Commissioned by listener Rob H., this early-'90s cult favorite blends Chicago mobsters, Chinese Triads, and some of the most inventive martial arts choreography of the decade. Listener Rob calls it \"an absolute belter\" and wonders how big Brandon Lee might have become had tragedy not cut his career short. Gene and Big D revisit Lee's undeniable screen presence, Powers Boothe's mustache-free oddness, and a string of brilliantly staged fight scenes that turn restaurant pillars, cutlery drawers, and even laundry racks into weapons. Along the way, they debate whether Rapid Fire is a gritty action gem, a glorified Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie without the turtle suits, or simply the finest use of a clothing rail in cinematic history. Is Rapid Fire the forgotten martial arts classic that proved Brandon Lee was destined for stardom—or just a formulaic early-'90s thriller elevated by charisma, choreography, and pure ass-kicking energy? Full movie info below After witnessing the murder of his father during the Tiananmen Square protests, a college student with elite martial arts skills is drawn into a deadly war between federal agents, the Chicago mob, and Chinese drug traffickers when he becomes the key witness in a major criminal case.
