Eric Draven...

ERIC DRAVEN


(please log in to view the image)


Eric Draven, the protagonist of The Crow, was murdered the night before his wedding along with Shelly Webster, his fiancée. One year later from the night of his murder, Eric is brought back from the dead by supernatural forces, represented solely by a crow. He slowly regains his memories of what happened and who he once was, soon after deciding to take revenge on those who were involved in his and his fiancée's murders. He cannot die, and has superhuman powers allowing him to be relatively stronger and faster than an average human. After killing the men who were involved in the murders, Eric goes after their leader known as Top Dollar. Whilst pursuing him in a church, Top Dollar's mistress attempts to kill the crow once discovering that it is the source of Eric's powers. Her eyes are subsequently pecked out, but in the process the bird is shot. Eric is no longer immortal. Soon after, there is a fight scene between Top Dollar and Eric who is victorious in the end. Afterward, he crawls to Shelly's grave and her angel descends, presumably to take him. He disappears, ending the film. Throughout the majority of the film, his face is painted all white with black lining his eyes and lips, sometimes referred to as "crow face" by fans. It is modeled after a theatrical mask depicting an expression of deep sorrow, which Eric found by Shelly's makeup in their old apartment when he returns after being resurrected.


The Avenger, the Killer of killers.....

Wonder what film RJ has just watched?

In all seriousness though, great character. I wonder if this film would still have the status it does if Brandon Lee hadn't died though.

Haven't seen it in ages, but it's one of my all time faves. Definitely in my top five of all time.

If Lee hadn't died, I seriously doubt the film would have had such a huge following.

LOL Jaden.

I dunno RJ.... I thought it was exceptional enough to warrant the recognition in its own right. As the movie is a genuine favorite of mine, thats why I dont think that the death of Lee was why it was what made it what it was.

I mean this wasnt the Dark Knight were are talking about here.
Once all the crying over Heath Ledger had become less fashionable, we were left with an overlong clunky-arse movie where the main character grunts nigh on incoherantly whenever he puts on his mask.

And that "You know how I got my scars" bullshit wore thin the first 37 times it was repeated in the 1st showing of the movie. Its unbearable and cringeworthy now.

The Crow FTW

I'm not saying the movie isn't epic, obviously it IS epic, but I know for a fact that there are people out there who watched it just because they heard Lee died filming it, My sis, my cousin, my ex from that time, here friend, etc;

Dead on about TDK..."You wanna know how I got these scars?"

"Who gives a shit? Wanna know where I got this GUN?"
