THE CROW

I'd like to meet:

~ Scenes After Brandon's Death ~

â… .) Eric Draven's death in flashbacks (this was the scene Brandon was filming at the time he had died);

II.) A scene with Eric walking into his apartment after returning from the dead was digitally composited from a scene of Lee walking into an alleyway with raindrops added (the rest of the scenes in the apartment were all done with the double)

III.) Lee's face was digitally composited onto the stunt double when Eric puts on make-up in front of a mirror to show his reflection

IV.) When Sarah (Rochelle Davis) visits Eric in his apartment, his face is not seen as it is actually the stunt double.

V.) The Crow was finally released in May 1994, and was a modest box office hit. It is dedicated to Lee and his fiance' Eliza Hutton at the end credits.

~ Random Facts ~


• Cameron Diaz was offered the role of Shelly but she turned it down because she didn't like the script! (Oh, she must've regretted that one)


• River Phoenix (who died in October of that year from an overdose) and Christian Slater were both offered the role of Eric before Brandon.


• Top Dollar, Myca and Grange are never referred by name in the movie.


• Michael Berryman plays the role of the Skull Cowboy, a character that didn't make it in the final cut of the movie.


• T-Bird's final words are from Book IV of Milton's "Paradise Lost". When Lucifer is found in Paradise by two Cherubs, he rebukes them for not recognizing him. They rebuke right back saying that his appearance has changed from being in Hell. "So spake the Cherub; and his grave rebuke, Severe in youthful beauty, added grace Invincible: Abashed the Devil stood, And felt how awful goodness is, and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely; saw, and pined His loss"


• The poem that Eric Draven quotes when he breaks into Gideon's shop is "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe.


• The order in which Draven hunts down the four killers is the same order in which they attack him in the apartment.


• The scene in Albrecht's apartment was ad-libbed by Brandon Lee and Ernie Hudson. The line about Shelley ("Believe me, nothing is trivial") was not in the script.


• Eric Mabius, who starred in The Crow: Salvation, had auditioned for the role of Funboy in the first film.
