@@MetalZoomer not only that but he also says it in a way where he humanizes himself. “Say are you some kind of ghost” “ya gonna vanish into thin air again?” And the moment he looks at him with this pain of not only what happened to Shelly but the pain of realizing he isn’t a human anymore and he’s looking for a way to keep some humanity
@@CynicalRam This. I was thinking the exact same thing. Like, Albrecht is the one genuinely decent person in this movie (except for the girl too) and while in his company, I think Eric wants a break from both the revenge and supernatural and just be human for a little while.
And then we lose Ray Liotta this is why I've hated death for years he has always been cruel to me the Grim Reaper he took away the very people I cared about the sad thing is I hate to admit it but every time Jeff took someone I cared about it feels like he's taking a bit of my soul but also my feelings and yet I don't fully hate the Grim Reaper maybe he himself cries when he sees a redeemed poor innocent Soul or even a dammed soul at least in my opinion shows that he at least has compassion I just hope and pray to God that I have 80 more years the reason why I could at least look at my first great-grandchild just to hold the child in my arms and say thank you God and I also hope to leave my Bible to my children and I pray that they hold on to that Bible as it is passed down through the generations only as a sign of good luck but also as a sign of faith in hopes that it will restore even if it is small a great amount of Faith to restore my family

I am enamored by his delivery of that line of dialogue. His inflection was so human and sincere, wanting to make Sargent Albrecht feel safe around him and letting him know that he wasn't a threat to him, using slight dry humor as a way to deflect from the horrors that they had both experienced and shared.

Why is that? I really like the movie, I've seen it more times than I can count, I love the soundtrack, but what makes it the greatest of all time? Aside from the aura of tragedy that came with Brandon's death, it's a standard revenge story.

When my fiance died, that fucking line played over and over in my head for months... "The little things used to mean so much. I used to think they were kind of trivial. Believe me... Nothing is trivial." RiParadise my love. And Brandon Lee.
In a recent interview, Ernie talked about being friends with Brandon Lee for years prior to the film. Brandon wanted Ernie for the part. They had dinner together the night before his death.
It’s that moment where he has to face the pain of not living anymore. Especially without Shelly. In that moment he’s trying to hang on that little bit of humanity by walking out a front door. There’s layers to it and it’s heartbreakingly beautiful
"I thought I'd use your front door." Honestly, one of the greatest scenes in the history of movies. An absolutely incisive moment, wonderfully but simply written, and brilliantly acted by Brandon. It shows that this guy who has been resurrected and given insane abilities and is, to quote Brandon himself, quite mad at times, is still a person. And he wanted to feel that for a moment by doing something as utterly mundane as using a door. Absolutely brilliant.
Eric was such a kind and generous soul with such purity and love for his beloved and his actions were motivated only by great pain. Brandon's innate intelligence and deep understanding of his character truly shone through.
The scenes between Ernie and Brandon are some of the best in this movie, I really enjoyed the friendship and trust they built. Ernie deserves big praise for this film. Brandon as everyone knows made a iconic performance and it would have been really cool to see where he was going as a actor.
What Brandon Lee's character says about the little things...how nothing is trivial. So feel that in so many ways these days. This movie literally embodies how darkness can be also beautiful. Incredible, haunting and visceral film. Still can't believe he's gone.
@Gop This film is beloved by many people and is the lasting legacy of Brandon Lee. I think you just have dogshit taste in film. In fact, yes, I can smell the dogshit.
Unfortunately, movies and film making has become about quantity over quality. It use to be quality over quantity because it took so long to put a movie out.
knowing his friend stayed with her the whole time brings tears to my eyes. He saw his friend fall from a 6 foot building and saw both of them put in the ground and got into trouble for trying to find out who those guys were. He's a good friend and it hit him hard after they both died, the fact he never told anyone who killed those men who killed them a year before means a lot to him. That's one hell of a true friend.
They weren't friends. He was just a good cop trying to do right by a couple who was murdered. He even says after Eric mentions he stayed with Shelly the whole time that he was just hoping she'd come out of it to give him something to go on.
@@blobdobbler2929 that and because though Brandon was a smoker, he knew it was bad. I read that when he told Ernie Hudson's character that cigarettes would kill him, it was unscripted.
@@TaylorKnightCosplay Well this movie is a cult classic that reflects a lot of the dark themes of 90's grunge culture. It certainly wasn't mainstream oscar material. For many of the people I grew up with. They lived in a world not much different from the one portrayed in the movie.
Sergeant Albrecht is a character they dramatically improved from the comic who was really a mixed of a minor beat cop who was scared of Eric and a detective named Capt. Hook. He has more of an active role and depth in the movie
It would have been a waste of Ernie Hudson's talent otherwise. Outstanding actor, outstanding performance. Hopefully, he knows what real film fans think of his talent.
I first saw this as a kid sometime in 2000 and it hade a huge impact on me. The aesthetics , score, soundtrack, action and character moments like these stayed with me my entire life. I'm Swedish and this film also taught me to speak english(well this and terminator 2). Brandon was one of my heroes growing up. I try to think of quotes from this film when life is rough like, "it can't rain all the time" and the quote "nothing is trivial" helped me cope with the loss and grief I experienced in my own life.
Eric's reaction upon knowing what happened to Shelley was extremely heartbreaking. I am so glad that he had Sargent Albrecht to help him process his grief. The sincerity and empathy of Brandon and Ernie's on-screen connection is so beautiful and it enriches the atmosphere of the film even more.
i was gonna say it looked like he was reading the ingredients for a second. he might have been reading his lines off the bottle for all we know kinda a refresher.
Actually it may not be an acting thing but more a Brandon thing. In the documentaries it was stated that Bruce, never drank any alcoholic beverages and that during scenes of The Big Boss, he improvised drunk scenes by playing characters that never touched the stuff before. Same could be said about Brandon. Granted Bruce died before Brandon became old enough to start drinking odds are, that habit rubbed off on him.
This movie teaches us about how to cope and heal after losing a love one, teaches us that there's light at the end of the tunnel and how to support each other through dark and complicated times.
Indeed. It truly allowed me to process so many tragedies in my own personal life and the character of Eric became in many ways a channel for me to externalize my grief and process it through such a special piece of human artistry and media.
Moments like these, where Eric speaks to/spends time with Albrecht and Sarah, were my favorite parts of the movie, because we get to see his human side, flashes of the man behind the grief, and it makes you hurt all the more knowing that someone so kind was taken from the world so cruelly and senselessly
This scene is so full of heart break. The performances by Brandon Lee and Ernie Hudson are absolutely the best. The way that Brandon Lee goes from funny to tragic to sympathetic is just absolutely perfect. GNU Brandon Lee.
One wishes Brandon Lee himself were reborn in life as in art. In a way, he is, every time someone streams the Crow. It's just that good. RIP the son of The Dragon. We'll see you and your father in the next world. Let the Crow fly Forever!
Started watching it for the first time last night I was born in 93 on the same day Brandon lee died 31st march always had a fascination with it and what do you know it's been added to netflix
The thing about this scene which you can't make the same is how sincere, calm, and sad it is. It seems more natural then most films now that overacted this seems more like too average people talking about a sad tragedy and connecting which makes this scene great
This movie is atmospheric, badass, immersive. But above all, BEAUTIFUL, and this scene cemented that fact for me. It became a truly emotionally cathartic experience once this scene ended, and the way I watched the rest changed. This movie is, simply put, beautiful.
Damn that was such a great scene with his reactions and how he demands not to be touched again, lest he see the memories of his fiancée dying in the hospital again. It was like he actually felt the pain of loss and seeing the suffering that he couldn’t bare to have to see it a second time
If you watch how he finishes Top Dollar, you'll see he *did* feel it. To quote Eric, "I have something I want to give you. I don't want it anymore...30 HOURS OF PAIN! ALL AT ONCE! ALL FOR YOU!!"
I'll give you the missing saddest part of this scene : Albrecht - 'Hey, ah, I'm sorry as hell for what happened to you and your girlfriend.' Eric - 'Yeah...'
You can feel the grief. It's so profound! At that moment, these two started being really good friends...which I guess some might find strange, a living human being, being a true friend to someone who has already died...and yet, is right there with him, talking to him...and giving him the best advice that there is. Eric is telling him that nothing is trivial. What Eric is saying, of course, is that everything is important. Everything! He's also telling Officer Albrecht, concerning the Officer's Wife, to love her, no matter what, and to hold onto her, and to set their differences aside, and love each other for all that they're worth. Never let go, ever! Eric knows about loss...not only the loss of his own life, but the agonizing pain and struggle that his fiance, Shelley, went through for 30 hours, before she died. Eric loved Shelley like no other! That's why he told Officer Albrecht to love his Wife, and to never let her go. Eric knows the ultimate pain of being separated from someone that he loved more than life itself!
Should be in the Hall of Fame. THIS MOVIE AND BRANDON LEE. Both deserve the highest honor for acting and movie production. This movie is TIMELESS. A Classic love story ❤
Eric and Shelly’s relationship was the heart and core of this movie. You could tell they were just good people that had something atrocious happen to them. Lee is outstanding at portraying Eric’s pain and sadness here… A good, good person that lost his loved one in a violet, undeserved manner and he cannot cope with it.
"I saw her through your eyes. You stayed with her the whole time." PLUS this scene foretells how The Crow will defeat his foe, with a vivid memory of pain!
My all time favorite live action Halloween movie! I use to look forward to this movie being aired on tv every year around Halloween and I never missed it. The entire cast sold this movie with memorable performances and the production crew created a hell of a story. I liked Ernie in Ghostbusters, but I loved him in this movie. He and Brandon played off of one another so naturally; it was like breathing. Brandon is the one and only Crow. Then, now, and forever. If Brandon were still alive today, he would be an Academy Award winner and an Oscar winner for sure. R.I.P. Brandon Lee you are dearly missed.
god he was so beautiful and so gifted, i just want to hold him, hug him in my arms after when he seen what happened through that cop's mind. rip brandon, we will always and forever love you and your dad.
I love how this scene lets some of Eric’s “real” personality in, like when he says, “You still have your hat on.” That seems like something he would have said before he got killed.
The way Brandon performed was beyond amazing.. look at his reaction after he grabs the beer. Its Little details like that like here's a dead guy adjusting to being alive again. I love this movie. I like how Brandon laughed too
There's so much good in this scene. How Eric revels a bit in Albrecht's wonder about him with the spooks, then just chews the scenery. How he confoundedly studies the beer bottle after taking it out of the fridge, as if trying to remember something from another life. How Albrecht is just trying to get to grips with the situation, his mind reeling at the dead man walking. The utter vulnerability of that final line...
NOTHING is trivial...these words always stuck with me cuz the smallest things mean so much to me i've been that way all my life ever since i was real little... he says the line with such passion too... its so true
This film is part of the reason I grew up the way I did. Mistrusting police who are being payed off, keep my head down around the wrong people. But also, not to take crap from no one. And if you hurt my family, revenge is so sweet.
Ernie Hudson was the connection to Eric the life line to this movie completely he told Eric everything he knew and it helped Eric get those guys throughout the movie
The way Brandon looks around the room with his head movements like a crow showing his link to it, and also his semi erased memory of his surroundings. Things look different from the point of view of the dead, then they do the living. The smallest of things are highly noticed that we don't think twice about.
Brandon's moments of vulnerability as Eric truly showcased that the character was ultimately such a deeply sensitive and sweet person in life and I love how in spite of the fact that he committed brutal things under The Crow mantle, he never truly let revenge guide his actions, rather a sense of retribution stemming from a place of deep love and devotion to his Beloved Shelley. His and Sargent Albrecht's silent complicity and friendship were what truly made the film so very meaningful to me and thirty years later, this is still my absolute favorite film of all time.
"nothing is trivial" reminds me that the smallest moments and empty convo's w family members are so important. The little routines, the way you know each other's different smiles and moods. Take none of it for granted because things are always changing. Hang on to those memories to help keep the loneliness at bay when we are alone later.
This film had such a brilliant cast and each small nuance in this scene truly adds something incredible and unique to the atmosphere of the story. From Eric's kindhearted and softspoken interaction with Sargent Albrecht, to Albrecht's concern for Eric after he fell back in sadness and bereavement after he had seen what had happened to Shelley through his eyes. It truly seemed like they and Sarah would have been such a happily bonded trio of good friends and they would have been such a beautiful found family had Eric had more time. Ernie Hudson's acting steers the emotional message of the film and his quiet determination and strength truly parallel the essence of who Eric is. I believe that something beautiful about the film is that Eric can see himself reflected in each person that he interacts with as his journey unfolds. Sarah Mohr represents his devotion to his family and the immense grief and longing that he feels in refusing to let go of the objects and things which tie him to his mortal past and identity (Sarah can also represent the innocence of Eric and Shelley's relationship and the almost magical quality of their love), Sargent Albrecht represents his necessity for justice and compassion as well as the undercurrents of remorse as Albrecht is getting divorced from his wife and Eric regrets that he didn't seem to value Shelley's empathy and gentle spirit as she always found amazement and wonder in the seemingly trivial things in life (Albrecht can also represent how Eric was judged because he differed from the status quo and chose to be kind to others and in how in spite of the violent nature of his mission, at its core it is ultimately the pursuit of justice, given that Albrecht is a kind and compassionate man who is shamed for his desire to help others amid a profession which constantly exposes him to cruel events, and Darla represents the almost metaphorical and unwavering addiction to his mission which is his only momentary focus. I also find it very beautiful that Eric and Shelley's favorite holiday was Halloween and as they were both judged on a daily basis, Halloween provided them with the necessary strength and courage to celebrate their authenticity and love for each other. Furthermore, this has a much greater significance as Eric is one of the most genuine characters in the film and his intentions are purely from a justice-seeking standpoint, however at his core, he is a beautiful and kindhearted soul who does not use The Crow persona as a means to be disengenuous with himself, rather that it is an outlet for him to express his deepest emotions and the most central pillars of himself. In other words his facepaint which is modelled after the Irony Mask in their home does not mask who he is, rather it represents the most fullest expresssion of his identity. I also believe that Top Dollar is a dark mirror of who Eric would have become had he permitted for his actions to be solely guided by revenge and not love.
him being unsure of what he is,examining the beer bottle for a moment like he doesn't quite know what to make of it,his humanity flickering on and off..subtle but brilliant. I also love how he uses whatever powers that are keeping him on this side to make Albrecht stop smoking,perhaps not right here,but he quits before the end of the movie.
I saw this last night for the 30th anniversary with my mom and mannn how you see every detail.. it looked so beautiful in 4K you can see the rage and emotion in Eric’s eyes.. such a good movie but sad since he did pass away.. one of my favorites growing up still is..I got teared up at the end.. people sat for a few limites and my mom sat for like 30 seconds or so like Woahh stunned.
Such an amazing actor! I was a kid when my dad took me to see this 3-4x and have seen it at least twice a year ever since. One of the best, most underrated performances ever and just a great overall film. R.I.P. Brandon
I love the little detail in this scene. When Eric grabs officers head to see and feel the unfortunate moment of his love he suddenly feels all the emotion and pain she went through and loses his balance, and officer was about to touch him which would probably killed or injured the officer, one of the powers of Eric as seen in the last scene and he yells “Don’t touch me!” to prevent that from happening.
i watched this for the first time last night not sure why i had never before. you can hear so much of his father in him every word out of his mouth feels genuine and kind... till its time to not be kind.
Earnie Hudson is severely underrated in this movie. People just remember him from Ghostbusters.
He signed my copy of The Crow.
wait. he's the black member of the ghostbusters? I didn't realize that. :p
Completely agree
His daughter is Jennifer Hudson great actress and beautiful voice (screw you idina menzel and adele)
And he's badass in Congo too!
The look he gives when he says I think I’ll use your front door is unreal. His acting was amazing
I think he was trying to hold back all of his pain from what he saw when he touched Albrecht's head.
Glad someone finally mentioned that. That’s probably one of my favorite parts. You can just see the pain behind his eyes as he says that.
My eyes water a little after hearing him say that
@@MetalZoomer not only that but he also says it in a way where he humanizes himself. “Say are you some kind of ghost” “ya gonna vanish into thin air again?” And the moment he looks at him with this pain of not only what happened to Shelly but the pain of realizing he isn’t a human anymore and he’s looking for a way to keep some humanity

They weren't friends. He was just a good cop trying to do right by a couple who was murdered. He even says after Eric mentions he stayed with Shelly the whole time that he was just hoping she'd come out of it to give him something to go on.
Believe it or not, this movie helped me quit smoking.
GC that’s good man, is it because of that scene with Brandon sucking the morphine out of the girls veins
@@blobdobbler2929 that and because though Brandon was a smoker, he knew it was bad. I read that when he told Ernie Hudson's character that cigarettes would kill him, it was unscripted.
@Necramonium dont think heroine was nearly at the level morphine was at this time.
Me too.
Your right.
I don't believe you
When he said boo! And opened the beer for him I cheered, Oscar deserving! R.i.p brandon Lee
@Gop Very few people agree with you. Maybe your taste is just dogshit.
@Gop stfu troll.
@Gop i see you are all over this comment section trolling. Edgy
@Seymour Cox If you watch the whole movie it was really his charisma
None of that was Brandon it was is fill in he was dead by now
I love this scene because it shows that no mater what he is now - he's still human.
This was Brandon Lee's Dark Knight moment like Heath Ledger's Joker.. RIP...One the best movies ever...
dmxdxl sadly they both died at the height of their careers but unlike Brandon, Heath won an Oscar for his last movie.
Taylor Knight fuck
Ledger
@@TaylorKnightCosplay Well this movie is a cult classic that reflects a lot of the dark themes of 90's grunge culture. It certainly wasn't mainstream oscar material. For many of the people I grew up with. They lived in a world not much different from the one portrayed in the movie.
What's funny to me is Joaquin Phoenix's Joker kinda looks to me as a mix between Brandon Lee's Eric Draven and Heath Ledger's own Joker.
Both great actors
My favorite scene of the whole movie. So much emotion. Ernie and Brandon have a wonderful chemistry with each other.
What a beautiful scene. Eric's so emotionally fragile here.
This is by far the most beautiful scene of this movie. The acting, the music, the aesthetic, everything.
"I thought id use your front door.."
I love this scene.. Two good souls.. Love this movie. I love how they wrote it. Two friends like neighbours
"It cant rain all the time."
The look he gives when he says “I thought I’d use your front door” absolutely kills me every time
Sergeant Albrecht is a character they dramatically improved from the comic who was really a mixed of a minor beat cop who was scared of Eric and a detective named Capt. Hook. He has more of an active role and depth in the movie
Good thing as well cause I like Ernie Hudson in this film, he's great in this and Ghostbusters
It would have been a waste of Ernie Hudson's talent otherwise. Outstanding actor, outstanding performance. Hopefully, he knows what real film fans think of his talent.
I first saw this as a kid sometime in 2000 and it hade a huge impact on me. The aesthetics , score, soundtrack, action and character moments like these stayed with me my entire life. I'm Swedish and this film also taught me to speak english(well this and terminator 2). Brandon was one of my heroes growing up. I try to think of quotes from this film when life is rough like, "it can't rain all the time" and the quote "nothing is trivial" helped me cope with the loss and grief I experienced in my own life.
"Believe me. Nothing is trivial!" Love that line.
Eric's reaction upon knowing what happened to Shelley was extremely heartbreaking. I am so glad that he had Sargent Albrecht to help him process his grief. The sincerity and empathy of Brandon and Ernie's on-screen connection is so beautiful and it enriches the atmosphere of the film even more.
I love when Eric grabs the beer from the fridge and just looks at it like he has no idea what it is XD
Sebastian Fritz maybe he was a beer snob and wanted to make sure it was a craft IPA
i was gonna say it looked like he was reading the ingredients for a second. he might have been reading his lines off the bottle for all we know kinda a refresher.
He's prolly like "why's he drinking this piss warm beer aka Coors light"
Well, at least it's not a Corona.
Actually it may not be an acting thing but more a Brandon thing. In the documentaries it was stated that Bruce, never drank any alcoholic beverages and that during scenes of The Big Boss, he improvised drunk scenes by playing characters that never touched the stuff before. Same could be said about Brandon. Granted Bruce died before Brandon became old enough to start drinking odds are, that habit rubbed off on him.
This movie teaches us about how to cope and heal after losing a love one, teaches us that there's light at the end of the tunnel and how to support each other through dark and complicated times.
amen we miss you Brandon lee!
Indeed. It truly allowed me to process so many tragedies in my own personal life and the character of Eric became in many ways a channel for me to externalize my grief and process it through such a special piece of human artistry and media.
@@601marcusable Amen. Rest in peace, Dear Brandon. The world hasn't really quite remained the same without you.
God, the acting in this movie is amazing, at one point when Eric heres what happened to them you can see him start to shake slighty
Ernie Hudson was so beautiful in this film. He made it feel safe throughout the chaos.
Moments like these, where Eric speaks to/spends time with Albrecht and Sarah, were my favorite parts of the movie, because we get to see his human side, flashes of the man behind the grief, and it makes you hurt all the more knowing that someone so kind was taken from the world so cruelly and senselessly
This scene is so full of heart break. The performances by Brandon Lee and Ernie Hudson are absolutely the best.
The way that Brandon Lee goes from funny to tragic to sympathetic is just absolutely perfect.
GNU Brandon Lee.
One wishes Brandon Lee himself were reborn in life as in art. In a way, he is, every time someone streams the Crow. It's just that good.
RIP the son of The Dragon. We'll see you and your father in the next world.
Let the Crow fly Forever!
Started watching it for the first time last night I was born in 93 on the same day Brandon lee died 31st march always had a fascination with it and what do you know it's been added to netflix
You can feel Eric's pain.The scene is just so sad & powerful.The acting is phenomenal.
I cry every time he felt her pain and he couldn’t handle it.
I saw this movie when it came out at the cinema in 1994. RIP Brandon
The thing about this scene which you can't make the same is how sincere, calm, and sad it is. It seems more natural then most films now that overacted this seems more like too average people talking about a sad tragedy and connecting which makes this scene great
Brilliant acting here from 2 great actors.
Rest in peace Brandon. 🖤
This movie is atmospheric, badass, immersive.
But above all, BEAUTIFUL, and this scene cemented that fact for me. It became a truly emotionally cathartic experience once this scene ended, and the way I watched the rest changed.
This movie is, simply put, beautiful.
'I thought I'd use your front door'. Beautiful writing and acting .
Damn that was such a great scene with his reactions and how he demands not to be touched again, lest he see the memories of his fiancée dying in the hospital again.
It was like he actually felt the pain of loss and seeing the suffering that he couldn’t bare to have to see it a second time
If you watch how he finishes Top Dollar, you'll see he *did* feel it. To quote Eric, "I have something I want to give you. I don't want it anymore...30 HOURS OF PAIN! ALL AT ONCE! ALL FOR YOU!!"
Robert Eugene cool
@@roberteugene7295 yeah & that’s actually top dollars punishment plus him falling off the roof etc lol
We miss you Brandon, you are an iconic actor.
This moment in The Crow always hits me right in the feels 😭😭😭😭
I'll give you the missing saddest part of this scene :
Albrecht - 'Hey, ah, I'm sorry as hell for what happened to you and your girlfriend.'
Eric - 'Yeah...'
You can feel the grief. It's so profound! At that moment, these two started being really good friends...which I guess some might find strange, a living human being, being a true friend to someone who has already died...and yet, is right there with him, talking to him...and giving him the best advice that there is. Eric is telling him that nothing is trivial. What Eric is saying, of course, is that everything is important.
Everything! He's also telling Officer Albrecht, concerning the Officer's Wife, to love her, no matter what, and to hold onto her, and to set their differences aside, and love each other for all that they're worth. Never let go, ever! Eric knows about loss...not only the loss of his own life, but the agonizing pain and struggle that his fiance, Shelley, went through for 30 hours, before she died. Eric loved Shelley like no other! That's why he told Officer Albrecht to love his Wife, and to never let her go. Eric knows the ultimate pain of being separated from someone that he loved more than life itself!
Should be in the Hall of Fame. THIS MOVIE AND BRANDON LEE. Both deserve the highest honor for acting and movie production. This movie is TIMELESS. A Classic love story ❤
And the most human love story ever told.
Eric and Shelly’s relationship was the heart and core of this movie. You could tell they were just good people that had something atrocious happen to them. Lee is outstanding at portraying Eric’s pain and sadness here… A good, good person that lost his loved one in a violet, undeserved manner and he cannot cope with it.
"I saw her through your eyes. You stayed with her the whole time."
PLUS this scene foretells how The Crow will defeat his foe, with a vivid memory of pain!
Always brings tears into my eyes....this movie and Brandon.....you will never be forgotten.
My all time favorite live action Halloween movie! I use to look forward to this movie being aired on tv every year around Halloween and I never missed it. The entire cast sold this movie with memorable performances and the production crew created a hell of a story. I liked Ernie in Ghostbusters, but I loved him in this movie. He and Brandon played off of one another so naturally; it was like breathing. Brandon is the one and only Crow. Then, now, and forever. If Brandon were still alive today, he would be an Academy Award winner and an Oscar winner for sure. R.I.P. Brandon Lee you are dearly missed.
Love the background music in this scene.
As others have already said -what a great loss, he was so talented and handsome!
Ernie Hudson is really good in a supporting role. This is a very heavy scene.
Just a dang good actor
god he was so beautiful and so gifted, i just want to hold him, hug him in my arms after when he seen what happened through that cop's mind. rip brandon, we will always and forever love you and your dad.
"it can't rain all the time" we will miss you Brandon lee
I LOVED ERNIE HUDSON IN HERE AND THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE AND THE BASKET BALL DIARIES
These two had awesome chemistry together. Ernie Hudson is brilliant 👏
"Say...are you some kind of....of a ghost? Because I have three friends in New York with proton packs who'd be interested in meeting you if you are!"
hahahaha.. nice!..
The crow and ghostbusters in the same universe?? Interesting
LOL, You win the comment section my good sir!
Sharp turn to Supernatural Comedy!
LOL Ohhhh that was the best comment at a youtube clip I've seen in a long time
We truly lost someone talented and special. Rip Brandon Lee♥️
I love how this scene lets some of Eric’s “real” personality in, like when he says, “You still have your hat on.” That seems like something he would have said before he got killed.
The way Brandon performed was beyond amazing.. look at his reaction after he grabs the beer. Its Little details like that like here's a dead guy adjusting to being alive again. I love this movie. I like how Brandon laughed too
Man, when he says "don't touch touch me". Hits so hard.
One of the best scenes in the movie. Heartbreaking, RIP Brandon, oh what you could have become.
There's so much good in this scene. How Eric revels a bit in Albrecht's wonder about him with the spooks, then just chews the scenery. How he confoundedly studies the beer bottle after taking it out of the fridge, as if trying to remember something from another life. How Albrecht is just trying to get to grips with the situation, his mind reeling at the dead man walking. The utter vulnerability of that final line...
NOTHING is trivial...these words always stuck with me cuz the smallest things mean so much to me i've been that way all my life ever since i was real little... he says the line with such passion too... its so true
This film is part of the reason I grew up the way I did. Mistrusting police who are being payed off, keep my head down around the wrong people. But also, not to take crap from no one. And if you hurt my family, revenge is so sweet.
Ernie Hudson was the connection to Eric the life line to this movie completely he told Eric everything he knew and it helped Eric get those guys throughout the movie
The way Brandon looks around the room with his head movements like a crow showing his link to it, and also his semi erased memory of his surroundings. Things look different from the point of view of the dead, then they do the living. The smallest of things are highly noticed that we don't think twice about.
Brandon's moments of vulnerability as Eric truly showcased that the character was ultimately such a deeply sensitive and sweet person in life and I love how in spite of the fact that he committed brutal things under The Crow mantle, he never truly let revenge guide his actions, rather a sense of retribution stemming from a place of deep love and devotion to his Beloved Shelley. His and Sargent Albrecht's silent complicity and friendship were what truly made the film so very meaningful to me and thirty years later, this is still my absolute favorite film of all time.
Great movie, RIP Brandon
"nothing is trivial" reminds me that the smallest moments and empty convo's w family members are so important. The little routines, the way you know each other's different smiles and moods. Take none of it for granted because things are always changing. Hang on to those memories to help keep the loneliness at bay when we are alone later.
Cop: Are you some kind of ghost ?
Eric: Boo!
Me: LOL!!
One of my fave movies and soundtracks!🙌🏻
Love the scene so much One of my most favorites in the film
I grew up with this movie being one of my favorites. truly a tragedy to lose that man
This film had such a brilliant cast and each small nuance in this scene truly adds something incredible and unique to the atmosphere of the story. From Eric's kindhearted and softspoken interaction with Sargent Albrecht, to Albrecht's concern for Eric after he fell back in sadness and bereavement after he had seen what had happened to Shelley through his eyes. It truly seemed like they and Sarah would have been such a happily bonded trio of good friends and they would have been such a beautiful found family had Eric had more time. Ernie Hudson's acting steers the emotional message of the film and his quiet determination and strength truly parallel the essence of who Eric is. I believe that something beautiful about the film is that Eric can see himself reflected in each person that he interacts with as his journey unfolds. Sarah Mohr represents his devotion to his family and the immense grief and longing that he feels in refusing to let go of the objects and things which tie him to his mortal past and identity (Sarah can also represent the innocence of Eric and Shelley's relationship and the almost magical quality of their love), Sargent Albrecht represents his necessity for justice and compassion as well as the undercurrents of remorse as Albrecht is getting divorced from his wife and Eric regrets that he didn't seem to value Shelley's empathy and gentle spirit as she always found amazement and wonder in the seemingly trivial things in life (Albrecht can also represent how Eric was judged because he differed from the status quo and chose to be kind to others and in how in spite of the violent nature of his mission, at its core it is ultimately the pursuit of justice, given that Albrecht is a kind and compassionate man who is shamed for his desire to help others amid a profession which constantly exposes him to cruel events, and Darla represents the almost metaphorical and unwavering addiction to his mission which is his only momentary focus. I also find it very beautiful that Eric and Shelley's favorite holiday was Halloween and as they were both judged on a daily basis, Halloween provided them with the necessary strength and courage to celebrate their authenticity and love for each other. Furthermore, this has a much greater significance as Eric is one of the most genuine characters in the film and his intentions are purely from a justice-seeking standpoint, however at his core, he is a beautiful and kindhearted soul who does not use The Crow persona as a means to be disengenuous with himself, rather that it is an outlet for him to express his deepest emotions and the most central pillars of himself. In other words his facepaint which is modelled after the Irony Mask in their home does not mask who he is, rather it represents the most fullest expresssion of his identity. I also believe that Top Dollar is a dark mirror of who Eric would have become had he permitted for his actions to be solely guided by revenge and not love.
masterpiece scene, and soundtrack
"You shouldn't smoke these..... they'll kill ya"
That's just a little bit of dead humor
Watching this tonight in honor of Brandon with my friend. I'm going to cry my eyes out.. for real. You are missed Brandon! 🖤💔
him being unsure of what he is,examining the beer bottle for a moment like he doesn't quite know what to make of it,his humanity flickering on and off..subtle but brilliant. I also love how he uses whatever powers that are keeping him on this side to make Albrecht stop smoking,perhaps not right here,but he quits before the end of the movie.
I saw this last night for the 30th anniversary with my mom and mannn how you see every detail.. it looked so beautiful in 4K you can see the rage and emotion in Eric’s eyes.. such a good movie but sad since he did pass away.. one of my favorites growing up still is..I got teared up at the end.. people sat for a few limites and my mom sat for like 30 seconds or so like Woahh stunned.
Brandon Lee played having the weight of the world on his shoulders so well in this movie.
“Nothing is trivial” and “I think I’ll just use the front door”. Brandon’s ability to go from comedic to brooding and hurt is remarkable.
Phenomenal movie and one of the best scenes in the film. You feel every word in this clip...
This film helped me confront grief and overcome my depression.
There will never be another Crow like Brandon. He was that role.
Such an amazing actor! I was a kid when my dad took me to see this 3-4x and have seen it at least twice a year ever since. One of the best, most underrated performances ever and just a great overall film. R.I.P. Brandon
I love the little detail in this scene. When Eric grabs officers head to see and feel the unfortunate moment of his love he suddenly feels all the emotion and pain she went through and loses his balance, and officer was about to touch him which would probably killed or injured the officer, one of the powers of Eric as seen in the last scene and he yells “Don’t touch me!” to prevent that from happening.
I had the pleasure of meeting Ernie Hudson several years ago. Along with being extremely talented, he was very nice....And gorgeous.
This was so underrated it’s hurts.
i watched this for the first time last night not sure why i had never before. you can hear so much of his father in him every word out of his mouth feels genuine and kind... till its time to not be kind.
