hannah: i don't know who Bruce Lee is to be honest
me, ash, and EVERY 90s kid: HOW DARE YOU?
RIP to the man, the myth, the legend Bruce Lee
RIP to the one and ONLY crow Brandon Lee
Dark City was directed by Alex Proyas, the Director of the Crow
getting a pin and a heart from ash 😊
PLEASE have hannah react to all of Bruce Lee's films... the big boss, fist of fury, the way of the dragon, enter the dragon... maybe even his series the green hornet...
@@alexwong7324no wonder i loved dark city as well... the same gothic beauty of the crow
@@c0zycherry the sets were reused for the Matrix after Dark City
How do you think we Boomers feel? Our movies are rebooted, remade and reimagined. There is a total lack of imagination these days.
The final bits shot after Brandon's death, The Crow was played by Brandon's stunt double, Chad Stahelski. Stahelski later directed a little movie called John Wick after being Keanu's stunt double and befriending him on The Matrix.
Symbolisms indeed, my friend.
Most of it, not just the final bits. He was actually shot and killed during the pawn shop scene early on. They used dress rehearsal, stunt doubles, and reused cut scenes to finish the movie, which was pretty impressive and a hell of a way to honor him, rather than just scraping the entire project.
@@zimvader25 Most movies are not filmed in chronological order.
@@zimvader25 Also he was killed in the scene when he walks into the apartment.
Watch the documentary. He was shot when he was standing on the table.
@@jasonregister3494 ive heard 3 different things now. The pawn shop scene is when he dies, the table scene, and the funboy scene. Which is it
RIP, Brandon Lee, 1965-1993.
Gone, but not forgotten.
he was born same year as my mom
he died same year i was born
People never truly die until they're completely forgotten.
The triads killed bruce lee and his son brandon lee
@@Dystopia54109
🤦♂️
“Mother is the name for god on the lips and hearts of children” Some of the best movie lines of all time came from this movie. The recent Batman owes a lot to The Crow’s atmosphere and visual style. RIP Brandon Lee
“Silent Hill” uses that line too tbf, “Mother Is God In The Eyes Of A Child” & it really is powerful!! 💯
To give credit where it is due, it's from the novel "Vanity Fair" by William Makepeace Thackeray originally. But, as part of the this movie it gives chills every time.
Mocking God, and you wonder why Brandon lee is no longer with us.
Its Father not mother!
This is exactly how feminism poisons our society.
Whenever my wife and I are together and we need to stop at a convenience store, we always make a comment about needing 'smokes and road beers'.
The line is actually in the movie because it's in the comic - exact same scene, basically (minor differences). Even has the "Jesus walks into a..." joke.
The Crow has one of the greatest movie Soundtracks of all time. It’s incredible.
Still have my CD and I still think it has the best soundtrack of any movie. Holds a very special place in my grunge heart ❤❤ not one bad song on it
It's weird how soundtracks kinda fell off...
This and the underworld soundtracks are my favorites.
Several of the songs where made specifically for this movie and yet still became mainstream hits like Big Empty by STP and Burn by the Cure....those of some of those bands biggest songs
@@Itsunclegabby Music fell off, so I’m not surprised sadly.
It can’t rain all the time…
RIP Brandon Lee
Firearms instructor here. This movie is NOTORIOUS in the gun community, due to the improper weapons handling on set (the malfunction is called a Squib Fire) resulting in Brandon Lee's death.
What isn't as known though is how his stunt double stepped up to finish the movie in Lee's place. That stunt double was Chad Stahelski, the director of the John Wick movies. In case you were wondering why they train so much for those movies? That is why.
Jeff Cadiente was another double for Brandon as well.
@@Pr0x1mo Chad was the stunt coordinator IIRC, Daniel Bernhardt (also in John Wick) was Keanu's stunt double for that film.
So without this tradgedy, John wick as we know it wouldn't exist? 😭😭 nothing is so bad it wasn't good for anything
@@slychicken661 Not necessarily.
One thing I really liked about this movie is how Eric shifted between vengeful spirit and the kind man he was before. He got justice, but kept his humanity.
In a way, similar to Robocop. Dude was just machine like in the beginning and by the end, ended up becoming more like the person he was before he was put together.
If Brandon didnt die, he would've been Neo in the Matrix
He would have been a perfect Neo OMG😢
Or Agent Smith. He as a baddie vs Keanu holly fck
He moves so well it would of been like a entire ballet
The Crow was so ahead of its time - thinking Blade, Dark City and the Matrix all followed this using similar set pieces and tone. The table scene even resembles the joker in Dark Knight. Awful lot of hard work went into this film and utterly tragic it took Brandon.
More like V for Vendetta as they both were based on graphic novels. Dark City could’ve been inspired by it too.
Yes and no..I always thought the crow borrowed heavily from Tim Burton's batman
@@davidd.3555 well dark city is by the same director…
Also Spawn. This would have been the perfect tone for the Spawn movie.
@@GeremySidebeak I think it was maybe more from Proyas music video days. Artistically I think one area it certainly differs is they intended to shoot The Crow in black and white but they didn’t have the budget so it ended up being shot using sepia filters, careful colour control on set and colour timed out hence an absence of colour bar the flashbacks. I get some tonality with the ‘89 Batman but The Crow felt far more grown up. For example the roof top idea alone was in Dark City whose set was sold to the Matrix prod where we see Trinity in similar shots to Eric.
"It can't rain all the time."
The Crow is a revenge horror classic. The insane manner around Brandon Lee's death only makes the film that much more haunting.
Also, if Brandon Lee's tragedy hadn't occurred, I think he would have become a huge Keanu Reeves type actor, doing more great action and martial arts films.
He showed that he had a great range as an actor. He would have made more than mere martial arts flicks. But yea I think he would have shined on the Matrix. I would have loved to have seen him play Vampire Lestat.
Actually Brandon Lee never wanted to be known for doing just action films, the man himself mentioned in one of his interviews that he wants to do more dramatic roles and expand his range as an actor. Being an action star was not on his radar. R.I.P Brandon.
I don't see the horror
I remember really liking his movie Rapid Fire
His death made this film a MUCH, much sadder film, IMO (heartbreaking in so many ways). It's one of the greats. Wish the ending hadn't been cropped out here but (other than that) I LOVE the reaction (& the numerous "daddy chill!" clips are very well timed!) LMAO when Hannah said "get a notebook out"! Now people need to knock off trying to do remakes. They all SUCK (one would have been much better if they had honored Brandon the way they wee supposed to but greed ruined everything as it always does.)
18:20 The guy that's walking out of the store is James O'Barr. He's the writer/artist of the comic book, The Crow. He created it to help deal with the death of his fiancée, and he also befriended Brandon during filming the movie.
The graphic novel was fantastic. James O'Barr wrote it as a way to deal with the grief of losing his girlfriend to a drunk driver. He was against the making of this film until Brandon approached him about letting it get made. When Brandon died, James was torn up again.
He has a cameo stealing a TV set distracting Officer Albrecht as he meets Eric the first time.
“People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right.”
😂😂😂 him thirsting over Brandon Lee's back muscles made the entire video!!! Amazing!!!
Was that even Brandon's back or his body double's?
@@jp3813 his face was super imposed on his body double... I guess the scene where Brandon falls out the window is the moment In real life he was shot... And they were going to scrap the movie but decided against it
@@U-GozooThats the scene they were shooting when he was killed. But that’s not the actual footage. The footage where he was killed was immediately destroyed and they reshot it with the body double, which is the version that was used in the film
The Crow is one of my favorite movies of all time. I used to dress up as Eric Draven every Halloween during my high school emo phase. They can remake this movie as much as they want, but nothing will beat the original. RIP Brandon Lee
And they are, with the IT actor. I dunno how I feel about it. Though I do like that actor.
The scene in which T-Bird realized who the main character actually is is fantastic. His performance is so chilling and believalbe; you can feel his terror.
After the death of Brandon Lee on the set of The Crow, Rochelle Davis had to return to the set in order to film the scene in which Eric says "Sarah, I do care." with a body double in the character of Draven. Tough.
She would not appear in another film until 2009.
Shes actually commented on some of these reactions on youtube
Wasn't she in the film Joe Somebody with Tim Allen?
The Crow is hands down one of the best films of the 90s and one of the best comic book films of all time! Brandon Lee to the Crow is like Heath Ledger to The Joker. Both iconic performances that would be impossible to replicate. They will be remembered forever! It's hard to imagine anybody matching the same energy that Brandon gave off in this film. Good luck, Bill Skarsgard.
Every time I watch this, the part he jumps off the rooftop and laughs, I always think it is such a Joker moment and I love it
Not Ash accepting his inner goth himbo the whole movie through. 😂 That and Hannah vibing with The Cure song ("Burn") made me love you two all the more! I was truthfully kind of expecting you two to take the piss, as I know goth culture tends to not be held in particularly high regard in most British circles, but I'm so happy you guys clicked with the overall vibe so quickly, and that you liked it as much as you did! The perfect mix of dark romanticism, tragic heroism, and adrenaline pumping action. Iconic, all the way around.
After this film came out SO MANY people would show up to goth clubs and events dressed up like Eric Draven, with the trenchcoat and greasepaint, to the point where goths everywhere came up with a new motto: "Friends don't let friends dress like The Crow - not even on Halloween, not even as a joke." Luckily, I think time has definitely made this phenomenon less and less common, and I think most "elder goths" have come around in the end. Haha
People always talk about 'Queen of the Damned' having the best alternative music soundtrack, but my money's always been on this film's soundtrack. It's a 10/10 from start to finish IMO, both the movie itself and its OST. And poor Brandon's film career was just starting too, which makes me doubly sad to think of how the success of this film would have put the world at his fingertips. Just thinking about where he'd be nowadays hurts my heart.
R.I.P. Brandon Lee, an absolute icon. 🖤
HE FINALLY DID IT!! The reaction I’ve been waiting for 🔥🔥🔥🔥🫡🫡🫡
I watched an interview with Brandon Lee where he explains how a burglar once entered his home at night and he stared chasing him around the house. Brandon said that there were posters of his father and him on the walls around the house and there were moments where they stopped to catch their breath and the thief was like... wait is that you? He had no idea he picked the worst possible house to break into! Brandon said he pulled out a knife in the end and he disarmed, blocked and held him down with a holding technique until the police arrived! Brandon got cut on his arm but it wasn't a big deal he said!
This inspired the fight scene in Rapid Fire, where the FBI agents attempt to kill him.
Brandon Lee was my favorite actor. When I heard the news he was killed while filming the crow I was devastated. He was accidently shot during the scene with funboy (Michael Massee) right after being shot in the hand. He shot him in the stomach with a projectile that was lodged in the barrel of the gun. Michael Massee never recovered from the death of Brandon Lee. RIP Brandon Lee. RIP Michael Massee.
Brandon Lee was your favorite actor? Based off which performances?
@FireandIce0221 that's what I was thinking.
He was shot IN THE NECK during the flashback scenes....but you got the shooter right( who is also dead now)
@@warrenpeaze4590 No, he really was shot in the abdomen. They weren't about to show us a snuff film so the scene was reshot.
@@lunacouer yes...I scene in the apartment. Also,the bullet (head) came out the barrel sideways and struck him in the neck. He was rushed to Wilmington Hospital where he sadly bled to death....
Him and this movie are the reason I wanted to be a Director
"CAW CAW BANG FUCK I'M DEAD" is possibly my favorite line.
"We should just video tape that whole thing and play it back in slow motion"
I freaking lose it at that scene no matter how many times I've watched this movie. 😂
@@joshuawood3055 @elizabethoboril938 honestly, michael wincott's Top Dollar performance is sometimes such an amusing character
It's right up there with " I came to chew gum and kick ass, but I'm all out of gum"
@@dontgiveinfo I was talking about favorite line from THIS movie. If you want to talk favorite lines from They Live, I could give a whole bunch LOL
now you have to add this Icon on the wall of badasses. "nothing is trivial" : )
Facts!!
Oh 100%!
@@justtrustash Since you're a Bruce Lee fan, you might like the movie about his life, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. I can't really speak on how accurate it is, but it's a very good movie. :)
@@justtrustash react to Ninja Assassin next please
This is one of my top five favorites. I've seen it probably 50 times, and I'm still crying like a baby at the end.
Every time.
Michael Massee, who plays Funboy, was the one who shot the faulty prop gun that killed Brandon Lee. It was only his third movie and the trauma was severe. Many years later he said he would have nightmares related to the event, even though he never watched the movie. He died in 2016.
He was weak minded.
@@brucef310 Wow, so edgy.
@@brucef310 Prideful is deadly, let's hope you wise up before you fall.
Rapid Fire (1992) Brandon Lee film is a must see BANGER!!!
Both Brandon And Bruce are buried together here in Seattle Wa.. Bruce's wife and daughter still live there
ASH, HANNAH, I am 67 years old and have been a Bruce Lee fan since the 1960s when he appeared on a television show called The Green Hornet!!
I think I was probably around 8 years old or so and was a fan of the Batman television show!! Then comes along this Green Hornet and his assistant/sidekick/chauffeur, fights like no one I had EVER seen before at the tender age of eight!!! This guy was flying through the air kicking people in the head, spinning around and kicking people, taking on multiple combatants at the same time and kicking the living SHIT out of them!!! Needless to say I instantly became a fan and was obsessed!! Bruce Lee's tragic death was difficult but when his son Brandon became a movie star it started to look like perhaps the torch was passed and then the tragedy that happened to him!! I don't know why the Lee family was cursed with this rotten luck but the world was deprived of some fantastic martial arts talent because of it!!!
I don't know if you guys are familiar with the series that was just bought by Netflix called Warrior!? But it is produced by Bruce Lee's daughter and it is developed from the writings of Bruce Lee himself!! The series takes place in 1800s San Francisco and the discrimination and hatred that the Chinese immigrants felt coming to America in San Francisco!! It's a really awesome series and the lead actor does a lot of the things that Bruce Lee used to do in film when he was fighting!!❤❤
The show Kung fu, with caradine, was famously bruce Lee's idea for a show he could do. Then Hollywood stole it, changed it some, and gave it to caradine. He knew westerns with a Kung fu guy thrown in and always coming out on top, would sell like crazy in asia.
RIP Brandon Lee (February 1, 1965 - March 31, 1993), aged 28
You will be remembered as a legend
So so young
Here is a fun fact. The director of John Wick Chad Stahelski was a stun man in this movie. He was brought in as a body double to finish the scenes that Brandon was supposed to be in. Chad was also the stunt double for Keanu Reeves in The Matrix franchise.
Loved this movie and Bruce and Brandon Lee so much that I named my first son Draven Hazard in '96. My wife and I went to see it in the theater 8 times before it was pulled. RIP Brandon Lee.
The song in the background, as he's putting on makeup and his clothing, is 'Burn'. By the Cure.
I will take this belief till the day I'm no longer on this mortal plane: Brandon Lee was going to have the type of career that Keanu Reeves has had. Brandon was Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt all rolled into one and on top of that carrying the legacy of his father. We were robbed of greatness.
I paid for the Patreon just for this reaction and I watched it as soon as I could and I’m still gonna watch this version cause this is my all time favorite movie I literally have a tattoo of the mask Eric uses for the inspiration for his makeup
The crow till this day still a Halloween costume favorite. Even i did it a couple years back
I did it several times. Fairly easy to put together too.
I must have watched this movie over a dozen times in the theaters when it came out. Absolutely my favorite movie. I still listen to the soundtrack to this day.
The most daddy chill i ever seen... now we call him Ash Draven.
Is it just me or Ash just broke the record for the most daddy chills in a single video 😂😂😂
Facts
Yes, Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker in The Dark Knight was partially influenced by The Crow. The movie is about a musician who is murdered by a gang the night before his wedding, and then rises from the grave as the Crow, an avenger. Brandon Lee, who plays the Crow, dies during filming at the same age as Ledger. Lee was instrumental in making the adaptation more faithful to the comics, but his death led to major changes to the film.
The Crow is like Blade, Neo, Joker and Batman combined!
Kind of got a bit annoyed when he said “this need’s evanescence music” like did bro just diss NIN like that??😭 that song in the background is a CLASSIC.
Chad Stahelski was Brando Lee`s stunt double in this movie and he did the body double of Lee`s after his passing in order to finish this movie. Now guess what?! Chad Stahelski is the director of all Johm Wick movies!!! 🤯🤯
I was so excited to watch your reaction and you did not disappoint! I knew you would lose it at the guitar solos!!!
I didn't realize you would love The Crow so much Ash but I'm glad you did. As a 90's Baby I remember watching this as a kid and still as a adult. This movie encompassed the gothic - industrial setting in the early 90's and inspiration to movies like Blade and the Matrix. R.I.P Brandon Lee 🐦⬛🙏🏻
Literally one of the greatest movies of all time I would argue. #RIPBrandonLee who was up and coming for stardom and legacy to have his life ended so prematurely. Will literally NEVER get tired of this film, and such an insult, don't care if it's Skarsgard or not, is an absolute insult to Brandon Lee's memory and legacy to remake this and use his last performance as a platform for another to occupy.
The music, the visuals, the action, the performance, and plot are all on point and I'm really grateful as a fan of the late and great Bruce Lee you both finally got the opportunity to watch this epic film. 💯💯💯
Fyi: Funny you mention John Wick as Chad Stahelski who filmed that was Brandon Lee's stunt double here who recorded most of the scenes used when finishing the film after Brandon Lee's unfortunate passing.
One of my favorite movies I saw it in a hotel with my mom and Dad we were with my dad for a convention for the carpenters union. Dad ended up getting kidney stones and had to go to the hospital. When he got out of the hospital next afternoon he was all doped up on heavy duty pain meds. Mind you my dad was very cheap lol.. but because he was so out of it he told my mom that we could rent any movie in our hotel room. The is we picked. Mom and I had such a blast watching it ❤ oh btw we were right next to the mall of America and Dad handed his oh so precious credit card and told us to buy whatever we wanted! I was going into 8th grade. Best vacation ever lol . I was hooked on the crow and wanted Sarah's clothes in this movie and had to get the soundtrack. Man I feel old but lucky to get the experience of that time in my life. R.I.P Dad ❤❤
My brother showed my this movie some years ago and it became one of my favorites, the acting and the story were so amazing
Fun fact Brandon's friend & stunt double Chad Stahelski finished some scenes after Brandon died he would go on to be the Director of the John Wick movies.
Show her Dragon The Bruce Lee Story👀
As a young Gen Xer, this movie was/is ICONIC, and IMHO influenced a generation of youth!🥺❤ Rest in peace, Brandon.
Ash...Brandon was an amazing young man, kind, talented and could kick ass like dad. He is one of those actors that I always imagine what roles they would have starred in if still alive. Such a loss. 😢
Mother (or Ash) is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children.
“SYMBOLISMS”!!!!
I absolutely love the comic/book. The guy that wrote it, James O’ Barr, wrote it as an outlet after his fiancée was killed by a drunk driver. He also got inspired by another tragic story of a couple and their engagement ring. It is a great comic/book. When I heard Brandon Lee was doing the movie, I was so happy. Just can’t believe what happened, happened. This linage is so tragic.
in movies there are 3 types of ammunition, 1) full load - these are real proper lethal bullets, 2) Blanks- (to be used with squibs) these are rounds with the lead bullet removed, when fired from a gun they make the sound and the flash& smoke & 3) dummies/no load- these look like real bullets for scenes showing closeups of loading etc, but have no propellant, and the primer that ignites the propellant is fake or already used..
the accident that killed Brandon was when the gunsmith used real live rounds to make dummies by pulling the lead bullet out of the shell, then emptying the gun powder propellant and replacing the lead bullet back into the shell so it looked like a real round rather than use actual dummies, meaning the gun that was to used in one of the scenes (the pawn shop scene to be exact) where gideon shoots eric was supposed to be filled with dummies in the closeup so we could see his revolver was loaded, then cut, the next round was supposed to be a blank (bang but no damage) during filming the gun was used as planned and everything went to plan except some crew on set heard a "pop" but paid no attention, what had happened was after the blank round was fired the actor pulled the trigger a few more times to make it look good, (there were only dummies loaded in the other 5 cylinders, but instead of being real dummies that are completely inert, they were the home made dummies that the gun smith made by emptying the propellant.. but they still had the active primer which had just enough power to pop the lead bullet head half way down the barrel.. they packed up and for weeks that bullet was lodged in the barrel of that gun , until they filmed the scene where eric walks in and sits on the table where all the baddies are meeting...all the guns held by actors and extras in this scene were blanks, (bang but no damage) or so they thought, that same gun with the bullet lodged half way down the barrel was used by one (no one knows or remembers who had which gun) but the blank round has the same propellant as a full live round so when fired it was enough force to shoot the wedged bullet into brandon's chest center mass (pretty much a direct hit to his heart) and Brandon was dead before he hit the table.
Hey guys! This is very much a reflection of the American 90s industrial/grunge era. I don't know what the music scene was like in the mid 90s in the UK, but by the mid 90s here movies got really dark, characters wearing all black, latex, which brought us movies like this, The Matrix, Blade, and such, which pretty much became the standard for a while, and the music was Nine inch Nails, Soundgarden, Ministry and all that were very much the soundtracks.
Brandon Lee is the most beautiful human I have ever beheld.
I was 14 and in a very bad way, dealing with a violent death of someone who meant a lot to me. The soundtrack was my most beloved possession for a long time. I still have a deep love for gothic romance and uh, a type, if you know what I mean. ❤
"Is that gasoline i smell?"
Ok Ash, you cracked me up with this one 😂😂 I love how obsessed you got with Eric immediately. This movie is so amazing!
This is one of my top 10 movies. Really hope you guys love it
One of my favorite movies!! I knew Ash was going to love this 🙌🔥
The guitar solo called Inferno wasnt from Brandon himself it was recorded by Graeme Revell a famous musician from New Zealand
The fire that formed the shape of a crow... also used prominently in Dark Knight promotional material. There is SO much inspiration here for the Joker and many other things in The Dark Knight
Probably one of the best soundtrack albums - have it and still listen to it. Cant believe they are remaking it - no need for it
FIRE IT UP! 🔥
Hey, that ish ain't even loaded, man… 🔪
@@AzulApewhich one of you Motor City MFers wants to bet, this one isn't!!!!
This is honestly such a beautiful movie. I’ll never ever get tired of watching it. RIP Brandon Lee 💔
One thing that I notice more after many rewatches and seeing other people react, is that Eric is very playful with his interactions with the police. He doesn't take it seriously, because they aren't who he came back to kill. Such a stark contrast to how absolutely brutal he is with those who molested and killed his wife, and the ones directly involved with them.
I recommend Ernie Hudson again in Ghostbusters. It's a fun series.
One of my favorites! Gets me every time! Thanks for your reaction!
There are 3 sequels, all of them with a different “crow”
The crow: city of angels
The crow: salvation
The crow:wicked prayer
And there is also a new crow movie coming out..
None are worth a watch though. They are all terrible. City of Angels was MAYBE there only one that’s watchable.
@@MrSquadup2 no wicked prayer was the worst one, it depended more on “star power” rather than story writing…
@@MrSquadup2 i enjoyed city of angels. The other sequels are garbo
But nothing beats the original though
City of Angels was fine, but it was just checking 'sequel' checkboxes off. The deaths were more elaborate - almost distractingly so. It was like they were trying to take the first movie and dial it up to 11, sort of like the Final Destination series. It was fine for a revenge action movie, but everything it did the first movie did with more style. When the best thing to come out of the movie is Hole's cover of "Gold Dust Woman"... yeah.
The others didn't even have that much going for them.
“Big Empty” by the Stone Temple Pilots was one of the best tracks, not just for The Crow soundtrack, but one of the best iconic Alt. Rock hits of the 90’s. Listen to it Ash, you won’t be disappointed.
Brandon made about 5 low-budget films. The Crow was his best - the Wachowskis wanted him to play Neo in The Matrix, tragically - but you should also check out Showdown in Little Tokyo (he was the comedic sidekick to Dolph Lundgren, but he EASILY stole the show), and Rapid Fire, which is a decent thriller, but worth it for the AMAZING action scenes. Both father and son died before their time, and if you want to know more about the alleged conspiracy, check out a documentary called Curse of the Dragon, narrated by Star Trek's George Takei. If true, they were killed because petty people don't react well to change or being proven wrong, lol. But legends never die.
Brandon Lee's body double, Chad Stahelski, eventually would go on to direct the first few John Wick films. There are a handful of really good hollywood connections and "What-ifs" from this film. Like, what if Brandon Lee got the role of Neo in the Matrix instead of Keanu Reeves? Where would Keanu's career trajectory had gone? Would Chad Stahelski ever make the leap from stuntman to director? So many connections can be traced backward from John Wick to The Matrix to The Crow
The bar in Rapid Fire is probably my favourite ever fight sequence.
@@viggler ruclips.net/video/bJ8vLI_UPeA/видео.html&ab_channel=TheDanintheHighCastle
Another great Brandon Lee movie is "Showdown in little Tokyo"". Starring alongside Dolph Lundgren, it is one of the great 90's Action/martial arts movies
One of my all time favorite films and glad y’all finally reacted to it. Also a Crow cosplay for Ash would be 🔥
In the comic, they never gave him a name. In the film, they decided to call him Eric Draven - Eric the Raven.
My favorite River Phoenix film is Dogfight, with the fabulous Lili Taylor. Highly recommend it.
Hannah will have to watch Brandon Lee's father in *ENTER THE DRAGON* . Ash has already seen it. 👍
Brandon was shot in the church scene, but they didn't put it in the movie of course. The movie was almost wrapped up, they decided to finish the movie later by using archive shots and some CG.
Anyway, Bruce didn't die on set.
This is now the fourth different scene ive heard that he died in. The pawn shop, funboy, the table scene, and now the church
My understanding is that Brandon was actually shot during the flashback scenes of the attack in the apartment. The actor holding the gun was the guy who played Funboy and he spent the rest of his career riddled with guilt over Brandon's death.
@@ravenstromdans your correct, don't know why people keep saying it's all these different scenes lol, you can easily look it up and find out.
btw that song playing during his moisturizing and makeover session is Burn by The Cure
Hanna you're so adorable! Brandon Lee was one of the best just like his father R.I.P.
One of the best soundtracks ever.
OOoohhh yeees! This is a classic!
This was my favorite childhood film. well this and KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
17:19 I love how excited Ash got when Eric picked up the guitar!!!😂😂🎸🎵❤
You should really watch The Fly (1986), it might be one of few movies that could possibly both summon no-neck-Hannah and be sad enough to make her cry, yet so good that she wouldn't mind.
Also, it stars Jeff Goldblum in arguably the best performance of his career, has some of the best practical effects ever, on par with the The Thing and it won an Oscar for best makeup.
This and the sequel.. I love the sequel
This is my all top tier favourite movie ever even named my son brandon after it absolutely love this movie
Hell yes! I’ve been wanting y’all to react to this one for a while. This movie is great and definitely ahead of its time. From the visuals to the soundtrack, it’s so cool. Brandon Lee did an outstanding job as well 🤘🏽
"Nothing is trivial" was always my favorite quote from this film.... which ranks in my personal top 5 all time favorite/best films
....Brandon lee also was great in SHOWDOWN IN LITTLE TOKYO
And RAPID FIRE.
Bruce Lee was never a dispute how he died, there were some loons ofc, but he always died one way and it was not mystical or some conspiracy theory
Thank you.
Hannah liking the Cure makes her even more adorable than she already was. Lady acknowledges great music straight away 👏 x
The Crow was my brother's favorite movie growing up. The VHS tape is still at our parents house. We were heart broken when we learned the news back then. You remind my brother a lot, Ash, it all started with Bruce for him too 🥰
The Most Popular Crow ever
Jimmy the Raven
Jimmy the Raven was a raven actor who appeared in over 1,000 feature films from the 1930s to the 1950s. He was trained by Hollywood animal trainer Curly Twiford, who found the baby raven in a nest in the Mojave Desert in 1934. Jimmy was known for his exceptional intelligence and was able to perform various tricks, such as typing and riding a small motorcycle.
Jimmy's most notable roles include Uncle Billy’s pet in the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946) and the crow that landed on the Scarecrow in “The Wizard of Oz” (1939). He also appeared in many other films, including “You Can’t Take It with You” (1938), “The Enchanted Valley” (1948), and “Bill and Coo” (1948).
Jimmy's career spanned over two decades, and he worked with many famous directors, including Frank Capra, who cast him in every film he made after 1938. Jimmy's last film was “Three Ring Circus” in 1954, and his subsequent whereabouts and death are unknown. However, it is possible that he was replaced by another raven named Jimmy Jr., as mentioned in an article published in 1958.
Symbolism Hannah 😅❤
The musical score to this movie is one of my favorites. It’s haunting and beautiful and sad all at once.
Michael Massee, the actor playing the bad guy leader, was the unfortunate man who fired the gun that killed Brandon. No one knew there was a fragment of a prop bullet still inside it, and that shrapnel was enough to sever two arteries. Masse took a long sabbatical from acting to deal with what he had accidently done, and even then wouldn't talk about it publicly until 2005.
It was supposed to be the scene where Brandon's character was killed in the apartment, before becoming The Crow.
Can you guys please react to these movies:
* Pearl Harbour (2001)
* The Bodyguard (1992)
* Moulin Rouge (2001)
* Ghost (1990)
* 8 Mile (2002)
* Pretty Woman (1990)
* Notting Hill (1999)
* Titanic (1997)
* Blended (2014)
* A Little Princess (1995)
(if you haven't already seen them of course)
They're amazing films and I think you'd enjoy them ♥️
Definitely 8 mile
8 Mile for sure! I want them to react to 28 Days Later, The Butterfly Effect(since Ash loves symbolisms) and Boondock Saints. Lowkey miss his one friend that showed up every now and again. I think him and his friend would have so much fun watching Dude where’s my car😂
Most of those movies are utter garbage.
@@singbluesilver1973 well not 8 mile
The only good thing about pearl harbour is the song about how bad it is in the team america movie
literally me
Ash, I've got to tell you, this was one of the best if not the best reaction tot his movie I've seen. I really LOVE your passion for Bruce Lee, Brandon and old school action. I love how when you see such movies you really "feel" it with your heart and you're so emotive, that's what being a reaction channel is all about. I love how you notice the small details and comment about it. Honestly I felt the same way towards all these elements you mentioned about the movie like the rain, the guitar, the hair, the make up, everything! I would have liked to be the crow for Halloween too. The ginger is a bit of a ditz for not knowing who Bruce Lee was or not being able to feel the same way about the movie like you do but then I understand her point of view and can't fully blame her. You need to educate her on how Bruce Lee was in detail and even react to a movie of his for her to see. And yes, the Dark Knight movies were inspired from this movie. before there was The Joker, there was The Crow. In fact there were some flop sequels made after this movie but they weren't related. There was even a series made on this movie called The Crow Stairway to Heaven. Its on RUclips. You should research about the lore of the crow. Its based off a comic and the author of the comic too has a tragic story. As a matter of fact there's a new movie on the crow that's coming up. Check out the trailer.
One of my favorite movies of all-time. Thank you Ash and Hannah for this reaction
Finally ❤
