was in the works I’ve had a bad feeling about it. I’ve kept meaning to write a piece with a title proclaiming that “A Remake Of ‘The Crow’ Is Sacrilege” because it really is, no matter how good the end product ends up being—though I doubt this one will be very good.that’s one piece of that decade’s cinematic puzzle. Goth neo-noir meets straightforward revenge flick meets comic book sensibilities. It’s darkly funny at times.
Of course, Lee was killed during the film’s production when an improperly made dummy round was fired into the actor. The film was finished with stunt doubles and special effects, and it’s become a major cult classic. Given Brandon Lee’s death—he was just 28, four years younger than his father, Bruce Lee, was when he died—a remake has always felt ghoulish. But even beyond that, some films are just so entirely perfect that a remake can never hope to live up to the original.
In the original, Michael Wincott was cast as the villain, Top Dollar, a vampiric crime lord just oozing charismatic evil, alongside Bai Ling as Myca. Danny Huston appears to be the big bad in this one, though it’s not entirely clear. Huston is a fine actor and is often typecast as a sort of corporate bad guy, but there’s just no comparison.
reboot will be better than those three, but it’s still an abomination—and not the good kind, the kind that come back from the dead for revenge.
