Crow, The - BLU-RAY Version (1993)

A customer from Southampton, England , 05/11/2007

Though this film was the cause of the death of Brandon Lee it is excellently made and has all the hallmarks of martial arts and gunslinging.

There are a few extras on the disc and one called deleted scenes is a sort of montage of the humour of Brandon Lee on set.

All in all a good watch. But not for the faint of heart.

This has to be one of my all time faves. It's a tale of romance! - played out as a gothic horror/revenge movie. I love the clear cut right and wrong in it - the black and white justice. There are no mitigating circumstances to consider in this world.

Eric Draven is brutally murdered along with this girlfriend the night before Halloween. The perpatrators are free to brutalize the city as they see fit. A year later however, Draven is risen from the grave and accompanied and assisted by a mysterious crow.

This film is black in it's tone and visuals which look awesome on bluray. The soundtrack is ful of grungy nineties rock and fits the story exactly. Some great performances from Michael Wincott and Ernie Hudson. The guy who plays the seedy pawn shop owner was also good. Some other performances can be a touch wooden. Brandon Lee is no Laurence Olivier but his passion and belief in the story carry him through. Great quotable dialouge throughout.

'what happened to you and your girlfriend.... I cleared that building, hell nothing happens in this town without my say so. So I'm sorry if I spoiled you wedding plans there friend.... but if it's any consolation to ya.... you have put a smile on my face.....'

Classic

when i new this was comming out on blu ray i had to have it.the crow (eric draven) i.e brandon lee comes back from the dead to avenge his and his girlfriends murder.

this movie is one of my favorites,but on blu ray it shines like never before.

the darkness of this move is astounding.the blu ray version is so clear,and the sound so real it will blow you away.

i wonder if the crows make up was the insperation behind heath ledgers joker in the up and comming dark knight...they look almost identical.

if you want a great movie get the crow on blu ray...believe me you wont be dissapointed.
