The Crow is a franchise beloved by countless fans across the globe. When the first installation of The Crow came out after the tragic on-set accident involving Brandon Lee, the character took on a cult like status. Adapted from the comic series by Frank Miller, the Crow was not a film fans saw being sequalized to the degree it has been. With each itteration being worse than the last, fans everywhere are wondering if the new 2024 reboot of The Crow will break the streak, or prove once and for all that you can not recast The Crow.

Brandon Lee is the sexiest goth to ever live, and you also have Micheal Wincott killing it as Top Dollar. The original is full of mourning and feels romantic. Everything since is a revenge fantasy. The Crow isn't about revenge. it's about loss

In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words. 14 *The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.* 15 The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, 16 for, “Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ. You have the mind of the world, not of Christ, so you are unable to understand the Word of God unless you repent, put your faith in Jesus Christ, God the Son, and receive the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 3:15-16 15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. *His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction* 2 Peter 2:1-3 1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, *even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.* 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; *by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.* 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. Hebrews 1:8 But of *the Son* he says, *“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,* the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom. Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Matthew 1:23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). Isaiah 44:6 Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: *“I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god.* Acts 1: 9-11 9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, *and a cloud hid him from their sight.* 10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? *This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”* Revelation 1:7-8 7 *“Look, he is coming with the clouds,”* and “every eye will see him, even those who pierced him”; and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.” So shall it be! Amen. 8 *“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”* Revelation 22:12-13 12 “Behold, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done. 13 *I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”*

Romans 2:5-8 5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. 6 God “will repay each person according to what they have done. 7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. Daniel 12:2-3 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, *some to everlasting life,* and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. 1 Corinthians 15:50-58 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, *and this mortal shall have put on immortality,* then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

The constant focus on Brandon Lee, while deserved, makes everyone fall short of understanding The Crow's success. Realistically, you can't name one single character in that film that the actor didn't give an S+ performance. Not only can you not replace BL, but think about the rest. Have you _ever_ seen another villain like Michael Wincott's Top Dollar? Or a gang of thugs with the deplorable depth of character as T-Bird, Tin Tin, Funboy, and Skank? How about the heartfelt humanity of Ernie Hudson's Detective Albrecht? The minor characters are perfect as well. Sara and Darla's strained mother/daughter relationship is heavy and important. Gideon is the most convincing scumbag pawn broker I have ever seen. Right down to the hot dog vendor and Darla's boss, everyone nails their parts, and together they didn't just create a movie. That city is a living world that exists within our imagination the exact same way Gotham does, and it took all of the actors to do that, not just Brandon.

I got to see a showing of The Crow at my local cinema for the 30th anniversary and it was amazing. It was like watching it for the 1st time all over again. There’s so much about the film that makes you realise that no modern day film could successfully try and do. A long haired rocker with gothic make up, carrying an electric guitar while committing his revenge. Then he plays his guitar out loud on a rooftop, amp and all! This film screams 90’s and could never be done again while being taken seriously. Although I was a kid in the 90’s this movie just takes me back.

What's funny is, the movie does leave room for sequels and prequels. The entire poem is "and sometimes, just sometimes the crow brings that person back to right the wrongs." With the Crow... Everything and everyone has to connect. The death of the person that brings about The Crow should be a person that impacts everyones. Look at the movie. Draven dies, by the thugs of Top Dollar. By a police officer hunting Top Dollar. One of the thugs is dating the mother of the little girl Crow spends his time around. This is your cast... and everyone is connected. Everyone is crucial to the story. That's where the emotion comes from, not senseless action and cool zombie powers.

The pain and hope is what made the original crow special. Literally, the line "Can't rain all the time" sums up the movie perfectly. I think that most filmmakers want to recreate the revenge story but completely miss on the rest. They lean too much into the revenge because they feel it is the easiest portion of the story to create. If they went in thinking love story and drama first, then sprinkle in the revenge, they could possibly pull it off. I also think that most movie goers did/do not realize that "The Crow" can be anyone. They have the expectation for it to be the same person over and over (not their fault, the movie does a bad job at explaining that and traditional sequels force the same character into the same situation over and over) so they are disappointed with the new person automatically.

"Victims. Aren't we all?" The Crow is not just some comic book property. It is a love story. The most beautifully tragic one of all. Every time i watch it, it breaks my heart. It can not be replecated. Bansky, the street artist, would never try to replicate Rembrandt's masterworks, or Van Gogh's Poppyfields. Predictions: I stay at home and weep watching Brandon Lee's magnum opus. The remake will crash and burn upon arrival.

I'll leave a quote below which has stuck with me over the years since the original's films release. "Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything only happens a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood. An afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it, perhaps four or five times more? Perhaps not even that. How many times will you watch the moon rise? Perhaps 20? And yet it all seems limitless." Brandon Lee in one of his final interviews quoting Paul Bowles.

“The Crow” doesn’t need fixing, it’s perfect the way it is. The idea of it NEEDING to be a franchise does need to be fixed IE forgotten. It’s okay to have one good story. Not everything wants or needs a sequel or remake. Sometimes a story is perfect as is, and when you meddle with perfection you can’t make it more perfect - you can only detract or muddle the perfection already there. The Crow is a gem of graphic novels and cinema, but its story is told. If someone wants to enjoy either, you can read or watch them as they are.

Huge fan of the comics here (I have them all, the originals and the sequels) and for many years this adaptation was my favourite movie, even though it has a major mistake on the plot regarding its source (I still see it every October 30th) Also, I loved Brandon Lee, have all his movies and I was very sad hearing of his death... A reboot is disgusting! In one of the comic sequels called "Flesh and Blood", there's the story of Iris, a pregnant police woman who the crow brings back to get revenge for her and her unborn child. I've always found that story very interesting. As many say, The Crow stories are about lost love, not really about the violent revenge. They have many stories to try, I don't understand why they use Eric's again and again... Thank you for your video! Greetings from Barcelona, Spain! 😘

My mom asked me what it is about, and the first thing i said, "It's a true romance story." My little brother agreed. Eric Draven is very much in love with his life partner he was about to marry before that fatal night. Even in death, when he comes back, it's his love that drives him to kill for his love as the ultimate gift for them both to finally achieve peace in death and the side story, of the little girl they cared for, finally receives her mother's love.

This remaking of the crow had all the potential to be great but once again it's a case of a director or producer or whoever thinking they know better than the source material. It's their job to bring it to life in an authentic manner. Isn't that the reason they acquire the property in the first place? The built in fan base? The love for the original comic/movie. So why alter it in a drastic manner? Do the make up in its original way, don't try to improve it or update it. Bill would have looked so badass in with that Mick Mars mullet from the original comic. The Proyas/Lee version is iconic because it honored the source material. Lee was a fan of the comic. His passion for the original comic made his performance iconic. R.I.P. BRANDON

Ed Pressman is a hack who has desperately wanted to remake this for years just for money. F him. The Crow is a perfect film and the story doesn’t need sequels or remakes. That’s what makes it beautiful. His love is so strong, it brought him back to avenge his loved one

My first introduction to the character was actually the tv show when I was 6 and I was absolutely mesmerised by the concept, the aesthetic and Mark Dacascos' performance. Later on I caught City of Angels on tv and thought it had nothing to do with what was 'the original' in my head (Stairway to Heaven😅) so I didn't pay much attention to it. I was about 17 or maybe even 18 when I saw the actual Brandon Lee 1994 The Crow movie and at this point I already considered myself familiar with and a fan of the whole concept of what the crow was. However, even so the movie seemed more refined than anything I'd seen thus far and other than the dated music that ages it (yes I know they're classics) I think it still pretty much holds up.

"Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four, or five times more? Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless..." This quote comes from the novel The Sheltering Sky. Brandon quoted it in a BTS interview, he had printed it on its wedding invitations as he was engaged during The Crow's production, and it would eventually be carved on his tombstone, next to his father's. This quote speaks volumes as to where Brandon's head was at while playing Eric Draven, and I believe is a reason why his performance worked so well. All of the emotions resonated with him on a present personal level, which gave the performance an authenticity that nothing ever has, and ever will, come close to again.

I'll forever believe that The Crow: City of Angels would have a historic, Blade Runner-esque turnaround in peoples eyes if the true director's cut ever gets released. The film was supposed to be two and a half hours, but was cut and rearranged beyond comprehension by the Weinsteins. I genuinely love the film, though I view it with the context of all that was taken from it (GoodBadFlicks did a fantastic breakdown of all the deleted footage and ways it was intentionally changed by the out of touch producers to be more akin to the original).

Performance wise, everyone is giving their all. However after rewatching this recently, i was let down by the editing of the film. While a movie had to be cut around what footage there was of Brandon Lee, the story's pacing was all over the shop. Back in 1994 I would have given this a solid 10... Nowadays its a 7 at best.

Loved the original. Saw it in a shitty Canon cinema in the West End of London, Piccadilly Circus, the first week. Think it may have been one of the cinemas used in American Werewolf in London. 4 people in screening, including a pissed tramp that walked into the screen, before finding a seat. As soon as the film started i was taken away.... Brandon Lee was great. So were the supporting cast. Best Villains ever. This is one reboot emake that should have been left in development hell!!

This was a fun video. I love the Crow and I loved Brandon Lee... I thought he was just starting and showed a lot of promise and charisma. I feel its not that they can't make another good one...they do not want to... Like the best version they could make would be a direct port of the source material... But they want it darker or grittier or something...and that messes it up. When the new trailer showed I was hopeful they di something fresh but the trailer revealed that it was even more derivative. Good video Laters.

It's always easier to write a good story the first time, when there is no pressure to imitate the existing successful product. The Crow was more affected than most by the replacement of story with atmosphere. But it's a very common problem: see the Star Wars movies other than Episodes 4 & 5...

In my eye, there have been two successful remaking of the Crow Eric Draven character... Sting in WCW, and the Joker in the Dark Knight. All others were bad, and I have no hope for the new one coming out. Brandon is the only actual "Eric Draven" of any worth. I think mostly because, everyone else is trying to be "the Crow", Brandon was trying to portray someone in an impossible amount of grief while still being someone who would offer hope to those that needed it.

Prop gun malfunction? The armorer made dummy bullets out of real .44 rounds. In so doing he left gunpowder in the brass and failed to remove the primers effectively. When they used those homemade dummy bullets on set, one went off and killed Lee. There was no malfunction.

Brandon Lee did for the Crow like what Heath Ledger did for the Joker. I can’t see anybody else in that role and that will be the problem. Sometimes a character will take on the actor instead of the actor taking on the character. I don’t think the reboot will do well. Not because of the actor but nostalgia is hard to get passed.

I remember liking The Crow: Stairway to Heaven. Then again, I was a goofy teenager at the time and my tastes have grown up. Hollywood really is out of ideas. They can't take chances anymore. The Crow was a huge risk, especially after the death of Brandon Lee, but it paid off. So, Hollywood being Hollywood decided to just keep trying to milk that concept to death. Can't they just let art be art?
