YES….YES…YEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!! This is my favorite movie ever! The Crow is actually is a multilayered film, it deals with vengeance, sorrow, dealing with loss, and the true power of love. I am a total nerd for this movie. Brandon Lee was engaged to be married when filming wrapped, but sadly he passed away. At the end credits when it sayFor Brandon and Eliza, Eliza was his fiancé. Also; Chad Stahenski, the director of John Wick, was Brandon’s stunt double who stood in after Brandon died.

James O'Barr was 18, he became engaged to a girl named Beverley. Beverley was hit and killed by a drunk driver before they got married. James began work on The Crow graphic novel as a way to deal with his grief. I met him at my first Comic Con when it was in Seattle and got my Crow's and Northstar #1 signed.

Mine is signed by the man as well. Ernie Hudson signed my copy of the movie. :)

“People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right.”

@@rayharley597 No, she was an officer for BLM (Bureau of Land Management) who confronted some ranch hands poisoning coyotes. The rancher they worked for was a militia leader who decided it was now or never to send a message. He had his men set off a fertilizer bomb in front of her office building, a la Tim McVeigh, killing her, her unborn child, and several innocent bystanders. She was pretty badass as far as Crows go. First guy she went after she told him about the poor old lady who came by the office to pick up her pension check and wound up buried under concrete and took hours to bleed to death. So she mortally wounds him then buries him alive in a ditch. Would've made for an interesting sequel. Also that one about the Indian that was murdered by Confederate soldiers who comes back to life hundreds of years later to get revenge on his killers, reincarnated into drug dealing bikers.

[@BainesMkII]

I know some parts of the movie were changed, presumably in the aftermath of Lee's death. For example, you can see shots where Eric has spent bullet casings tied into his hair, but there are no scenes of him actually doing it. I can't remember if the original comic book story was even finished when the movie script was written; I want to recall there being a pretty big gap before the fifth issue was published. I'd always figured that was the reason the movie falls apart after Eric kills the gang members (which covered issues 1-4).

Brandon Lee indeed did have allot of fun with this role. He had a chance to play his dad in the Bruce Lee biography film Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. But he turned it down because he did not want to imitate his dad and then took The Crow role instead.

I'd say that anybody who would know who _Sting_ is (not so much anymore since he returned to AEW) would get the reference of the Crow despite when it came out, considering Sting's been around since the 80s. Of course he got the most popular when he became the "vengeful spirit" of WWE and just kind of lingered around with his baseball bat and silently stared at people.

Hell yeah. One of the best live stories ever. It’s sad he died during the filming. You should look up the circumstances regarding his death. It was an unfortunate chain of events.

[@iceman1833]

I am still baffled how a “blank” gun blows up like that!🤔🤔🤔

[@japython]

@@iceman1833 The gun used was by no means a blank gun, the gun used was a Smith & Wesson Model 629 44 Magnum Revolver, during close ups the weapon was loaded with improperly made dummy round cartridges that are made to look like real bullets for close up shots of the revolver so it will look loaded, they forgot to remove the primers from the rounds, at some point before the accident someone fired the gun and even though there was no powder in the bullets the charge was enough to cause te bullet to get lodged in the barrel, finally when they were going to shoot the scene they loaded the gun with blank rounds which have primers and gunpowder, the resulting shot fired the bullet lodged in the barrel out of the gun with the same force as a standard bullet striking Brandon in the Abdomen.

[@McPh1741]

@@iceman1833 This is what happened in a nutshell. During filming there were 2 types of ammo on set, prop bullets and blanks. The prop bullets are realistic looking live ammo but with no primer and no powder in the cartridges. Blank ammo is, well blanks, they go bang, pretty much live ammo with no projectile. At one point a prop master was sent out to buy REAL 44 magnum ammo to use as prop ammo. The bullets were removed and the powder poured out. however, the primers were left in. One of the prop bullets was put in Funboy's gun and he pulled the trigger on it. The primer went off and surprised everyone. The gun was unloaded but they didn't see that the primer had enough pressure to shoot the bullet out of the cartridge and it got stuck in the barrel. During one of the scenes when Funboy shoots Brandon, the blank round went off and had enough pressure to push the bullet out the rest of the way and he basically shot Brandon in the chest.

So glad you did this one. A classic for sure. I really think no other actor of that generation really would've 'got' what this character was all about. The way you mentioned the style of it and how it stood out from the other films, I think was definitely enhanced because of how deeply thoughtful Brandon Lee was about the emotional core of Eric. He was such a unique and gifted person. Being a 90s teen, that whole era and this film is all bottled up in a special time. I hope it's a rewatchable for you. Brandon Lee's on set interview is so poignant, and I usually search it out on here after a Crow viewing.

The flashback scene of Eric's death was originally going to show Funboy shooting him, but a bullet head had gotten stuck in the prop gun barrel earlier, and they foolishly sent the gun expert home early before he could even look at it. So when Michael Masse fired the blank round at Brandon, he unknowingly dislodged the stuck bullet at him, so it was just like shooting a real bullet. Contrary to popular belief, the footage of Brandon's death was not included in the final cut - it was destroyed and the scene was re-shot in first person view, with a stunt double, and changed to show Tin Tin throwing a knife at him instead. And when Eric is thrown out the window, Brandon's face is digitally inserted over the stuntman's.

[@90sPinoyKid]

This film is definitely a cult classic! It was unfortunate it was Brandon’s last film. You should definitely check out the film he made before this called Rapid Fire it’s his best martial arts film! Big Trouble in Little Tokyo is also a fun watch too!

[@davidanderson1639]

Ever since having seen The Crow upon its release, it has been one of my most favourite films. Not only because the performances are excellent, but because it’s visually stunning, has possibly one of the best soundtracks; & also because of what Proyas achieved. The Crow was filmed somewhat back to front; with Brandon Lee filming all the scenes of him in make up first. This meant that the scenes of him without the now iconic make up would be some of the last filmed on the production; & sadly the last Lee would’ve ever film. On March 31, 1993, Lee was filming a scene where his character, Eric, is shot after witnessing the beating and rape of his fiancée. Actor Michael Massee's character Funboy fires a .44 Smith & Wesson Model 639 revolver at Lee as he walks into the room. A previous scene using the same gun had called for inert dummy cartridges fitted with bullets, but no powder or primer, to be loaded in the revolver. For close-up scenes that use a revolver, where the bullets are clearly visible from the front, and do not require the gun to actually be fired, dummy cartridges provide a more realistic appearance than blank rounds, which have no bullet. Instead of purchasing commercial dummy cartridges, the film's prop crew, hampered by time constraints, created their own by pulling the bullets from live rounds, dumping the powder charge, then reinserting the bullets. In the fatal scene, which called for the revolver to be actually fired at Lee from a distance of 12-15 feet, the dummy cartridges were exchanged for blank rounds, which feature a live powder charge and primer, but no bullet, thus allowing the gun to be fired without the risk of an actual projectile. As the production company had sent the firearms specialist home early, responsibility for the guns was given to a prop assistant who was unaware of the rule for inspecting all firearms before and after any handling. Therefore, the barrel was not checked for obstructions when the time came to load it with the blank rounds. Since the bullet from the dummy round was already trapped in the barrel, this caused the .44 Magnum bullet to be fired out of the barrel with virtually the same force as if the gun had been loaded with a live round, and it struck Lee in the abdomen, mortally wounding him. O'Barr later remarked that losing Lee was like losing his fiancée all over again, and he regretted ever writing the comic in the first place. In an interview in 2005, 12 years after the incident, Massee revealed that he still had nightmares about it, stating, "I don't think you ever get over something like that." After a great deal of soul-searching, Proyas and the rest of The Crow's cast and crew arrived at the conclusion that Lee would have insisted that they finish the film. With most of the actor's scenes completed, it was up to special effects house Dream Quest to fill in the blanks, which they accomplished in a number of ways. For the scene in which a newly-returned-from-the-grave Eric returns to his old apartment, for example, unused footage of Lee was used, with the actor's image digitally composited into a shot of the apartment set. For a few other key images, however, the effects technicians turned to techniques that were, in 1993, ridiculously cutting edge. Proyas brought in a relatively green stunt performer by the name of Chad Stahelski, who had been good friends with Lee and had a similar build. For a handful of scenes, including the one in which Eric sports his eerie makeup for the first time, approaching his window as lightning briefly illuminates the room, Stahleski stood in for Lee during shooting. Then, Dream Quest used previously captured footage of Lee to digitally graft the actor's face on Stahleski's body. The resulting shots certainly benefit from their brevity and from the darkness in which they were shot, but even today, the effect holds up remarkably well. Fun Fact: The Cure who wrote the song ‘Burn’ specifically for the film refused to perform it live for many years, as a sign of respect to Brandon Lee. Only in the past few years back did they decide the start playing it live.

The comic series didn't concentrate on character development or, for that matter, a real story arc either. The author was working out his issues after losing his fiance and The Crow was essentially equal parts love letter and revenge fantasy more than it was an actual story. It's beautiful in its way.

"Guess it's not a good day to be a bad guy, huh Skank" "I'm not Skank, that's Skank .. Skanks dead ..." "That's right" God Tier Movie!

Before The Matrix has everyone wearing leather coats ... The Crow had us all painting our faces and wearing electric tape on our hands :) RiP Brandon 💔💔😭😭😭😭😠

The idea wasn't so much to remake this movie as it was to do a more faithful adaptation of the comic. Which, in my opinion, is the best way to do it. Now if only they can get the green light from the studio.

Brandon Lee is my fav actor and the Crow original this one. Brandon Lee died like his father with part of a dummy bullet killing him. Was at the cemetery in Seattle. Brandin only made like 5 full movies.

Yes yes yes the crow !!!! Showdown in little Tokyo from 1991 with Dolph Lundgren and Brandon Lee next please. Two cops vs The Yakuza in Los Angeles. You the man. Salute

When Brandon got shot in the stomach in the pawn shop scene there was a live projectile in the chamber he died in the hospital they used a body double for the rest of the movie but used his voice and face with special effects.

Rapid Fire is a Great Brandon Lee film you need to review. Another one is Showdown in Little Tokyo.

Ernie Hudson. Nailed it like every other role. ☺️👊🏼

6:12 -- One of the best roles you can play as an actor, is either a bad guy... Or someone unhinged... What a delight it is to let your demons out to play. To no longer be caged by rules or normalcy.. After all, what is fear but regret?

[@experienceanimation217]

I love a good revenge film. The crow is up there with my favourite, alongside “Dead man’s shoes”

[@colingregory7464]

Rapid Fire is another of his "star vehicles" and a good martial arts fight movie
