The Crow

This movie is stylish, and it is special as it was Brandon Lee’s last movie, but it isn’t great or anything.  It just didn’t do much for me.  In case you’re curious about how Brandon Lee was killed, it wasn’t any strange curse or anything, just a stupid mistake.  They needed to film a scene where the camera looked down the barrel of a gun so that the bullet could be seen in the chamber.  To do this, they removed the powder from the bullet as a safety precaution.  But, they didn’t remove the primer from the cartridge.  At some point after the scene was shot, somebody pulled the trigger of the gun.  The explosion of the primer was just enough to push the bullet into the barrel of the gun.  Some time later, the same gun was used in a scene where they shot blanks at Brandon Lee.  The bullet was still in the barrel.  The blank was no longer blank and Brandon was the unintentional victim.  A sad story indeed.
