The Crow (Bonus 1994 Dave’s Pick)

Directed by Alex Proyas, based on the comic book by James O’Barr and starring Brandon Lee, Ernie Hudson, Rochelle Davis and Michael Wincott, The Crow was marred by tragedy after Brandon Lee’s on-set death, but went on to become a box-office hit and launch a franchise.The contemporary reviews quoted in this episode come from Roger Ebert (https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-crow-1994), Caryn James in The New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/1994/05/11/movies/review-film-eerie-links-between-living-and-dead.html), and Owen Gleiberman in Entertainment Weekly (https://ew.com/article/1994/05/13/crow-3/).Please like, share, rate and comment on the show and this episode, and tune in for our next retrospective installment covering the awesome movie year of 1999, featuring another future cult classic, Jim Jarmusch’s Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai.
