Kad je Brendon Li odlučio da krene očevim stopama i uđe u svet filma, poređenja su bila neizbežna. Iako se suočio sa ozbiljnim izazovom bekstva od senke Brusa Lija, postojao je veliki potencijal da postane velika zvezda poštovana isključivo po talentu, a ne poreklu.

Nasledne karakteristike – fizički izgled, harizma, talenat, borilačke veštine – pomogle su mu da, nakon nekoliko manjih uloga, dođe do holivudskog angažmana u filmu Dolfa Landgrena Showdown in Little Tokyo. Ostvarenju kritika ni gledaoci nisu bili naklonjeni, ali je bilo jasno da bi, nakon dodatnog poliranja, Brendon mogao postati dijamant nove generacije.

Godine 1922. usledila je uloga u akcionoj drami Rapid Fire, a potom i njegova najpoznatija – kao Erik Drejven u filmu "Vrana" (The Crow), koja će mu biti i poslednja. U toku produkcije "Vrane", Li je već bio u pregovorima da reprizira ulogu u nastavku. Međutim, desila se tragedija…

U toku rutinske akrobacije na snimanju, iz pištolja je upucan pravim umesto lažnim metkom. Preminuo je od povreda. Imao je 28 godina.

"Vrana" je završena, postala filmski hit pristojne zarade, ali i kultno ostvarenje.

Prvog februara je trebalo da bude Brendonov 56. rođendan, a njegovi brojni obožavaoci su na društvenim mrežama iskazali poštovanje:

Remembering Brandon Lee on his birthday today. He played the role of one of my favorite characters, Eric Draven. It was because of his portrayal and the film The Crow, my son was given his name, Draven Lee Gray. pic.twitter.com/nJx7huka8I— Cellar_Dweller (@CellarDwel13r) February 1, 2021
