Saw the Brandon Lee Rapid fire when I was a kid with my grandma. I was only 9 years old and we both shared our love of action movies together. Love you grams!
I saw the Brandon Lee movie at a movie theater back in the day. I think it's a pretty solid action movie. It's a real shame Lee's career was so short. He could've done so much more.
Lee wasn't a great actor, he played a lot of horrible roles in some pretty bad films. The Crow was never intended to be a hit movie. Ernie Hudson almost didn't do the film. We'll never know how that film would have affected his career.
Man, Brandon Lee sure was in the making to be a legend of action flicks RIP. I think both are good but Brandon's just straight up amazing in every way possible. The kind of movie that you watch on a bad day and just forget about the world for 90 minutes
He's the villain in the Van Damme movie Sudden Death which is basically Die Hard in a hockey arena. Would be a good film to cover if anyone ever sends in a copy.
His first starring role was as the Reverend Jim Jones in a telemovie on the tragedy. He was great in that, crazy and paranoid in the jungle, ordering his followers around over the PA. But he's great in this one too.
I actually saw this movie being filmed when I was a kid. I was around 8 years old. I was visiting my dad in Chicago. When we were heading home from a Cubs game, we saw something being filmed. It was the scene of Brandon Lee dragging the bad guy out of the restaurant after kicking everyone's ass inside. Between takes, the "actor in the black tank top" came over and said hi to everyone watching the filming. Had no idea it was this movie until I saw it years later. Was pretty cool that I got to see this being filmed and got to meet Brandon Lee before he passed away.
The song in the Brandon Lee Love Scene is "Can't find my way" from the band Hardline from the 1992 album Double Eclipse. This album was a project fron Neal Schon (Guitarist/Mainsongwriter from Journey) and Johnny Gioelli on Vocals. This album is a total blast for early 90th Hard Rock!
Composer for the good Rapid Fire is the very underrated Christopher Young who's mostly known for his horror film scores like Hellraiser, Pet Semetary, and the Grudge series. The film soundtrack/score goes for a pretty penny. Happy to have it in my collection.
Indeed. CY has made some of my favourite film scores. Hardline gave few songs for Rapid Fire on a very same year I bought their debute album.❤ Good old '90s.
This double-feature was amazing! The movies were sufficiently different to not be repetitive, but both were super fun. I definitely need to see the Brandon Lee one for myself now.
The main bad guy in Brandon Lees Rapid Fire was not only in rush hour but also the main bad guy in Sifu Seagals A Good Man you missed that one Jason 😂😂😂 Hilarious reactions, damm shame Brandon Lee passed away he was on the edge of greatness. As for David A. Priors Rapid Fire it's pure gold SBIG 😂😂😂 Night Feeders Suicide Child never gets old 😂😂😂
@JasonBrant Sword fight 😂 Well Sifu Seagal did a one swipe sword kill which was a big effort for him & disappointment for his stunt double not getting paid that day 😂
1120am in Alaska, coffee and dabs ready to go, LET'S DO THIS!!!! I was looking for a new job, mine is CLOSING at the end of the month. Not sad to see it go. ON WIT DA FUN
Another B-grade action flick you should look out for is Drive (1997) with Mark Dacascos. Silly premise and cheesy dialogue but awesome action scenes. Great popcorn movie.
@@theaikidoka Yeah, man! And as a kid growing up in the nineties with Batman: The Animated Series, I always thought that Brittany Murphy'd make a perfect Harley Quinn, based off of Drive! Awesome movie. Love Mark Dacascos
I really liked Powers Booth as JCVD's antagonist in the movie "Sudden Death". "Me? Ha! I'm not the one paying some neanderthal 40 million dollars to skate up and down a slab of ice."
10:00-His dad worked for the US Army, one part of that was hand to hand combat training, which he passed on to his son...because life/art and all that.
The Brandon Lee version had Dustin Ngyun from 21 Jump Street the show and the David Pryor villain looks like the guy strapped to the chair in "Bodies Hit the Floor" music video.
First movie that always comes to mind with Powers Boothe is Extreme Prejudice. He chews up every scene he's in and I'm pretty sure he's boozed up through most of it.
SO glad to see that flashback to the 'DAMN DAMN DAMN SUCH A RISK!" song from a couple months back. I can't remember the movie's name but that song is in my head forever now. As for these movies, totally agree with the summary: Prior Rapid Fire = purest SBIG material. Lee Rapid Fire = competent badassery in a B-movie budget. It's criminal what happened to Brandon Lee, he should have been a leading man the last 30 years by now.
It's ridiculous how many he's been in, sometimes just in the background, but he's very recognisable. Funny that Al, James Liu and Gerald Okamura always tend to be the go-to's for being an Asian bad guy in these kinds of movies...I wonder if there are any movies with all three of them in it...
I haven't seen anyone complaining how Jackie Chan's character in Dragons Forever where he plays a lawyer knows martial arts. Here Jason questioning how Brandon Lee's character knows martial arts? Who cares! It's a fun action movie.
Cool episode guys. Definitely both flicks are S. B. I. G!!!! Bring us more please Jason you have made us very thirsty for this style of content. I've seen other similar channels and you guys are hands down the best out there. Keep it up we are loving it. Thanks guys!!!!
Brandon's father who got killed earlier in the film was an ex general who taught fighting at Langley, so it was from his father that he learned how to fight.
The glove the bad guy uses to gut punch Brandon Lee, was a sap glove. It has about 10 oz of lead shot sewn into little pockets, so old men can punch like Tyson. :) Kinda like brass knuckles. Standard equipment for mobsters. I don't think he's a secret agent, he just does Kung-fu and has a temper... He can shoot well because murica...
Jake's father, a military figure who trained a bunch of soldiers in muay thai, etc., was the one the cops were talking about when they first brought Jake in for questioning after the first big shootout. They're basically implying that Jake's dad taught him several forms of martial arts; that's why he's just some dude that can kick major ass
I'm glad you liked the Brandon Lee movie. I was a fan of Brandon because of this movie, before The Crow came out. I was always a massive Bruce fan and was excited to see what Brandon could do with something like The Crow. I think he died within a month or so from when Rapid Fire came out on VHS. It was devastating to hear what happened to him.
I will always remember Al Leong as Ghengis Kahn from "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure." I remember Power's Booth from "Red Dawn." Great stuff! You guys are awesome!
Rapid Fire (1992) shows how much of the goat the late Brandon Lee was. He was movie star handsome, a kick ass martial artist, can do great gunplay and can actually act. Hell he would've given Steven Seagal a run for his money.
@@eduardopena5893 sorry, I meant which films did they use that effect in with Bruce Lee films. It's why I asked so I knew where to look. ☺️ Love the connections between their careers ☺️
Powers Boothe was also in a neat movie called The Emerald Forest. Saw that way back on HBO when I was a kid heh. Also, Al Leong and Gerald Okamura were the cleaver and gun toting Wing Kongs and James Lew was a Chang Sing "Hey man, who is this guy?"
I believe the long haired guy in the first movie that traps Brandon Lee with the art model is Dustin Nguyen who you all might know best as the partner of Johnny Depp on 21 Jump Street the TV show.
This show has shown me many things, but Dickpool wrestling a bear to end a movie is the most WTF thing ever! To clear up the Brandon Lee movie, Jake Lo's dad was a subject matter expert for the military and trained his son (Jake).
I think it's said that Jake's dad was in Army Intelligence, so it would be safe to say he was an actual Army officer and not a civilian specialist. I do agree that him teaching also teaching the martial arts at Langley (which the assumption would be the CIA headquarters or some other CIA facility) would make the assumption Jake's dad is a subject matter expert on the martial arts.
Judo Gene LeBell - who played “Red-Haired Gunman at Serrano’s Place” in Lee’s Rapid Fire (the guy with the double barreled machine gun) - is MIMI LESSEOS’ UNCLE. He also choked out SIFU SEAGAL on the set of Out for Justice (until Seagal pooped himself, as the legend goes)…
if you and Dave ripped Brian for "edge lighting", which the Prior movie had btw, you and Brian need to rip Dave for an entire month for "sloan". 😆😂 this had to be the greatest back-to-back review SBIG episode ever. Just two bangers, knocked it out of the park.
Nick Mancuso was the main bad guy in Brandon Lee's Rapid Fire. You might recognize him as the CIA jerk, Tom Breaker, from both of Sifu Seagal's Under Siege movies. Also, the agent with the grey hair and the asian guy killed at the party were both in "Falling Down" with Micheal Douglas
@@JasonBrant I read Al "Ka-Bong!" Leong's life story and found out why me moved to Hollywood in the first place. Not to be a martial arts legend, but to open and run a Motocross circuit. As we all know now, he got a little side-tracked.
9:01 - the guy talking about the Brandon Lee character's history (wearing the red tie) - John Vickery! He played the Cardassian officer 'Rusot' in Star Trek: Deep Space 9!
Brandon lee was a big jackie chan and john woo fan. The bike riding through the glass is like in police story, and he using a clothes rail in the al leong fight. He also choreographed the fight scene's with his friend Jeff imada.
I sent the first one in. I'm glad you liked Brandon Lee's Rapid Fire, considering you didn't really like his other movies. Dude had charisma and could have been a star. I saw this when it first came on video and always loved how all the action was done. The same director did Marked for Death and Halloween 4.
@@Richard-d2i I never saw that one. It was hard to find on video when I was really into those movies back in the 90s. I just never got around to checking it out.
@badbirdkc if you like John Woo/Chow Yun Fat films with a sprinkle of martial arts it's defo worth checking out. Has an appearance by Bolo Yeung too. What sort of films you into nowadays?
Supposedly when the Wachowskis were first kicking around the Matrix ideas they had him in mind. Hell, he was supposedly gonna be offered Johnny Cage in MK, the irony would be off the charts...
Both these films are too good to choose between, and damn were these reviews entertaining. I don't know how many times you can do a double billing like this but hopefully we get more here and there.
I have been watching every episode after the "Night Feeder" episode just waiting for you to cut to "Slit your wrist". That song should be in the rock and roll hall of fame.
The big guy was Tony Longo. He was about 6'6"; his weight was variable, but it was about 300 lbs during his acting career. He died relatively young. And, no, his wasn't an athlete. In the second movie, the battleship is the USS Alabama.
Which is the better SBIG movie?
Suburban Sasquatch
The one and ONLY, Brandon Lee
It was obviously Rapid Fire
Yes
@@JasonBrant David A Prior Rapidfire was the better SBIG. Brandon Lee's was a better action movie
Saw the Brandon Lee Rapid fire when I was a kid with my grandma. I was only 9 years old and we both shared our love of action movies together. Love you grams!
Your grandma sounds great!
never stop using that Night Feeder clip! i die laughing every time
I still laugh at it too.
The Brandon Lee "Rapid Fire" isn't "So Bad It's Good," it's just a good movie!
We agree!
I had seen the Brandon Lee rapid fire in the movie. It was pretty good, but I I do not remember the plot.
So good it's movies
Damn right!
@@JasonBrant Which is a shame, because there was a sequel in the works.
Powers Booth's performance in Rapid Fire was great. He cracked me up playing the crotchety old detective! RIP Powers Booth
He was great, as usual.
@@JasonBrant Powers Booth was also in Tombstone. He played Curly Bill, the leader of the Cowboys. Johnny Ringo was played by Michael Biehn.
Second greatest shouty actor of his generation after Al Pacino.
Powers Booth is incredible in Deadwood.
@@grumpycouch6403 And Red Dawn!

It really is a solid movie.
100% in agreement. Was horrified when he was shot on the set. So much more he could have done.
RIP Bruce and Brandon Lee.🙏
Lee wasn't a great actor, he played a lot of horrible roles in some pretty bad films. The Crow was never intended to be a hit movie. Ernie Hudson almost didn't do the film. We'll never know how that film would have affected his career.
He would have been in The Expendables most likely
I heard he was the first choice to play Neo in the Matrix. He would have been amazing
The cutaway to the Night Feeder's suicide child is 100% my favourite one to date. It always gets me 😂
It still makes me laugh.
Man, UA-cam keeps removing the full lyrics to the song. Oh well. We all get the gist from the four lines in the movie
Here's The Nuns performing Suicide child live. ua-cam.com/video/iW0umAlaCso/v-deo.htmlsi=Oka9hof5ujDSm1Mk
The full song is on UA-cam.
The highlight of any video they make that calls back to it!
Man, Brandon Lee sure was in the making to be a legend of action flicks RIP.
I think both are good but Brandon's just straight up amazing in every way possible. The kind of movie that you watch on a bad day and just forget about the world for 90 minutes
Glad to see these episodes getting longer. "Solid B Movie" sounds like a good third category.
Powers Booth is most known for Curly Bill, in Tombstone. He's also in The Avengers and Sin City.
I'm ashamed that Tombstone wasn't the first thing to come to mind.
Cy Toliver in Deadwood also
Also 'Red Dawn'.
He's the villain in the Van Damme movie Sudden Death which is basically Die Hard in a hockey arena. Would be a good film to cover if anyone ever sends in a copy.
His first starring role was as the Reverend Jim Jones in a telemovie on the tragedy. He was great in that, crazy and paranoid in the jungle, ordering his followers around over the PA. But he's great in this one too.
Damn that fight with Brandon and Al Leong was fire!
So damn good!
Rapid Fire
The bit with the spinning wheeled laundry rack was a reference to Jackie Chan's Police Story.
Al graduating from regular goon to boss fight. :p
1:02:17 Quotes like "The first Rapid Fire is lube" is how I know that this youtube channel is for someone like me.
"Tombstone" is definitely a quality Booth Powers flick, but everyone forgets "Southern Comfort". That movie is legit.
Extreme Prejudice too

Goes from 'NOPE' to 'Oh FFS...' *facepalms*
Cool idea doing both in one episode, proper SBIG standoff l
The battle of the century.
Jason explaining the plot is so much more fun than the actual plot lol
Rapid Fire is Fucking Awesome. One of the most underrated movies of the 90s
The Perfect Weapon was another solid b movie
11am in Alaska, coffee and dabs ready to go, PAUSE TIL I GET HOME BUT TAKE MY LIKE!!!
Thanks!
Looking forward to this one Jason! Your vids always help me get through my shit job.
Thanks! I hope you dig it!

Love you guys! Thanks for all the good times 😁
Thanks so much!

Good luck with the search!
The third stamp needs to be “the Dave”. It’s a statue of Dave in his sifu outfit in pure gold… like an Oscar.
Another B-grade action flick you should look out for is Drive (1997) with Mark Dacascos. Silly premise and cheesy dialogue but awesome action scenes. Great popcorn movie.
I second this
It was actually written for Jackie Chan and Sylvester Stallone, if you can believe that.
I saw that one by complete chance a long time ago...turned the channel over in time to see Dacascos kicking huge amounts of ass.
Drive is genuinely great, and an added incentive is the sadly departed Brittany Murphy as a comic relief.
@@theaikidoka Yeah, man! And as a kid growing up in the nineties with Batman: The Animated Series, I always thought that Brittany Murphy'd make a perfect Harley Quinn, based off of Drive! Awesome movie. Love Mark Dacascos
It's a good thing they did away with "Prison Guards bring your Throwing Stars to Work Day" back in the mid-90s.
My favorite Brandon Lee "Rapid Fire" quote: "Pop Tarts!.....More Pop Tarts."
And the fight choreography is some of my favorite ever.
I really liked Powers Booth as JCVD's antagonist in the movie "Sudden Death".
"Me? Ha! I'm not the one paying some neanderthal 40 million dollars to skate up and down a slab of ice."
That bowling alley, Fireside Bowl, used to host punk rock shows in the 90s and 00s. Such good times.
"Because being my dad's son, soley being my dad's son, I've had the opportunity to be in a lot of stupid action movies I've turned down."
-Brandon Lee
I mean...we still enjoyed quite a few of them, regardless of that fact. (don't mention the lack of lasers in Laser Mission)
That's a real quote? Nice.
How did he end up in the movies he turned down? That quote makes no sense.
59:15 Off-Cam Pam's Navajo Spirit Vision, coming through CLUTCH! 🤘😎🤘
10:00-His dad worked for the US Army, one part of that was hand to hand combat training, which he passed on to his son...because life/art and all that.
Jason's always taking a sip of beer whenever a funny moment happens in the movie. Love it.
Powers Booth swear count always makes me chuckle. Great film. Love the wing chun bit in the fight near the end.
5:15 dude stole a candy bar from the nakatomi plaza on Christmas eve lol
The Brandon Lee version had Dustin Ngyun from 21 Jump Street the show and the David Pryor villain looks like the guy strapped to the chair in "Bodies Hit the Floor" music video.
"This guy has been drinking all day!...like I'm currently doing."🤣🤣🤣
"let's go ice-hole!!" lmao! These were great to watch.
First movie that always comes to mind with Powers Boothe is Extreme Prejudice. He chews up every scene he's in and I'm pretty sure he's boozed up through most of it.

If I watched the first Rapid Fire without knowing anything about the actors, director, etc., I would've thought it was a Brandon Lee vanity project.
Yeah, but it would have been an example of a good vanity project.
Hell, I didnt even know Bruce has a kid. I saw showdown in little tokyo before RF and was like, "this guy's a ass-kicking smart-ass. I like him!"
Al Leong is THE quintessential 80's/90's action movie henchman.
I loved him playing Genghis Khan in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure
It's ridiculous how many he's been in, sometimes just in the background, but he's very recognisable. Funny that Al, James Liu and Gerald Okamura always tend to be the go-to's for being an Asian bad guy in these kinds of movies...I wonder if there are any movies with all three of them in it...

16:24 DARK HELMET: "Everybody get that?!?"
The coffee scene with "HOT...TOO HOT" with Dark Helmets mask down gets me everytime. Idk why. We need more Mel Brooks movies.
The awesome power ballad was from an awesome group. Hardline. Gotta check their debut album. His voice was incredible.
Have you done Showdown in Little Tokyo yet? The Crow and He-Man team up to take on Shang Tsung.
Love this type of content. Full hour of these goofballs watching silly movies. Sifu would never understand
Slowly hold your hand out in front of you and you become an instant bad ass.
Third stamp name idea "so good, you forget its bad".
I have been watching every episode after the "Night Feeder" episode just waiting for you to cut to "Slit your wrist".

There's no gambling at Bushwood. Okay, you can owe me!

Brandon Lee's "Rapid Fire" is easily the far superior version & is my 2nd favorite movie of Brandon's next to of course the Iconic original Crow!!
I think your third stamp should just be a thumbs up

In the second movie, the battleship is the USS Alabama.
