Was going through some old books and came across a book I have about The Crow movie. Began re-reading various parts and was inspired to work on a tribute to Brandon Lee, who portrayed The Crow in the Alex Proyas film in which the star died during filming.

In a bit or tragic irony, Bruce Lee died before completing his fifth film, The Game of Death. The movie was completed, using a stunt double and come crappy special effects involving a photo of Bruce's face super-imposed over a stand-in. The movie was re-written to accomidate the footage already filmed and to include footage of Bruce Lee's actual funeral in Hong Kong. In the new cut of Game of Death, Bruce Lee's character is now an action movie star who is marked for death. A live bullet is inserted into a prop gun during filming of one of his scenes and he is "killed" while filming. His character lives - but is now tracking down those who tried to kill him.

In real life, Brandon Lee was killed accidentally but a live round that was lodged in the barrel of a prop gun during the filming of The Crow, his fifth theatrical film, (not counting tv movies). The odd similarities in these has fueled the belief in a Lee family curse.

Whatever the case, Brandon was a very gifted actor whose career and life were both tragically cut short before we witness all that he would've accomplished. Like Heath Ledger, his last film will be looked at as his best...
