The cult classic film, The Crow, follows the story of Eric Draven, a man who comes back from the dead to execute the gang who murdered him and his fiance. Director Alex Proyas gave the film a distinctive gothic look similar to the empire of the original “Batman” movies. Unfortunately, however, during filming there was a tragedy which cost a member of the main cast his life. Brandon Lee - son of Bruce Lee - played the character of Eric Draven. During shooting, Lee was shot and killed while filming a scene in which his character was shot and killed. This scene was removed and instead, Draven is thrown to his death from a window.

In the scene, Michael Massee fires a .44 Magnum revolver at Lee as he enters the room to find his girlfriend being beaten and raped by the gang. The gun had been loaded with blank rounds which feature a live powder charge and primer but no bullet. However, earlier in the day the crew had created their own dummy cartridges by dumping the powder charge from live rounds and then reinserting the bullets. Somebody then left the live primer at the rear of the cartridge. This caused the bullet to be fired with the same force as a live round. Lee was shot in the abdomen. He was rushed to the New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, North Carolina, where he died from his injuries.

Following his untimely death, another $8 million was added to the $15 million budget so that the film could be completed. Portions of the film had to be rewritten and scenes were added by using computer graphics. The Crow was subsequently tainted as being the movie in which Brandon Lee tragically lost his life. Despite the tragedy, it swiftly became a cult classic, grossing over $50 million in the US on its release.
