Shouldn't the Crow template be placed at the bottom of this article?

Was it removed? If so why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kryptography (talk • contribs) 14:53, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Scene of Death

Did they keep the scene in which Lee is shot and killed in the film? 209.253.116.130 (talk) 23:50, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

No, it was done again with a body double. --89.182.24.101 (talk) 21:12, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

After the orginal film of the scene was reviewed by the authorites, in respects to Lee's family the film was destroyed. dixierosesc (talk) 04:32, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

yes, they did keep the scene. it was common knowledge when the film came out. after draven comes back to life, he returns to his former apartment. after he walks in, he has a flashback of his self getting shot. the entire flashback is colored red. this is the actual footage of brandon lee being shot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.241.138.32 (talk) 17:00, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

The film's theme tune: "Burn" or "Big Empty"?

What makes you guys think The Cure's "Burn" is The Crow's theme tune. The Pilots' "Big Empty" is often considered the true theme tune. -- 92.20.97.218 (talk) 17:02, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

The big empty is the "real" theme but no one cares and everyone accepts burn as the real theme. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.236.57.130 (talk) 13:17, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Overlinking

I have removed some wikilinks that constitute, in my opinion, overlinking. There is no need to link common words that a reader is unlikely to need to go to another article to get more information for. Having excessive wikilinks detracts from the usefulness of those wikilinks that should be there. One example is throws out of a window. Just because we have an article on defenestration doesn't mean that linking to it from this article is useful to the reader. People will understand the concept. Links should also not be repeated in close proximity. As an anonymous editor has been replacing these links, it would be helpful if he or she would discuss here why they think these links are necessary. Anyone else is welcome to comment/disagree of course... --Beloved Freak 15:11, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Should there be a section of the article for comparisons of the source material?

I'm asking this due to the fact many people who love the movie don't know there are differences and to inform people that there are differences within the story to possibly get them to check out the differences. I put this forward because I know there are more then one or two minor things, such as the character of the crow who talks to Eric in the comic and has varying opinions then Eric on a few things.-71.202.72.88 (talk) 02:15, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

That would be a good thing to include, bu only if it's discussed in indeprendent reliable sources, otherwise it would border on original research. Although it's a simple thing to point out what is in the comic but not the film, who are we to decide which bits are important enough to discuss? So, if you can find something in a reliable source that discusses some of the differences, then no problem.--Beloved Freak 07:55, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Category:Telepathy in fiction

The article mentions this 5 times using other reliable sources; that should be a reasonable amount of evidence the the inclusion of this category regardless of that I did not add those references. I should be able to add categories whenm it is readily apparent using a basic word count and having read the current wikipedia article it's self and seen it's references. If their an argument this film doesn't feature telepathy several times? Anything more than three seperate occurrences is a fair indication and this is 5.

Linking

What is the practice or policy of linking names etc in cinema articles since cast and crew can be included in an article and linked several times. Is there a practice that there be only one link per name and that the lede take precedence over box or cast/crew? Because if there is not a practice as to how many links there should be to reduce redundancy and provide readers with a strategy as to where if there is an article therefore a resulting link where it should be found.66.74.176.59 (talk) 17:23, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

WP:OVERLINK says, "Generally, a link should appear only once in an article, but if helpful for readers, links may be repeated in infoboxes, tables, image captions, footnotes, and at the first occurrence after the lead." So that means it is okay to provide links in the lead section, the film infobox, and in the "Cast" section. Hope that helps! Erik (talk | contrib) 17:38, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Changes to the plot

has any information on what they changed/removed ever been relased? like an orginal script or somthing. were the changed scens importent at all or just filler 73.38.65.48 (talk) 08:43, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Skull Cowboy

It would be great to mention him. There's a reference about the character. http://www.mtv.com/news/2595354/the-crow-15-years-of-devils-night-3/ (also a reference for a deleted scene with Funboy) HG (talk) 22:12, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Uncited material in need of citations

I am moving the following uncited material here until it can be properly supported with inline citations of reliable, secondary sources, per WP:V, WP:CS, WP:IRS, WP:PSTS, WP:BLP, WP:NOR, et al. This diff shows where it was in the article. Nightscream (talk) 19:59, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

However, they unknowingly left the live primer in place at the rear of the cartridge. At some point during filming, the revolver was apparently discharged with one of these improperly-deactivated cartridges in the chamber, setting off the primer with enough force to drive the bullet partway into the barrel, where it became stuck (a condition known as a squib load). The prop crew either failed to notice or failed to recognize the significance of this issue.
He was rushed to the New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, where he underwent six hours of surgery. However, attempts to save him were unsuccessful, and Lee was pronounced dead at 1:03 pm EST on March 31, 1993, at the age of 28. The shooting was ruled an accident.
