2022-11-10 17:16:22 +0000 UTCLoved this movie when I saw it in a theater. I was young but I was lucky they built one the first 10 theater multiplexes in my town right up the street from me, 3 dollar matinees, and our parents didn't mind my friends and me spending a lot of our time and allowance money there. Good times. Also, had to buy the soundtrack, not really grunge, only band I'd say were considered "grunge" was probably Stone Temple Pilots, even though they were from San Diego not Seattle. But it had so many great songs from The Cure, RATM, Helmet, Rollins Band, Ministry, a badass Nine Inch Nails cover of a Joy Division song, more I can't even remember off the top of my head. I could be wrong but I remember hearing that those bands joined the project after hearing about Brandon Lee's death. Sad, he definitely would have had a bright future I think.

2022-11-08 05:57:50 +0000 UTCI'll just copy/paste from below...... No, the scene he tragically died filming was him entering his home with a bag of groceries when they were raping and killing his girlfriend (not used in the film). The only person that fired at him in said scene was Michael Massee (Funboy), who was essentially traumatized for life from the incident. It was a pickup shot in the final days of filming, but sadly the armorer had left for the day and the crew decided to go through with it anyway. The gun that was used had been used in a previous scene weeks earlier with primer only rounds (rounds where the powder was removed but the primer and bullet were kept in the cartridge to simulate the look of real ammunition), and the compression from the primer was enough to push the bullet (.44 caliber) into the barrel. When the gun was used again later in the fatal scene, it was loaded with a blank round, but the armorer never checked the barrel for obstructions after the previous scene weeks earlier and wasn't on set. The crew sadly didn't know any better and were in a rush to get the shot. It was fired from roughly 12-15 feet away. The compression from the blank load teamed with the lodged bullet in the barrel was essentially like firing a normal fully loaded round. It struck Brandon in the right side of the abdomen, logged near his spine, and he died later at the hospital. The scene was later restaged and reshot without Brandon, and the images where you can see Lee’s face were remade through digital processing, adding his face to a double.

2022-11-08 00:33:21 +0000 UTCI love this movie! Been watching it since I was 5 years old. Revenge stories were always my favorite. Especially in this story because what happened to them was just so horrific. Brandon Lee died when they were filming the scene at Fun Boys place where he was shooting him while he told the joke. It’s crazy how all that happened. Basically some debris fell into the barrel somehow and the gunpowder from the blank round launched the debris into him. They unfortunately couldn’t get him to the hospital fast enough. They are some scenes that got cut because they couldn’t film anymore to make sense of them. Some of the film/photos are on the internet. Makes me appreciate the movie was put together as it is. Because it would have been silly with the extra stuff. This movie really encapsulates the 90’s. Also amazing cinematography and scoring. Very under-rated movie. Also Crow City of Angels is set around Day of the Dead so it’s a good November pick lmao
