If Brandon died, how did they finish the movie?

When Lee died most of the movie had already been filmed. There were a couple of scenes where they used a body double, and digitally put Lee's face in, when required. The scenes are listed on imdb's trivia page for the movie . --SnakeSeries 21:30, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

This page, and every other "Crow" page needs to have The Crow: City of Angels (album) linked in the box on the right. I'd do it, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to edit that.71.124.15.219 03:21, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

The latest addition to the article refers to The Crow as a "Goth phenomenon". I don't think Goth is the right term for it. O'Barr, as far as I know, isn't in the goth culture, and this was made before goth was a part of pop culture. -- LGagnon

Well, back before it really had a name and a set 'look,' anyway. I was once informed that Eric was modeled on Peter Murphy (although the hair is more classic Daniel Ash), but I can't confirm this. Also, when did O'Barr first start working on The Crow in the first place? --Paul Soth 12:18, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

It's correct as it is - the look, feel, and music that influenced the comic was Goth, but early 80's goth - not the commercial "goth" that was revived in the 90's. Joy Division and The Cure were two heavy influences in O'Barr's work, and he has said as much. Those two bands tipify the early goth scene. 80.177.0.2 02:27, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't there be seperate articles for the comic book and for the movie? --Fritz Saalfeld 09:40, May 29, 2005 (UTC)

Agreed and done. violet/riga (t) 11:02, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Plot

Now that the comic and film have seperate articles, we should tidy up the Plot synonsis for both articles to reflect the individual stories. -- LGagnon 16:48, May 29, 2005 (UTC) And this was how it happened

Yes it seems kind of confusing now. Or at lest redirect them. TearAwayTheFunerealDress 15:33, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

What was the budget for this movie?

Brandon Lee lived right down the street from me while they were filming this movie. He was really good friends with my parents. TearAwayTheFunerealDress 15:34, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Some effort to discuss the symbolism and esoteric aspects of the film should be made, such as the significance of the angels alluded to, or the symbols disguised as graffiti.

Does anyone know the name of the band in the movie that plays before introducing the two kingpins because i really need to know who and what the name of that song is.

The one that plays live? Medicine. Tarc 04:43, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

As I understand it, the symbols disguised as grafitti come from the White wolf game Mage:_The_Ascension (they are the symbols representing the nine spheres of magick). Originally, the symbols were taken from old alchemical texts (according to White Wolf itself). Apparently, one of the set dressers was a fan of the game, which was relatively new at the time. This information came, as I recall, from Fangoria magazine around the time of Lee's death and before the release of the film, but I don't have an actual citation for it. -- Gregordyne 05:43, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

DVD details

I think we should include details for the Collector's DVD edition of this movie that included a Brandon Lee interview and some deleted scenes as well.

Put the cover on the dvd as well. Get the US version. The current one is ugly. maybe find a movie poster.--D-Boy 04:08, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I think the DVD cover is fine in my opinion. (Shakirfan 16:21, 10 July 2006 (UTC))

I'm with D-Boy. The orange British version is awful (I see they're using a similar version at IMDb, too). The black poster with Lee in a white column of light is by far the best, although the gray crow image wouldn't be bad, either. --WWB 18:57, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I posted that Brandon Lee's death did not occur during the scenes where he get's shot in the apartment! I dont know why this was deleted as it is a stated fact by detectives which worked the case. The shot that was filming was the pawn shop sequence. I named my source as 'the best of unsolved mysteries' disc 2 episode 2. The program includes the detectives and Brandon Lee's mother..it is accurate as the death info written in the main article is false. stv

That contradicts every other source that details it happening during the loft/rape sequence. Plus, it was Michael Massee (Funboy) who fired the shot, and he was definitely not in the pawn shop scene with Lee. Not sure how your source gets around that one.

Until something conclusive is produced, this should be reverted. Tarc 18:32, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
