- Actor Brandon Lee may have had a short career as an actor in Hollywood but his breakthrough role as Eric Draven in the dark fantasy film The Crow made him into a legend. His starring role would sadly be his last because he was shot and killed as a result of negligence during filming.
The son of Bruce Lee was only 28 years old when the tragic accident took his life away. After his death, his performance as Eric Draven received high praise and the movie became a cult classic.
But what else is there to know about this actor that was taken away from us too soon? Here is the untold truth about Brandon Lee.

"The Truth....Finally Revealed."
...and then you proceed to reveal NOTHING.
Yeah this is all information we already knew. Looks like they got us.
@@Perfectly_Balanced930 again...
Lol more like a recap
This video should be called "Brandon Lee mini bio and some random facts".
Looper going to "do not show me things from this channel" coming soon
Brandon Lee would’ve went on to make many many more big movies if he’d lived on. He’s missed by many.
Still to this day he is one of my favorite actors. And I watch The Crow and Rapid Fire once a year. I wish I could find Showdown in Little Tokyo.
Mine as well! If you are a Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee fan check out my TH-cam channel.
Indeed he would have! And would have become the biggest super star at that time! Missed he is by many!Are you a Bruce Lee fan as well?
We most likely would have gotten better sequels to the crow. And I imagine he would have had a great career after
Yes as the one that came after the Crow were pretty bad. His film career was about to sky rocket! Are you a Bruce Lee fan as well?
He might have made a pretty good Joker
KXNG KAI then there's the similarities between Brandon and Heath Ledger. Eric Draven and Heaths Joker, both actors died at 28. Entirely different circumstances of their deaths but some similarities can be seen.
KXNG KAI I was just thinking that
Might?
Sting played both the Crow and the Joker.
He would have completely changed the jokers character by making him a fighter on part with Batman. He would not have turned down a good fight with Batman
“Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever”
Amen!
😭😭😭
Yeah! Well! It's can't rain all the time!
@@Tracor3k99 : Damn! That was classic. It brought back memories of that time. Great movie, great soundtrack, and a great guy we lost to soon.
hehehe yes
He was beautiful and amazingly talented..
All these years later and he is still sadly missed..
One of my all time favorite movies..
It's still hard to accept that Brandon Lee died. It's hard to grasp his untimely passing.
Nah he’s pretty fucking dead
@Dem Lem's I remember hearing about this when I was 8 and it was a shocker. Whoever the prop master was he needs to be in jail for taking shortcuts.
Raghu Seetharaman No it’s not, he has been dead for a long time, get over it.
Indeed it is. I am a BIG Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee fan and Collector and Brandon passes on my Birthday March 31st. Sad day for everyone who loved Brandon Lee!
Exactly mate ! :(
I went to the same college, I knew him and my best friend shared an apartment with him in Allston Massachusetts.
He had a full size poster of his father on the ceiling over his bed. He had photographs of celebrities who were famous before age 30 displayed around his room. He was in a hurry to "make it" as soon as possible because, as he often told me, he knew he would be dead before he turned 30. He was one of the most driven and intense individuals I've ever met.
He was indeed reckless, but thankfully talented enough that he will always be remembered.
God blessing thankful for this and wonderfully aware of the individual who plotted with his scheme to kill this beautiful and cool man. He may not have been like his Daddy, but he was himself, and he at least died doing what he loves. So he's at peace and watching over us all. Like gods archangel's son. Immortality in our hearts of those who believe. Thank you.🙏🐧🥇😇🍰🙂❤️😺😇
Like his father, he might have had a vision.
@The Ringo & Monte Show yes I read an autobiography of an ex-girlfriend of his (can’t remember the name of the book or the author) and she mentioned that one night he was very depressed due to watching a video of his father’s funeral. She came over to his place to comfort him and he told her he always thought he would die young. Two years later, that’s exactly what happened. So sad.
@The Ringo & Monte Show Most of us that live reckless lives think that when we're younger. It's not uncommon.
Lies lol
The crow is such a good movie its sad that he passed
Very sad. The movie was very good.
@@rebeccateece9292 it was a very good movie I cried
@@katanablade4747 I did as well 😪
Katana Blade love that movie till this day
lormendi the movie wasnt shit... granted lee's death gave the movie a melancholic tone which instantly overrated it... had lee not been shot dead during the filming, the movie might have passed for 'another decent 90s goth action flick'...
He was going to be a bigger star, than his father... his death, was crushing for so many, including myself. He is deeply missed, and still so beloved.
You mean just as big as his father.
@@ghostblade9322 With all due respect to Bruce, Brandon had the brighter possible future, because of the time and place he was coming up during...
@@insertcolorfulmetaphor8520 you might need to word this differently. Bigger star as in, more critically acclaimed and acting sure, bigger overall impact and star power definitely sits with Bruce. Few people are talked about as long after their death as Bruce.
I disagree with u on this, no way was Brandon going 2 make as a big of an impact as his father Bruce, in the martial arts universe & philosophy & everything else. People talk about Bruce Lee more than Brandon & comparing both of their Kung Fu skills & strategies, father Bruce is way better.
Sooooooo sad and true..... over a period of months the artistic scene lost 3 heavy weight, brando lee, march of 93`- river phonex, october 93`, kurt cobain, april 94, fucking horrible.
Heath Ledger and Brandon Lee give me that same vibe of a Legacy gone too soon....
Sameee
That and Chris Farley
True qnd also paul Walker
River Phoenix, Brandon Lee, Heath Ledger. Every decade has its wonderful actor gone too soon.
Rest in Peace Brandon.
"Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you cannot conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four, or five times more? Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless."
Brandon Lee, River Phoenix, Heath Ledger, Britanny Murphy and so many more young talented actors gone too soon💔
RIP to them all.
Aaliyah

Its been a long long time, I was there. I worked on the crow / part of the crew. and talked to Brandon quite a bit while shooting was going on. Near the end of shooting Brandon truly wanted to finish and go home and marry Eliza . He was a vary good caring person who put all his energy into making the movie. ITs such a shame she lost him and we lost him.
To anyone reading this there's an episode of Unsolved Mysteries that dives deep into the life of Brandon Lee and the chain of events that lead to his eventual death on the set of The Crow, I think it's Streaming on PrimeVideo still and certainly gives more insight than this "reveal" did.
Do I have to purchase primevideo on a smart tv?
@@dootdoot94xo44 no girl
It’s on Hulu
Yea, the powers that be killed this family for fighting for freedom...
Dang tell it animated !! Trash talker lol 😹
I miss Brandon Lee so much and I have watched The Crow many times and I still love it and never get tired of it ;). It’s a timeless classic and Brandon Lee did a memorable and amazing performance :).
RIP Brandon Lee .
Still, one of the BEST soundtracks ever assembled. Wore it out on cassette tape.
It’s one of the few albums where I’ve enjoyed every song.
Also, despite it being pretty bad, the sequel had a good soundtrack as well.
Oh, I recently found somewhere on YT an extended version of It Can’t Rain All the Time (not the Jane Siberry song) from the film. It seems clear it was never intended to be a full length song as it’s pretty short and repeats a lot. They only use a brief part of it in the film.
Totally agree! Did you pick out the new Crow Album the as re-released celebration the 25th anniversary?How long have you been a Bruce and Brandon Lee fan?
Shane Toumey ok send the link
Seriously the best. My sis had the cassette tape.
It can't rain all the time
🖤🖤🖤
Brandon Lee You said it wrong and stole his name. Disgraceful.
AMEN!
"Can't rain all the time"
Eric...?
1) To save money, the film’s weapons safety expert was sent home prior to filming the scene.
2) Actors using prop guns are never to aim the gun directly at the other actor but are instead taught to aim the gun to make it look as if they are aiming at said actor.
3) To save money, the props expert emptied real bullets. Real bullets once opened can sometimes fragment within the gun chamber if improperly handled.
4) The prop gun was never checked prior to filming the scene.
Da real MVP
5) to save money every one got $5 pizza pizza 🍕 and water
And I would add a fifth point, 5) Bruce Lee’s family was tremendously cursed, and the curse sadly passed down to his son...
@@themitickgamer well what's weird is how Bruce Lee had that dream where he saw his name on a grave. And this demon was coming after Brandon and Bruce Lee tried to protect Brandon and it looked like the demon was defeated. But years later Brandon dies at a younger age than his father. I believe that demon represents his family being cursed, and the demon walking towards Brandon represents Brandon eventually dying from murder. It's just weird that even the movie is called "The Crow" and one of the people involved claim the set was haunted.
If I were doing a scene I'd check out the guns myself. I don't trust anyone. Brandon should have done it.
His loss still breaks my heart, what an amazing family. Thank you Shannon for carrying on Bruce and Brandon’s legacy’s; and of course Linda for making it all possible 🙏
With his good looks and pedigree, I just knew Brandon Lee was gonna be a HUGE star. The son of Bruce Lee and a pretty good actor and martial artist in his own right, it was only a matter of time before he became the next big thing. Sadly, just like his dad, he died before the release of the movie that was to be his breakthrough film. As someone who grew up watching his dad, I was heartbroken by Brandon's passing. It honestly pissed me off for a while. How could the Fates take Bruce and Brandon? It just didn't seem fair.
“It can’t rain all the time.”
Crazy just hearing about the Alec Baldwin situation
I immediately thought of Brandon Lee, when I heard about the horrible incident on the set of the movie "Rust".... I NEVER thought this sort of tragedy would ever happen again after Brandon's death. How sad that we seem to never learn...
The Crow... was... is...possibly... one of the greatest films of all time. At the time of its release I was going through some pretty personal stuff. This film played out my emotions in front of me... Brandon's performance left me spellbound and humbled. His memory will live on through me at least... the Lee family... the impact they have had changed cinema as we know it.
Lol
Ben Steward LMFAO
I don't want a "The Crow" Remake ...
Will Ma Gem Too bad.
No one has the gut to make it any way
We’ll just have to see how it turns out with Mamoa....🤔🙄
@@evanabbott2737 noooo
If there is a remake then they should put me in his place. This way atleast there is a resemblance of him
The Crow has been my favorite movie since it came out in 1994. Here it is 2020 and it's still my favorite movie and will remain as such til my dying day. That movie had a huge impact on my life. I will always be sad that Brandon died during the filming of The Crow... I truly believe that he would have gone on to be an A-list celebrity, in my opinion.. he already was!
Same.
The Crow unknowingly inspired both wrestler Sting and Heath Ledger's joker. Also, that's not Roger Ebert at 11:18.
In a televised interview, shortly before his death, he made a statement that he had been investigating his father's death, and he had found out what actually happened. Then the "accident" happened.
No
@@garthleadon8483 not a conspiracy guy. That's cool.
Bingo you hit it on the nose. He was outright murdered. So was his dad.
Interesting......
@@roverman985 Ah, a tinfoil hat wearer.....
I've never been to Seattle but if I ever do I will make sure to stop by the cemetery and pay my respects to Brandon and his father.
Shaun Bloom 2 beautiful headstones, pretty cool actually.
I was there a few years ago but never had a chance to go there. I've got to find the cemetery again. I went by it but never in it
Went there about 2 years ago. People occasionally leave flowers. It's nice to know they aren't forgotten.
It’s worth it. My uncle took me when I went
I went two months ago. Definitely worth it. It's a wonderful place to visit.
There is never “the truth” revealed in these videos.
🖐️🖕
Every "Truth about" video NEVER does reveal anything new
Jon Gard well... truth is pretty much set in stone at this point... so yea, they didnt really reveal anything all that ‘new’.. but they definitely covered the truth of the matter.. right?
Click B
Loving the St Johnstone football club pic. My home town Perth ;)
Brandon Lee, you will never be forgot by me. Rest is peace. You did a great job in this movie and you will never be forgot.
I watch The Crow every single Oct 30. I bawled when Brandon died. This film is just incredible!
you sure watch all the crow fan films and put all of them on a dvdr disc make more of them to sell on eBay.also make a time machine to goes to the past to save Brandon lee life if you save brandon lee life why saved his father life too.
The Crow would have been so much different a movie if he had not died...they made it as a tribute to him, and it is an incredible film. I remember where I was when I had heard he had died...crazy
Me too 😃
Learn Gematria and see through the Lies and propaganda
@@andrewgraham9071 What are you on dude?
I remember sitting with my mother as a young child in a theater about to watch the premiere release of the crow. Then as the theater deemed the lights before rolling out the film they announced the tragedy of Brandon Lee’s death on set while filming. The theatre audience began to sob.
Brandon was extremely believable in his roles. He basically was his roles.
As an avid fan, I have no problem pointing out you revealed absolutely nothing that was not already known...
Just watched The Crow for the first time in a while. Crazy how influential it was- Joker portrayals, The Matrix, mainstream Ultra-violent gritty-- noir feeling of Sin City
I always seem to forget how truly handsome and charismatic Brandon Lee was until I see photos or videos of him again. I remember being really sad when I heard the news. The Crow was a decent flick.
I think it was an incredible flick. But I think mostly because how it struck me and mayne hownit was based off the graphic novel and how well it was turned into a movie. Even my sons name is draven. Sont get me wrong I can see its not perfect. I wasnt a fan of a few parts. Even the judge being cut from the movie. In fact when you see the electrical tape around his hands was to tape up a wound the judge wouldn't let him self heal. Because he strayed from the path to help Sara when his only job was to seek revenge
Well he had good genes his father was a good looking fellow and his mother was cute.
R.I.P Brandon Lee
Damn when he talks he sounds a bit like Keanu Reeves 😮
Thanks! I couldn't place who he was reminding me of. You are spot on.
Suncica Cinglak very similar ethnicity
Keanu took alot of inspiration from lee
No he doesn't
Damien Lu dude it was just an opinion. Subjective ya know...It’s fine if u disagree we can still be friends👍
Loved watching Brandon in the Crow.Sad movie, not just the story but also knowing that it was his final film.
27 years later still a fantastic movie,such a talented family
Rapid fire great movie wish he was still around rip Brandon lee
hi frank
@@zx45zx "Pop Tarts....more Pop Tarts...."
Rapid Fire was the SHIT!!!!!
Showdown in Little Tokyo was great as well.
The Crow is one of my all time favorite movies .Cant picture anyone else but Brandon Lee .He made that movie his own .I remember the controversy surrounding this film and it took years to sort out but i think everyone made the right choice by finishing it .It seems Brandon would of wanted it that way .Was standing right behind Jon Polito at 4th street promenade in Santa Monica coming out of a movie just before his passing .I was geeking hard and about to tell him how much i love the crow when my ex stopped me .One of the many reasons she is my ex .THE END
The clips in this are very wrong with what the narration is talking about.
When talking about his Hong King film, you show clips of The Crow.
When talking about Ernest Borgnine, you show Dolph Lundgren.
Not very professional.
He just has a play list of videos and he talks while they come ediot
Yes these guys are always off with their reporting.
“I have something to give you. “ I don’t want it anymore. “Thirty hours of pain all at once, all for you.”
I can honestly say that "The Crow" and what happened to Brandon changed my perspective on life. Such a perfectly preventable freakish tragedy. What a waste, such potential. He had it all.
I'm a huge fan of Brandon and Bruce, my daughter's name is Draven Athena, and once she's old enough I'll have her watch The Crow and introduce her to everything I've learned from their teachings and their interviews. Truly amazing people.
Check out Shannon's web site where she shares a lot of info and wisdom about Bruce Lee and the family.
@@candywilliams3533 ok ty
Thank you for this in-depth & very meaningful essay/ documentary.
The Crow is one of my favorite movies!
He was murdered thats all there is to it.
And not playing his dad is very understandable.
Got any proof to go with that claim?
He wasn’t murdered at all why would anyone murder someone that was making them money? It was an on set accident caused by making their own blanks and too many late nights.
TheRogueSquid same reason they murder his father to destroy bruce lees legacy
@@fnmass562 somebody lose their tinfoil hat?
@woooudo pretty fancy way to say you're a simpleton that jumps from conspiracy to conspiracy because your life lacks any real meaning. 🤔
He will always be remembered
Brandon Lee was and still is a badass!
The Crow will always be one of my favorite movies of all time
I still am devistated and what happened to Brandon,another person that was taken too early.I still think it was a bit suspect how a live round ended up in where a blank should have been. Such a loss
I just watched The Crow again Last Night. To me, it's a Dark Masterpiece of love, Grief, Revenge. A very powerful movie. I'm Sad Brandon's life ended there, I think he was on his way to becoming a bigger Film Star than his Father had he not died on the set of the Crow. Thanks for the good albeit The title is misleading but it's a good video on Brandon Lee, . He is a star I never want to be forgotten.
So sad. Such a talented actor life cut short due to others' carelessness.
No he was murdered by the same people that killed his father
No... he accidentally shot himself thinking there was a blank in the gun!!
No he didnt shot himself the guy that played Fun Boy accidentally killed Brandon by a blank bullet that was supposed to be a blank an a piece of the bullet fragment was the reason for his passing
I feel like someone put a real bullet in the gun on purpose
They kinda did. The production crew decided to "save money" by making their own props. When they made dummie bullets they didn't set off the primers which have enough energy to put a bullet cap into the barrel of a gun. Then a blank round sends that jammed bullet at about 70% power which is more than lethal. He died of other peoples incompetence.
Such a evil thing to do. He was a amazing actor. The film was so good and sad 😪
@Sir Sim, Esquire they did 🤔
Ah, modern society where facts don't matter but people's opinions and "feelings" reign supreme. And because you "feel" that it must be true huh? Another product of a conspiracy theory society lead by the conspiracy theorist in chief I suppose. How sad.
@@ross-carlson that is so sick to do that too him 🤨
Anytime that gun was used it should have been cleaned and made sure it wasn't loaded or damaged I don't give a shit how cheap the freaking production is its basic safety with any firearms
Brandon Lee's performance as The Crowe really must had influenced Heath Ledger's performance as The Joker.
Does the character of "Eric Draven" reminds anybody of Heath Ledger's Joker. Both characters are dark and ironically both actors suffered same fate after giving a mind blowing performance.
And both died at their peak . Tragic. The prop gun accident should've never happened- it was a non-Union set,no dedicated prop/weapon master was there on-set, no one checked it after it was passed around and played with ...Sad
Nope. Heath is overrated as fuck.
Hassan Zameer Nope.
Ichigo Kurosaki There a difference of acting styles between hollywood and japanese film industry. Are you saying from that standard?
@@hazaonly no I'm saying if heath was still alive people wouldn't be on his dick like they are. He was a good thug but not a good joker
Wow. Murphy's Law was in full effect on production of The Crow.
Aside from Brandon's heartfelt performance, the soundtrack was great too.
I’m saddened every time I see this story. I love ❤️ the crow and miss what could have been. RIP Brandon Lee. 🤜🤛
This is a good one, I love it !
J. O. Barr wrote the comic in memory of his best friends death. It was a brilliant comic before they made into a movie. The story has been changed yet the gothic feel of the comic is captured by Brandon in the movie. This movie is one of my all time favourites. Every time I see it, it makes me cry!!!
somebody should have called OSHA 20 times.
This was very insightful, well done Looper crew.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing.
This story breaks my heart. Special men taken before their time. God Bless the Lee
Family.
I used to make music videos, just for fun(I'd be hit with Copyright strikes like a mofo these days)… but I used footage from The Crow and paired it with Metallica's "Unforgiven", and it was a masterpiece. I no longer have the VHS tape it was on, so I'm going to attempt to recreate it, but obviously I won't be able to upload it to TH-cam. Still, I'm going to remake it. When I showed it to people(back in the late 90s/early 2000s), most people thought it was a European Import never shown in the US. Yeah, it was that good, and I'm very proud of it.
It was made as a tribute to Brandon Lee, as I love him in that movie, and the story worked very well with that music.
Man I wonder what movies this guy would have went on to make. What other action stars would he have co-starred with? Today he would be 54.
when ever i hear the story of brandon lee i get emotional. i still cant believe all that stuff went down on set, and today i still cant believe he's dead. R.I.P as always Brandon Lee and his Father Bruce Lee.
Rest In Peace and Power Brandon and Bruce. Gone, but never forgotten~
I have a special connection to this film since the first time that I saw it.
I plan on getting a tattoo of it.
R.I.P. Brandon Lee. 😢🖤
Thank you for that respectful treatment of Brandon Lees story. I really appreciate it.
Thanks for this.
I am huge Brandon Lee fan. I have seen everything that he has acted in
How about Laser Mission? The movie with no missions or lasers?
Me too I have unsigned photo of him on my book shelf
I spent a lot of time working on the backlot at Screen Gems doing grip and stunt crew jobs in the 90s (not on the Crow though). The first film after the accident on the backlot stage where he died was an industry for a Swedish company about mental health in the workplace. It was surreal, everything was painted up bright colors and we had picked up like 15 brightly colored Hyundai(s) to line the "street" but it was all on the opposite side of the backlot stage where his accident happened. Everyone spoke in hushed tones about it. It seemed like the darkness had overtaken that part of the lot. It's a strange place, that backlot. That's why most "city street" filming moved either to Southport or to downtown Wilmington. I never saw the final of the industry film. I can't imagine how it all translated.
Why did I watch this? It just makes me sad all over again remembering how one of my favorite action stars met his end too soon :(
The Crow is my favorite movie of all times. There is no one and I mean No One can replace Brandon Lee. R.I.P. Brandon Lee and Bruce Lee.
Michael Jackson as... the Crow? As-as The Crow? I don't even.... I
wat
I had the same reaction when it was said. "I'm sorry...WHAT?!?! You did NOT just say that!" In all the years since, that's the first I've heard of that and I never want to hear it again!
" It can't rain all the time, shamone! "
So they could digitally insert Lee's face for pick ups, but they didn't choose to use digital gun-fire. Seems very strange to use blanks in a gun (by today's standards). Imagine an on-set prop gun just being a real gun with blanks - seems crazy.
LOVE THE MUSIC. KEEP IT UP.
Everything we knew already.
Everytime I hear about all the horrors of filming The Crow the more I think that something or someone did not want them to film that movie.
Damn he looks just like his dad r i p to both of them
The weird part is that in game of death there's a scene where bruce lees character gets shot on the set of chinese connection by a gunman working for an acting mob then the crow came out and Brandon met the same fate. There is no accident there.
Looper can you finally share the music to your vids .. geez I love this track
;-; I still have the Crow movie and comic. Love this to death and Brandon Lee will always be in our hearts
I'm still waiting for the reveal
no idea why i got inspired tonight to re-examine the memories of the unique echo's of Bandon Lee i had in the 90's
My sons name is draven.... amd not from league of legends but from Brandon's portrayal of eric draven. Thank you Brandon for everything you gave to me
RIP Brandon Lee
Without crow we have no joker from dark knight.🧐
Not even close
Still my favorite film of all time. I will always get shivers whenever I watch it. Not to mention swooning!🖤🖤🖤
"it can't rain all the time"....i live by that saying
Crazy I thought it was the joker.
Anyone here after the Alec Baldwin incident?
Hard to believe he passed away on my birthday as I was turning 1 yrs old. But I love all of his movies, his dad's biography movie the dragon one. I have the shirt of Brandon it's says "this girl loves Brandon Lee ". It's sad that such great men were taken away too soon. RIP Bruce and Brandon Lee
I still remember as a kid being very sad about the news of his passing, I loved rapid-fire and the crow! He was about to become a huge star! R.I.P Brandon!!
