The Crow Is Finally Getting The Upgrade It Desperately Needs

Publish date: 2024-05-04

A young rock guitarist, Eric Dravan (played by Lee), is at the center of The Crow (the film is itself based on the comic both written and drawn by James O’Barr). The movie begins with the brutal murder of Draven and his fiancée by a gang of savage criminals. However, unfortunately for the murderers, Draven is resurrected by an enigmatic crow, returning from beyond the grave to exact his revenge. 

Tragically, the role would be Brandon Lee’s last. The actor was fatally injured on set in a devastating accident. 

The original film’s production was, of course, marred by tragedy–the untimely death of Brandon Lee. Son of martial arts legend Bruce Lee, Brandon Lee was fatally wounded by a prop gun on set. The horrendous incident cast a shadow over the film, lending it an aura of melancholy.

Lee’s performance in The Crow electrifies, viscerally conveying Draven’s pain and rage.
