Holy fucking based
>>215622249Given that they couldn’t even finish filming it, it hangs together pretty well
SHIT ON ME
>>215622249Who did it better?
>>215622249Hes reallt pretty
>>215622249The punk from this movie and the girl from The Craft are the only time I've ever seen black goths
>>215622479To say Sting didn't capture the vibe of this movie and translate it into the ring is an accomplishment
>>215622249>He didn't watch it when he was 15Missed out desu
>>215622500Only Lord Nikon could pull it off
>>215622249Nice dude.You'll keep enjoying it for years to come if you pace your self.I still pop it on every few years and love it.
i was basically into the movie until some of the kills towards the middle, they struck me as unrealistic
>>215622249It definitely holds up. I watched it for the first time a few years ago and expected it to be fairly mediocre and only propped up by Brandon Lee's death as it's "legacy," but no. It's great. Reading about City of Angels and how it could've been good, but was ruined by reshoots and editing is unfortunate.
First time i watcheted The Crow was on tv, 1993-94 circa.
>>215622249Asian midge
>>215622678Aren't there like half a dozen different versions of City of Angels?
>>215622834There's two, but three if you want to split hairs. There's the final film, which was ruined by studio execs who just wanted a glorified retelling of the original with "new" characters.There's the original screenplay that had the blessings of the original The Crow author James O'Barr. It was filmed, but big man Harvey Weinstein didn't like that it wasn't just a lame retelling of the original, so reshoots were done and ruined it. And there's the novelization of the screenplay, which is pretty much the best version.
Everything about it was just delicious. Every single frame was just dripping with atmosphere. Its cinematography, its set design, its atmosphere. And the humor throughout kept you from taking it so seriously despite the plot and universe. Its no wonder every goth kid who watched this movie immediately downloaded it as their new personality; its just that good of a film. Man, what a loss.
>>215623146Based.
>>215622249He crowed.Lmao fucking gottem'
>>215622249have you seen Blade? that one is also pretty good
>>215622249I saw it last year fucking incredible little revenge movie very satisfying
>>215622500look up angola goths
>>215622479It's wild to learn that it was literally Scott Hall's idea for Sting to copy The Crow.
>>215622249Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is
>>215622249movie sucks. you made this thead yesterday. kill yourself.
>>215622249Glad you liked it, anon. You could watch Dark City next (preferably the director's cut)
>>215624610I always thought it was mere coincidence.Like I thought he looked like the crow, but I didn't think they blatantly were going for that look.I thought it must be some kind of common punk look
>>215624671I suppose it could've been, but Kevin Nash attests that it was Scott's idea.I like Scott Hall, so I'm going with that. https://youtu.be/nsXCsmebnKY
>>215624794No I believe you, I was just stating that I never knew that. Wasnt trying to DEBOONK
>>215623624for some reason Africa is less cursed than America when it comes to African subcultures.

>>215625002That's what I want to play as I bleed to death after a shootout with the ATF.
>>215622678>Reading about City of Angels and how it could've been good, but was ruined by reshoots and editing is unfortunate.>>215622834>Aren't there like half a dozen different versions of City of Angels?>>215622936>It was filmed, but big man Harvey Weinstein didn't like that it wasn't just a lame retelling of the original, so reshoots were done and ruined it.According to Pope, the Weinsteins ordered drastic reediting to match the structure of the original film.[26] After Pope returned to the UK, he was contacted by the Weinsteins who had constructed a "director's cut", with which he was not involved, and Pope refused to see it or contribute to any commentary on the home media releases.[26] Pope's experience making The Crow: City of Angels was unpleasant enough that Pope avoided returning to feature films for over two decades.[27]I always liked Crow 2. It has the Deftones playing a good b-side in it as the live band of the movie. Will look for original screenplay/novelization. Heard there was a hard to find TV version of Crow 2 that had more scenes than the "directors cut" but sounds like there was way more that got cut.
>>215622936>There's the original screenplay that had the blessings of the original The Crow author James O'Barr.O'Barr was given the first attempt at writing the sequel. O'Barr developed a close relationship with Lee during the making of The Crow and wanted to move a follow-up film in an entirely different direction. Titled The Crow: The Bride, O'Barr's pitch saw a woman resurrected after being killed on her wedding day.[12] When presented to Miramax, studio executives rejected O'Barr's story; claiming "no one is going to see an action movie with a female lead."Goyer had known Lee personally and expressed hesitance to signing on, agreeing only under the condition that the protagonist be played by a woman. His pitch partially took place in Victorian-era England and featured a rebirthed Jack the Ripper as the antagonist.[15] Goyer's treatment was approved by Miramax and then promptly scrapped in favor of a film led by "a guy who looks like Brandon Lee."[16] Nevertheless, Goyer remained attached, instead devising a new story which would bring back Sarah Mohr and center on a father avenging the death of his son.
>>215622249Based. I recently rewatched it with a wannabe goth girl (female). First time she saw it. Kept complaining about Shelly being damseled and how gross it was that rape was used a motivator for revenge. What is going on with people nowadays.
>>215625398>wannabe goth girlSo she twerks to rap music and has fucked at least several black guys?
pick one
Heath Ledger copied Brandon Lee
>>215625970he pissed off the chinese mafia to order a hit on him but instead of getting shot they staged his "accidental" overdose?
>>215625887I like the pretty lights
>>215622500I saw a lot growing up with LA Punk shows 20 years ago.
>>215626046why did she look so butthurt after all the goons laughed at her comment?
>>215625660Yes, and probably yes. In my defense she was fun when she wasn't talking.
does anyone know which scenes werent completed with lee, and add to be done with stunt or cg?
>>215625093Wailt til you read about the tupac vs eminem script
>"Hey, I know you... I knew I knew you! ...but you ain't you. You're dead! And there ain't no coming back... there ain't no coming back..."
To black and white. Villain is again more charismatic than the "hero"
>>215626331Practically the whole intro from crawling out of the grave to looking out the window in his house. All done with with unused takes and stunt double. Also, the scene where he's tying up T-Brid in the car and set it on fire. There are a couple more for sure, can't remember now.
This was the shot that killed Brandon Lee
I watched a workprint version a couple of years ago. I think the final theatrical release is the best version for sure, much better pacing than the workprint, but the longer fight scene with the mob should've stayed in, a lot more gore, he actually uses the katana, it was great.
>>215626498That's what everyone assumed back then, but it was the scene with Funboy that killed him. They didn't give details at the time because they wanted to protect the actor.
>>215626534What workprint version?
>>215626498How did Alec Baldwin get away with this?
>>215626498Someone snuck a real bullet into one of the guns didn't they?Did they ever find out who?Or is it still unresolved?
>>215626591There are a couple of them with minor differences. I got them from archive. The video/audio quality is extremely bad on both so be warned.
>>215626591>>215626644Found them:https://archive.org/details/the-crow-workprints-1994_202204
>>215626656How much added content is there?
>>215626498>>215626625Are you retarded? It was Michael Massee who unfortunately killed him and the man quit acting for a decade afterwards.
>>215626498it was michael masse (one of the rapists actors) who fired the shot, i think the intro scenethey shot the whole movie first before the flashback intro (which is a bit odd, so they had 99% of the movie shot)imagine if they shot it on chrono order and he died on day 1 with only the intro partly shot
>>215622249>cant rain all the timeis there a more based line in cinema history?
>>215623482Love Blade.
>>215622249The Jews killed him in order to make a buck
>>215623624zest
>>215624794It can't be understated how much of a contribution Scott Hall gave to the industry. He was the one who knew Jeff Hardy was gonna be a star and he also came up with the idea for Doink the Clown.
>>215622249i watched this movie expecting to crow to be this cool goth dude but hes basically just a goofball like the joker
>>215627129What do you mean? Eric kills like a hundred gangsters and not just safe white ones like Joker. Minorities too. His bird is also extremely racist. He's not an edgelord or anything but he's a cool guy.
>>215626498No, it's the scene where they shoot kill the pair in an apartment. This is the reason why it's done in such choppy, psychedelic manner.
>>215626682Around 15 minutes compared to theatrical. Most cut content was removed with good reason imo, they just extended a lot of scenes that didn't need to be. Again, except for the mob fight scene which I thought it should've been left intact.
>>215626656That's rad as hell. Thanks senpai
>>215622249movie is such a nostalgia trip
>nothing is trivial
Is that gasoline I smell?
>>215628062>movie is such a nostalgia tripa window into a better time
>>215626081She was being serious, and they thought it was a joke.
>>215622249
>>215622249>Just watched 'The Crow' for the first timeThat's great, now go and watch Dark City.
>>215625398Should have told her that the guy who did the comic wrote it out of grief when his bride to be was killed
>>215626498Incorrect, Michael Massee killed him
>>215626625
>>215626716They still had quite a bit left to shoot. The skull cowboy character from the comics had to be removed completely because they’d only shot part of Eric’s interactions with him. It’s remarkable the film hangs together as well as it does given the restructuring
>>215624859bangin' away on Darla
>>215625398surely you told her she was a dumb bitch
>there ain’t no comin back
>>215625398You should’ve gatekept it. Fake alt foid whores who think the rape and murder of your gf shouldn’t be a motivator for revenge and a woman can’t be womanly doesn’t deserve to watch kino like this.
>>215625398Fridging as a trope didn’t exist yet and James O’Barr wrote it after his fiancée was killed by a drunk driver
>>215624621
>>215622441They stitched together what they had pretty decently. >>215623624Those aren't goths. Those are 1980s breakdancers.
>>215629644haha stupid birb
The Crow 4: Lazarus>main idea was, it's lame to redo The Crow as low budget without Brandon Lee and part of the brand was directors like Proyas being music video directors and goth as the music subculture, so after two failed sequels, if we have to keep churning these out then let's take that music/revenge concept and apply it to hip-hop with ideas like Tupac and Suge Knight, record labels and gang wars>was supposed to star DMX as this version of The Crow, a Tupic/Biggie archetype, betrayed by his Puff Daddy/Suge Knight "best friend" and business partner>Eminem was interested to play the judas villain (whole character is basically shitting on Diddy but would have been different if cast with Eminem)>main twist would be, both die in a shootout together, their blood merge somehow and they both get a crow but Eminem gets revived whereas DMX comes back a year later, when he comes back, Eminem has fully climbed to the top as a powerful star/CEO, has manipulated the public and banked on DMX's death etc. And he has the same crow powers so DMX can't kill him>DMX has a black crow, Eminem has a white crow>main influence was De Palma's Phantom Of The Paradise, with a lot of satire on music industry>was to be directed by Joseph Kahn (lots of music videos, Wu Tang etc, then Torque), wanted to go full comics/cartoon with over-the-top stylish set pieces (if you've seen Torque then... yeah)>knew they'd piss off goth fans but at least decided to go all in in this full retard comic book direction>Weinstein pulled out of the deal because they only saw Crow as straight-to-video and didn't believe a movie with two rappers could make money (that was before 8 Mile)
>>215630348grim
>>215625093>The Bride, "no one is going to see an action movie with a female lead."
>>215630348>Eminem has a white crow
>>215631296kek
I've always heard about the Crow. Cawwing in the background as if it were some hidden underground sleeper hit. It was always in the realm of darkman, the shadow, zoro, purple zoro to me. Just some 90's stuff that got left behind. So I decided to get into the franchise a month or so ago and watch the version that came out last year since there's no way I'm going to watch a 30+ year old movie.I thought it was absolute ass. This is your favorite thing? He's the "crow" for less than half the film. It feels like a boring romcom without any jokes.
>>215632366so in essence you're upset it wasn't more reddit coded?
>>215625887If you follow her Instagram, she is batshit insane but so goddamn sexy
>>215629752kek
>>215632386>weird esl actually defending the remake in the gayest way possiblelmao. Maybe he's so bad at english he doesn't realize what he's doing. Let's give him another shot.
>>215622249The Crow is the name for Kino on the lips and hearts of all audiences
>>215626341>>215631116>>215630348>>215631296Zombie was set to make his directorial debut with the film The Crow: 2037, and even wrote the film's script.[70] The film was set to take place in the future, though it was never released.[71][72] It was decided that the film was not suited for the franchise, but would instead serve as a standalone project.
what if they made a sequel about a crawfish superhero but they call it The Craw
>>215622249I haven't seen it for years.Always seemed kinda shit.
>>215622249No, it sucks. Just because somebody died during production doesn't make it good
What did he have against John Romero?
>>215633596That would bee nice.
>>215625887Nipples like erasers, that onet.knower
>Halloweeeen ain't till mañana!
>>215634397huh?
How bad was the remake?
My favourite Halloween movie.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inUCmh3LY9Y&list=RDinUCmh3LY9Y&start_radio=1
