The Crow (1994)

On the awakening of The Crow universe, I liked the 2024 movie. So, I went and searched for the 1994 movie.
I'm way passed the emo/goth phase the 94's movie vibe passed, but I still liked the love story and connections, specially the whole spiritual and supernatural behind both movies.
So, 94's Eric Draven makeup and personality kinda reminded me of Heath Ledger's Joker, which made me wonder if that Joker was inspired by The Crow.
Thoughts?
don't look don't look the shadows breathe...
YEEEESSS BRANDON ""OWNS"" ERIC DRAVEN
He died acting as Eric and it's disrespectful to do a reboot. Like i said Brandon "owns" Eric, it would be ok if they tried to make a new character based on the first movie but not just take Eric and giving to another actor, I know they said that they would try to respect Brandon's memory but I don't believe it. I do not hate Bill, he's a great actor, i hate the people who thought this would be a good idea
It’s very weird to me that this is not the first time I’ve had a reason to say this: only one actor ever has or ever will really play Eric Draven.
Rebooting that role is an insult to Brandon Lee’s memory.
Rob Zombie had the sense to think better of it, so The Crow: 2037 was scrapped. The Canadian tv series Stairway to Heaven was rightfully cancelled after one season.
The movie sequels are…fine, on average. City of Angels is a slightly interesting story with something resembling a plot, and they descend in quality from there. Since they don’t feature Eric Draven as a character, but rather his successors, no big deal.
The character of Eric Draven should never have been rebooted.
And this new movie looks like it was made by people who don’t give a damn about the comics.
I don’t often hope for things to fail, but on that short list is any remake of The Crow.
I very rarely get riled up about this sort of thing, but I watched my big brother’s copy of The Crow almost every day when I was 15 & 16 years old. It means a lot to me.
“Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well, and yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really.” – Brandon Lee
i watched the crow & god i loved this line. i know the original quote is by william thackeray but i preferred the version said in the crow.
Is it bad I find this weirdly attractive
Oh Brandon Lee. 🖤
My older sister had a watercolor painting that was of him sitting In a chair as the crow. It faced towards my bed and I remember falling asleep every night feeling like he was staring into me. Eventually, I trained myself to get used to the face that looked back at me every night.
