WING CHUN FILM SERIES: RAPID FIRE





A real GEM this one though I doubt not to everyone's taste.

Starring the son of the legend who became a legend in his own right in the film The Crow.

I do like this and it stars one of my favourite actors, Powers Boothe from Southern Comfort fame and has a good story, for me anyway, and some pretty nifty action shots.

Also that Chinese chap who appears in almost anything martial arts related and i have loved seeing him over the years from Big Trouble in Little China with Kurt Russell and Kim Catrall to Lethal Weapon with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover and later Joe Pesci.

Someone states in the film that the kid does "Wing Chun and Muay Thai" looks alot like Jeet Kune Do then?! LOL!!

Loved the scene near the beginning when a guy comes running at him with a gun and he slides under a table and kicks the edge of the table top and it flips up and hits the guy in the face!!

Fight with the two bent cops, great stuff!

Or when he grabs his crotch and says something in Chinese to Powers Boothe and he askes the Chinese guy on his team what he says and he replies "he says he thinks he loves you!"

Only ever seen this on DVD and that is what format this copy is on. A rare gem it really is.

Only bad side is that Brandon, or Jake Lo, has an incessant determination to resist doing the right thing gets a bit much and you feel ike slapping him yourself (laughs) to wake him up.
