Description:
Catch the explosive, action-packed hit that thrilled moviegoers and dazzled critics everywhere! Brandon Lee (RAPID FIRE) plays Eric Draven, a young rock guitarist who, along with his fiancee, is brutally killed by a ruthless gang of criminals. Exactly one year after his death, Eric returns -- watched over by a hypnotic crow -- to seek revenge, battling the evil crime lord and his band of urban thugs, who must answer for their crimes. Loaded with intense, nonstop action and a hot #1 hit soundtrack, THE CROW delivers exhilarating, fast-paced entertainment!
Amazon.com essential video:
The Crow set the standard for dark and violent comic-book movies (like Spawn or director Alex Proyas's superior follow-up, Dark City), but it will forever be remembered as the film during which star Brandon Lee (son of martial arts legend Bruce Lee) was accidentally killed on the set by a loaded gun. The filmmakers were able to digitally sample what they'd captured of Lee's performance and piece together enough footage to make the movie releasable. Indeed, it is probably more fascinating for that post-production story than for the tale on the screen. The Crow is appropriately cloaked in ominous expressionistic shadows, oozing urban dread and occult menace from every dank concrete crack, but it really adds up to a simple and perfunctory tale of ritual revenge. Guided by a portentous crow (standing in for Poe's raven), Lee plays a deceased rock musician who returns from the grave to systematically torture and kill the outlandishly violent gang of hoodlums who murdered him and his fiancée the year before. The film is worth watching for its compelling visuals and genuinely nightmarish, otherworldly ambience. --Jim Emerson

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - R.I.P. Brandon Lee
This is such a great movie. It has the look of Batman and Batman Returns, and has the feel of all the gothic literature/films that have been seen. Brandon Lee's (sadly) final performance is a treat: he is the one and only "Eric Draven", and all the others are just copycats of him. Pacing and direction of this film is compelling, while the wicked art direction stands out. Action sequences are a must-see, and the script is purely well-written. ***** out of *****.
Rating: - A great DVD!!! A real collector's item!!!
This is one of my all time favorite DVD's and I was so fortunate to find it available on Amazon at an amazing price. It is now safely in my collection where I will watch it over and over again.
Rating: - The Crow - A triumph in comic adaptations
Director Alex Proyas' American film debut and Brandon Lee's final performance before his untimely death The Crow sours on black wings straight out of the darkest portions of the imagination. A dark, visually luscious and captivating tale The Crow (Based on the graphic novel and comics by James O'Barr) truly is a sight to behold. Proyas demonstrates his artistic abilities in creating films with incredibly dark and eye popping set designs which he'd later use to create a perfect Film Noir atmosphere ... Read More
Rating: - Great movie
This was a really good movie. As always, the product from Amazon was excellent
Rating: - THE BEST CROW EVER
There was the Crow comic book, and there is this movie.
the orignal comic and this movie are by far the best versions of The Crow.
after this movie were several movie and comic sequils, a tv series that remade the story, and a comic series that did the same thing.
NONE of these were in any way interesting.
this IS the BEST version of the Crow. just as the orignal comic is the best of the comics.
the rest is garbage.
there have been other ... Read More
