The sequel was chopped up and changed around a lot. There was loads of studio interference. There was apparently a different backstory for the main character, originally and Iggy Pop was supposed to have a bigger part (that wasn't intended as a pun) I can't imagine it would have been as good as the original movie but it probably would have been better than what we got.

Nice review. My favorite movie (shocker) for 30 years, next year. No movie has even came CLOSE. Did you know that the guy looting with the long blond hair is Jame O'Barr, the creator of the graphic novel? One thing you failed to mention, or maybe you didn't know. Brandon Lee was less than a month away from his own wedding to his fiancée, Eliza. They were going to go to Mexico to get married as soon as the filming of The Crow was done. Such a tragedy! He had so much talent, and I'll say this and you can fight me on it if you'd like! No disrespect meant to Keanu, but dammit, Neo should have been played by Brandon Lee...it gets me so angry that somebody didn't check the prop gun, um, properly and the tip of the fake bullet got left in it and acted like a real bullet!

This was a very good review of an excellent movie, that tragically paralled life, as Brandon Lee was also engaged to be married shortly after the film was completed. The second one, was an okay direct sequel that dealt with the Sarah character when she is a bit more grown, and it deals with the holiday of the day of the dead. It's a worthwhile sequel since The Crow being a series of graphic novels by James O Barr, dealt with the Crow seeking Vengeance at various times and places. So I would personally at least check out the sequel City of Angels.

It's no surprise that the antagonists are all cartoon like and chaotic. Characters from comics aren't always given the time and space to be explored beyond their basic motivations, in the film The Crow the gang members are shallow thugs that live beyond mortal laws, the comic was a bit deeper. The original comic The Crow was created from a real life tragedy that James O'Barr experienced. The characters are representations of the difference stages of grief, the resulting emotional roller coaster, and the catharsis that vengeance might bring. The film tries to cover this a bit, but misses the mark for pacing purposes, most likely. I bet there was a lot of footage dropped or scenes that didn't get shot because of the added cost of finishing the project after the tragic loss of Brandon. Overall, I really like this movie. I saw it in the theater, bought it on VHS, and watched it many times as a teen and young adult.
