Mang as a key ally, and Ku Feng as a prison guard. I loved it.

Brandon Lee is mad as hell in this mid 80's action flick from Hong Kong. Lee and his buddy (Michael Wong) are the best of friends, that's until a strange twist of fate changes their lives for ever. Crazy action and fluid directing by Ronny Yu keeps this from turning into your average mindless chop socky flick. Bolo Yeung makes a cameo appearance (completing the circle). Hoi Mang co-stars (as well as directing the fight scenes) along with Regina Kent (A Better Tomorrow II) and Ng Man Tat. The final act of this film is definitely one-of-a-kind and it is simply mind blowing! Highly recommended for H.K. Cinema fans!! A Factoid: Michael Wong and Brandon Lee's voices are looped by other actors.
