he was such an amazing person and its a complete tragedy what happened to him. life can be so shit sometimes. But he was destined to play this role, he made it his own and noone else could of achieved this. The quote he says at the end is beautiful and obv meant alot to him, im glad its on his gravestone, he would fo appreciated that and the mass cult following he created with this film and by just being a special person. RIP Brandon Lee - another that went too soon x

Yea that is a strange coincidence... unfortunate for both great actors. you wouldn't think that job would be so dangerous.

Well first of all you're missing some facts, and below you so is paisletplace, as it wasn't a bullet that killed brandon lee, but a broken fragment from a blank that wasn't cleaned from the gun. the accadent was a prop malfunction and it was an accadent. the actor michale massee, the shooter, who was holding the gun at the time, wasn't scripted to hold the gun but the director changed the script during filming... michael massee is interviewd about this tradgety as well.

Do any of you recall writing an essay in college about a person you'd want to meet, living or dead&why? I chose Brandon Lee. It was not long after his death; I'm from NC&moved back and forth to the state for years until settling down here. In another college class I was able to use a character vs real live/dead person and I chose The Crow for many of the reasons brought out by Brandon here. This was years+ b/4 this interview came to light. Used many pts he mentions here. It's so sad he died.

I've seen most, if not all of Brandon Lee's films; I must say that out of all of them, this was by far my favorite b/c he could take such liberties w/the character, such risks. I've probably watched the film a few hunded times&yet it always moves me. Even if Brandon had survived the stunt failure, I beleive The Crow movie would still live in infamy w/the occult following. The Crow (Lee's Crow) is still the most popular of any of the others combined. That says a lot.

timbrn: You have obviously never worked in theater or on a movie set when a film is working on a slim budget and a trucated time table. Things are missed; those extra precautions are not always followed. Since this was a first-time occurrance, the movie industry changed everything about the manner it handled weapons, explosives, and even blanks. A system of checks and rechecks by different people went into place to assure this never happened again.

It was short during the filming of THE CROW. He's on the set.
