It pains me to give a movie like this three stars because "Legacy of Rage" is a fun 80s HK action flick. But let's be honest your going into this to watch Bruce Lee's son kickass and put a martial arts beatdown on some fools. Well, that's few far and in between as Lee only breaks out his fathers legendary martial arts a couple of times and it's very limited. Not only that but the film slows down a lot towards the middle and I mean A LOT, it picks back up during the final 15 minutes with some awesome carnage, but, sadly watching Bruce Lee's son machine gun people to death just left me hollow. I heard different rumors that director Ronny Yu literally had to beg Lee to perform any sort of martial arts as he refused, not sure if this is true, but, sadly I walked away from "Legacy of Rage" glad I'd seen it, but, disappointed to a certain extent. Also Bolo Yeung appears briefly as a thug and is sadly wasted and never seen again.

Legacy of Rage
(1986)
A decent HK action flick, with sadly minimal martial arts.
