The Crow: The Story behind the Film

On 31 March 1993, with production on The Crow nearing completion, the film's twenty-eight year-old star Brandon Lee (son of Bruce Lee) was accidentally shot and killed while filming his character's death scene. More than a year later, on Friday 13 May 1994, using body doubles and digital effects, and with the consent of Lee's family, the film was finally completed and released -- and immediately went to number one at the US box office. Now The Crow has become a worldwide phenomenon. Using scores of interviews with the cast and crew, including Crow creator James O'Barr, Bridget Baiss provides the definitive account of the making of the Crow movie. From the creation of the graphic novel (itself inspired by a personal bereavement) and its adaptation as a screenplay, through to the premature and controversial death of Brandon Lee and the film's release, every aspect of this ultimate cult movie is chronicled.
