    I went to the same college, I knew him and my best friend shared an apartment with him in Allston Massachusetts.
    He had a full size poster of his father on the ceiling over his bed. He had photographs of celebrities who were famous before age 30 displayed around his room. He was in a hurry to "make it" as soon as possible because, as he often told me, he knew he would be dead before he turned 30. He was one of the most driven and intense individuals I've ever met.
    He was indeed reckless, but thankfully talented enough that he will always be remembered.

She came over to his place to comfort him and he told her he always thought he would die young. Two years later, that’s exactly what happened. So sad.

How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you cannot conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four, or five times more? Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless."

    1) To save money, the film’s weapons safety expert was sent home prior to filming the scene.
    2) Actors using prop guns are never to aim the gun directly at the other actor but are instead taught to aim the gun to make it look as if they are aiming at said actor.
    3) To save money, the props expert emptied real bullets. Real bullets once opened can sometimes fragment within the gun chamber if improperly handled.
    4) The prop gun was never checked prior to filming the scene.

And this demon was coming after Brandon and Bruce Lee tried to protect Brandon and it looked like the demon was defeated. But years later Brandon dies at a younger age than his father. I believe that demon represents his family being cursed, and the demon walking towards Brandon represents Brandon eventually dying from murder. It's just weird that even the movie is called "The Crow" and one of the people involved claim the set was haunted.

    With his good looks and pedigree, I just knew Brandon Lee was gonna be a HUGE star. The son of Bruce Lee and a pretty good actor and martial artist in his own right, it was only a matter of time before he became the next big thing. Sadly, just like his dad, he died before the release of the movie that was to be his breakthrough film. As someone who grew up watching his dad, I was heartbroken by Brandon's passing. It honestly pissed me off for a while. How could the Fates take Bruce and Brandon? It just didn't seem fair.

    The Crow is one of my all time favorite movies .Cant picture anyone else but Brandon Lee .He made that movie his own .I remember the controversy surrounding this film and it took years to sort out but i think everyone made the right choice by finishing it .It seems Brandon would of wanted it that way .Was standing right behind Jon Polito at 4th street promenade in Santa Monica coming out of a movie just before his passing .I was geeking hard and about to tell him how much i love the crow when my ex stopped me .One of the many reasons she is my ex .THE END

      They kinda did. The production crew decided to "save money" by making their own props. When they made dummie bullets they didn't set off the primers which have enough energy to put a bullet cap into the barrel of a gun. Then a blank round sends that jammed bullet at about 70% power which is more than lethal. He died of other peoples incompetence.

    I used to make music videos, just for fun(I'd be hit with Copyright strikes like a mofo these days)… but I used footage from The Crow and paired it with Metallica's "Unforgiven", and it was a masterpiece. I no longer have the VHS tape it was on, so I'm going to attempt to recreate it, but obviously I won't be able to upload it to UA-cam. Still, I'm going to remake it. When I showed it to people(back in the late 90s/early 2000s), most people thought it was a European Import never shown in the US. Yeah, it was that good, and I'm very proud of it.
    It was made as a tribute to Brandon Lee, as I love him in that movie, and the story worked very well with that music.

    I spent a lot of time working on the backlot at Screen Gems doing grip and stunt crew jobs in the 90s (not on the Crow though). The first film after the accident on the backlot stage where he died was an industry for a Swedish company about mental health in the workplace. It was surreal, everything was painted up bright colors and we had picked up like 15 brightly colored Hyundai(s) to line the "street" but it was all on the opposite side of the backlot stage where his accident happened. Everyone spoke in hushed tones about it. It seemed like the darkness had overtaken that part of the lot. It's a strange place, that backlot. That's why most "city street" filming moved either to Southport or to downtown Wilmington. I never saw the final of the industry film. I can't imagine how it all translated.

    I'm gone keep it real:
    When Bruce was about 18 or 19 years old, maybe even 17, he got into a fight with an "organized crime" member, which is a pretty way of naming a person involved with the mob. He was attending a high school in Kowloon, Hong Kong, called St. Xavier High I think. Well, later on that week, the authorities went to where Lee lived and told his parents about the ordeal. I think they also mentioned the fact that they may not be able to protect him from harm at all times. They say Bruce beat the dragonpiss outta this guy too.
    9 times outta 10, the guy was either Triad, or Yakuza mobsters. If so, then not only did Brandon get killed by these revengeful fukkers, but the woman who gave Bruce Lee the pill that killed him more than likely was also paid off as well. If I never learned anything in life, one things for certain: You don't disgrace an Asian mobster, because you may not be the only one thats gonna pay for it!!!
