Special Classic Vengeance
KINO presents: My Name Is Vengeance

The Crow (1994)

Hoezo in KINO

“He was already dead. He died a year ago the moment he touched her. They’re all dead. They just don’t know it yet.” Long before the comic book movies reigned the box office, The Crow was a surprise hit, back in 1994. This rain-soaked gothic thriller that plays out in a perpetually night–cloaked metropolis was a dark vision not yet restrained by the corporate demands of kid-friendly sky beams and merchandisable IP. Brandon Lee (son of the legendary Bruce) plays a young man that falls victim to a home invasion with his girlfriend, only to return as an angel of vengeance. Brandon himself did not live to see the finished film, as he was fatally wounded by a bullet that should have never been in that revolver used on set. It was the tragic end to a great talent that is reminiscent of Heath Ledger’s fate, who played a similar dark persona lifted from the pages of a graphic novel. English language without subtitles.
