LEGACY OF RAGE is a decent Hong Kong action thriller of the mid 1980s and a film that marked a rare foray into Hong Kong cinema for Bruce Lee's son Brandon. He plays a mild-mannered and somewhat simple young waiter whose romance with a fellow employee is soon destroyed by the misadventures of his crime boss buddy, as played by a slimy Michael Wong. The plot that follows is surprisingly serious and slow-paced, a prison film for much of the running time, although the last fifteen minutes makes up for the earlier lack of action by letting rip with some crazy vehicle stunts, explosives, and violent shoot-outs. This film boasts strong production values and an excellent cast of Hong Kong cinema greats, including Michael Chan Wai-Man as another gangster, Hoi Mang as a key ally, and Ku Feng as a prison guard. I loved it.
