    We dove back into the Dolph Lundgren pool this week, and brought along Brandon Lee and Tia Carrere. Legendary SBIG director, Mark L. Lester made this glorious movie that's full of everything a piece of entertainment needs. Gunfights, fistfights, bewbs, and terrible dialogue abound.

    "Because of being my dad's son... TOTALLY... SOLELY being my dad's son, I've had the opportunity to be in a lot of stupid action movies I've turned down."
    - Brandon Lee
    Thank you so much for viewing this cult classic! Brandon was capable of so much more than the typical dime-a-dozen action star, but this was the only way for him to get his foot in the door to make a name for himself in that era that craved another "Bruce Lee." The Crow was the only film where Brandon was not only appreciated as an actor but respected as such. To this very day, I am still his biggest fan.

I seem to recall several nods to Jeet Kune Do in many of the fight scenes, which at the time was fairly unique (this was well before FMA became a favorite martial art style for action flicks) and a nice tribute to Bruce.

    The body double for Tia Carrere was Tera Tabrizi. She did a few movies and Playboy appearances. It's funny Tia wanted a double because she went on to do Playboy herself at some point.
    Brandon had done the Kung Fu tv movie and a few other things by this point in his career. Always kind of hammed it up, but this was especially hammy. He got better though, did better in Rapid Fire the following year and of course in his last role as Eric Draven in The Crow.
    I think Brandon was great in The Crow in part because his character had no limits and he approached it that way. He said to one interviewer something like "You tell me how somebody who's coming back from the dead is gonna behave?"

Dolph ain't lyin' either, lol. If he did manage to hit Brandon, he wouldn't know what hit him. He broke Sly Stallone's jaw in Rocky 4.

The difference between Brandon and Dolph's dialogue is that Brandon's supposed to be the wisecracking partner in the buddy cop duo and the wisecracks just suck....at least until we get to THAT line, which is probably the most unintentioally hilarious line of dialogue I've ever heard in any movie ever.

    So I just discovered the Big Dick line was actually supposed to be “I want you to know, you have the biggest dick I have ever seen on a White Man” it was edited by the studio to remove the word White. I can omit assume I’m an effort to make the line less offensive to white or black people, but ultimately it only made the line more weird and I don’t think it would have been the most offensive thing about that movie anyways. Still one of the best classics weird action movie lines I can remember!

If you liked this movie, I would recommend for you Rapid Fire (1992) from Brandon Lee. That movie is awesome too. But if you want to watch a devastatingly horrible stuff from him, then watch Laser Mission (1989). That movie will burn your brain out. :-D

Dolph holds a 4th degree blackbelt in Kyokoshin Karate (which unlike Segal's bullshido, is a legit marital art) and was a European karate champion prior to being in film. He isn't just a big dude, he's a real fighter who put Stallone into the hospital during the Rocky 4 filming.

    For those wondering, Tia Carrere is still acting - she's tended to do bit parts in stuff, usually only appearing in one or two episodes or as a smaller role in films. Her biggest recent role was as a regular in AJ and the Queen, a Netflix series from 2020 that was cancelled after one season.
    Fun fact: she's been in both Scooby-Doo and Tom & Jerry, as well as all four Lilo and Stitch films.
