Happy Belated 25th Anniversary to the film The Crow which premiered on May 13, 1994. A great film that's sadly best known for being the film where Brandon Lee (son of Bruce Lee) was accidentally shot and killed on set on March 31, 1993 due to a dummy round that was lodged in a prop gun that hit him thanks to blanks that were put in the gun (the gun wasn't properly checked before using). The few remaining scenes were completed with a body double and CGI.
In a way, Lee was kind of like the 90s Heath Ledger in that he seemed to find that role that was a comic book movie that would've taken his career to the next level but instead passed away at 28 and his death loomed over the film and probably made it bigger in a way.
