Yeah Brandon Lee is definitely one of those what if stories. Rest in Power🥀🥀🥀

Ever watch "Rapid Fire"? He was great in that too-

No shit

I loved this movie as a kid. I watched it soooo many times. Still holds up too. The soundtrack was dope af as well. I still quote a lot of the things the gangsters say in the movie to this day.

Rest in Paradise Brandon Lee ,we lost you too early

[@grapeshot]

Well it gives new meaning to a group of crows being called a murder.

[@janedoex1398]

As an Austrian, I've always found this ...odd. I mean crows , black cats, the whole shenanigans - we had in Europe for a good amount of fun times in the middle ages.

[@grapeshot]

@@janedoex1398 Well you know how people feel about the color black. And actually it's my favorite color.

[@janedoex1398]

@@grapeshot mine too - to a degree, but not so much as when I was a teen, because it fades so easily and with my OCD and Psoriasis every skin cell is showing though I shake out everything I wore once on the inside outside, and I need to wash often but on the other hand try to save water / electricity and money HARD...I got one of my bills from 177 € every 2 months to 26 (!)€ every 2 months since Covid. Also I have sensory issues, but am "too bad to be disgnosed with anything" adding to my 10 diagnoses atm.... ( my psychiatrist) . So. ..YAY.

Tear up every time I get to the end of this film, where his love comes to take him back to the hereafter. On the surface it's a gothic revenge flick with a contemporary metal soundtrack, but it's steeped in tragedy and romanticism which is what has kept it popular for all these years.

[@naivenitara]

I'm living for the Candyman and Ghostbusters references. Thanks for another gem, Tom! 💎

[@janedoex1398]

And Buffy and Trainspotting.

[@restingsadface]

I think that the double they used for Brandon was pretty good because the first time I watched it I didn’t even notice the change. rip Brandon Lee

[@xHarpyx]

“You made out with your sister, man!” This was hilarious. Thanks for being kind to one of my favorite movies. :)

[@187mrsmith]

Rip Bradon Lee 🥀 Its sad we didn't get to see more from him! The son of Bruce Lee i must say this movie is 1 of my favorite I love this movie!

[@pedrosilva9497]

No frickin way you reviewd this movie. I LOVE THIS MOVIE. Thank you so much♥️

[@Em-wk5ns]

Brandon Lee the only true crow. Rip Brandon, as a teenager I adore the movie.

[@K_Woods]

Man. Both the score and soundtrack to this movie were just superb. I still listen to them often. And to this day I still utter Skank's, "What's this happy horse-shit?" at appropriate moments.

[@xHarpyx]

I’m constantly quoting this movie. I feel better I’m not the only one

[@chrislail3824]

The soundtrack charted at number 1 on Billboard when it came out

These are my new favorite video drops every week. I'm old as Pong so the Mystery Science Theater 3000 shtick connect's with all of those summer nights watching those old movies and learning to love them. I wish I had two extra hands so I could give you 4 thumbs up.

[@leadsin99er]

Chad Stahelski was the body double for Lee in the Crow, also Keanu's body double in The Matrix. Pretty sure Brandon Lee would have been given a big role in the John Wick franchise if he was alive today.

[@jobymanuel1353]

Not so fun fact, the Funboy scene was the scene where Lee got fatally shot. They did Multiple takes of it, and the last one had a live round on the gun.

[@dainapolchow4177]

I just gotta say, found your channel like 3 days ago, and have been binge watching ever since. Movies I have never heard about, movies I know about but haven’t watched, movies I have watched. I love your reviews. Very funny. Keep getting chuckles out of me. Thank you.

[@hansgraichen8051]

Your outro song is like a warm blanket.

[@PapaTaurean]

It's the Man Called Crow. "It's showtime!!!"

[@norse_cat]

I love The Crow! "It can't rain all the time." Tragic to lose Brandon Lee though. The sequel is nowhere near as good, but not awful. It's interesting to see the little girl grown up.

[@abegarfield7031]

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.

[@deathsecretary2055]

The sequel wasn't bad, it would be nice to be able to see it as it was supposed to be. The third was an absolute mess.

[@CoachFromL4D2]

I LOVE Top Dollars voice. He could sound badass as a Sunday School teacher.

[@matthewgreen3988]

The Tick reference (spoooon!) is worth a thumbs up alone.

[@Irish381]

Brandon Lee was shot in the abdomen with partial bullet fragments and debris from a .44mag prop gun . He died six hours later while in emergency surgery from a severe arterial hemorrhage. This tragedy was the reason the professional, had trained actress Natalie Portman how to assemble and load real ammunition and firearms for the film.

[@agnethaladuff8559]

I didn't watch thie movie yet because it is very dark and the death of the actor certainly didn't help, but after this review it is definitely time to watch it. Great review Bee Man, you're movie reviews rock .

[@jordanthomas4379]

I read the graphic novel for the first time last year, absolutely brilliant, but incredibly sad and tragic.

[@linphillips8331]

At 9:56, what's up with the Lucille Ball lip liner? That's not what we did back then. Signed, Gen-Xer

Idk, i saw the Lucille Ball lip liner in movies like showgirls and color of night. Maybe they got the same make-up artist on set🤔

[@NeeceLoneWolf]

Sweetheart, The Crow: Wicked Prayer if you want to see David Boreanz having more fun than he should be and Eddie Furlong being bad ass. IDGAF what people say, Eddie did his research and delivered more than he should tbf.

[@smeltikozuyesmelti]

Forever one of my favorite movies and soundtracks

[@Ihatedayslikethis1]

The Newbee uploads? I hit Like. I was never onboard the Crow fandom. This movie came out when I was in junior high and tend to relate to all those 3edgy5me kids who played tough guy during recess but still needed mommy to fight for them when shit hit the fan.

[@snoox27]

Love the Moth reference . SPOOOOON!

[@sevenodonata]

I understood the St Elsewhere reference! 👍

[@michaelthomas5433]

Half-sister is pretty much third cousin these days in movies so it's more of a grey area. I mean it even made its way into Star Trek Picard.

[@kawaiikawaiianimegirl4144]

That Ghostbusters callback made me more happy then it should have good job yo

[@chrislail3824]

You should’ve mentioned the soundtrack, it was a pretty big compilation release in the genre when it came out, just as popular as the movie, it charted at number 1 on the Bullboard..

[@NeeceLoneWolf]

Btw I own the DVD I find it hard to watch because I admired Brandon before The Crow. I loved him in Showdown in Little Tokyo. Cocky as hell loved it. Like Corey Haim, Brandon had IT. The IT factor. I have my own theories but damn he was amazing.

[@DravenGal]

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!

[@dornravlin]

The Crow saved my life I watched it with my father as a kid as an adult a wached it again and I was in a dark place watching it gave me comfort

[@assanchop1574]

This is one of my favorite movies EVER. One of only a handful of movies I saw more than once in a theater. A masterpiece of love and sorrow in so many ways.

[@tomchester3229]

The movie The Crow is amazing on so many levels. I just focus on Brandon Lee and his magical performance, it was Oscar worth IMHO. He was perfect Joker before Heath Ledger. Both of them left too early, RIP

[@flamethrowerflufsalisbury]

I love this movie. I met Ernie Hudson a few years ago & he told us how funny Brandon was. Ernie was so friendly, man.

[@geoffreyfletcher6976]

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.

[@josephconcepcion9877]

For a long time I thought this movie was about sting the wrestler probably until I was like 15 years old

[@FeuerblutRM]

Best movie of all time. I re-watch it at least once a year.

[@janedoex1398]

*The Amps ?* They were lefr there from Guy Fawkes, so V could use them later, but "the Crow" got the set first. .....

[@janedoex1398]

Btw thank you, though I have literally NO money at all and getting through all the beoucracy is so way too much, this is a movie that I haven't in my collection yet, like so many other classics I missed and only discovered because of a bee, because my Ex trained me only on music/ films he liked. I am thankful because I was very limited before, but didn't realise he didn't REALLY open the World up , *only* to the styles / art that had his approvel.

[@Co83f]

Great video as always 👍

[@Nico2171]

I actually didn't know about the death of Brandon Lee when I first saw the movie, but the dark atmosphere really was there nonetheless. Hearing about it later of course made it even more tragic.

[@hoagsmash4188]

It really is SO dang good, but like you said, every time I watch I just marvel at how cool Brandon Lee is and saddened by what could've been... Oh, and the cutaway EEEEMOTIONAL DAAAMAGE had me DEAD 🤣🤣I've seen all your vids, but like revisiting, and I did NOT remember that!

[@imogenx9145]

Used to rent this as an angsty teen, mostly to enjoy the leather pants aspect. Can't really say my taste in movies has changed 😂

[@bethelcharis3554]

I love this movie. It was one of the first movies I watched in college and it’s so well made

[@tmamone83]

This was my favorite movie as a teenager! Too bad all the sequels suck. Seriously, why is everything yellow in part 2? Did someone pee all over the negatives during post-production?

[@NeeceLoneWolf]

Ok someone has to do it, CANDYMAN CANDYMAN.

[@nikkibeacth]

Rumor has it Brandon Lee died in that scene with multiple guns shooting at his character in that long table scene. Some believe to this day that it was not an accident but a hit job by the Chinese Mob.

[@Leo-sd3jt]

Damn, when that Doom soundtrack hit, I started rocking out without even realizing it

[@mrs.butterworthy4130]

Finally, I love the crow

[@glenfahselt8378]

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.

[@Azhalan]

One of the most brilliant movies ever made. The atmosphere and soundtrack are especially superb.

[@zeusbacchushades]

I think Top Dollar became 50 Cent

[@leglockcontrol]

Spoon... nice the tick reference there.

[@NeeceLoneWolf]

NO NO NO NO seriously The Crow: Wicked Prayer A and B grade actors having way too much fun. Dennis Hopper cheesy as hell. Tara Reid well she's Tara Reid in EVERY movie lol. Eddie to give him credit did his damn research and delivered. It's cheesy and if you go into it knowing that, it's cheesy fun.
