The Crow is a 1994 American supernatural action film directed by Alex Proyas, written by David J. Schow and John Shirley, and starring Brandon Lee, in his final film appearance. It was based on the 1989 comic book of the same name by James O'Barr, and tells the story of Eric Draven (Lee), a rock musician who is revived from the dead to avenge the murders of himself and his fiancée.

Lee was accidentally killed during filming, and The Crow was consequentially his last film. Unfinished scenes that were to feature Lee were dealt with by rewrites and digital special effects, allowing for the film to be finished. The Crow was dedicated to Lee and his fiancée, Eliza.

The film opened at the top of the box office and was a critical and commercial success. It also achieved a strong cult status.[citation needed]

Plot

On October 30, during the annual Devil's Night crime spree in the city of Detroit, Michigan, Sergeant Albrecht (Ernie Hudson) is at the scene of a crime, where Shelly Webster (Sofia Shinas) has been beaten and violated, and her fiancé, guitarist Eric Draven (Brandon Lee), has been stabbed, shot, and thrown out of the window. The couple were to be married the next day, on Halloween. As he leaves for the hospital with Shelly, Albrecht meets a young girl, Sarah (Rochelle Davis), whom Shelly and Eric cared for due to her mother, Darla (Anna Levine) being a negligent drug addict who works as a waitress for one of the criminals who killed Eric and Shelly. Shelly pleads to Albrecht to tell Eric to take care of Sarah, Albrecht tells her everything will be okay and tells Sarah that Shelly will be fine, but Sarah knows that Shelly will later die.

A year passes since the tragic events, Sarah visits Eric and Shelly's graves and leaves flowers. As she leaves the cemetery, a crow swoops down and lands on Eric's headstone and taps it as if to wake Eric. Later that night, Eric awakens from death and climbs frantically out of his grave, trembling and wracked with convulsions. Eric follows the crow through the streets of Detroit and finds some boots in a dumpster for him to wear. Eric is led to his old apartment and finds it derelict. He is met by his cat Gabriel who is still alive and remembers his old master. He goes into flashbacks of his death, remembering that he and Shelly were murdered by local thugs T-Bird (David Patrick Kelly), Tin-Tin (Laurence Mason), Funboy (Michael Massee), and Skank (Angel David), all of who work for a notorious gang boss named Top Dollar (Michael Wincott). Eric swings out the window he was thrown out of, piercing his hands on shards of glass. He sees his wounds regenerate and close, discovering that any wounds he suffers heal immediately, and that he, being dead, is now immune to physical harm. He then replaces his burial clothes with dark, imposing attire, and paints his face in a parody of a porcelain harlequin mask, decorating his lips and eyes with black, scar-like slashes. Guided by the crow, he sets out to avenge his and Shelly's deaths.

The crow helps Eric locate Tin-Tin as he leaves Gideons Pawn shop. Eric finds out that he can see what the crow sees telepathically. They engage in a one-on-one alley fight, to the point that Eric tires Tin-Tin to tell him what he did to them a year ago prior. After telling Eric what he did, Tin-Tin then throws knives at Eric to which he dodges. He catches one in mid air and launches it back at Tin-Tin, impaling him while commenting "Victims! Aren't we all?" He then kills Tin-Tin with all of his other knives. Eric takes Tin-Tin's coat, leaving a large crow-shaped bloodstain on the wall of the alley as his Calling Card. He then goes to Gideon's pawn shop where Tin-Tin pawned Shelly's engagement ring the year before. Eric forces his way into the shop saying a verse from Edgar Alan Poe's "The Raven", and asks to see an engagement ring gold in color. The owner, Gideon (Jon Polito), shoots Eric in the chest with his revolver and is shocked and frightened when the wound heals. Eric then forces Gideon to return the ring and interrogates him to locate the place of Tin-Tin's associates. Gideon tells him that they hang out at a bar called The Pit and that Funboy lives upstairs. Eric gets a flashback to what Funboy did to Shelly. He starts throwing rings at Gideon, telling him that each one is a life that helped destroy. Gideon pleads for his life, and Eric lets him live to tell the rest of them that death is coming for them. After he leaves, he blows up the shop with a pistol grip shotgun front-loaded with stolen rings fired into a puddle of spilled gasoline, Gideon managing to leave at the last second.

Eric meets Sgt. Albrecht at the scene of the explosion. Eric calls out his name which surprises Albrecht, who doesn't remember who he is. Eric asks if he knows Shelly Webster. Albrecht answers that she is dead and tells him to sit at the curb nervously, hesitant in arresting him. He turns away distracted by looters and Eric vanishes.

Sarah, still frustrated at her mother Darla for neglecting her, leaves The Pit on her skateboard and is nearly hit by a passing taxi when she is saved by Eric. He gets a flashback of who she is and looks away. Sarah, somewhat thankful for his actions, comments on how it would stop raining just for a day. Eric comments "It can't rain all the time" and disappears; Sarah recognizes the phrases and who said it and is left alone as she looks around.

Eric finds Funboy getting high on morphine in an apartment with Darla. The crow flies in and gives Eric a better view. Eric climbs in and surprises Funboy, who in turn, tells him to leave - with his bird - at gunpoint. Eric places his hand on the barrel, and Funboy shoots him in the hand and watches in shock as the wound closes up before his eyes. Eric then disarms him and shoots him in the thigh. Eric then places Funboy in the tub in a cold shower to wake him all the while he is shown the actions of that night of what Funboy did to Shelly. He then confronts a hysterical Darla, grabbing her arm and showing her the reflection of her track marks in the mirror as the morphine pushes its way back out of her arm. Eric tells her in a spiritual way to quit drugs in order to be a good mother to Sarah and to go to her. Seeing Darla fleeing the bar, Grange (Tony Todd) goes upstairs to investigate, finding Funboy lying on the floor and dying from multiple syringes stabbed into his chest. Grange then sees Eric go out the window, disappearing into the night.

Eric later visits Albrecht at his apartment. Eric asks about what had had happened to them. Albrecht tells him that he fell out a 6th story window and that Shelly was brutally beaten and raped. He stood by her side and watched as Shelly suffered for 30 hours before dying, and that he was demoted for asking too many questions about the crime. Eric touches Albrecht's face, and all the pain and memories of Shelly's death are transferred to Eric. Albrecht explains that he was hoping she would come out of her coma so he could get more information about the suspects that did this to her. He gives his condolences to Eric for what had happened to him and his fiance as Eric walks out the front door.

Meanwhile, Gideon goes to meet with Top Dollar and explains to him how his shop burned down and what happened to him. Top Dollar doesn't believe a word that is being told and thinks Gideon is making it all up, so he kills him by stabbing him in the throat with a rapier and shoots him with Grange's gun.

As T-Bird and Skank stop at a convenience store to get some supplies, Eric arrives and kidnaps T-Bird, ensuing a high speed pursuit with police through the streets of Detroit. Skank follows the pair in a (Yugo) he carjacked and gets injured when he is hit by the pursuing police car. Eric drives T-Bird to the docks and duct tapes him to his driver's seat and informs him what he did. T-Bird then remembers who he is, telling him that it's impossible because he's dead. Frightened by what's going to happen, T-Bird tries to repent but Eric rigs his foot accelerator and the gear is set on drive. Skank sees T-Bird and his car as it explodes in mid-air after it flies off the pier, killing T-Bird. Eric leaves a fiery symbol in the shape of a crow burning at the scene.

The next morning, Sarah and Darla begin to repair their relationship. Later that day, Eric begins to burn all memories of their passed lives by burning all photo's of him and Shelly. Sarah goes to Eric and Shelly's old apartment and tells him that she misses him and Shelly. Eric explains that, although he cannot be friends with her anymore for he is now dead, he still cares for her and has her take care of their cat Gabriel. Meanwhile, Top Dollar and his lover and half-sister Myca (Bai Ling) have become aware of Eric's actions through various reports from witnesses, including Skank. He holds a meeting with his associates where they discuss new plans for their annual Devil's Night crime spree. Eric arrives at the meeting, looking for Skank. Top Dollar orders his men to shoot Eric, and a massive gunfight ensues. Top Dollar escapes with Myca and Grange, while Eric systematically kills everyone in the room, throwing Skank out of a window to his death. As the police arrive due to the commotion, Eric escapes with help from Albrecht and soon leaves his car to head to the cemetery.

Now having finished his quest, Eric returns to his grave where he sees Sarah. She says goodbye to him and he gives her Shelly's engagement ring. She is then abducted by Grange, who takes her into a nearby church where Top Dollar and Myca are waiting. Through the crow, Eric realizes what has happened and goes to the church to rescue her. Grange shoots the crow as it flies into the church, causing Eric to lose his immortality. Just after Top Dollar shoots and wounds Eric, Albrecht arrives, intending to pay his respects to Eric, and a shootout ensues in which Grange is killed. Myca then grabs the wounded crow, intending to take its mystical power. Top Dollar ties Sarah up and climbs the bell tower with Myca. Albrecht and Eric approach the stairs, and Myca fires down at them, wounding Albrecht.

Eric climbs to the roof of the church on his own. On the way up, he encounters Myca, who tells him that all of the power that he ever had will soon be hers. However, just before she is about to shoot Eric, the crow escapes Myca's grip and pecks out her eyes, causing her to fall down the bell tower to her death while a wounded Albrecht watches. Eric reaches the roof of the church and fights Top Dollar; due to his weakened condition, Eric is defeated by his foe. While Eric is down, Top Dollar admits ultimate responsibility for what happened to Eric and Shelly. He is about to deal a fatal blow to Eric, Eric, in turn lunges forward and gives him the 30 hours of pain that Shelly suffered by squeezing his eyes in with his thumbs. The power overwhelms Top Dollar and sends him falling off the roof of the church to be fatally impaled on the horns of a gargoyle. Eric saves Sarah and goes to check on Albrecht. Eric tells Sarah to stay with Albrecht until help arrives. Eric makes his way to Shelly's grave (which is next to his). As he begins to succumb to his injuries, he is approached by Shelly's spirit to reunite once again in death, knowing now that both will be able to rest in peace.

Sarah pays a final visit to the cemetery, and sees that both Eric and Shelly's graves now lie undisturbed. The crow, perched on Eric's headstone, gives her Shelly's engagement ring, dropping it in her open hand before soaring over the city and into the night.

Cast

Death of Brandon Lee

Brandon Lee sustained an accidental gunshot wound on the set of the film at EUE Screen Gems Studios in Wilmington, North Carolina, on March 31, 1993. He was taken to an area hospital, where he later died. There were eight days left before shooting of the film was to be completed. The scenes involving Lee and Sofia Shinas' characters in their apartment had been saved for the end of filming so that Lee could work the final week without makeup.[3] In the story, Lee's character Eric Draven comes home to find a gang of thugs raping his girlfriend, and he is shot and killed by Michael Massee's character Funboy.

Weeks prior to the event, a scene had been filmed that required shells to be shown being loaded into the handgun. Rather than using dummy rounds, inexperienced crew members, pressured by time constraints, purchased live ammunition, removed the bullets, dumped the gunpowder, and then replaced the bullets back into the empty cartridges with the live primers still in place.[3][4] Unbeknownst to the crew, the bullet from one of the rounds became lodged in the barrel of the gun. It is believed that someone on set was playing with the gun, pulled the trigger and inadvertently caused the live primer to fire; this would have resulted in the bullet moving a couple of inches into the barrel of the gun (known as a "squib"-type misfire).

When the time came to film the scene where Funboy shoots Eric, the same gun was loaded with blank cartridges. As the production company had sent the firearms specialist home early, responsibility for the guns was given to a prop assistant who was not aware of the rule for checking all firearms before and after any handling. Therefore, the barrel was not checked for obstructions when it came time to load it with the blank rounds.[3][4] When the gun was fired, the propellant in the blank round – which is used to give the visible effect of a gunshot – dislodged the bullet and propelled it through Lee's abdomen and into his spine, where it lodged. The injury caused massive blood loss.

Soon after the accident, Lee was taken to the New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, where he died about 12 hours later, at 1:04 p.m. After Lee's death, the producers were faced with the decision of whether or not to continue with the film. Sofia Shinas, who had witnessed the accident, did not want to continue and went home to Los Angeles. The rest of the cast and crew, except for Ernie Hudson, whose brother-in-law had just died, stayed in Wilmington. Paramount, who were initially interested in distributing The Crow theatrically (originally a direct-to-video feature), opted out of involvement due to delays in filming and some controversy over the violent content being inappropriate given Lee's death. However, Miramax picked it up with the intention of releasing it in theatres and injected a further $8 million to complete the production, taking its budget to approximately $23 million.[2] The cast and crew then took a break for script rewrites of the flashback scenes that had yet to be completed.[3]

Reception

Critics

The Crow was well received by critics; review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes gives it a "fresh" rating of 82% based on 50 reviews. Reviewers praised the action and visual style.[5][6] Rolling Stone called it a "dazzling fever dream of a movie", Caryn James writing for The New York Times called it "a genre film of a high order, stylish and smooth", and Roger Ebert called it "a stunning work of visual style".[6][7][8] The Los Angeles Times praised the movie also.[9][10]

Lee's death was alleged to have a melancholy effect on viewers; Desson Howe of The Washington Post wrote that Lee "haunts every frame" and James Berardinelli called the film "a case of 'art imitating death', and that specter will always hang over The Crow".[5][6][11] Berardinelli called it an appropriate epitaph to Lee, Howe called it an appropriate sendoff, and Ebert stated that not only was this Lee's best film, but it was better than any of his father's (Bruce Lee).[5][6][11] Critics generally thought that this would have been a breakthrough film for Lee, although James disagreed.[6][8][12] The changes made to the film after Lee's death were noted by reviewers, most of whom saw them as an improvement. Howe said that it had been transformed into something compelling.[5] James, although terming it a genre film, said that it had become more mainstream because of the changes.[8]

The film was widely compared to other films, particularly Tim Burton's Batman movies and Blade Runner.[11][12] Critics described The Crow as a darker film than the others;[8] Ebert called it a grungier and more forbidding story than those of Batman and Blade Runner, and Todd McCarthy of Variety wrote that the generic inner city of Detroit portrayed in The Crow "makes Gotham City look like the Emerald City".[12]

The distinctive features of the film for most critics were the fast-paced action and visual style. The cinematography by Dariusz Wolski and the production design by Alex McDowell were praised. While the plot and characterization were found to be lacking,[5][8][12] these faults were considered to be overcome by the action and visual style.[6][11] The cityscape designed by McDowell and the production team was described by McCarthy as rendered imaginatively.[12] The film's comic book origins were noted, and Ebert called it the best version of a comic book universe he had seen.[6] McCarthy agreed, calling it "one of the most effective live-actioners ever derived from a comic strip".[12] Critics felt that the soundtrack complemented this visual style, calling it blistering, edgy and boisterous.[5][7][12] Graeme Revell was praised for his "moody" score;[12] Howe said that it "drapes the story in a postmodern pall."[5]

Negative reviews of the film were generally similar in theme to the positive ones but said that the interesting and "OK" special effects did not make up for the "superficial" plot, "badly-written" screenplay and "one-dimensional" characters.[13][14]

The Crow is mentioned in Empire's 2008 list of the 500 greatest movies of all time; it ranked at number 468.[15]

Box office

The film grossed $50,693,129 in the United States, $94,000,000 worldwide. In the United States, it opened at No. 1 with $11,774,332 in its opening weekend.[16] According to Box Office Mojo, it ranked at 24 for all films released in the US in 1994 and 10 for R-rated films released that year.[17]

Awards

In 1995, Graeme Revell won a BMI film music award for his score and the Stone Temple Pilots won the MTV Movie Award for Best Song for "Big Empty".[18] Also at the MTV Movie Awards, the film was nominated for Best Film, and Brandon Lee was nominated for Best Male Performance.[18] The film received four Saturn Award nominations from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA, for Best Costumes, Best Director, Best Horror film and Best Special Effects.

Soundtracks

Main article: The Crow (soundtrack)

The original soundtrack album for The Crow features songs from the film, and was a chart-topping album. It included work by The Cure (their song, "Burn", became the film's main theme), The Jesus and Mary Chain, Rage Against the Machine, and Helmet, among many others.

Several groups contributed covers. Nine Inch Nails rendered Joy Division's "Dead Souls", Rollins Band covered Suicide's "Ghost Rider", and Pantera performed Poison Idea's "The Badge". The song "Big Empty" was not the Stone Temple Pilots' original choice for the soundtrack. They first recorded a version of "Only Dying", which they had recorded earlier as Mighty Joe Young in demo form, but it was replaced following Lee's death.[19]

The bands Medicine and My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult make cameo appearances in the film, on stage in the nightclub below Top Dollar's headquarters.

The Crow: Original Motion Picture Score consists of original, mostly orchestral music, with some electronic and guitar elements, written for the film by Graeme Revell.

Sequels

In 1996, a sequel was released, called The Crow: City of Angels. In this movie, Vincent Pérez plays Ashe Corven, who, along with his son Danny, is killed by criminals. Ashe is resurrected as a new Crow. The character of Sarah (Mia Kirshner) reappears in this film and assists Ashe.[20] The film was followed by a television series and two direct-to-video sequels, each with a different person as The Crow.

The Crow: Stairway to Heaven was a 1998 Canadian television series created by Bryce Zabel and starring Mark Dacascos in the lead role as Eric Draven, reprising the role originally played by Brandon Lee.

The second sequel, The Crow: Salvation, was released in 2000. Directed by Bharat Nalluri, it stars Eric Mabius, Kirsten Dunst, Fred Ward, Jodi Lyn O'Keefe and William Atherton. It is loosely based on Poppy Z. Brite's novel The Lazarus Heart. After its distributor cancelled the intended theatrical release due to The Crow: City of Angels receiving negative critical reception, The Crow: Salvation was released directly to video with mixed reviews.

The third sequel, The Crow: Wicked Prayer, was released in 2005. Directed by Lance Mungia, it stars Edward Furlong, David Boreanaz, Tara Reid, Tito Ortiz, Dennis Hopper, Emmanuelle Chriqui and Danny Trejo. It was inspired by Norman Partridge's novel of the same title. It had a one-week theatrical première on June 3, 2005, at AMC Pacific Place Theatre in Seattle, Washington, before being released to video on July 19, 2005. Like the other sequels to the cult movie, it had a poor critical reception, and it was considered the worst of the four films.

Reboot

On December 14, 2008, Stephen Norrington announced in Variety that he planned to write and direct a "reinvention" of The Crow. Norrington distinguished between the original and his remake: "Whereas Proyas' original was gloriously gothic and stylized, the new movie will be realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary-style."[21] Ryan Kavanaugh's Relativity Media is currently negotiating with Edward R. Pressman for both the film's rights and financing.[22]

Norrington later stepped out of the project and, on April 7, 2011, it was announced that 28 Weeks Later director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo had been chosen to direct the film, which has since been regarded as a reboot. Relativity Media's Tooley will serve as executive producer, while Jose Ibanez, Jon Katz and Jesus de la Vega will serve as co-producers. Bradley Cooper was in talks to play the lead.[23] It was reported on April 20, 2011, that the project is undergoing some legal battles.[24] In late June 2011, Relativity Media announced their plans to continue in mid-lawsuit and had tapped Alex Tse, who co-wrote the film adaptation of Watchmen.[25] In mid-August 2011, it was announced that Cooper had dropped out due to scheduling difficulties and Mark Wahlberg, who was originally in talks for the lead in 2010, is up for the part, with additional rumors of Channing Tatum or Ryan Gosling possibly taking the role, as well James McAvoy.[26][27][28] In October 2011 it was reported that Fresnadillo had departed the project as well.[29] It was confirmed in January 2012 that Francisco Javier Gutiérrez had signed on to direct the remake,[30] with Edward R. Pressman and Jeff Most on producing duties. On April 1, 2012, it was announced as an April Fools' joke that Skrillex was going to be starring as Eric.[31]

According to Edward R. Pressman, "The original 1994 Crow film holds a special place in my heart. The current film is a 'reinvention' of James O'Barr's graphic novel for the 21st century. We're thrilled to have teamed with director Javier Gutiérrez and screenwriter Jesse Wigutow on this story, which remains true to the core of Eric Draven's plight for revenge. Giving too much away wouldn't be any fun. 'Disorder, chaos, anarchy — now that's fun!'".[32]

On the news of future remakes, O'Barr stated, "[...] I don't have great expectations. I think the reality is, no matter who you get to star in it, or if you get Ridley Scott to direct it and spend 200 million dollars, you're still not gonna top what Brandon Lee and Alex Proyas did in that first ten million dollar movie."[33] On April 19, 2013, it was announced that Tom Hiddleston is in talks to play Eric.[34] That same month, there were reports that Hiddleston is not doing the film but Alexander Skarsgård is being eyed for the part. A week later Skarsgård said he's not attached to the film.[35][36]

On May 4, 2013, Deadline report that Luke Evans is cast as Eric Draven. [37] Evans revealed to Superhero Hype that the film is the same from the original.[38] On July 3, 2013, the Crow's creator James O’Barr is name as the consultant of the film.[39]

Home video

First released onto VHS in 1994. On October 18, 2011, The Crow was released on Blu-ray. The consensus among high-definition enthusiast sites is that the video and audio quality are excellent.[40]
