Product Description

Product Description

Eric Draven (Brandon Lee) is killed with his fiancée on Devil's Night by a gang of dope-dealing thugs. A year after his death Draven is resurrected to wreak revenge on his killers in an awesomely athletic fashion. Star Brandon Lee was killed during the shooting of the film, which was completed using body doubles and state-of-the-art special effects.

From Amazon.co.uk

The Crow set the standard for dark and violent comic-book movies (like Spawn or director Alex Proyas's superior follow-up, Dark City), but it will forever be remembered as the film during which star Brandon Lee (son of martial arts legend Bruce Lee) was accidentally killed on the set by a loaded gun. The filmmakers were able to digitally sample what they'd captured of Lee's performance and piece together enough footage to make the film releasable. Indeed, it is probably more fascinating for that post-production story than for the tale on the screen. The Crow is appropriately cloaked in ominous expressionistic shadows, oozing urban dread and occult menace from every dank, concrete crack, but it really adds up to a simple and perfunctory tale of ritual revenge. Guided by a portentous crow (standing in for Poe's raven), Lee plays a deceased rock musician who returns from the grave to systematically torture and kill the outlandishly violent gang of hoodlums who murdered him and his fiancée the year before. The film is worth watching for its compelling visuals and genuinely nightmarish, otherworldly ambience. --Jim Emerson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I hadn't seen it for about ten years and as the full moon came beaming through my apartment window late last night, it just felt right to indulge in some Proyas Gothic excellence.

The question still taps away at all our doors, namely would the film be the cult classic it became without the Brandon Lee tragedy? That's a tricky one to answer because we all deep down have a morbid curiosity about us, especially with films and their stars. This is why I got a lot more from re-watching the movie after a very long period of time, namely that it may have drew many of us in years ago because of the tragedy and heart aching back story to writer James O'Barr's birthing of Eric Draven the character, but it can now enthral, thrill and shatter emotions of its own accord.

The Gothic art design and the soundtrack are emo personified before such a label was invented, Lee is lithe and skilful and serving notice to what a talent we were robbed of that fateful day in March 1993. The villains are a roll call of go to guys for such roles, Kelly, Wincott, Todd, while Ernie Hudson fronts up as good cop personified. And finally Proyas, struggling with the budget even before Brandon's death, that he manages to create this world of perpetual bleakness, but still offer hope and beauty - the latter via tracking shots, pull aways and intricate frame shots of a tormented Draven, shows him to be a purveyor of considerable skills.

All told, The Crow (1994) deserves to not be thought of as a cult classic, but just as a classic, period. 9.5/10

The Blu-ray is not worth the upgrade, stick with the S/E DVD folks.

Finally, I can watch the Crow in all its widescreen glory.

OK, it isn't the sharpest HD picture I've ever seen, but it's the best I've ever seen this movie and it really made it better for the wait. The picture could still benefit from a complete re-master, but that could take years, if ever and if you want to enjoy this movie in widescreen, with 5.1 DTS and a handful of various extras, this is well worth the upgrade from the DVD.

The interview with Brandon Lee (his last recorded interview) has a few ominous moments and there are some interesting behind the scenes looks.

The movie has dated a little, but it's still a nice Gothic revenge flick which Tim Burton would be proud of. I'm one of the few who likes everything Alex Proyas has made and this is a good solid start for his body of work.

Enjoy.

This was definately one of the best movies of the 90's. The story revolves around Eric Draven an underground rock musician who, along with what was his very soon to be wife, was murdered on Halloween. His fiance was brutally raped and beaten, and later died in hospital, while Eric was stabbed, shot twice and thrown out of a three story window.
Exactly one year later, Eric is ressurected by a mysterious crow so that he can take out the revenge his death prevented him from having. He is given the strenth of ten men, the power of invulneribility and sight of the crow. Throughout the movie the crow guides him to the wereabouts of the four wrong doers so that he can put "the wrong things right."
Everything about this movie just oozes quality (even thought the plot is just the reworking of the basic revenge story, but with a supernatural twist). Brandon Lee is just superb as Eric Draven, throughout the film you can see his anguish and rage towards his murderers because of the beautiful life they denied him with his true love. You can also see him going slightly insane due the powers given to him. Ernie Hudson, David Patrick Kelly and Michael Wincott are all also excellent as their respective characters, but it is Lee who steals the show, this young actor would have become a major star after the release of this movie were it not for his tragic death. He is charismatic likable and overall very convincing.
This DVD package is much improved over the last one, with the sound and picture quality given a very good and welcome re-hash. Other extra's include a featurette, commentary from writer and producer, profile of James O'Barr, who created the comic on which the movie was based as well as a comparison of the movie in its old and new format.

A hugely upgraded 1:85 anamorphic picture and terrific DTS audio on the first disc of this two disc set, ensures that The Crow (1994) is done justice. Alex Proyas' movie design wonderfully out-grimes David Fincher, so much so that the set apartments look as though they belong in a 1970's movie. A palpable sense of loss and grief pervades over the entire film, made especially poignant in the wake of beautiful Brandon Lee's tragic and untimely death. There is always Hollywood talk of remaking this film, but this film's individual mood, style and pathos is it's very own creation.

A bold statement to say this is one of the best comic book films made, but this dark, violent revenge thriller is packed full of so many moments of greatness, from the visual almost Blade runner like dark and rain filled night scenes to the exceptional sound track, both score and rock music onto huge action and stunts, mixed with romance, a quotable script, and Brandon Lee giving a career best performance (sadly his last lead role) it's near perfection.

Only some scenes of gratuitous violence let it down, violence is fine in an adult film but in The Crow it occasionally pushes it a little two far (The villain's sister has a particulary gruesome demise) and seems to cheapen the film, thankfully not too much.

Brandon Lee turns in a manic performance as the make up clad hero (much in the tone of Heath Ledger as the Joker in Dark knight) stuck in despare, turmoil and rage.

The plot is simple Eric Draven a young musician is brought back from the dead to exact tevenge on the criminal gang that killed him and his girlfriend.

The story sets the stage for a lot of graphic, massivly stylish action scenes as he tracks the gang one by one and sends them to there maker.

Michael Wincott (Robin Hood prince of thieves) plays the main villain so well and supported by a good cast of charachter actors, the various interactions between the villains with a great script make for a thrilling story.

Alex Proyas director of later hits such as I Robot has put together a mash up of genres and as near a good film as you get, tinged with the sadness of the tradgedy that surrounded it.

A film ahead of it's time? Maybe, one things for sure, Brandon Lee could have been the next big thing based on his tragic, tortured perfomance.

4.5 out of 5.
