"The
Crow"

|
Perhaps
one of Michael Wincott's best known movies, The Crow
found cult status in the early nineties, not least of all because of the
untimely death of Brandon Lee during its filming.
Michael Wincott's character is the ruthless Top
Dollar, boss of the city's most notorious gang. Back from the dead
Eric Draven (Brandon Lee) is determined to exact his revenge on the
gang members who killed his beloved fiance Shelley. On Devil's Night this
brings him into conflict with Top Dollar and his half-sister Myca (Bai
Ling), which ends in bloodshed in a local church.
