Loved the first one. One of my all time favorites.

Never saw the second, but I got the third one, I didn't really care for it so much. I've also never seen the 4th one either.

Well it is about an undead man murdering those who wronged him. Not horror, but horror-themed.

DrenTheLiar 09-24-2006 03:40 PM

im still not convinced...

"The Crow" (the movie) is like an action interpretation of a "vengeful ghost" story. For an action film, I would say it's very vividly horrific a lot of the time.

crippler666 09-25-2006 08:13 AM

All The Crow movies are based around different graphic novels

As far as I am aware there are around 15 or 20 different series of novels

I liked all 4 movies, the first is still the best, but I would like to see it remade as violent as it should have been

But I do have a question, if you count The Crow as a gothic love story (which it is), and it not being made as a mainstream movie, would it have had the following it did without the death of Brandon Lee?

crabapple 09-25-2006 08:25 AM

Hard to say. But the movie they made, I think, is pretty shocking and dark in its own right. It might well have grabbed my attention.

I remember speaking to a makeup effects artist who had just come back from working on the film, and he was profoundly shaken and upset about what had happened. The story had hit the newspapers in a fairly sensational way. Everyone wanted to talk about the accident, and he...didn't.

yes ..

by all rights it was a good movie and a showcase for the very charismatic Brandon.

I think it would have had an even bigger following had he not died.

the film would have been better and there would have been proper sequels

its a forum where people communicate with each other. if you have an opinion you feel strongly enough about that you are willing to publicy post it - why wouldnt you want to present it in a readable fashion ?

its an opportunity for you to take the written word seriously enough to improve yourself.

get pissed at me all you like but if you dont learn from this then your life has an excellent chance of being a complete mess.

communication is a powerful tool .. you want people to take you seriously - learn how to spell.


fuck - its like doing karaoke when you cant sing for shit - you think people want to hear it ?

DrenTheLiar 09-26-2006 01:42 PM

lmao that was funny about the karaoke thing.....but i see where your comin from

crippler666 09-26-2006 05:18 PM

The reason The Crow should have been more violent is the story almost requires it.

If you take the first one for example:

What was done to Eric Draven & Shelley Webster was phsically mentally horrific. Her rape and torture, added to Eric stumbling in on the act, forced to watch and then dies.

So as a reanimated soul, to forever haunt this planet until he enacts his revenge, so did it seem enough? In the comic more happened, but for the movie it was tuned down.

I know it might seem quite sick to ask for more gore, but if the need is there it should be put there.

I know that for some people that is not what they want to see, but GET SOMETHING ELSE OUT. I dont say gore for gores sake, but if something offends me I have an off switch.

I like the film The Crow and it will always remain as one of my favourite films, but I just think if they had put the neccessary violence in it could have been improved.

Oh and by the way Brandon Lee would not have been in the follow ups as the only constant through out the stories is the crow (who is called Manny).

DrenTheLiar 09-26-2006 05:26 PM

damn well said man!

that may have been the way of the comics - but i'm pretty sure had he lived - he'd have been asked to do the sequels.

of course brandon would've been in the sequels, otherwise you'd just regurgitate the plot over and over with increasingly lesser and lesser (and cheaper) actors....







...oh wait

I think the Crow is proving to be a cult classic. I have no interest whatsoever in the sequels however.

Awesome film.

Cult Classic? I think we have proven that it is a Classic Classic for the fact that EVERYONE I talk to loves this film.

DrenTheLiar 09-27-2006 05:35 PM
