Eh. As an angsty teenager I loved the crow but when I try to rewatch it as an adult basically all it is is a ghost and an incestuous mob boss desperately trying to outgoth each other.
but the soundtrack kicks fucking ass
Oh yeah I won't deny that and it honestly has some wildly beautiful visual moments and really cool things but overall ... what I said is basically the synopsis.
You say that as if a goth-off is a bad thing…
That's what we need nowadays, a good ol' fashion 90's Goth-off!
hahaha yeah I wont deny a goth off is entertaining but its just, to me, not this huge iconic masterpiece people hold it up to be. It's a dumb fun movie with a ghost and a mob boss who fucks his sister.
And a ballin soundtrack. Jebus help that soundtrack is good.
Honestly, I think the tragedy surrounding Brandon Lee and also his father, along with their places in film history, legacy, etc, really pushes a lot of the cult following.
To be fair, it did have an intense shootout scene...
Too...soon?
It's been more than 22.3 years, I figured it was safe.
Uh, yeah, it is. What you just described kicks ass.
I mean, the creator of the graphic novel wrote it to deal with the tragic death of his fiance caused by a drunk driver. The movie became an instant cult classic due to Brandon Lee getting shot on set and dying shortly before the film was fully wrapped up. Some of his scenes had to be modified with first person views because he was dead!
It's not just the film, it's the lore lol
