Rapid Fire is a 1992 action film starring the late Brandon Lee in his first leading role in an American film and the last film to be released while he was alive.
When student Jake Lo (Brandon Lee) witnesses a killing, he finds himself caught between two feuding drug lords. Betrayed and set up by the federal agents protecting him, the only ones he can trust are Ryan, a single-minded Chicago cop (Powers Boothe), and Karla Withers (Kate Hodge), an officer he becomes romantically involved with. To clear his name, Jake agrees to help Ryan bring down the drug lords.
