Schow and John Shirley, and was starring Brandon Lee.It was Brandon Lee's final film appearance before his death on March 31, 1993. It was a based on the 1989 comic book of the same name by James O'Barr.In the Late 90's KBC Tv aired The Crow Show till the episode where Brandon Lee met his death. It was speculated by viewers(Myself then a teenager) that the death of The Crow was as a result of the paranormal activities displayed in the show.
While filming the last sets of the show, Lee was fatally wounded when a dummy bullet, which had lodged in one of the prop guns, was shot into his abdomen by a blank cartridge accidentally.(I still don't believe that..The Crow was not your normal Tv show).After sustaining the '"accidental??" gunshot wound,he was taken to an area hospital, where he later died.
