Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
The Crow is a 1994 American gothic supernatural superhero film directed by Alex Proyas, written by David J. Schow and John Shirley, and based on the 1989 comic book series by James O'Barr. It stars Brandon Lee in his final film role, as Eric Draven, a rock musician who is resurrected from the dead to seek vengeance against the gang who murdered him and his fiancée. Lee was fatally wounded by a prop gun during filming. As he had finished most of his scenes, the film was completed through script rewrites, a stunt double, and digital effects. After Lee's death, Paramount Pictures opted out of distribution and the rights were acquired by Miramax Films. The film is dedicated to Lee and his fiancée, Eliza Hutton. The Crow premiered in Santa Monica on May 10, 1994, and was released in the United States on May 13, 1994, by Dimension Films. The film received positive reviews for its stylized noir aesthetic, emotional resonance and Lee's performance. It grossed $94 million on a $23 million budget and has gained a cult following. The success led to three sequels, a television series, and a 2024 reboot, all of which failed to replicate the first movie's success. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
