How much potential did Brandon Lee have to break out into the A-list had he lived?

Or more to the point, the potential to break out in straight dramatic roles, that didn't immediately call for his physicality?

I was watching this video retrospective:

It was noted that Brandon was you could say, ethnically ambiguous, which could be both a positive and negative depending on your point of view.

Regardless, Brandon definitely had leading man good looks and the charisma (as seen in Rapid Fire and Showdown in Little Tokyo) to potentially rise of above the decidedly niche martial arts market.

No future considering he had to star in homo flicks like this

Take your unwanted comments and go fuck yourself. The Crow was not a "homo" flick as you so eloquently allege.

People hype him up way too much (check the comments on youtube). It's not a star-making performance. He could have been easily be trapped doing B-movies like Dolph Lundgren.
