BRANDON LEE'S Fatal Scene in THE CROW | He Died 30 Years Ago Today (3/31/1993)  

This is an excerpt from our podcast: "On-set Shootings: The Deaths of Jon-Erik Hexum, Brandon Lee & Halyna Hutchins." Link to full episode here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NOWk6c3HKJU.html

Brandon Lee would've become a huge star. The guy had it all.

Fun Fact: Chad Stahelski, director of the John Wick franchise, was a stuntman for Keanu Reeves in The Matrix and before that, was Brandon Lee’s stuntman in The Crow, one of them at least. Keanu & Brandon would be almost the same age today if Brandon was still alive. I believe that if Brandon didn’t die, he would’ve taken Keanu’s spot in The Matrix franchise.

Can we address how traumatic this must’ve been for the actors to return to this location and continue with the scene that took brandon lees life? Like imagine telling Michael masse to hold and fire this gun again?!?! Unimaginable

I listen to the entire Crow movie sound track every Halloween. It still rocks ! Peace and warm winds to you Brandon .

This movie is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen

RIP Brandon Lee

They still don't need to remake this movie and the fact that they're f****** trying right now is horrible and disrespectful

After 30 years later The Crow is still a awesome movie R.i.p Brandon Lee

I was 15 when this movie 🎬 debut in theaters... I walked almost 2miles to a local theater to see this masterpiece... RIP BRANDON LEE...

I love this movie so damn much. For 1993 they did a really good job with the CGI. It’s tragic what happened on that set but I’m so glad that they ended up completing the film. It’s a beautiful way to honor Brandon Lee 🌹🕊

R.i.p you will never be forgotten Buildings burn You did die But your memory will live on forever

I still get emotional when I watch this movie. Its a masterpiece.

I always thought he was shot in the scene with the gang sitting at that long table.

I saw the crow last night and thought he was so good in this movie. I didn’t know he died while making this movie. May he RIP. Wow 30 years since his death.❤️

That music just really gets me with that scene and knowing what happened

Thank you for posting this. I never knew which part was digitally edited. I think they did a great job with what they had.

I learned something new with this. I was always under the impression that he was killed during the scene towards the end where all the thugs at the table shoot Brandon all at once while he's standing on it. I just assumed they used a different take. But i didn't even know about the shot of him in this scene that actually took his life. Thanks for that

I saw this in the theater 13 times. R.I.P. Brandon

Best movie and soundtrack ever. And they had the best man for the job Still hurts my heart

My favorite movie of all time. RIP Brandon Lee.

It’s sad when you know they had literally DAYS left not even a full week of filming…and he was engaged and set to be married April 17th, he was laid to rest April 3rd. I hate the fact that they have gone out and remade this movie with Bill Skarsgard. There were so many other crows they could have chosen. Eric’s story died with Brandon, and should remain that way out of respect. R.I.P. Brandon Lee.

I’m from Wilmington NC, i remember when this happened, my sister worked at the hospital he passed away at 😞 RIP Brandon Lee. TMNT 1990 was also filmed at same studio

For people wondering this film was shot backwards and this scene takes place near the beginning of the film.

Such an amazing indie film movie. Brandon killed it in the crow that I thought he was method acting. He died too soon

This was so sad that he passed away so young 😢😢

I remember this like it was yesterday. It was such a huge movie after that. It's an amazing movie and the soundtrack is killer. There were so many rumors speculating that he had been purposely killed and that his father had too😢

I can’t believe its been 30 years

He was so sweet

He will always be the best CROW IN MY EYES RIP BRANDON LEE!!! A legend gone way too soon from this world.

the scene where Eric Draven kills T bird at the dock was not Brandon either it was his stunt double but with BRandon's face digital. If you notice in the kills scenes of revenge the only one he doesn't speak to is T bird from what I've seen and read about it

Long live Brandon Lee ❤🙏

I knew this wasn't Brandon but I do love the idea of Eric hiding his face before his transformation.

RIP Beautiful Brandon Lee 😭💔

Rip Brandon

I thought Brandon's last scene when the kids trick or treating run down the sidewalk and he's laughing and.smiling with the kids..the scene freezes for about 5 seconds.Anyone thought that as well?

His death is one of those things that will always break my heart. Anytime I revisit, I tear up at some point before moving on.

Rumor has it Mike Massee (RIP) was hit so hard mentally after the death of Brandon Lee (RIP) that he quit acting after this movie.

Rest In Heaven, Brandon ❤

Its so sad how he died. He couldve become a movie legend if it never happened. I would bet the guy who played funboy was destroyed mentally after what happened during that scene

The best movie ever

Everyone made a fuss about fast and furious being finished with cgi for Paul Walker this was done cgi mid 90's not long after a commodore 64. This was brilliant.

My father named me after him

He died way too soon and this was all time favorite movie

God rest his soul. Fuck the remake coming out. Some movies you don't remake.

Fuck we lost a legend so sad!

They really continued after that…

I seen this movie with my father when I was about 11 The theater was Full of Bikers It was a super fun movie to watch in the theater

I cant even barely remember the movie itself, just started watching it on tv. couple years ago..a good few years ago it was huge back then on cable tv. A complete new movie from the tv audience.

...nos corresponde mantener vivas las leyendas épicas....thanks for the video...

Chinese Tríad killed Bruce and Brandon

I grew up watching this at like age 6 or 7. My parents told me he died during filming but it’s crazy to know how it actually occurred at my current age and how they just picked the movie off after that. It’s really shocking to me that they would even end up putting his face as a “cgi body falling.” Watching rn in 2024 because of the current release of the new crow trailer. Hoping it will be somewhat okay.

Brandon is the man

The fact there is a footage of the moment Brandon was shot, is so eerie.

Wow he died exactly one day after I was born 😞

Kool movie! Loved the costume.. RIP

I cannot fathom how his mother felt. First her husband and then her son die in such tragic circumstances.

„Tell me a story“

Tragically taken but at least he went out with a masterpiece as did Heath Ledger. RIP

💯🖤🔥 For Brandon Lee for lifetimes

Wasn't the director of John wick his stunt double?

The digital fill in FITS the movie though. As incredibly horrific as it was to lose Brandon Lee unnecessarily, this scene looks like it was SUPPOSED to be almost superimposed & bit unrealistic and uncanny. It's a beautiful lead up to Eric Draven's actualization of becoming the vengeful hunter of those that wronged him. It's as if he's gaining his resolve to avenge the wrongs he witnessed and were his ultimate undoing mortally. Truthfully, it's one of my favorite scenes BECAUSE it's just a little bit off and seems wholly intentional, even if you know the back story going in. One of my all time favorites that I watch repeatedly throughout each year. It's a comfort to all who know the secrets of The Divine Universe and the powers it uses and is able to infuse temporarily into mortals for the purpose of keeping the delicate balance in tact. I really hope the "theys" have dedicated the new 2024 remake to the memory of Brandon Lee. Not to do so is insanely uncouth and arrogant.

Did this scene inspire cowboy bebop?

Rest in peace to Brandon 🕊

Wow, so he was killed in what was the first part of the movie. I thought it was the later scene when he’s shot at by the massive group of bad guys. It is a great movie and he would’ve definitely risen to the heights of Keanu and other A listers. They did a great job at completing the movie. Wish he was still here. 😢

I'd like to just take a second and reiterate that this guy died tragically to make this great film. And those effects are amazing given they are from 1993

My youngest brother was named after this movie his first and middle name is brandon lee

Who was there behind the scene when young Brandon Lee got shot accidentally by I think the producer,,who was in charge of the Gun 🔫 was it Jeff Imada,, did he had friends inside the place behind the scene, and Why he Lied about not being there

Brandon Lee's fatal scene isnt the one you showed. Its when he gets shot in the apartment room when it goes through his hand and then he gets shot several more times. This was disclosed in a documentary

Makes so much sense that his face when falling was digital. I always thought his face looked odd then.

Just watched it last night. It has aged very well for having came out 30 years ago, i remember i used to love this movie when i was like 12, i had no business watching this 😂

but he did do the scene of being hoisted from being dropped from the window.. they played it in reverse to seem as he fell..

One movie and he’s a legend imagine the stuff he would’ve done…his father too what a crazy coincidence

Michael Masse said once the movie came out he never watch the movie because of what happened to Brandon 😢rip

a good chunk of the films budget went towards the cgi and green screen effects they needed to do to finish the sceens Brandon didnt get to. The body double for Brandon went on to direct the John Wick movies btw..that has nothing to do with anything,just an interesting factoid.

I want to say that this was a very sad movie for all the wrong reasons. This movie cost Brandon lee his life and Michael massee had to endure a lifetime of haunted guilt and pain to his grave. Rip Brandon lee and Michael massee!

There is another scene where they used it twice as well . Only people that basically grew up with this movie would be able to tell , I. Hope they never redo it.

What a shame

I love this movie and refuse to see the remake.

No, wrong. The shot where he is falling was NOT done digitally. There is behind the scenes footage showing Brandon hooked up to a rig that has him falling down & pulled back up with the camera 🎥

Pretty sure they deleted the actual footage and that's OK he would have been a super star so sad

111th comment, i remember watching this from my first own tv😸 i think i gotta see this again

All this time I thought it was during that last shootout of the movie

My ❤ will always be 💔

That’s what I said about Brandon Lee’s murder like if you look closely at the scene where he gets shot, it was actually the guy that was playing T-bird it wasn’t Michael Masse

that was such a great movie is was awesome

I believe the Sting (WWE) based his perona off The Crow / Brandon Lee

Rip..

RIP BEAUTIFUL 😇🌹🙏🏿😞 RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL FATHER 😞🌹😇🙏🏿💕 I'M WATCH THIS TONIGHT ❤️🙏🏿💪🏿💕

Yeah but those aren't even the scenes that he was shot in... he was shot by the main bad guy (forget his name) you can find interviews about it... it wasn't funboy who shot him.

💔💔💔🇵🇹🌹🌹🌹

Bro was murdered

What is the name of the music in the background?

Isn't it weird they didn't record this scene which happens pretty early in the movie until the end of shooting? 🤔 it's almost like they planned on his death happening..

They all did a great job considering the circumstances

My question is why did they shoot a scene that happens near the beginning of the movie at the end of production?

I'm surprised they didn't just deep fake bill skarsgards face over Lee's and re-release this as a new movie.

"And I'll Say i'm dead, and i move."

😢

So when his character was being killed in the movie the real actor was actually killed. Thats creepy af how did the crew finish that without being creeped tf out and quitting?
