I had no idea Brandon fought so hard for the movie or was such a professional on set. It's such a tragedy, but also so iconic. When I was young and introduced to this movie, it was almost a supernatural feeling watching the film for the first time. Brandon Lee really helped create something meaningful in so many ways 🖤

It surprised me as well. There's a lot of actors who fight for their movies but sadly their efforts are mostly unreported, I think it's something I'll be sure to highlight when I cover movies in this kind of way in future

Thanks very much, it's always been an interesting story to me so I covered it as fully as possible

In the last on-camera interview of Lee, he said that this was his best role to date... Which gives me the creeps

Great assessment of the many tragedies during the filming of The Crow. I don't think many people understand the importance of the movie, upon its release in 1994. Just a different point in time. You earned yourself a new follower Lee 👍🏼

I was 12 years old when The Crow came out and remember throughout the 90s (and even early 2000s) that it was a significant cult classic and an important piece of gothic culture. I grew up on metal and grunge (Slayer, Metallica, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Type O Negative etc.) so this movie should have been on my list but I never watched it in its entirety. A few days ago the Critical Drinker posted a video praising The Crow, having watched it recently for the first time as an adult. Last night I decided to do the same and loved it. When you factor in the low budget and all the issues, it's even more impressive how well this film holds up, even by modern standards. As for Brandon - when the movie was over, I was a little emotional. It brought back some memories from back then and hearing about his death. Now I'm learning more about him. What a fuckin' tragic loss of not only a genuinely good person, but, like his father, a fireball of talent and potential. We can only imagine the possible rad movies he would have starred in. Very sad. I'm going to watch it again and share it with my nieces. I think they'll love it. Thanks for the video.

Anytime I watch this masterpiece, I always watch it in black and white. It gives it a real creepy feeling. Iove it. I do the same with Batman 89 I always adjust my flat screen to black and white 👍🏻💯 looks awesome.

I have been watching your content for a few months, and now I'm getting recommended this older content of yours.

I absolutely love that movie, it was awful that a man of twenty eight passed away all because someone had not done their job correctly! My children are now adults and I watched the movie and I have to say that both my sons were very upset that a man at the beginning of his acting career was lost forever! The actor that had shot him had no reason no worry about aiming the weapon and pulling the trigger as he wouldn’t even consider that any issues had occurred, I feel bad that his life has been altered due to the complete lack of checking all weapons! Cocaine causes major problems with concentration, normal working doesn’t happen people make big mistakes, I know first hand how it affects the brain, cocaine would also cause accidents etc! RIP Brandon Lee.

Never forget one of the greatest pieces of dialogue in the film, "What in the crap?!?" (I'm joking of course, but man, that part cracks me up EVERY time.)

Somebody planted that bullet. Not at all blaming the actor who pulled the trigger, but the fact that the shooting continued when the master-at-arms was conveniently not at work that day (while, apparently, everyone was high on white powder) is just...fucking WEIRD man.

You did great with this in depth review. You stated facts and not false info. I would go as far as to say this review is the best I have seen. Have a great day.

This movie was definitely made for us by "odin", worthless criminals who were paid to kill him will lie and say that it was just an accident, that they were playing with guns, and shot Brandon in the head with a blank. But we all know his blood was too special for this world, enemies of humanity wanted him gone. So they made it look like an accident

The production's fault for being careless. Unprofessionalism is crime,

Described as "-- a disgruntled sculptor" who drove a car through the plaster shop in the HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, they somehow, strangely-- left out WHO was with me in that car, COKED OFF HIS ASS, egging me on to drive the car through the sets and even build a PLYWOOD RAMP, little kid, 70's Evel Knievel style, to JUMP the car over as well-- prompting producer Jeff Most to fire ME. So yeah-- the Coke thing is DEFINITELY true, though I never indulged myself. I'll never forget standing there in the parking lot of the production office, next to what was left of my rental car-- with Jeff, arguing about what happened. Who was with me that night? I won't say-- and he can't either...
