I was there opening weekend 30 years ago when The Crow debuted in theaters. Like most everyone, I was aware that the film's rising star, Brandon Lee, had died tragically during an accidental shooting in the midst of production. I haven't seen the film since, so now that there's a new version of the film out this weekend, it seemed like a good time to revisit the original, which still holds up. My appreciation of Lee is up at Rolling Stone.
