Great Debut For Brandon Lee!, It's Action Packed, With A Very Cool Story And Excellent Performances!

This was a great debut for Brandon Lee, it's action packed, with a very cool story and awesome performances. all the characters were great, and it had quite a few shocking moments, plus Michael Wong is extremely menacing as the main villain. The violence in this film is not pretty, and, the ending really pours it on, plus Brandon lee had good chemistry with all of the cast. It's exciting throughout, and the finale is full of gunfire, plus Brandon lee's dubbing was surprisingly not that bad at all!. They really don't make em like this no more, and the film is very stylish, plus the film pulls no punches. Yes it's a little predictable, however i still enjoyed it very much and Brandon Lee's presence clearly helped a lot, plus the prison scenes were really cool!. There isn't a lot of martial arts action however it's quite exciting, plus the ending was great. This was a great debut for Brandon Lee, it's action packed with a very cool story, and awesome performances, i highly recommend this one!. The Direction is very good. Ronny Yu does a very good job here, with great camera work, awesome angles keeping it stylish, and he kept the film at a very fast pace. There is TONS of blood and violence. We get a stabbing, lots of harsh bloody beatings,Hundreds of extremely bloody gunshot wounds,people spurt out blood all over the place throughout,eye bashed out,gory impaling and tons of blood!. The Acting is excellent!. Brandon lee is AMAZING as he always was, and was amazing here, he is extremely likable, witty, kicked that ass had good chemistry with the cast, and was just tons of fun to watch!, his dubbing wasn't too bad either(Brandon Ruled!). Bolo Yeung is good in his very short role, however his dubbing was terrible, and i didn't see enough of him sadly. (Bolo Rules). Regina Kent is good in her role, she was cute and had good chemistry with Brandon. Michael Wong is excellent as the main villain, he was extremely menacing and unpredictable. Rest of the cast are fine. Overall i highly recommend this one!. ***1/2 out of 5

Brandon Lee makes it in Hong Kong cinema

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.

An average action movie...

For a first movie with a leading role, then "Legacy of Rage" was a very generic and not particularly memorable movie for Brandon Lee. I was, however, surprised that Brandon Lee actually seriously started his career in Hong Kong cinema.

I was unfortunately watching an English dubbed DVD without the option to switch to the original Cantonese audio track. Granted that it was dubbed, it wasn't the worst of dubbing jobs in Asian movies, but still...

The story was adequate, but it was just a bit too forced and scripted, and Brandon Lee weren't given that many opportunities to showcase his skills, neither acting nor martial arts.

Aside from Brandon Lee then "Legacy of Rage" also starred Michael Wong, in what might actually be one of this more impressive and memorable roles. I didn't know that Michael Wong had acted opposite Brandon Lee, so that was a nice treat. The movie also has a small appearance by Bolo Yeung (yep, the memorable bad guy from "Blood Sport").

While fun to watch Brandon Lee's first movie in a leading role, then "Legacy of Rage" wasn't particularly memorable. This movie might appeal to die-hard fans of Brandon Lee, but it doesn't offer much for the fans of Hong Kong cinema.
