READING NOW Details of the Tragic Event on the Set of ‘The Crow’

On the set of the movie, Brandon Lee, who was shot in the back with a bullet from a pistol that was thought to be empty, was only 28 years old when he died. What happens behind the scenes of this information, which is also known to those who have not watched the movie, makes the event much more tragic.

The film tells the story of Eric, who is brought back to life after Eric Draven and his lover are killed by a group of vagrants, and tries to avenge his lover.

This unfortunate event in which Brandon Lee died took place on March 31, 1993.

Brandon was the son of famous actor Bruce Lee and his American wife, Linda Lee Emery.

Even though he was in sophomore fighting movies before The Crow, this movie would be a great opportunity for him. Undoubtedly, his father, Bruce Lee, was the reason he played in fighting movies.

Unfortunately, the picture of happiness in the photos did not last long. Brandon lost his father when he was 8 years old.

Bruce Lee died due to the effect of a painkiller given by his friend while the film was still being shot. It was discussed for a long time whether the death of Bruce Lee, who died at the age of 32, was dubious.

Brandon, like his father, would die as a result of neglect at a young age.

He was taken to the hospital 30 minutes after the accident, the operation took 5 hours, but he could not be saved due to too much blood loss.

His fiancee, Eliza Hutton, received the sad news when she arrived at the hospital.

They were only 17 days away from their marriage.

His character, Eric Draven, was also killed while he was engaged.

This event took place 6 days before the end of the shooting, which will last for 58 days. The scene where he was shot was repeated about 70 times, if it had been repeated just one less, Brandon might be with us today.

The bullet came from the pistol fired by Michael Massee, who played the character of Funboy.

Although he did not have a mistake, the player, who suffered a great trauma, could not return to the sets for 1 year. He never watched The Crow.

The film’s production studio told freelance gunsmith James Moyer that he was no longer needed and that the “propeller master” could handle the rest of the scenes. This shows how much negligence is in question.

In addition, the moment of death is not in the movie, it was destroyed with the conclusion of the case.

After the approval of his fiancee Eliza Hutton and his mother, the film was completed and published with CGI support.

According to his friends; Before this movie, Brandon said he felt he was going to die like his father one day.

What he said in his last interview, where he talked about the book and movie “The Sheltering Sky” 12 days before the accident, is also quite interesting:

He says, “How many times can you remember an afternoon that has deeply affected your life? When I watch the movie, I go to a summer evening, years ago, when I read the book on the balcony; how many times can I remember that evening? Still, everything seems to be endless. Yet how quickly it wears out. . . . ”

Brandon Lee’s grave is located next to the grave of his father, Bruce Lee. Those words that he talked about in his last interview and knew by heart are now written on his tombstone.

This line from The Crow movie always brings Brandon to mind:

“If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to make them live long is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but true love is immortal . . . “
