Rapid Fire (1992)

Rapid Fire is a 1992 martial arts action film starring Brandon Lee, Powers Boothe, Nick Mancuso, and Tzi Ma, directed by Dwight H. Little (Marked for Death, Murder At 1600). This was Brandon Lee's first film as fight choreographer, and his second to last starring role. Brandon Lee was reportedly in talks for a sequel right before his tragic death on the set of The Crow.

Trivia: When Brandon Lee was in Sweden doing promotion for Rapid Fire, he filmed a cameo as a favor to director Richard Holm. This cameo, in the Swedish film Sex, lögner & videovåld (Sex, Lies and Video Violence), released six years after his death, would be his final screen credit.

The following weapons were used in the film Rapid Fire:


Handguns

Smith & Wesson 39

Jake Lo (Brandon Lee) takes away a henchman's Smith & Wesson 39 and uses it briefly in the shootout at Chang's.

Suppressors are screwed in. It's clear in this shot that the suppressor is being INTO the barrel, not ONTO the barrel.(Apparently Anderson and Daniels were okay with performing a mob hit with their service weapons.)

Now that he's with cops, Daniels has removed the suppressor. Maybe he can explain to them why the bullets in Agent Klein came from his service weapon.

Smith & Wesson 659

In two separate continuity errors, the Taurus PT92AFS's turn into Smith & Wesson 659s.

Daniels' PT92AFS is now a S&W 659. This might have to do with the fact that Jake is able to kick the pistol out of Daniels' hands and onto the bed.
