Movie #139 - The Crow

The Crow
Miramax
1994 - Rated R - 1 hr 42 min
Director: Alex Proyas
Starring: Brandon Lee, Michael Wincott, Rochelle Davis, Ernie Hudson

Don't watch this movie if you plan to be in a good mood when it's over. Not that I don't like it, I do. It's just really, really depressing.  Guy and his fiancee get murdered, guy comes back from the grave one year later to seek revenge on their murderers, guy is constantly haunted by memories of his fiancee.  It's just so sad!

Awesome, cuz the Crow kicks butt, but very sad.

And then you realize that Brandon Lee died during the filming of this movie (blank was replaced with bullet, no one admits to knowing how this happened), and you're even more sad. Cuz he's good and he could've been great, but he never made it that far, because some idiot killed him by accident.

See? There aren't many happy points to this movie. Except that he does get revenge and, therefore, can now rest in peace.  So that's good...

  1. Knowing what happened to Brandon Lee the scene where he's asked "I thought you were invincible" and replies "I was" just breaks my heart every damn time.
