As much as i love KEANU, I really could see BRANDON as Neo in the MATRIX series, his martial art skills are way above those of most actors of the nineties

And even to this day. You can't forget what his dad's DNA, which he carried, is responsible for. "Bruce Lee developed a martial art technique called jeet kune do, a blend of ancient kung fu, fencing, boxing, and philosophy, which he began teaching"

"The Crow" is one of my favorite movies, period. I first saw it on TV in 1995, and instantly fell in love with it. The story, characters, action, musical score - all of it is just fantastic. The tragedy of Brandon's death only gives the film an added layer of emotional depth, and the fact it was finished at all afterward is a true testament to how many people loved him.

As a "Chinese descendant" who's great grandfather was the very first Chinese born restaurant owner in Dallas TX, BEFORE CHINESE COULD LEGALLY OWN PROPERTY, Bruce Lee was our hero!

"Can't rain all the time" like his wonderful father, Brandon's legacy is everlasting. The Crow taught us: justice for victims, to have faith in what you believe and that love is even stronger than death. Forever missed Brandon we love you

I think that while Brandon loved making "The Crow", and sadly died while doing so, it would be wrong to say his passing was *for* the movie. The incident that killed him was a tragic accident born from irresponsible safety regulations, nothing more.

Man, I knew Brandon Lee was a pleasant interviewee, but James O'Barr was incredibly interesting to listen to. 39:12 And Hollywood's only gotten WORSE on that front. XD But man, listen to these interviews. All of them. These actors are actually discussing their role and the screenplay with some care and intent, and quite a bit of insight. Now it seems like actor interviews are just tailored to be funny and disposable.
@jotun.6169 ай бұрын
I love me some good times joking around press tours, but yea, ppl taking the source material, etc so seriously is rarely seen anymore. Cuz these types of ppl, the ones actually trying to make art, have all been pushed out by the insane cost of making movies these days. I understand studios needing to profit, but theyre the ones who built this system where everything has to make a billion dollars. Now that disney has botched that model hopefully the system will crawl back some and we can get considerate film making again. I used to check the dvd releases for what to pirate every couple weeks. I havent looked in like two years now. Just fucking nothing coming out thats even worth pirating.

The integrated Crow film/comic and the individuals associated in it, esp the essential ones like James O Barr and Brandon Lee, are my darlings. In 1998,' the comic novel to commence with, for me, is what swept me absently in an instant. I remembered the initial occasion I had seen the cover of the comic book, it was at a public library in West Valley Utah, and it was the ominous cover I had ever seen and it gripped my attention without question. The second I opened to the first page, I started reading, and my face was streaming with tears. Two months later, I subsequently found out there was a film based on the comic book called The Crow starring Brandon Lee. I finally had the chance to see it at a friend's house and had been instantly obsessed with it ever since then. No film made in any industry has ever won me over since the crow and probably no film in the future ever will.

The Crow is the only film that means more than the original intent and more than anyone could have ever imagined. Only one Crow, R.I.P BL♡

I expect it was much less a 'bulletproof' vest, and more of a rigid vest to protect him from all the squib explosions going off at once on his torso. He only had a single squib for the apartment scene, and likely just a small plate behind it. Neither would be actually "bullet proof".
