Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee

[faceoffmask.com]

I just watched the crow today for the 100th time. Man it makes me pissed to see what we missed out on. Imagine all the great movies that would of come out from Bruce and Brandon Lee. How do you guys feel about this?

[Rogue]

Hmmm..who's Brendon Lee?

[faceoffmask.com]

WOW!! You have all those post. You might think you would of heard of Brandon Lee. He's Bruce Lee's son. He was in The Crow. If you haven't seen it check it out. Real good movie.

I'm guessing by your name (Rogue) that your a girl. So you might not like the crow. I tried to get my girlfriend to watch it but she won't. But if your into movies you'll most likely like it.:applaud:

[Rogue]

Nice try but I'm not getting into it with you. For your information I've seen the Crow more times than you would have guessed and I never would have referred to him as "Brendon Lee." Trample on the grave a bit more, why don't you? Find someone else to argue with.

No sorry I'm not trying to argue with you. I just come here to talk about movies.

Hmm, snappy.

Anyway, I never was very impressed with Brandon Lee, or The Crow for that matter. I have trouble believing either Lee or The Crow would have ever gained so much popularity had Lee not died on the set. Crappy way to go out, though :(.

It's definitely an acquired taste. However, it's the story that got to me. I think I would have liked it anyway if it had been someone other than Lee.

Are you serious? It's one of the most original and well done scripts ever. Plus it has some of the best performances and cinematography yet. Brandon would've been one of the biggest names ever had he not died filming it.

[Oj]

Yep, I'm serious. I'm all for original scripts... just as long as they're good ones. The cinematography was well done, and the acting was decent, but nothing extraordinary.

Maybe I should try to watch it again, though. I had very high expectations the first time I watched it, so I tended to focus on the negative aspects of it.

[Lachesis]

Mmm. . . good movie. I'm an Alex Proyas fan in general, so color me biased.

The script isn't exactly what I'd call original, but the material was very well handled. First comic book movie where I could actually pick out individual comics panels from some of the scenes. This isn't to say they were being mindlessly faithful, but that they took the original work seriously.

Brandon was great in the role. So sad it had to be his last one.

does anyone know what in the hell rogue is talking about?

[jorich]

Hard to say whether Brandon would have actually gone on to bigger and better things. I'd be interested in hearing if other people think The Crow would have ended up with such a wide following if Lee hadn't died...food for thought.

If you see Brandon in any of his other "B" movies, it definitely casts doubt into any future he would have had.

His dad, on the other hand, would have CONTINUED to be one of the biggest names in cinema history. Best way I can put it is that Bruce actually had success before dying.

When he posted the topic it was "Bruce and Brendon Lee" and he was asking about Brendon Lee. So, I asked, who's Brendon Lee. For someone claiming to know so much about the Lees, he didn't even spell the name right.


And this is my two cents, Brandon had talent, yes, but he wasn't being cast in the type of movies that would give him staying power in the industry. The cult following for the Crow, to some extent from his death, has boosted him into immortality. The Crow was a good movie, but I maintain the opinion that it was the film itself, not the actor, that made it so good. I think with the right casting The Crow would be as popular as it is, with or without Brandon Lee.

Yeah I noticed that he edited the post 5 minutes after you asked the question and then tried to make it look as if you were the person who was wrong.

'The Crow' came out when I was too young to see, but when I did get the chance to see it was fantastic and needless to say I was incredibly impressed with the storyline, as well as the supurb acting of Brandon.

I thought Brandon was a real good martial artist and a decent actor.....given more time his acting skills would most probably have improved and he would have moved on to better roles. I personaly wasn't a big fan of "The Crow", too many dispicable characters and too much cursing for my tastes, and think his death gave it it's legendary greatness.

I thought Bruce had fantastic potential....there was a real presence about him....he would have been a major star.

ah thank you for clarifying, and i agree with you completley, well almost, i dont think anybody could have done the role even close to as well as brandon lee did, and i also think that he could, and would have had a really good career in hollywood, i mean the crow was a very enjoyable movie and people would have still responded (although maybe not quite as strongly) to the movie if he had not died on the set, he was great eventhough the majority of his movies werent and if you watch him in those movies you can see in him just how good he could have been.

WOW!!! I messed up on his name. BIG DEAL! Some of you worry about things you shouldn't. Instead rouge could of posted something like "You spelled his name wrong". I would of then said thankyou and fixed it. But she had to be wise and say " whos Brendon Lee". Also where did I claim to know so much about the Lees. I never said that. Lets try to remeber that not everyone is perfect. I'm only human and I messed up on spelling his name. I'm sure I'll mess up on spelling other things. If it bothers you so much just tell me. I'll fix it no problem.
