The Crow Wicked Prayer: Descending Into D-List Absurdity

[@MightyMurloc]

Definitely one of the DVD covers I saw in my local Blockbuster and just laughed at Furlong's attempted tough/distressed face on the cover.

[@ianbrewster8934]

"Looking like Billy the Puppet from Saw!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 That made me laugh so loud I fell out of my chair 😂😂😂

[@venom5463]

At one point in my life I was so into The Crow franchise that I used to love this movie. It's been a long time since I watched it, but it still has a place in my heart.

[@karenstarr]

I remember being heavily into the crow and saw this movie at Blockbuster. Had to rent it. Laughed my ass off when I first saw Eddie in his full on “crow” outfit.

[@masterofallgoons]

What aspect got you laughing? The choker? For me it was the choker.

[@mychunkyjordi7585]

I had a laugh with David Boreanaz, he's hilariously over the top 😊🐾💜👍

[@RoosterMontgomery]

Agreed. But even he couldn't save this paycheck-movie!

[@mychunkyjordi7585]

@@RoosterMontgomery I know, I just love Angel 😁

[@masterofallgoons]

He's really trying. But he's not good at it.

[@jenniferb8097]

Now I am gonna have to watch this. Good thing I'm all stocked up on beer

[@droth1031]

Forgo the beer, maybe go for vodka. Hell, maybe a couple shots of Everclear. You need to kill as many brain cells as quickly as possible to sit through this half assed "sequel".

[@jenniferb8097]

I actually have vodka too 🤣

[@masterofallgoons]

​@@droth1031- No you don't. The movie will kill your braincells all on its own.

[@SugarJRay]

Not gonna lie, I used to sometimes skip your vids Mike but I can see you're improving your presentation and having fun with it and really reaching your 'flow state'. This was the best vid I've seen you do so far, really entertaining and funny. Ps. I enjoyed Wicked Prayer, when I'm lit up I tend to have an easier time disregarding nonsensical plots and bad dialogue :D

[@MikeConwayX]

That means a lot to me. Thank you so much

[@stefanpp1155]

that cast is WILD

[@Rob_Kankerboef]

I love this movie. I'm under no illusion about this being a good movie, but to me its so bad its good. Dennis Hopper and David Boreanaz are great in this, and even Tara Reid manages to deliver a savage line.

[@powerbomb4833]

David Boreanaz gives his all in this role, despite the shit writing. He's the highlight of this movie.

[@mattmarzula]

Dennis Hopper was never afraid to earn a paycheck.

[@comedylover95]

Yet another awesome video from the GOAT Mike Conway. And I agree, the original crow’s soundtrack is in the top 10 movie soundtracks of all time

[@geeshep4836]

I Remember They Aired This Movie On SYFY Channel I Didn't Watch It The Original Crow Is Still Stands The Test Of Time.

[@tonycarroll8057]

The thing that kills me the most about this movie is that the novel it's based on is actually quite good

[@masterofallgoons]

So I've heard. Some of the ideas behind this story are actually interesting, but its just horrifically executed on every level

[@Booma151676]

The casting is next level bonkers

[@billy6464]

this cast kind of seems like a contractual obligation type of movie

[@dqreps]

Tito Ortiz - the absolute quintessential speaker of our modern era. A genius of our time.

[@azohundred1353]

You're reaching for those grapes. 🍇

[@ACIoannina]

Kill Bill is a Crow movie sans the make-up and the bird, no objections

[@TyyTheFlyGuy]

This movie just helped fund Furlongs drug binge. Not long after this he gained all the weight from drinking but he was doing heavier drugs around the time of Wicked Prayer. Sad cause I think we all love Terminator 2: Judgment Day as it's one of the best movies ever made. It's also sad cause the sequels just tarnished the original Crow movie so much people don't even like it being brought up. I feel like The Prophecy movies did the same with their sequels and burnt that franchise to the ground.

[@mrhaag]

I loved T2 in spite of Furlong.

[@rolmodel12.]

Seeing Tara Reid's name is a worse omen than seeing Furlong's.

[@snake-oz8nu]

The Big Lebowski..... American Pie?

[@snake-oz8nu]

But usually yes ..I'd agree with you lol

[@rolmodel12.]

@@snake-oz8nu The Big Lebowski is a good call. As many times as I've seen that flick, I tend to forget she was in it (small role prob a factor). Was never a fan of American Pie. I know the first one is held in a higher esteem, but it just was never my thing. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Raepok251]

I played the drinking game, used weed and bourbon. Now I can smell sounds.

[@explorationarcanum]

The worst part about The Crow: Wicked Prayer is that they took an awesome novel (if you can find it, read it) and turned it into this monstrosity. Despite that, this was a great review; thank you so much.

[@brion0220]

This one made the first sequel look like a good movie.

[@PandaRose]

I had to watch it after this review and was not disappointed 😂. Watching Angel right now and seeing Boreanaz in a different role was interesting.

[@nicholasbates7826]

There has never been a slogan for a product better than "the world sucks but you'll look cool in it" lol

[@Lostinmyface]

I love the fact that this guy had his face painted

[@WebofShadows19]

I actually liked Wicked Prayer. It's certainly not my favorite Crow movie, but I liked it. At least it didn't try to reboot the franchise.

[@firefury6053]

Fr

[@jediknightgeo]

Not being a reboot doesn't negate how horrible this film is.

[@TimedRevolver]

Edward Furlong did the best he could with what they gave him to work with. EDIT: She flipped from being a Satanist to praying because she knew they were about to lose and was basically trying to avoid going to Hell for what she did. EDIT 2: I like the new Crow look. We've never had a Crow who came back and was really not handling it well. That looks to be what the new one is. Taking full advantage of his invulnerability to just go nuts. I get a kind of slasher villain vibe from him.

[@Formakiwi]

A Crow film sequel starring Mark Dacascos and directed by Richard Stanley sometime in the mid-late 90s is one of those sad what-ifs well never get to see.

[@brooksproductions9573]

I mean, we had the series.

[@zerocool5395]

Fun Fact: Cuervo means crow in Spanish.

[@RoosterMontgomery]

Missed opportunity not having Furlong's character be named Jose.

[@DericMyersYT]

All the Crows had bird names. Draven, Corvin, Corvis, Cuervo

[@prxblvm]

Good vid mane hope to see more 🌪️🌪️🌪️

[@JoBloHorrorOriginals]

Thank you!

[@rmjmoviereviews6876]

I was done with the series after City Of Angels...I've only seen 5 minutes of this and shut it off. Sadly Salvation is the best of sequels and that's saying alot.

[@bassman8144]

Same. This is a pile of shit. I mean they couldn’t even get a somewhat in shape guy to play Jimmy. Shit they couldn’t even get Furlong on steroids for this role. Lord knows he wasn’t a stranger to drugs at this point in his life.

[@InkAndPoet]

I actually agree! Alex was the closest we got to Eric with him being Eric, how he got face design is unique to the series, and it was full of interesting twist and turns that kept you on the edge of your seat.

[@MortonsReviews]

It's crazy you just posted this. Because I just bought this along with all the rest of the movies. And I have yet to watch this one because I remember it was really bad

[@RigoniAdventures]

I smoke with you every morning. You're my absolute favorite ❤❤ this movies so cringe but the Italian subtitles situation happened to me with lady in white 1989 and I thought "oh ok cuz they're Italian" than when it didn't end i figured it out lol

Has Lance Mungia exer explained what the hell happened with the movie? The guy did 6 String Samurai and then this movie and then just disappeared. What happened to him?

[@Koltonkennison]

It's like I told people if you call yourself a crow fan and you've can't see the beauty in the bill Skarsgards reboot of the crow and think the crow wicked Prayer is better then im sorry but your not a real Crow fan and while I enjoyed the Crow Wicked Prayer I have absolutely no problem saying this is easily far far far worse then the 2024 remake

[@ashiihideeshchiinii6158]

As a Native American fan of The Crow......😅😅😅😅 This is all my people have...I can't complain. 😂😂😂😂😂I take what i can..😂😂😂

[@TakeScareMedia]

Oh… I didn’t forget about that one!!

[@0utJ4nd3r]

My biggest beef with people complaining about the new Crow (that they haven't seen yet) is they say "That's not Brandon Lee". Well, of course it isn't. He's dead. And even if he was alive, it still wouldn't be the same as that moment we found ourselves in '94. The direct sequel would have been awesome if it wasn't for Harvey Weinsteins meddling. I say to Crow fans, give the new one a chance, let the past die. Langoliers style....

[@masonaugustus]

I actually liked The Crow TV series!

[@Djordje_Jovanovic]

Other than the Tara Reid eyecandy; the only good thing about this is David Boreanaz in full Angelus mode

[@wstine79]

I.... have nothing really good to say about this except for the Native American angle for Crow being interesting.

[@christinehorror8178]

Eddie was so awesome in the 90s! Really miss him. With the crow I just don't understand why they don't try to make a movie with one of the awesome stories.. there's one about a pregnant cop and a native American in the old west.. such awesome ideas!! But they are doing remakes or made up stuff.. ugh. Well rip Brandon..

[@gluna777]

I loved the native american part of the story

[@KittyKAT666Meow]

I just recently make a cut of my own and edited out all the crap parts and made it a worthy film. You just got to know how to take something really bad and get into the directors chair and make someone else's work your own. It's not a bad film if you know what you want from it.

[@deborahhanna9126]

Hell this movie had a list of talent that should have saved it! No one even mentions Danny Trejo!

[@reizak8966]

Not gonna lie, love this movie. It's so incredibly emo compared to the previous films and way way over the top. But I gotta say, I'm a little disappointed you didn't mention that this movie is an adaptation of a novel by the same name, written by Norman Partridge.

[@blastradius7193]

David is basically being Bruce Campbell.

[@deborahhanna9126]

I was thinking more Billy Zane in the Creepshow sequel but same style of over the top ridiculous! But Bruce Campbell is a good example too.

[@popmogo]

The New Crow movie is based on the comic book Crow Wild Justice. This comic is a trilogy.

[@Garrie2909]

I think I would take any of these more than the new one lol

[@seanbrazell7095]

You should do Cats next. Scariest damn film I've ever seen.

[@colcostello160]

Winona Ryder in the thumb nail?

[@InkAndPoet]

I just finished watching Wicked Prayer (as well as the franchise at this point) and I can genuinely say it is by far the worst entry. I didn't mind Edward Furlong's performance and this movie did have a great reason for the couple being together (Lilly being the only person in the community who didn't judge Jimmy for coming from prison), but the plot is just short of a supernatural Zorro movie, David Boreanaz loses me in the last third of the movie, and Dennis Hopper... should NEVER talk the way he does in this movie. The setting doesn't work for a Crow movie and it really got under my skin at all the judging that was going on.

[@alexcottrell6094]

Watched this and thought huh theres that idiot kid from terminator 2, fun fact eddy went crazy when he grew up.

[@TheAxeGrinder]

I remember when The Arrow mentioned how this was an okay film.

[@cdowg187]

This god damn fuckin movie

[@Thegrinch177]

What is the music that you use? That's a heavy metal for your intro

[@UItraVice]

Dude cannot pull off the crow at all. I know the story is that ANYONE can be the crow and that means the soul being brought back could be any race, gender, height or whatever but he looks like a kid trying to fight adults. He doesn't have the masculine build or height to really bring fear and vengeance to anyone...

[@deborahhanna9126]

His size wasn't really the issue: just lack of presence overall. He rode a bicycle and looked ripe to be bullied by my Grandma in the opening scenes. They just never should have made him be an ex-con, they could have given him a fledged out backstory of being a miner (coal dust would have been a great explanation for his face paint too.) As an ex-con he would have been eaten alive so it steals the suspension of disbelief. They needed darker settings as I can't think of much that's better than an open campfire in the desert for the atmospheric pathos. Lonely howling of a wolf- they have symbiosis with crows/ravens. They basically had too much sunshine throughout.

[@captvampire26]

I fucking loved 6 string samurai

[@MrMegatron85]

Haha the thumbnail reminds me of Kristen Stewart

[@kingofallpie]

I only need the new one to be better than this, that's all I ask Lionsgate, please. and Stairway To Heaven.

[@antimatta8714]

It's a truly terrible film, as most of the sequels are that followed the Original, the closest they got to the greatness of the first film is - "The Crow 2: City Of Angels" but it's still not at the same level of quality as the first. Sadly the new reboot also looks terrible too, considering the how bad near every attempt at making a new crow film has been, it seems as if the franchise may actually be cursed. R.I.P. Brandon Lee/The Crow.

[@morgaen]

The thumbnail photo looks like the undead version of Angela Merkel (ex German Chancellor)

[@kakashiproductions]

You know the movie is bad when they had Tito Ortiz in it and I had no idea 😂😂😂😂

[@lonewolfronin9215]

I enjoyed the original one with the great Brandon Lee easy, as for the last three I did like City of Angels though there should be a real directors cut and the third was fine not great but fine. Wicked Prayer 😖😖 you're gonna need a prayer for sure 😂😂😂 to watch this even then NO THANKS 😂

[@RAE10182504]

This crow looks like one of the emo kids from south park.

[@bazf9564]

They used Ravens not Crows in the movie

[@mrmrgaming]

Yeah, the original is amazing, and I can find ok/good bits in 2 and 3 (not many though) The fourth film is utterly bizarre in all the worst ways. I struggled to even finish the film.

[@ItsaKindOfMagic86]

I'd rather give Wicker Prayer another go. I tried it back when it came out for the cast line up and the plot was sloppy. No Crow fan wanted a remake of the original film. They should have just pooped out another sequel. It would have found it's supporters. A remake is that lazy fad that Hollywood just wont kick and remaking iconic beloved classics is an insult as it is also INSANE. Why? Cheap cash grab and to insert their modern day lecturing that defeats the purpose of escapism.

[@Hotrocket85]

This is definitely a simulator mix-up
