Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1Audience Rating: R (Restricted) Binding: DVD EAN: 0786936142723 Format: Collector's Edition, Color, DVD-Video, Widescreen, NTSC Label: Dimension Languages: Manufacturer: Dimension MPN: D21460D Number Of Items: 2 Publisher: Dimension Region Code: 1 Release Date: March 20, 2001 Running Time: 101 minutes Studio: Dimension Theatrical Release Date: May 11, 1994 Editorial Review: 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 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! Average Rating:
 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 ...

As always, the product from Amazon was excellent Rating: - THE BEST CROW EVERThere 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 ...

Heartbreaking watching this now, especially the scene where everything slows down when the trick or treaters are running by and Brandon's laughing. What a horrid tragic ending to a career that was just starting to take off. A great movie and everyone owes it to themselves to at least rent this movie. Not a good movie for kids, but if you don't know who Brandon Lee ... Read More Rating: - The Crow DVDI love this movie and this edition with all of the extras did not disappoint. Great interviews and behind-the-scenes stuff perfectly complement a fantastic movie. I'd recommend this in a heartbeat. |
