Reviews
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Freaktana A Major Disappointment
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Leofwine_draca 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.
ManBehindTheMask63 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.
Joseph P. Ulibas 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.
BigGuy I thought, how could a movie with Brandon Lee and Bolo Yeung possibly be boring. I expected very little plot substance, but at least one or two good fight scenes. Even the climatic fight scene was ho-hum.When Brandon Lee fights a bad guy in this movie, it is punch one or two punches and it is over. His fight against Bolo was just like that. Bolo goes for a punch Brandon punches twice and it is over, next bad guy please.The acting is weak at best. Probably not helped by horrendous dubbing. But even the facial expressions weren't that great (perhaps on par with other really bad Hong Kong Action movies) with anger looking more like shocked constipation.Definitely not worth the time.
