I literally haven't seen that awful movie since 1996 or whenever it came out. Forgive me for paraphrasing.
WAY better, dumb in a place or two, as well. Also do not watch 4.

If i watch 3 i most definitly will watch 4. This thread reminded me i always wanted to watch them but never got around to it. I draw the line at watching the show, i hazily remember catching an episode on late night tv way back and thinking it was utter bullshit. Not watching the remake either as the trailer, once again, already shows the full movie and i did not like what i saw.
10-year-old me loved that scene, stop breaking my heart. Also, Brandon Lee was miles above that literal who protagonist in the second film and that's saying something.
Then watch 4 first, 3 is WAY better (even randos online agree), plus has a bonus of being indirectly based (source novel got all its shit scrubbed clean).
lol you watched another movie with Bruce Lee Son Dead Guy
Fuck that BEST Brandon Lee movie is Showdown in Little Tokyo with Dolph Lungren!
It's good too. If not for the godawful Laser Mission, he'd have a pretty good filmography. I haven't seen Kung Fu: The Movie but the finale of Legacy of Rage was pretty cool.
He would have ended up being an amazing martial artist and actor had he not signed up to be a brooding goth juggalo in a movie with some of the shittiest dialogue since the room. People will always put him on a pedestal for that gay movie which is literally his worst performance (although I can't fault him because half of the movie was a stuntman in a mask pretending to be him because he was already dead)
Funny you should mention execs. Apparently the movie was supposed to have a whole different story and plot, but got heavily re-shot, re-filmed cause Epstein got involved and he just wanted fo the director to make Crow 1 again.
I unironically love those movies and revisit all five of them every couple of years. They're stupid as shit, nonsensical as hell, and wildly entertaining. The movies are full of fun action sequences, blood n guts, great actors like Bill Nighy and Charles Dance chewing scenery, and Kate Beckinsale at her early-2000s pinnacle of hotness. What's not to love?
That's the problem. I'm assuming you and most of the people posting in this thread are about 40? You are looking at a shitty B movie that probably would have ended up straight to video at Blockbuster had Bruce's son not taking one for the team in his torso, but you're looking at it through the eyes of '90s nostalgia.
I don't think it's The Room-tier though, as it at least told a coherent story. It still is "Ow, the Edge - The Movie", it was the 90's after all, but after watching the second one it still at least had SOME work put in it in comparison. I don't hold The Crow as some hidden cinema gem that people just don't understand in my memory, it's not even anywhere near must-watch territory. All the more retarded they're making a remake.I am convinced of that.
Dude
Honestly, I just wonder if anyone remembers the other movies. Most I recall people talk about the 1st movie, maaaybe second..good luck with the remaining 3.
