My excitement for this film's release was immense. I was at the video store the morning it released and the dude behind the counter unwrapped the cellophane from the tape in front of me prior to renting. RIP Brandon Lee, life cut way too short, just like his father. Glad you enjoyed it bro 🤟

Bruce Lee's son. Brandon was utterly fantastic in this role and really flexed his acting prowess throughout. A total tragedy he died during the filming of this, but he left us with an unforgettable performance that'll last the test of time. The soundtrack is also one of the all-time greats.

[@cozenw3236]

And yet now they want to do a reboot/remake of the Crow and the franchise… modernize it for todays audiences. To say people are already up in arms about even thinking about touching this film is understated grossly.

[@cozenw3236]

@@buttsbuttsbutts68 I heard it was the other way around. That filming was near the end when this happened. I recalled it was in a magazine almost a year after his death. They almost didn’t finish it but his fiancé didn’t want his last movie to die with it. You maybe be right, but I could swear they said it was all but finished. Despite all the trouble during filming in Wilmington that occurred, they were almost done. I’ll have to look into it again.

("V for Vendetta"), or "Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else." (Babylon 5, "Severed Dreams"). But yeah, it's certainly up there.

[@DanielS2001]

A lot of people have already expressed how tragic it was that Brandon Lee died during the making of this film. Another part of the tragedy that isn't mention is Michael Massee, who played Funboy in the film and was the one who fired the shot that killed Brandon. He was traumatized by what happened that he took a year off from acting and never watched the final film. In a 2005 interview, 12 years after the event, he revealed that he still had nightmares about it saying, "I don't think you ever get over something like that." It's sad to think that even up to his death, he was still haunted by it.

[@Lazrael32]

yeah for real. poor guy. just a complete tragedy at every angle.

[@davidanderson1639]

Another cast member impacted by Lee’s death was Rochelle Davis who played Sarah. Davis struggled with mental health & substance abuse in the years following the films release; on top of which she spent a period of time homeless. From following her social media, she’s turned her life around & is now making occasional appearances at various conventions.

[@ThomasSoles]

Loved this movie. Brandon died when I was on a WestPac deployment. Back in those days, news was scarce on my ship, but his death made the ship's paper. As a Bruce Lee fan since kidhood, it was a real kick to the gut to know that legacy had hit an end. The Crow came out right before I ended my active duty. I must have gone to the theaters twenty times. It was an amazing movie. My first love also loved the movie and I would quote mushy parts to her and she would do the same. So many great memories of this movie. It is loaded with my optimism of youth, my broken heart of losing my first love (we broke up, nothing sinister), and is a testament to the great human we lost when Brandon died. I wish we could have had a library of awesome Brandon movies, but this film was truly a gift.

[@donny-ni2zd]

Lord if Wesley Blade and Brandon Crow had a flick together...perfection...

[@newspooiechannel]

This movie is based on an independent comic written and drawn by James O'Barr. After his girlfriend was killed by a drunk driver, he began developing the comic as a way of dealing with his anger, which, sadly, he said only further enhanced his rage. He also then read a newspaper story about an engaged couple who were murdered over a wedding ring and harnessed that in his story. After 7 years of trying to find a publisher for his comic, it was finally picked up by Caliber Press. Originally, the movie was being aimed as a direct-to-video release. During filming, Brandon Lee, the son of Bruce Lee and rising star who played Eric Draven in the film, was killed by an errant bullet struck him in the abdomen after a gun they had used as a time-saving measure was not inspected. The producers considered scrapping the movie entirely and Paramount Pictures pulled out of distributing the film, only for Miramax to step in with additional funding to complete the movie. Although Brandon Lee had already filmed most of his scenes, some of the shots ended up being filmed in silhouette with stunt actors and voices overlaid. The shot where he finally sees Sarah at the window is one such example. The movie ended up going on to make 4 times its budget and spawn 3 sequels and a TV series. A reboot of the original film has been in development hell for around 15 years. Also, this was Alex Proyas' first North American film. He later went on to co-write and direct 'Dark City,' another excellent film you should check out if you've never seen it before. That film was co-written by David Goyer, who wrote Blade around the same time and would go on to co-write Batman Begins and help develop the next two films in Nolan's Batman trilogy.

[@mellysomethingclever]

An absolute tragedy that we lost Brandon Lee during the making of this. He could’ve been a great talent like his father. This movie hold so much in my little goth heart. It has some of the most quotable moments. And the costumes is just chefs kiss. The music too. The 90s were just built different in terms of filmmaking. So many more risks and real creativity. No matter how out there it was. “Victims aren’t we all?”

The CGI you mentioned at the beginning (make-up reveal) was the first time a movie used CGI to bring a dead actor back to life. Brandon Lee was killed during the making of this movie and they used a body double to complete some scenes and used CGI to replace his face with Brandons, including the scene you mentioned.

[@JamesVSCinema]

That’s badass!

[@Hellion47]

Chad Stahelski was the double and one of Brandon's stuntmen. The director of John Wick.

[@jaelzana]

It wasn't CGI. There was no CGI at all in this film. It was digitally altered via rotoscoping and digital image manipulation. Was the precursor to modern digital editing techniques. More like digital compositing versus computer generated imaging. Even the birds (ravens not crows) were all real. They trained one to fly in a wind tunnel to film for the flying over the city scenes. One of the most brilliant movies ever made.

[@botz77]

Brandon Lee was awesome. I strongly feel he would have played Neo in The Matrix had he not died so young. And the pawnshop guy was in Miller's Crossing that you watched recently (I believe) he's in a lot of stuff, great character actor.

[@shonuff4323]

So from what I remember, he was killed because they used a revolver with dummy rounds that only had the primers. The dummy rounds are used strictly for visuals, so you can't see the obvious blank rounds when looking straight on. At some point, the trigger was pulled, and the primer had enough powder to push out the projectile to where it got lodged in the barrel. They then switched to the blank rounds that actually fire but don't have projectiles. But, in this case, it actually became a live round because of the projectile that was lodged in the barrel. So when the blank was fired, it propelled the projectile that was in the barrel like a regular bullet. I remember when this story broke, and I remember feeling so bad for his mom Linda and his sister Shannon. They had to deal with another untimely death.

Another great action flick that showcases what a star Brandon would've been, and is also super underrated is Rapid Fire. Great flick, lots of awesome hand to hand fight scenes showing Brandon's martial arts capabilities, great cinematography, a cool story. It's a blast to watch and holds up great. Couldnt recommend it enough. Brandon Lee really had it all, acting chops, good looks, charm, and fantastic martial arts skills just like his dad. The epitomy of gone too soon.

This movie was my entire personality at one point. Mix that with Sting with the black and white face paint and it was a done deal lol.
