It's neat to see this outfit in such good shape. I went to Seattle and while I was there I visited his grave in 2015. It struck me how even his gravestone looks old now. The letters on it had the slightest moss and fungus growing in them. It's also nice to see such passionate fellow "The Crow" historians. Sometimes I feel really isolated in that interest.
Rest In Peace Brandon Lee, gone 28 years ago at age 28. Life is short and beautiful so be kind and be excellent to each other. There will only be one Eric draven and I will never ever watch a “reboot” if they try and recast someone as Eric.
There's something noble, majestic and badass and at the same time disquiteing, depressing and sorrowful in the Crow's image in general, and this costume in particular. What a great character, the creative team created such a masterpiece!
You have a lot of respect for Brandon Lee he was the one and only Crow no one can replicate what he left behind. I’m a fellow Crow fan for you to have to entire hero costume as well as items that Brandon had when he was alive is a great honour. Keep up the great work you do man. Have a great halloween. 🎃🦅🎖🎸
This was fascinating to watch, I can't believe how well preserved it is after all these years. I too got goosebumps when you showed the hair clip and pack of gum. It's mesmerizing.
Just goes to show the power of stories. For all we know those things could as easily have been from the stunt guy who wore it for pickup scenes, who surely would have checked the pockets before/while acting in the coat. We get excited about them when they (in our minds at least) belonged to Brandon.
I saw this auction online. Cool to see who won it, and that that person cares so much about the legacy of this film, as well as the full respect of Brandon. Well done and congratulations.
Really nice job, guys! Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together! And congratulations on procuring not only the outfit, but also the bust of Brandon's face. I'm leaving this comment about half-way through watching the video, so I'm guessing you'll address this as I go forward, but I remember seeing a pack of half-eaten gum in the shots taken for the auction of this outfit. What a trip! I was 9 years-old when Brandon died. Between remembering seeing the original reports of his death on the news, being obsessed with his father and watching "Enter The Dragon" a million times, and then seeing the trailers start to roll out for the film a year after his death (quick tangent: I know the original trailer is out there in low quality form, but I really wish it were upscaled and released. The one where the narrator says, "In a world without justice, one man was sent back to protect the innocent..." with "Pain and Retribution playing from the score, and then transitioning into "Big Empty." Sooooo good!), this film and the events surrounding it have played a seminal part in shaping who I am. Thank you so much for going into so much detail and sharing this amazing piece of history with the world!
This was such a fascinating watch and thank you for uploading. Ive always been a big fan of Brandon Lee and am still so saddened he died so young. A very beautiful and unique tour of this costume as well as interesting facts about the film itself. R.I.P Brandon Lee🕯️xo
I was doing okay until the hair clip and the chewing gum. It demonstrates his humanity and mortality. He was a real person who died a tragic, untimely death. So sad. Thank you for preserving his costume and sharing it with us.
If the stunt double wore it to finish shots to complete the movie there is a big chance it was the body doubles hair clip and gum. Other than that this is an awesome video, congratulations on owning a piece of cinematic history
Never thought I would see something like this.. absolutely amazing. I was like 10, watching The Crow in my little run-down, neighborhood theater, literally the only person in there, kinda like the kid from Last Action Hero.. I absolutely fell in love with this film that day. My little mind couldn’t fully grasped what happened at the time, I just knew a hero I just met was no longer here. I’m really glad these pieces found you. You treat them with much deserved respect.
Thank you so much for preserving these items so lovingly. The life cast is so poignant to me, what a treasure 🖤 So grateful to know these things are being cared for, and his legacy honored…history preserved.. ✨🥀🕯🥀✨
What a treasure to posses! of course I understand why his mom, sister and former fiancé wouldn't want it, It holds painful memories of what could have been. RIP Brandon. Thanks guys!
This is amazing! On one hand I’m jealous because I remember when this went up for auction and if I had the money, I would have been all in on it. But on the other hand, seeing it go to someone like this is awesome. A true fan and very respectful. Thank you for sharing it with us!
Wow this is truly amazing this is a peace that will never be forgotten thank you so much for the tour it freaked me out to know about the face mold it's definitely Brandon Lee God bless you guys an happy new years
Thank you guys so much!! It's beyond words. It' s fantastic! I was always wondering where all of these are stored, where are they wandering... and i am Speechless about the pockets
Thank you for the video. Really cool to see that the hair clip and gum were left inside and not removed by anyone else that had access to the suit is neat.
I'm always glad to see stuff like this pop up in good condition. And good on the effort to display it in context. Still torn on the concept of one-of-a-kind museum pieces disappearing for decades in private hands - sometimes forever, but I also know there isn't museum space in the world for everything out there. So I guess (at least in this case) better here than rotting in a box in a warehouse. Would probably be prudent to get a quality 3d scan of the face casting before it cracks apart.
Absolutely incredible!!! 🖤thank you so much for sharing with all us Crow Fans!! It brings me absolute joy to see this piece of history being so well preserved.
As much as I'd LOVE to have it, it sounds like it's in wonderful hands. The hair clip... the gum... MAN that's touching stuff. Can't imagine how you must feel being in possession of such a treasure! Again, glad it's in loving hands!
wow, a real face molding of Brandon's face. imagine how his family must of felt to have seen it in person after his passing or going on set to finish the film and seeing the double with it on. it must of been painful for everyone. your friend was just their and now gone, but your mind is playing tricks on you because you know what your looking at. this should be in a museum. my god you got one of the coolest and should be most valuable possessions in movie history. the crow is one of the best movies i've ever seen. please take great care of this. i wonder if you guys ever thought of contacting his family to see if they wanted to look at this.
Are the boots also originals? Would love to hear about those as well.You did a tremendous job, thank you! Been a huge fan of Brandon's and The Crow since '93 and always will be. This was almost overwhelming to fully watch. May his spirit be thriving and smiling and giggling also that we love his costume so much :) P.s. have you thought of allowing "tours" to visit the costume? I'm sure fans like me (intense! Lol!) would love the chance
Sadly, none of the screenused boots have ever surfaced with the costumes, they did use Paratrooper Corcorans when Chad and Jeff were used as stand ins and for stunts
Amazing, I had never expected to see this in Original. The Moment with the hairclip and the chewing gum is really hard and gives goosebumbs. Over the Crow poster is a frame with white templatee (?) inside. What is that exactly ?
Awesome film I wondered how much did all of that cost you ? And one thing I and other didnt see was the description of the boots I believe they are British milatary boots
Awesome video..1 question..did you contact his stunt double to make sure the hair clip & gum wasn't his? I hope it was Brandon's but I definitely would've checked that if you already havent.
The fact you bought something of Brandon lees is awesome and the battle of you guys on who owns it instead of we both own it is funny but if you want to preserve something of that caliber it’s best to wear white gloves where if any dna of Brandon’s is on there you don’t taint it with your fingerprints which could effect the cost and value o the props. I own a full suit of keatons from the bell tower which is on a mannequin and in a temperature enclosed box and always handle with white gloves. Maybe think about that
The Crow, the story behind the film by Bridget Baiss. I finished reading it some days ago and I really recommend it, there's a lot of things I didn't know about the movie
I truly believe Michael Jackson’s look in Stranger in Moscow was an homage to Brandon Lee.. the video came out after the crow was released.. MJ was a huge Bruce Lee fan & must’ve been devastated when Brandon died. Very cool that Brandon’s outfit is with people who care.
Idk if y'all will see this comment but if u guys or any one else can tell me wouldn't there be 2 shirts he used in the movie because the one in this video has less holes than the shirt he wears at the end of the movie with tape wrapped around him.I do believed they had 2 shirts.
