Product Description
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

4.0 out of 5 stars
sadly brandon lee's last film,
This review is from: The Crow (DVD + Blu-ray Combo Pack) (Blu-ray)
A great movie made even better by Brandon Lee's brilliant ( and ultimitely heart -breaking ) performance, thisBlu - ray looks much better then it did on DVD. I still found it hard to watch at times, the Crow character and what happened to Brandon are so intertwined but I thought it was his best performance and deserves to be watched. Excellent movie , very dark , RIP Brandon Lee.

This review is from: The Crow [UMD for PSP] (UMD for PSP)
This is a Halloween story. It was just a year ago on all hollows eve that an unscrupulous group of routies did untold things to a nice coupe, resulting in the couple's death. Well the young man Eric (Brandon Lee) is back and invincible. It is time to give the routies the death wish treatment. One by one they get uniquely dispatched and in the process a mother and daughter are re-united. The local policeman (Ernie Hudson) sees dead people.Will Eric balance the books or does he find out that you can't when all the time?
