"If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever."

"Victims. Aren't we all?" Love that line.

In case your wondering, every alternative music lover from the 90s owned this soundtrack in their collection. It's probably one of the better sound tracks of all times.

"“Mother is the name of god on the lips and hearts of little children.” You're right, there wasn't much dialog, and yet so much of it is so quotable.

God this movie is awesome. "This is the really real world, there ain't no coming back." Goosebumps every time.

The actor who plays Funboy is the one who actually shot Brandon Lee. His death was a result of a series of unfortunate events. On a movie set there is prop ammunition ( this is ammunition that looks like live ammo but has no powder charge or primer) and blanks ( These are self explanatory). Anyway, they needed more prop ammo for Funboy's .44 magnum handgun so someone bought live ammo, separated the bullets out, emptied the powder and reseated the bullets. This person failed to remove the primers. Primers are like caps for a toy gun the are seated in the rear of the cartridge and what the hammer strikes to ignite the powder charge. At one point during filming someone pull the trigger on Funboy's gun on one of these prop rounds and the primer went off. Nothing was suppose to happen so the gun was inspected and they all thought it was a blank round. What they didn't notice was that the primer had enough pressure to shoot the bullet out of the cartridge and it stopped in the barrel. Blank rounds were loaded into the gun for a scene where Funboy was suppose to shoot Eric in the chest. Michael Massee, the actor playing Funboy, pulled the trigger, the blank round went off and the pressure from the round had enough force to send the bullet out of the barrel and it hit Brandon in the chest. It was a very unfortunate accident but also very preventable if they had followed safety procedures.

Brandon actually completed about 90% of the film (8 days left) before dying. He did all the make-up scenes first so that the final weeks of shooting he would be able to just relax. The scene where he actually gets shot is in the loft with his girlfriend before he gets thrown out the window. It was a prop gun that wasn't cleaned properly and shot out a piece of metal that was lodged in the barrell (squib load). The metal hit Brandon and stuck in his spine or spleen. He died at the hospital six hours later.

Chad Stahelski was the stuntman who was Brandon Lee's body double in the completed scenes. Brandon's face was superimposed during the window/lightning scene. It's great that Chad went on to direct the John Wick franchise.

19:47 "I miss you." When Rochelle Davis did that scene it was filmed after Brandon Lee had died. Her tears and sadness was real there. :(

On the VHS I had of this there is a promotional interview Brandon filmed for the film. It is eerie to watch and poignant. He discusses how time seems limitless, but how many times will you remember a cherished childhood memory, integral to your person? Four or five times more? How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? 20? Eric has had the preciousness of each moment made apparent to him. Hearing Brandon discuss the fleeting nature of life and how death can strike at any time puts goosebumps on my neck even 30 years after I heard them.

A cool trend I noticed about this movie is that Eric killed each of Shelley's murderers with something they love: Tin-Tin with his own knives, Funboy with his drugs, T-Bird with his car, and Skank....wasn't worth the effort of a poetic death, so Eric just tossed his ass out a window.

"Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children." will always be one of the best lines every in any movie.

Top Dollar,while having little screen time,is one of the most iconic villains of all time. Michael wincott is awesome,and a really cool dude.

a few months after the tragedy of Brandon Lee, Luc Besson's "Leon: The Professional" (1994) was already in production and since 12-year-old Nathalie Portman handled so many guns in the plot, her parents hired a weapons expert to teach her how to be safe with extreme prejudice, assembling and disassembling parts, telling the difference between bullets and blanks and even checking the weight of loaded and unloaded guns! it can't rain all the time... Brandon Lee is now an angel in peace and the crow brought back his name to immortality!

When I first watched this film when it was first released, it certainly made me cry (not afraid to say) and to this day when ever I watch it, it still does. Rip Brandon, such a powerful film. Huge fan of the soundtrack too. Glad you enjoyed it Mr and Mrs movies.

this movie will forever be one of my favourites .. brandon lee would’ve been such a big star .. i even read that heath ledger took inspiration from this movie which you can see the similarities between the films

My brother and I quote this movie all the time. "Is that gasoline I smell?" “Victims, aren't we all?” "Can't rain all the time." And the best one of them all, doing at random times lol anytime anywhere, "Fire It Up! Fire It Up! Fire It Up!" haha

While an incredibly small detail, have to give the film makers props for going the extra mile, showing Eric's character actually having his clothes sewn on, when he is buried, which is exactly what funeral homes do.

I was in high school when this came out and was obsessed. Saw it twice in the theater, bought the graphic novel, a hat, and a metal art piece with the logo. Even met the author and got him to sign my stuff.

***Long ass comment. Grab some popcorn*** So, here is what happened. They filmed an insert shot of actor Michael Massee loading bullets into his revolver. The bullets were dummy rounds that had been taken apart and emptied of powder. The rounds had not had their primers removed either, so it is thought that the round must have come loose from the casing when someone dry fired it. The force from the primer was enough to push it loose from the casing and it ended up lodged in the barrel. To save money, the line producer started sending people home that night instead of paying OT. One of the people he sent home was the armorer, since there would be no more shots involving bullets and just blanks and squibs. They prepped the gun for the shot where Massee shoots Lee by loading it with blanks and handing it to Massee. No one visually inspected the barrel to make sure it was clear. They got set, and the director called action. Lee walked through a door into frame and everyone acted out the scene. At the end of it Massee pulled the trigger and the blank material propelled the .44 round out of that barrel at about half the force that a real round would have. It entered Lee's abdomen and tore through some organs before coming to rest against his spine. He fell backward instead of forward like he was supposed to. The director called cut and the stunt coordinator checked on him. He had no idea he was actually shot, but he saw he was passed out and breathing hard. They called an ambulance and Lee was taken to the hospital. His heart stopped before he got there, but they were able to keep it beating either because they got it going again, or through manual compressions. He went in for surgery. They tried to repair the damage done, but there was just too much. They declared him dead after 6 hours of emergency surgery. He was 28. The local police and district attorney ruled that Lee's death was due to negligence and not foul play. The producers were sued by Lee's family and fiancé. Director Alex Proyas held onto the footage of Lee's death until all the lawsuits and official inquiries were over. He then burned the footage so nobody can see it; unlike Vic Morrow's and the two small children whose death footage was leaked to the public (and available right here on KZfaq if you're morbidly curious). The film was completed using a body double and digitally lifting Lee's face from outtakes and placing it over the double's face. They had to tweak the script a bit and condense certain parts. They also had to remove an entire subplot with actor Michael Berryman because there was no way to do it with Lee gone. Yet, they found a way to complete it and honor his memory. The film is sad because of how much potential Lee had, but it certainly is great film to be remembered by.

this film's soundtrack album was in heavy rotation among the CDs I listened to in the 90's, and is still one of my all-time favorites, a classic

The Crow is among my top movies. Saw it in the theater with my friends when it first came out. The shot of Eric igniting the crow symbol after T-bird dies is the image that always comes to mind whenever I think of this film. The soundtrack is one I still listen to often. The movie was popular among players of the various "World of Darkness" Tabletop RPGs published by White Wolf, since Detroit as depicted in this film pretty much screams "gothic-punk", the term that White Wolf always used to describe the feel of their setting. At the time, my friends and I were fans of their recently released game "Mage: the Ascension". We quickly noticed that several of the alchemical symbols that were used to represent the Nine Spheres in Mage were also used as graffiti in this film, in the exterior shots around Eric's apartment building (especially when he first returns and the crow is leading him around). That pretty much guaranteed that we treated this movie as if it *was* set in the World of Darkness, and that Mages probably existed somewhere off screen. We apparently weren't alone; fans soon wrote up character types that represented people like Eric in the game.

It hurts too much to watch this movie. I was A fan of Brandon Lee from day one and convinced he was going to be the biggest movie star of all time. I was crushed when he died. Had he lived he would have been the star of The Matrix. Imagine the fighting skills he would have brought to that! I recommend Rapid Fire. My favorite Brandon movie.

@8:10 “I love Trash. They’re almost as good as Garbage” gave me a hearty chuckle!!

Watched this when I was 17 and it became my favourite movie. I'm now 42 and it's still my favourite movie. Fire it up! 🔥

Favorite scene is when he walks into the church. That wide view and music is epic. Had that poster on my wall for years. But the best line is the "Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children". I don't think there's been a more beautiful and accurate line to describe motherhood.

This film came out in 94, and I was 14 at the time. It was a huge favorite of mine and Brandon RIP was amazing. My first tattoo when I turned 18 was the crow from the cover of the album over my heart. And to this day, my car plate is CROW94! It was due to his family to go ahead and re-shoot and release the film in honor of Brandon!

This was a phenomenal breakdown. As a martial artist and professional fighter THE CROW is very passionate to me. Bruce and Brandon Lee changed my life.Thank you for giving it justice. You both are the best!👍🏾👍🏾🌝🥋

Legendary movie...A perfect storm of elements made this special for a bunch of people. Brandons death(along with the writers own tragedy) gave weight to the emotion, the gothic vibe was pitch perfect, and the soundtrack was utterly legendary...especially for those among the rock scene in the era. Brandon had talent for sure...he could also do the martial arts part too, proven by the movie "Rapid Fire".

Things you may have seen the other actors in, the main villain was the sheriffs cousin in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, T-Bird was the main villain in The Warriors and Charlie the waste disposal guy in John Wick, Tin Tin was Lord Nikon in Hackers

One of my personal fav films, and very poignant to me as a Gen Xer (who still loves the soundtrack) and remembers having heard of Brandon's death over the radio while working, as if it were only months ago. The similarly tragic shooting death of Halyna Hutchins on the _Rust_ film set by Alec Baldwin, had brought Lee's death back to the fore again.

I don't know if anyone else mentioned it, but a pretty significant character was actually cut out of the movie because of Brandon's death. The Skull Cowboy was originally the one that guided Eric after he was brought back from the dead. If it seems a little choppy at the end, with the crow being the sole source of Eric's powers and shooting it severing his connection, it's because the Skull Cowboy originally informed him that he had already completed his mission of avenging himself and Shelley, and told him not to interfere with the living. When Eric refuses, he loses his invincibility. And the Skull Cowboy was played by none other than Michael Berryman, of 'The Hills Have Eyes' fame! They were never able to complete the dialogue scenes he had with Brandon because of his death, so his character was just cut out of the film. Berryman only had a few moments with Brandon and a couple scenes, but you could tell Brandon's death left him shaken for life. He gave an interview just a few years ago on The Last Drive-In's 'Dinners of Death' marathon, and he still seems haunted by it, and he rightfully called out the blatant neglect on set that caused the tragedy. I don't think the scenes are necessary in the film, but they definitely would have explained a lot, and given us further insight into the 'rules' here. And it also paints the afterlife as a bit harsh towards the living, adding to the bleak tone. The Skull Cowboy can see here that Sarah is in danger, but is willing to let her die potentially, because it's not Eric's mission. And in this version the Skull Cowboy didn't know that Top Dollar was the one ultimately responsible for their deaths, so in a way, he would have been discouraging Eric from completing his mission without knowing it. I don't think one version is necessarily superior over the other, but it's interesting to imagine what would have been. And it definitely would have cut down the whole 'the crow is his weakness!' thing that the sequels grossly exploited, to their detriment.

Michael Massee, the actor of Funboy, was the one who shot Brandon Lee. According to interviews with him the script for the scene didn´t even have a gun in it, but the director Alex Proyas changed it all of a sudden. There are different versions of what exactly happened, one says it was a real bullet, the other one that there were metal splints in the barrel. Massee was afterwards not able work for a year. It is a bit creepy that this very film made him prominent, so that when he came back to acting he got lots of small roles.

Crow II - City of Angels is pretty good and does fit in with the lore of "The Crow"... Each returned soul is another Crow and another story..

If memory serves, the body double for Brandon after his passing went on to be Keanu's stuntman in The Matrix and now directs the John Wick films.

This movie starts off my Halloween the mischief night movie , but also holds a very special place in all our hearts . I truly hope they never remake it . I watched this movie so many times growing up , everything about this movie is great , it has it all. R.I.P Brandon Lee you will forever be missed. It can't rain all the time . My personal opinion he would have made a great joker . The antagonist leader top dollar Micheal Wincott plays in alot of movies he was recently in nope

The missus doing the crowing noises at the beginning, followed by "... Okay... " made me legitimately LOL.

This is one of those movies that leave you feeling more alive than before you saw it. Not a lot of action movies can say that.

I saw this in the theater when it first came out, I was 13 years old… my sisters boyfriend at the time who was 18 took me to see it, we were OBSESSED with the movie, we immediately went to try and buy the soundtrack at “nobody beats the wiz” lol some nostalgia for everybody lol

T-Birds final ride is my favorite scene. David Patrick Kelly is such an underrated actor.

My favorite Ernie Hudson role is Monroe from "Congo." He was so cool in that. I felt like they could have made a movie just based on his character's adventures.

This is my favourite movie of all time. RIP Brandon Lee. 😢 I watched this for the first time in 2000, and I’ll never forget SEARCHING for it afterwards, (it being my favourite movie and all) cause I was so young and didn’t remember the title😅 a phenomenal movie for it’s time and for TIME to come, made legendary. Timeless. And the soundtrack is one I still listen to, in 2022. 22 years after my first watch of this film. Glad you both loved it.

It came out in 1994. So it's not quite 30 years old. Hands down my favorite scene is Mr Gideon's pawn shop. Eric's entrance quoting The Raven. How he just toys with him .the blowing up the building with the shotgun. Brandon's performance is so good that even if he hadn't died , I think it would have been a cult classic. And the Long haired boss is Michael Wincott. One of my favorite character actors. You may have seen him in Along came a spider, Robin Hood prince of thieves or most recently Nope. Any time I hear "fire it up" I know they've seen this. I try to watch it at least once a year because it can't rain all the time.

"Boy how do you explain that one?" The opening few seconds of the movie already explained it, guys. lol.

"It cant rain all the time." - Favorite line of all time.

This movie will forever be iconic!! One of my all time favorite movies. The nostalgia is real

One on my all time favorite movies. The sequels don't hold a candle to the original. So poignant and sad both the movie and what happened during the filming. Brandon would've been up there with Keanu and Statham and all the others if not for his untimely death.

Loved this movie when I was a teenager. I think it’s hilarious now. The pawn shop owner’s dialogue always gets me.

FYI: The actor who played the long-haired villain also played the Sherriff of Nottingham's cousin in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Maybe that's where you saw him before?

0:08 ........It's nice to see a reaction channel that allow themselves to have fun.... Some channels are so focus on trying (key word) to show some type of reaction, that they do no reaction at all, or straightforward overreact (and believe me, those are boring as hell)..... I'm glad you two and a few other channels that I know are a nice exception......

I was homeschooled with cable available 24/7 so anything that came on Starz or HBO I watched. Mostly anime, but I was into the 90’s goth grunge aesthetic and this movie really hit the spot for me. I thought it was so romantic and gothic and beautiful. I did learn later what happened to Brandon. So tragic. 😢

"Why are we swallowing bullets"? Because we want to blow the bowl off the wall!! Thank you, thank you! Two shows on Sunday! Tip the wait staff!!

Amazing feverish movie, still gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes afte all these years. I remember watching it in the 90ies with my then girlfriend and a couple of friends. When the song faded in during the "Makeup scene", it took me only one second to know that it had to be The Cure. The song is called "Burn" and was written for this movie. The soundtrack is amazing and sparked my love for Nine Inch Nails. They contributed the song "Dead Souls", a blistering cover of Joy Division, which plays during the rooftop running scene (Parkour! ).

They were almost done with the film by the time he died. This was the first film to replace a major character with CGI. One of the replaced scenes was the rooftop parkour scene. There were a few other coverage shots they needed but they just used his stunt double and flopped his hair in front of his face. I love this movie. My mom, who dislikes virtually every movie, loves this movie...which still weirds me out a bit haha.

Probably the first of the modern comic book adaptations. And probably the first to catch the mood and style of the source material. Of course they changed a lot. I understand that. For example, the comic book was even more sad. (hard to believe, I know) Also, there was never any struggle or danger to Eric in it. It was just him killing himself to the top of the bad guys until nobody was left.

“You’re all going to die.” This movie kicks so much ass. R.I.P. Brandon Lee

​Have you seen The Count of Monte Cristo? The actor with the long hair in this film (Michael Wincott) plays the boss of the prison in TCoMC.

I am a huge fan of this movie and saw it many times in the theater. I can still clearly remember where I was when I heard about the shooting and his death. This came out at a very rough time in my life and I feel a deep connection to this movie and as much as I love it, it is sometimes difficult to watch especially when you see the "For Brandon and Eliza" at the end. I now live about 90 minutes north of his grave, buried along side his father in Seattle, and have visited it a few times.If Brandon Lee had lived I have always thought he would have been perfect for the role of Neo in The Matrix series.

Brandon Lee was actually invested in the character and it's a shame he passed away in making this film.

"He's lookin real good for.... being dead" Nice save there 🤣 Don't worry, Brandon Lee was one good looking dude and I say that as a straight man.

Great film, great soundtrack, one of the best soundtracks

The bird in this movie is named Magic, and is actually a raven. Magic has been the only reoccurring actor to show up in all the films and TV show and is still alive today. He could be in the reboot.

Michael Wincott was in Aliens' Resurrection as well playing Terry Silver in The Karate Kid 3 and Cobra Kai He also featured in a couple of episodes of The Littlest Hobo opposite his brother and his father 40 years.

There wasn't a lot of dialogue and it was probably meant to be this way. They tried to make a sort iconic dark fable of sort. With over-the-top villains and a very simple story. When I saw it, I liked it well enough, although I felt it was a bit shallow. It's sort of an extended videoclip. It's beautiful to look at and Brandon Lee gave a great breakout performance. In my opinion he would have had a great career following the movie. The Crow made him finally come out of his father's shadow. Before that he was relegated to action b-movies. R.I.P. Brandon Lee.

Fun little fact in the scene where Brandon is walking around and throws away the trench coat and the kids are running around him with thier flashlights and it slows down and pauses for a second on his face, that was done as a tribute to Brandon. R.I.P. Brandon; IT CAN'T RAIN ALL THE TIME

This and darkman are my favourite comic book / superhero revenge films

Mister Movies does a pretty spot-on Pennywise impression!

The actor playing the lead antagonist in the film would be Michael Wincott who was as you stated popular for playing villainous roles; some of the films you may recognize him from would be Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991), The Three Musketeers (1993), or perhaps Alien Resurrection to name a few.

Chad Stahelski (director of John wick) was a stuntman and also the stand in for Brandon Lee in The Crow. They digitally put Brandon Lee's face on Chad in some scenes.

This movie is a huge part of my movie-viewing life. I have been watching this since my brother bought the VHS for $90. I have been quoting this movie on a regular basis since middle school. It also should be noted that this is kind of the prototypical "goth" movie, and it is the reason that so many 90's teens just painted their faces white with black lines for Halloween. The thought of Brandon Lee passing away is almost a separate piece of information for me than the movie. While I cannot say what the overall public exposure would have been, my enjoyment is not associated with that memory, and it doesn't seem like it's cultural impact was either. But who knows, that is just the opinion of someone who wore fishnet shirts in highschool.

I remember the article in Thrasher about Mr. Movies. IIRC, it said something like: "He was a generational talent. The best to have ever done it. In the end, it was too easy for him. It makes sense he'd leave the sport and look for a challenge like being a husband and a father."

I remember buying the soundtrack as soon it came out. What a movie.

It's honestly cool seeing heroes from outside the big two (Marvel and DC). I'd love to see you two react to others like The Mask or Spawn. Okay, Spawn may not be perfect, but it's worth a watch.

I know the author of the Crow was using this as therapy, but I always wanted to see a version where Shelly comes back and takes her own vengeance.

Ms. Movies mentioned it (the singer) so i can't resist. In wrestling theres a man which his artistic name goes by Sting but his gimick was totally inspired by The Crow. Back in the 90's in WCW Sting looked a heck like this character.

I love movies, but this is my absolute favorite! Thank you for reacting to it! RIP Brandon Lee

You guys doing the "fire it up" cheer is adorable. 😆👍

25:45 .....We have a saying here in Spain (don't know if you have some similar one there) that goes:"Raise crows, and they'll gouge out your eyes"..... Well....nothing else to add....

Watched this for the first time in 95 at my friend's 12th birthday party sleepover lol. I was the only one glued to the screen. Man, I loved this film. It holds up pretty well, but it is so 90s.

Getting high on eye-ball smoke”. I’m done😂😂😂

The guy who plays the boss Top Dollar is Michael Wincott. His most famous role was probably Sir Guy of Gisborne in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (the one with Kevin Costner).

There's 4 crow movies. The Crow takes place in Detroit during a time period where the city was literally on fire due to gang violence the worst night being devils night.

RIP Brandon Lee. He left us at 28. Gone but not forgotten.

The fire it up chant is my pre-bbq grilling ritual.

I saw this in an exclusive sneak peek viewing at the Pantages Theatre in Toronto (now the Ed Mirvish) May 10th, 1994. It was bitter-sweet, as I had loved the graphic novel it was based on for years , and was a huge fan of Brandon Lee's films, and he had been killed accidentally during the filming. I still watch it every year, and have the shirt from the sneak-peek event in a box, in a plastic bag in my closet.

P.S. Remember, this is also Dwight Schrute's favorite movie of all-time👍💯

The actor who played Top Dollar (dude with the long hair) was in quite a few villainous/rogue roles in the 90s/early 2000s. Of note, he was in the following: Metro Along Came a Spider Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves The Three Musketeers (93 version) Alien Resurrection The Count of Monte Cristo

The main bad guy was in Three Musketeers 1 year before The Crow - pretty sure the rapier he kills Gideon with is a callback to that.

Ever since having seen The Crow upon its release, it has been one of my most favourite films. Not only because the performances are excellent, but because it’s visually stunning, has possibly one of the best soundtracks; & also because of what Proyas achieved. The Crow was filmed somewhat back to front; with Brandon Lee filming all the scenes of him in make up first. This meant that the scenes of him without the now iconic make up would be some of the last filmed on the production; & sadly the last Lee would’ve ever film. On March 31, 1993, Lee was filming a scene where his character, Eric, is shot after witnessing the beating and rape of his fiancée. Actor Michael Massee's character Funboy fires a .44 Smith & Wesson Model 639 revolver at Lee as he walks into the room. A previous scene using the same gun had called for inert dummy cartridges fitted with bullets, but no powder or primer, to be loaded in the revolver. For close-up scenes that use a revolver, where the bullets are clearly visible from the front, and do not require the gun to actually be fired, dummy cartridges provide a more realistic appearance than blank rounds, which have no bullet. Instead of purchasing commercial dummy cartridges, the film's prop crew, hampered by time constraints, created their own by pulling the bullets from live rounds, dumping the powder charge, then reinserting the bullets. In the fatal scene, which called for the revolver to be actually fired at Lee from a distance of 12-15 feet, the dummy cartridges were exchanged for blank rounds, which feature a live powder charge and primer, but no bullet, thus allowing the gun to be fired without the risk of an actual projectile. As the production company had sent the firearms specialist home early, responsibility for the guns was given to a prop assistant who was unaware of the rule for inspecting all firearms before and after any handling. Therefore, the barrel was not checked for obstructions when the time came to load it with the blank rounds. Since the bullet from the dummy round was already trapped in the barrel, this caused the .44 Magnum bullet to be fired out of the barrel with virtually the same force as if the gun had been loaded with a live round, and it struck Lee in the abdomen, mortally wounding him. O'Barr later remarked that losing Lee was like losing his fiancée all over again, and he regretted ever writing the comic in the first place. In an interview in 2005, 12 years after the incident, Massee revealed that he still had nightmares about it, stating, "I don't think you ever get over something like that”. Massee vowed to never watch the film; a promise he kept right up until when he passed away in 2016. I can’t even begin to imagine the guilt he must have carried with him. Also, The Cure, who composed the song ‘Burn’ specifically for the film, up until only a few years back refused to play it out of respect. After a great deal of soul-searching, Proyas and the rest of The Crow's cast and crew arrived at the conclusion that Lee would have insisted that they finish the film. With most of the actor's scenes completed, it was up to special effects house Dream Quest to fill in the blanks, which they accomplished in a number of ways. For the scene in which a newly-returned-from-the-grave Eric returns to his old apartment, for example, unused footage of Lee was used, with the actor's image digitally composited into a shot of the apartment set. For a few other key images, however, the effects technicians turned to techniques that were, in 1993, ridiculously cutting edge. Proyas brought in a relatively green stunt performer by the name of Chad Stahelski, who had been good friends with Lee and had a similar build. For a handful of scenes, including the one in which Eric sports his eerie makeup for the first time, approaching his window as lightning briefly illuminates the room, Stahleski stood in for Lee during shooting. Then, Dream Quest used previously captured footage of Lee to digitally graft the actor's face on Stahleski's body. The resulting shots certainly benefit from their brevity and from the darkness in which they were shot, but even today, the effect holds up remarkably well. Interestingly, Stahleski would go on to direct the John Wick films; I have no doubt, had Lee not died, he’d have been cast into the role. The loss of Lee during filming had a profound impact on Rochelle Davis, who played Sarah. Davis struggled with her mental health & substance abuse following the films release. For some time she was homeless; however she’s turned her life around & from her social media seems to be making progress….even to the point where she’s now appearing at conventions.

LOL at the Sting comment @9:20...that works on multiple levels 😆

"What, is this Gotham City or something?" Nope, just Detroit.

LOL 16:55 Can you guys do "fire it up" for every movie reaction from now on? 😄

Cult classic I remember. One of those films that's brings back my memories of not only a good movie but the early 90s

Hahaha. You both doing the "Fire it up" chant was something I didn't know I needed.

One of the best movies and soundtracks ever

If Brandon still alive he would be play Neo.. This role was write to him.. So sad this is not happened. I watxh Crow every year to honor Brandons work on this movie, and always cry.. My favourite scene was Brandon when he spoke Gentleman and come to revenge last one.. Very cool scene.. All movie is such so good, the story, musics, scene , acting all cast.. My favourite Crow ever.. No need a reboot.

I hope they do a Crow film more faithful to the comic book cause it kicks ass!

For some reason I like it more now than I did when I first saw it after it came out in the video stores. It feels like forever since those places where a thing lol

Michael wincott was in Film called metro starring Eddie Murphy Michael wincott was the villain in that as well

Chad Stahelski the Director of the first John Wick film was the body double for Brandon Lee in this film.
