They actually just put the original series back in print as a TPB.

And yea that music for that movie was excellent it really fit with how the movie looked visually. I love every scene with him playing guitar.

Thanks. I found it on amazon.com for $12.24, 240 pages. I'm not sure if it's the same one you mentioned.

The Crow on Amazon.com


Is it the one you mentioned?

That'd be it. Its say something like "Back in print at last" across the top because O'Barr has so many issues (mostly financial) that he always ends up pulling it. Get it while its good.

Thanks again. I just ordered it along with South Park: Season 11, Frank Miller's Give Me Liberty (graphic novel) and the Japanese movie great Ichi the Killer. Ah, today is a good day!

I love the pawn shop scene. That reminds me the most of Heath's Joker.

"Didn't you hear me rapping!?"

They are nothing alike and to compare anything besides their look is just idiotic to me. Eric was a man out on revenge to right the wrongs done to him, the Joker was a villain out to kill as he saw fit. There was nothing similar about their personalities, or their motives.

You're not a very nice person you know that? I was referring to the way both the Joker and the Crow saw things in a somewhat twisted and humorous way. Remember in the pawn shop how he was making jokes and playing with the rings like a little kid? Yea that's what I'm talking about.

Don't worry, Hellstormer. There appears to be a lot of anger and angst going around the boards tonite. I just had an entire post deleted because I was defending Robert Downey Jr's name on a Batman thread.

The Crow sadly is underrated when it comes to the action. The shoot-out in Top Dollar's hideout is one of the greatest action scenes in comic book cinema, yet it gets overlooked for the flashier ones. Shame.

Here's my favorite scene from the movie.

I love it because it kinda exemplifies the audience it was trying to reach. That grunge almost Goth movement. Thanks God the emo kids of today haven't picked up on this movie yet. I've yet to see a Crow shirt in my Hot Topic (not that I actually bother going in there), but I already lost Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands so figures crossed I don't lose this.

I watched most of the movie yesterday before it cut off for some unknown reason (I was watching it on the CP). Anyway, Brandon Lee did a damn good job in the role and from what I watched it was overall well done. 9/10

That's what I took your remark to mean.

'victims...aren't we all?'

 

[Metamorpho1977]

I live a couple of houses over from James O'Barr, creator of the Crow. I'm a big fan of the first movie. What a Superhero movie is supposed to look like when done as much for the art as for the entertainment, that's what I think of it. James O'Barr wasn't a fan of the sequels. I run into him every once in a while at my local comic shop and he said they weren't how he pictured them when he wrote them.

Personally, I didn't really care for the COA, Iggy Pop was cool and it was cool to see Thomas Jane in an early role. It's sad that Trini, the Yellow Power Ranger was in that for her last role.

The third one, Salvation wasn't as bad as COA. Eric Mabius is a good actor with a bright future if he can get a better agent.

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.

That movie had some awesome sound bite quotes.

I kinda liked COA.

Trini...i heard she died.Is this true?

not saying i didn't like COA, but it was a big down fall from the first one.

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.

Some of favorite quotes:
Eric Draven: Suddenly I heard a tapping, as of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. You heard me rapping, right?

Sarah: People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right.

Sarah: If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever.

Eric Draven: Is that gasoline I smell?

Funboy: Jesus Christ!
Eric Draven: Jesus Christ? Stop me if you heard this one: Jesus Christ walks into a hotel.
[Fun Boy shoots him]
Eric Draven: Ow! He hands the innkeeper three nails, and he asks...
[Fun Boy shoots him again]
Funboy: Don't you ever ****in' die?
Eric Draven: Can you put me up for the night?

 

[cerealkiller182]

I always liked that image of him next to the Hotel sign.

 

[nocomics]

I seriously wish they make another one,preferably with a female crow,and use the style from the 'Iris' series.
I know its probably a dead issue,and no I don't want Jason Stathem anywhere near this character...I'm not sure who has the rights to this movie? I think I read Disney got rights from their split with Weinstein or Miramax deal. I thought the rights would revert back to O'barr by now?

 

[cerealkiller182]

Always thougt Cillian Murphy would be a good Crow

 

[Two_Face]

Hell yeah! I never thought of that but he'd be a great Crow. I'd go crazy if he got casted for a Crow movie.

 

[nocomics]

Always thougt Cillian Murphy would be a good Crow

ya,I think he would as well. I always thought maybe jessica beil(sp) would make a good female version.

 

[Heretic]

I think if they make another Crow film they should go in a completely different direction. I do not need to see another satanic/evil biker gang getting their due from another Eric Draven wanna-be. Something like...crap, anything....do one of a southern black preacher getting killed by the KKK and having him come back. Use Lynyrd Skynyrd as a soundtrack...play up the religion aspect of it...go to Native American folklore like one of teh miniseries did...anything but an evil gang again.
