The Crow

[Hellstormer]

Always thougt Cillian Murphy would be a good Crow

He has a bit of a creepy look to him, but I dunno if he'd pull off all the make-up without looking goofy.

I actually kind of liked the third installment. I guess its more of a guilty pleasure but I thought the guy who did the Crow was actually pretty good in it, while it lost all the uber-concept of the 2nd film and was a much more simple plot like the first but added more drama through a more "whudunit" twist giving evidence that Cro might have killed his girlfriend.

Amen my friend. I also can enjoy the third one if I don't watch it within a couple of days of the first. The second one I can grind through because I like watching him ride motorcycles. I didn't even know there was a fourth one. Avoid at all costs?

The last one, with David Boreanaz was like eating a taco bell burrito with 6 packs of blazing hot sauce, then swallowing a couple of exlax tablets.

Funniest thing I have read on these boards in a long time

 

[FireFlys Enigma]

I didn't even know there was a 4th movie. Shame on me. I haven't been keeping up. The cast, on IMDb, looks ok. Was the movie actually good enough to buy or should I Netflix it (if Netflix has it)?

 

[cerealkiller182]

Crow: Wicked Prayer was awful.

Hopper and Trejo were underused. No UFC fighters please. Furlong ****ed his chances of stardom long time ago and Boreanaz hams it up in ways i didnt think possible.

Plus it has Tara Reid, whos name I wish I didnt know, and Emmanuelle Chriqui (sp?) who seems pushed to the side for more Reid which is just criminal considering she has more talent in her pinky toe and more beauty in one hair folicle then Reid has total

With that..than that's a Netflix selection. Thanks, CK182

RIP Brandon Lee

I tried checking into who had the rights to the movie,and I still wanna say Disney had the rights(why they kept that movie I don't know,think it was part of the agreement with mirmax or weinstein forgot which).
I was also told they have the rights for 15 years,I was like Holy ***** ,I thought it was only a 1 year..So,rights revert back to O'barr sometime in 2015(last one made in 2005),sob...

 

[Hellstormer]

In 2014 we'll get: The Adventure's of the Crow guest starring the Jonas Bros.!!!!!






At this point I don't even think it'd be possible to do a new Crow movie.
1. The best one was already and really can't be remade.
2. O'Barr isn't interested in another movie or even another comic.
3. Honestly the sequels are not working out.

 

[steelio2006]

i kinda liked Crow: Wicked Prayer. David Boreanaz pretty much acted like he did as Angelus on Buffy and Angel at the end of the movie.

 

[Marx]

The Crow is one of my all-time favorite movies! Brandon Lee was truly amazing...

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

The Crow defenitely is an amazing film.

 

[Symbiotic]

I really wish they'd at least consider officially releasing the PPV cut of The Crow: City Of Angels on home video. (read: Blu-Ray!)

The Crow--a movie I love.

The Crow: Wicked Prayer--a movie I find HILARIOUS.

I honestly think The Crow is a pretty good movie. I'm a lit snob so I hardly ever prefer the movie to the source material, but in this case, I think the movie trumps the comic by having less cartoony villains... Top Dollar in the movie is way more fun to watch than Top Dollar in the comic, for one. There are lines from the comic that I miss, and certain scenes (the one with the cats), but the fleshing out of the rest of the cast in the movie helped the story a lot. Plus, the humor that Draven has with the cop is very neat, too... "You still have your hat on." Heh.

I wish there had been some "THE CROW SAID DON'T LOOK!" in the movie, though--I've always wanted to see Lee as Eric screaming that out.
As for Brandon Lee, the hottest dead guy on that side of forever... tremendous physical acting, and it is of course a crying shame that he died so young. He would've had a fine career.
Though I risk outing myself as a former-sort-of-goth girl, I do love the visual for Draven in the movie--the shirt, the hair, blah blah blah.

Wicked Prayer... that Emmanuelle Chriqui gets less screen time ran Tara Reid is a damn travesty, I agree--the girl is absolutely beautiful by any standard, but certainly compared to Tara...
I don't know, though. I honestly think the 4th movie is kind of fun. Furlong isn't a fraction of the Crow Brandon Lee was, but that's to be expected... but I kind of like that the whole movie is sort of an anti revenge porn statement AND part of the Crow franchise. You can't really root for ANYONE in the movie. Honestly, though? I don't remember the details. A fun movie, certainly, but just as clearly not one for the ages.
And, awww, Tito Ortiz. He was trying! Sort of.

I do like the way the the asian guy mocks Furlong, though--the whole will you marry me bit.

I really see no point in touching the original. Brandon Lee ended his career on a truly high note.

Great Movie

Don't even worry. He pulls it off because he's got such a rock hard body. If more of these goth/emo kids(yes I lump them together and I don't wanna hear the difference) had the drive to go out for sports and workout then they might not be criticized so much for their fashion sense. As it is most just look bad. Brandon pulled it off.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

One of my favorite scenes is when he is on the roof playing a guitar. There's just something about it.

I know, it sends a tingle down my back.

I can't actually play guitar, but my friend showed me how to play that solo. They make it look harder in the movie with his wicked fast fingers.

 

[Fanticon]

One my favorite films of all-time!!! period.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I love this line...

"Herrrreeee, Funboy." Great scene.

Fast forward to 7:00. Freakin kickass scene from there on.

I feel that a Crow-style treatment is what Daredevil needs... The Crow is awesome. I was not really blown away to start, but it got better and better the more I watched it.

One of my favorite movie scenes of all time is from the Crow:

Cop (Ernie Hudson) says "move and your dead"
Crow says "I thought the cops say 'freeze'"
Cop says, "I say, move and your dead"
Crow says, "well I say that I'm dead, and I move".

 

[LastSunrise1981]

Hey everyone, check out this interview with Ernie Hudson. He explains what happened on the set of The Crow and how easily it could've been avoided. This is the first time I've ever heard anyone describe the incident in detail.

Agreed, DD needs more practical effects than the goofy CGI we got but probably not the same level of poeticism as Crow.

 

[LastSunrise1981]

Personally I feel The Crow in general is best left untouched. No remakes, no more sequels. Leave it as it is with the first film as anything else that attempts to be good will be a carbon copy of the first.

Brandon's performance is one that is amazing and tragic at the same time. There's no doubt had he lived it would've sent his career skyward and there's no telling how big he would be now. Rumor has it that he was originally considered for the part of Neo in the Matrix.

I also recommend that everyone watch the interview with Ernie Hudson that I posted. It's very informative and there are more interviews of him discussing The Crow on Youtube

 

[Superman-Prime]

The Crow
The Crow: City of Angels
The Crow: Salvation

^They were all awesome.

The Crow: Wicked Prayer was the worst comic book adaptation ever I've seen in my whole life.
