A lot of the editing of the movie is the result of them trying to piece together the story from what they had after Brandon passed. They hadn't filmed every scene. There were still sections that needed to be reshot and he never got the chance to do it. There's a rumor too that he was supposed to do some more voiceover work after filming, but obviously that never happened, so they had to change the plan on that too. They spent months trying to piece things together to make it a coherent story and even used some early digital effects. For instance, when he first returns to the apartment and you see him walk through the door, he was never there. They took him from another collection of frames and superimposed him into the doorway. The only reason you can tell is because you can see rain falling over his shoulder, but he's inside. The scene where the kids are dressed up for Halloween and he's laughing, and it goes to slow motion, is *allegedly* from some behind the scenes content that was never never intended to be shot for the movie. The story is that he was laughing about something one of the crew said/did while the camera was on him. That's why it goes to slow-motion in that moment, because the crew wanted to put that in as a nice memory they had of working with him, and the director wanted to show his appreciation for them.
“People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right.”
The story behind the creation of the original Crow comic is almost as tragic as the story of the movie. The writer/artist James O'Barr's fiance was killed by a drunk driver, so O'Barr created the Crow as a way to deal with his grief and anger.
The scene where Brandon died was the first flashback scene where Eric and Shelly are killed. James O'Barr blamed himself because "if he never wrote the damn story, Brandon wouldn't have died". Brandon's fiancée, mom, and sister encouraged James and the crew to finish the movie as a tribute to Brandon, because he had been so proud of the movie and would have wanted them to finish it, and now we have this masterpiece.
The scene Brandon died during was the "my sheets" scene where he enters the apartment and finds Funboy and Darla, where Funboy shoots through his hand. The actor who played Funboy - Michael Massee - never fully recovered from it. He took a year off acting and had to come to terms with the accident, but he was never blamed for it, because it truly wasn't his fault. It was the fault of the props department who didn't properly clear the barrel of the weapon and the fault of the director for having such a relaxed attitude to the handling of weapons on set. The accident didn't actually happen while they were filming, it happened while they were preparing for the scene and Massee was handling the weapon. Contrary to common misconceptions, there was no live round involved (unlike the incident on the Rust set). A previous blank had misfired and a piece of the blank had remained stuck inside the barrel. When another blank was fired this propelled the piece of shrapnel like a bullet, striking Brandon. This did lead to new protocols on filming sets, protocols that should have prevented the incident on the Rust set from happening. I believe props departments and weapons specialists are required by law to thoroughly inspect and clean every weapon entirely before and after every use on any set, and fake rubber/plastic weapons are now used more often in place of anything that could conceivably fire anything.
@wilsonwade2970 you werent there the internet is full of what ifs but it was the balcony sceen and michael wasnt even pointing the gun at brandon movies arent filmed in order
It’s actually from the scene in the beginning when funboy shoots him then they throw him out the window which albeit an early scene in the movie, was obviously filmed later in production
I’ve actually been reading the comic book. I read about half and sat it down. It’s really deep and kind of hard for me to read through. It’s very poetic kind of like Shakespeare in a way. The comic book writer wrote it to kind of deal with his grief after losing his girlfriend. She was hit by a driver when she was coming to see him. He blamed himself and was full of a lot of anger and grief like Eric Draven. This movie is a classic.
Dark knight. Copied so much from this movie. From the lets put a smile on my face line to the joker walking in on the mob scene. A few movies copied off this
The Dark Knight movie (Joker's face/make-up, joker entering the mob bosses meeting, etc etc etc) ---------- joker = chaos/anarchy Top Dollar (he's the leader of the criminals, the pirate-aristocrat looking guy, who uses the swords, and guns too, of course) = chaos/anarchy -------------- batman (1989, tim burton) gotham city (gritty, dark, rundown, etc) ---------- Sting's face/make-up (wrestling) -------- Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines movie, with its massive crane semi-truck getting flipped upside down scene: The Dark Knight movie's scene with the joker in the huge semi-truck getting flipped over, after batman with his bat-cycle and the cable cords -------- and probably a lot more...

This is my husband's favorite movie, he used to dress as Eric as a kid❤

The type of undead Eric is a revenent unstoppable force of nature brought back for a single purpose
Detroit? Could be. I wonder if Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin have a Post Office Box there.
🖤RIP Brandon Lee - The Only Crow

My Favorite Movie. LL Top Dollar.
(And LL Brandon Lee in real life)
Hey now. Thrill kill kult- after the flesh fing rules. It was perfect for the big gun fight scene.
Did they shorten their name. Back in the day they were called my life with the thrill kill kult
@45jacky77 that's tkk's full name. Thrill kill kult, tkk are often used to shorten it. 😆

Agreed. The comic is truly a work of art, and this movie was a perfect adaptation.
And we don't talk about this year's excuse of a "remake".
“Beyond the grave via avian means.” 😂
This (and the comic) defined goth for a whole generation. Still awesome!
I was at that starcade all 3 Nashville starcades I was at
Jeff hard has said he was heavily influenced by the crow
Original vhs copy was so dark in lighting you count make out the scenes they remastered it for dvd now you can see it

Reactors who think they have to constantly talk, don't understand why we watch reaction channels in the first place.
Explain it to me then
