The Crow starring Brandon Lee became a cult classic due to its signature style and the tragic, untimely death of Brandon Lee. But it’s bee 30 years, so it’s time to remake it, right? Right?
The Crow definitely raises some questions. Like did anyone want this movie? Why are we spending so much time on this relationship? How is their love so powerful after what seemed like a weekend together?
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to The Crow.

This _Pitch Meeting_ has been watched by more people than the _Crow_ remake, and deservedly so.
That's true. Because there is no "remake".
The Crow (2024) is a re-adaptation of the original graphic novel, not a remake of Brandon Lee's film.
@@treylester5361 thanks, Captain obvious. No matter what you call it, it's a terrible movie not worth anyone's time.
more people watched this pitch meeting within 30 minutes than Concord had players in two weeks
I found out there was a Crow reboot by watching this pitch meeting
The view count went up by over 1,000 in the time it took me to type this.
"There's just no way to know what I meant by this" is one of the best Pitch Meeting lines of all time.
"Who's to say while people do what they do?"
"You?"
"Wow, that would be weird, wouldn't it?"
@@GrasslanderCould you tell me from which pitch this line is?
@aleksanderzaremba9695 It's from the Pitch Meeting for "The Acolyte", which is a fantastic episode.
@@coyoteone6197 the only time "The Acolyte" and "fantastic episode" have been in the same room together lol
@@betrayalz84 Ryan's Pitch Meeting manages to be the best episode of The Acolyte 😄
This is as close as im getting to watching it
I'm sure more people will watch this PM instead of the actual movie.
Not watching an UNNECESSARY remake is TIGHT! 😂
Probably
The same, as a person with a few goth friends, I'll just share this vid and save them the hassle of getting annoyed.
Too soon? ,lol.
Watching a remake of the Crow would be too hard, too frustrating. But a Pitch Meeting on it? Super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Oh really?
Couldn’t agree more. These guys deserve views and i want the crow to fail. I need directors to learn a goddamn lesson.
Wow!
Wow wow wow.
There's no way to tell what you meant by that!
😃
City of Angels was a pretty decent sequel. It's as good as a crow movie without Brandon Lee is ever going to be.
That's not true. It could be done. Just not by modern Hollywood
Yea yea
Remember in the original Crow where Eric was a genuine good person who loved his fiancé, basically adopted a young girl who had a bad home life, and stopped to pet his cat when he returned from the dead?
Yeah let’s do none of the things that made Eric Draven likeable in the first place and make him an emo drug addict who goes on a rampage and traumatizes a bunch of innocent people for literally no reason because he’s “damaged”
Apparently IMDB and Wikipedia credit Skarsgard as "Eric / The Crow"
No mention of the name Draven, so let's just sweep this over to the other pile with the other failed Crow films.
Eric Draven, "Mother is the name of God on the lips of every child", as he squizzes the heroin out of her arm.
Yeah, the original with the whole "Mother is God on the lips and hearts of all children" while magic-ing the drugs out of her veins and this shit-pile makes them junkies. Brilliant.
I remember they screwed up the comic, yes.
@@splatypus-8573 Not like this piss - poor excuse of a remake was any closer.
Not seeing a movie in theaters but watching the pitch meeting for it the moment it comes out is tight!!!
It's super easy, barely an inconvenience.
@@lennierofthethirdfaneofchu7286Oh, really?
real so real
Ryan George is tight! 😏
It's crowin time!!
Love the fact that when you do movies where like 6 people total saw it you don't even bother with the "potential spoilers" at the start.
You can only have spoilers if there is an actual plot
I noticed that, too. He did the same thing with Cats.
The movie itself is the spoiler. 😂
Spoiler:
The lead character becomes the Crow.
I noticed that with the Borderlands movie as well.
Over the years, Ryan has truly made some epic sacrifices for all of us. Think of all the awful movies he's not only sat through, but painstakingly studied and taken notes on. He's truly a hero. Thank you for watching this so that none of us had to.
He only watched one episode of Velma before making a video about it. And then he doesnt address ANY of the issues with LIttle Mermaid or Barbie. Like he can point out problems in Home Alone, which Universal made their own movie about, Violet NIght, but Ryan cant address issues in 2023 films that are high IP?
A hero. Not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed. Nothing less than a knight.
Watching these movies is super easy! Barely an inconvenience!
2:53 I like how screenwriter guy did such a good impression of a 8 year old boy trying to describe a superhero.
😂😂😂😂
* 2:34
It was so on point
To be fair, m 8-year-old nephew is far, far more convincing.
I am glad I was not the only one thinking this XD
Dude got brought back from the dead and told "you love this girl more than any man has ever loved someone who was killed" and then immediately starts thinking "huh... maybe I don't like her that much" 😂
They really get it right in the comic...you really feel the love and sorrow come off the page. Also the comic was completely hand drawn and lettered. no computers used at all. pure poetry.
@@guthax30if only they could have faithfully adapted it
I think the movie was trying for "I love her but I didn't know she murdered someone" (which is all the video shows) and that was supposed to be enough doubt.
The fact that she was judged to be deserving of damnation never entered into it for him - remember she never told him he gave "innocent" souls to the Devil.
Post-nut clarity. It happens.
@@robotrix Yeah, I get the attempt there, and it had potential, I think - it was like a "would you still love the girl you do if you found out something horrible from her past" situation ...the problem is, they should have introduced them as a couple who had been together for awhile and made it something that she had hidden from him.. because as is, it just comes across like he's on a drug fueled rampage over a girl he spent the weekend with. Which, I guess they were doing a "love at first sight" thing, but that's just so disconnected from the audience, and has always been an underwhelming way of doing things...
I love how the writer describes the plot like an indecisive teenage fanfic writer, it captures the movie’s vibe perfectly.
And how he explains Vincent's powers like a toddler 🤣
The movie is like someone recorded all the conversations about relationships at Hot Topic for a day and transcribed it.
elementary school but yes
It sounds like a 5 year old explaining a story.
Which… makes a lot of sense.
Honestly a lot of hollywood writers these days are worse writers than teenage fanfic writers
These Pitch Meeting videos are invaluable for any wannabe fiction writer. The lesson is, you just can't get away with bad character development and plot holes and hope that no-one notices. Made me look at my own work. Thank you.
Producer guy asking if this remake is necessary. A new low has been reached by Hollywood.
I'm surprised they didn't change the main character to a non binary black lesbian
Man get off it @@JoeyP946
@@JoeyP946that's really all you can think to say huh
@@bangeranginretroman3064 Funny, right?!?!
I test screened this movie and everyone that did the review after it was over with the studio people said no one asked for this movie to be made and they were like YES THEY DIIIDDDDDD. We were all like 😮😮😮😮 WHO??????
Eric Draven (1994): Romantic soul, former metal guitar player, long-term-relationship with the love of his life, returns from death to get justice, heals a drug addict and stands for ideals like fighting for justice, against drugs and love conquers all. A gothic icon of the 90s.
Eric Draven (2024): Drug-using Gangster that goes on a killing spree for a girl he just met, only to doubt himself and sell his soul for badass powers, ending up killing and traumatizing people unjustified. This... actually makes him a bad guy at the end of the movie, then causing a weird time-jump that completely makes the plot irrelevant because it never happened?
Spot on I'm afraid. 😢
This movie is an absolute slap in the face of the original. Clearly the director had no knowledge of the original character and just decided to do his own shitty thing. Kinda the same as what's happening with most remakes and sequels these days.
@@daedalus25Is knowledge of the original required these days when making movies?
@@richtes no. Just a true hatred for people who love movies.
@@billhicks808 I can understand being an accountant while not really liking accounting but would think movie making would attract people who like movies, but seems we’re mostly stuck with propagandists
Ryan accidentally showed us a picture of the audience for this movie at 0:33
😂😂😂
Sick burn 💀
Gottem
His sacrifice to watch this for pitch meeting
Hahahaha
I’m quite proud of the general public for rejecting this cinematic abortion.
The general public didn't have a chance to reject it.
They didn't know it existed.
The Crow (1994) : a cult classic
The Crow (2024) : written by an actual crow using AI, probably
That's offensive towards actual crows which are really smart. It was written and approved by human idiots.
An actual crow would be smarter than whoever wrote this movie 😭
cult classic bombed even harder:)
@@Pindosina How does a movie that made almost 5 times its budget a bomb?
@@Pindosina It really, really didn't.
The Crow (graphic novel) was originally written to help the author James O'barr to cope with the loss of his fiancee, who was killed by a drunk driver. It is a very dark and depressing graphic novel about anger and loss. This movie seems like it just shits all over that. Like literally, these guys missed the whole point.
It does, in the graphic novel and the original movie it shows Eric and Shelly to largely be innocent people that were murdered violently. Seemingly at random. This one starts off by showing them both to be tied up with criminals, so the idea of an innocent couple falling victim to senseless violence is tossed away which was at the core of both stories.
u mean like the crow 2 and 3 . or the series .. or the new movie ?
Except that James O'Barr allowed this movie to happen.
great comic book.
@@Th3Kingism
Oh Hollywood executives still listening to chronically online edge lord males and toxic rom com females fanfictions over actual good story structure is tight!!
Of all the greatest love stories, the most genuine, deep, and powerful love came from...some dude who hooked up with some chick he just met over the weekend. So beautiful! My parents have been together for nearly 50 years and still absolutely love each other, but they have nothing on what's his face!
When my best friend's grandfather first saw his grandmother, he walked right up to her and told her he was going to marry her one day. Now that's fucking badass!
It really captures the quintessence of the purest love only hookup culture provides. It spans generations. Gen X, Millennial, Zoomers, and now Alphies. Just a bunch of gals with long contact lists of fuckbois, and all the doormat guys eager to be those fuckbois. Add hard partying with drugs and alcohol, with cringe tween dialogue as though they'd never actually spoken real words before, and you have that perfect beauty.
What a time to be alive.
@@scorpiusbalthazar4327 Your best friend's grandfather married his own grandmother? That's pretty metal alright.
@@ComicGladiator married my friends grandmother.
Cinema really is the best place to explore the complexity and beauty of boners.
My local AMC pulled The Crow from their rotation after five nights lolz.
"There's just NO way to know what I meant by this!"
While looking at what he "wrote"...
That tends to happen when you got really drunk the night before.
It's amazing how the remake writers don't get the concept of the Crow. None of the gang members that murdered Eric and Shelly on Devil's Night knew them beforehand. The couple was picked at random, just a random act of violence in a violent city, one more hideous crime out of hundreds that would remain unsolved. All these victims just gone, their killers unpunished, no justice for them. And then a cosmic entity or whatever, out of a macabre lottery, chooses one person based on the love that they gave in life, to come back and have a chance at revenge to make things right. But that concept doesn't work if the audience feels like the main character doesn't deserve a second chance like this remake.
Well if I remember right, Eric and Shelly were living in their apartment when the gang members came to 'evict' them- I don't remember a lot, but I think it all tied back to Micheal Windcott's big bad at the end... so it wasn't random
@@eclipsehorse8693 Indeed. They lead citizen legal action to keep people living in an apartment block the crimeboss wanted to buy cheap. The city fires, and the murder of Eric and Shelley, were actually business.
@@eclipsehorse8693 In the original graphic novel, they were in a car and just in the wrong place at the wrong time. In the movie, they'd caused minor annoyance to someone (which would never have gone anywhere) and got stepped on, hard, in their apartment. In neither was it personal, just some people enjoying hurting others and chose them.
@@GwionWilliams gotcha- it's been awhile since I saw the original- I just remember the two of them being restrained while David Patrick Kelly waved an 'eviction notice' around teasing them
Hollywood producers are like:
- Crow sounds cool
- Dunno what's it but famous among goths or something I'm told by that guy
- make it modern
- don't make it meaningful, audience is dumb and we couldn't make a good movie anyway because we are dumber and don't care
- they will see the crappy movie once out of curiosity, and money is money, if it fails in cinema (no way it will), maybe streaming gets some 💰💰💰
" thats alot of pressure i didnt say it would be convincing" 😂
"...their love was so powerful deep and pure that it transcended the traditional rules of death."
"Wow that was some weekend"
Plots like this is why I don't even bother watching any movies anymore. Beyond ridiculous. What is wrong with script writers these days???"
Nepotism.
Hollywood hire friends and family rather than talented people.
There are plenty of good writers out there, struggling to autopublish themselves.
They're all hired straight out of college and have no life experience
😂😂he didn't know her for long did he
Especially since there was no reason to have them meet in the film.
If you needed to show a super deep relationship, just pick up after a few years of them meeting and illustrate it with good writing.
Well, lots of people consider Interstellar a cinematic masterpiece.
"Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space. Maybe we should trust that, even if we can't understand it. "
Its crazy that Producer guy, who loves nothing but money, was the one who asked if this was necessary. He still agreed, but crazy he's the one who opposed this.
I mean based on the amount of money it's made, was he wrong?
That's character development, something screenwriter guy knows nothing about 😂
Producer Ryan is greedy... not crazy...
That's what Screenwriter Ryan is there for.
No movie is necessary.
So according to SnarkyJay, Lionsgate wanted this to be a new franchise with multiple movies, right now they only have John Wick and Hunger Games.
Explaining Vincent's character like a 5 year old coming up with an OC was a nice touch 😂
0:49 on the elektra pitch there was one comment wishing for this joke to continue in the later pitch meetings. And now its here
Ohhh Ryan coming up with new catchphrases is TIGHT!
OooOoooohhhh!!!!
0:50 i luv how "EWWWEWWW" "EWWWEWWW" is becoming a regular catchphrase like the others XDXDXD
I swear when he was describing the bad guys powers I heard my 8 year old talking. XD "...and. and, he's got, um, he has powers, um, that let him, like, do things normal people can't..." hahaha
That's exactly the vibe I got too! lol
Loved it! So imaginative for a little child...
That was brilliant.
an' an' an' he can er..... fly, and er..... make toast, and er....... mend my bunny who's ear has fallen of, and er......
Congratulations, you're astute.
"Weren't the original couple against drug usage in the original IP and wouldn't it be a slap in the face to make the remake about a couple of junkies?"
"Hey, shut up."
"No but see we got to pretend this one is edgier"
That slap would be difficult, editing-wise
You know that is a thing of the Punk society.
I dont think they were against it. But they weren't using or anything. If I remember, the couple just didn't mention drug use, one way or another. They portray the guys that kill them on the side of the road as horrible junkies though.
Why are you calling a movie an ip?
2:08 Ryan's little "hey shut up" gets me every time lol
He makes a good point and is told to shut up. 😂
Little shut ups are the best kind
Shut up!
I got a good one you: Minority Report. I'm surprised you never did it.
Wanted to thank you, you've literally done every movie I've asked for. You rock man!
No spoiler warning because nothing to spoil. No surprise there from Hollywood these days
Hey shut up so , Hollywood is trying the best they can ...... he he i cant do this . Sorry m8 just had to
it's already spoiled
It's a remake of a 30 year old movie, I feel like people already had the general idea
@@bigbearkat2010They changed the plot so much… it's almost a remake in name only.
What, you mean no surprise? The surprise was the fact that this script was approved & made
1:20 Shelly to Helly 🤣🤣
I came to the comments to find this one 👍
4:50 is the expression of someone looking at the expenssive bill for the turd that was produced. 50 Million dollars. For that.
Yeh
Still about a quarter the cost of The Acolyte
It's almost like they knew they would fail... $50 mill, for a modern movie.... hahaha
Man, I missed the dual "oooOOoo" that they used when it came to love interests. Thanks for bringing that back.
Deciding to instantly click on pitch meeting notifications is super easy, barely an inconvenience!
It truly is my friend
it was hard when I needed to finish the 15 minutes of fame video I was just watching on the other channel ahhh
Clicking on pitch meetings is tight!
I love when these release. He’s doing doing more lately
Wow y’all are so creative!!! Like is this your life to make cringy comments ?
The only good thing about this film is that it'll drive more people to the classic original.
I hope so. Brandon Lee's performance was legendary.
thats usually the only good thing about bad remakes, keeps the original alive, i dont want to torture myself by watching this version, but ill gladly watch a Pitch Meeting on it
It was because of this remake that I decided to watch the original for the first time, and I loved it. One of the best comic book movies of all time
@@EpicTman1911 cool story bro
They might even be brave enough to read the comic! It's a lot darker than the movie.
Lionsgate:
"Wanna see me produce an embarrassing box office bomb?"
...
"Wanna see me do it again?"
Oh wow, I didn't realize they ALSO produced Borderlands. Looks like Lionsgate just blew all their John Wick money on turds.
@@fcon2123 they also made The ministry of ungentlemanly warfare, which also bombed....
@@MetalCore2010 That movie was unfairly slept on. It might not be a must see, but it did deserve to have a modest success.
Spongebob, I'm onto you ;)
@proto245 nah. I LOVE Henry. the dude is a saint. That said, the rest of it (cast, plot, etc) was abysmal.
Thier love is so pure... That was some weekend 😂😂
The Crow is surrounded by tragedy. The writer of the original comic was inspired to write it by the loss of a loved one, then there was Brando Lee's death during the movie adaptation...This soulless cashgrab is extremelly disrespectful.
Are there any respectful cashgrabs?
Well.. this new movie seems like a tragedy too, so I guess in that regard they did try to stay true to the source material. :D
That’s an insult to the souless
@@jackassplus yes
Not even a cash grab. Looks like they spent more money on makeup than they're going to recover in sales.
2:40 This is savage. Like a little kid telling a story. I wish a writer would just admit that they didnt care, they did it for the money or they were given no time to write the story.
"What's changed since the last scene?" "Well, we're in a *different* scene now." Welp, that is a change.
Ryan is a master at eviscerating movies in just 5min
Somebody got paid to write this movie & thought their changes were good....
You saved me whatever time the movie was meant to be.
You know what this Crow movie needs...bright lighting and the color pink.
Yea... females and males wearing pink... not any other color.... pink.
You know candy goth is very tight right now!
It would probably make it better.
Put a chick in it and make her gay ❤❤❤
@@palasta Also males and females together in what's basically a prison.
“There’s just no way to know what I meant by this” is too funny bro!
The Crow should have just did what Fight Club does: re-release the movie in theaters, NOT remake it. It's cheaper, earns more profit, is way better received by everyone, it's pretty much zero risk, and it's way way less work! Best of all, it oozes integrity.
Unfortunately, it's obvious that last part is a foreign concept to the people behind The Crow remake.
If you're thinking about watching the remake, just go watch the original movie again.
Aren't they making a gender swap remake of Fight Club though?
@@deaconblooze1That was a rumour, but it's been denied by the studios.
@@deaconblooze1 A... Gender-swap remake of fight club? How would that work? Wasn't that movie famously at least partially about how society pushes men into a repressive and self-harmful ideal of masculinity, and that it sucks?
@@AegixDrakan A gender swap being nonsensical has never stopped Hollywood before. They get to show off how "progressive" they are while also cashing in on an existing IP.
@@AegixDrakan Very little of what they do makes sense.
When he finally went Full Crow, no one was there to warn him to never go Full Crow.
tropic thunder reference? =D
It’s scary to think what this channel would look like if Hollywood was, at least, 10% competent at their job
This channel, and many others, wouldn't exist if Hollywood made half decent movies. I almost suspect Hollywood enjoys being lazy because it feeds an industry like TH-camrs.
“That is what that word means” 💀 that joke is amazing
I have never been this angry about a film simply existing before.
Okay. I don't often react this strongly but.... This movie makes me irrationally angry.
"Hey, let's remake The Crow!"
"Well, that seems unnecessary. The original was good as is. Are we going to maybe stick closer to the original comic?"
"NOPE! We're going to completely eviscerate everything the comic was about!"
Reading the comments here you're not the only one who's angry. Anyone who's seen the original film, Brandon Lee's incredible performance, and the sad legacy of his having been *in* the film are also angry with you. *sigh*
@@ClanImprobable If it had been a GOOD reboot, I'd have been happy with it. But I haven't been this pissed about a movie since the mess Disney made of Artemis Fowl.
@@TheYeenQueen Why? With the sole exception of The Lazarus Heart, The Crow has been a disaster of a franchise in all forms since before most commenters here were born. Thinking they'd get this one right after all those shitty attempts? Is a stretch.
"...I didn't say it was convincing!" had me ROLLING in my seat!
Hey! That guy on the slide show is from the video!
The one we just watched? Amazing!
wow wow wow! ... wow
What would have been great is the writer's look changing every time we cut back to him to reflect all the writers that have come and gone over the eight million years this film was in development for.
That would be great!
Producer Guy:
“Um? What? Who are you?”
Writer Guy 2:
“I’m the writer guy…”
PG:
“I know that. I mean, what happened with the other writer guy?”
WG2:
“I have know idea what you are talking about.”
…
"kinda matters."
"nope."
"fair enough."
I think you just summed up (most!) movies in 2024 mate!
Screenwriter guy stammering through plot points he hasn’t fully thought out is one of my favorite gags.
3:59 That head shake along with the "I guess" really showed Ryan's true feelings!
The slight dialogue overlap and silliness at 0:19 "we gotaaAAaaa" is great
“What’s changed since the last scene?”
“Well we’re in a different scene now!”
The fact this is genuinely how so many movies try to explain away obviously nonsensical things that contradict the whole premise is enough to drive a man to drink.
I think making a remake of a movie that is tied to the legacy of a beloved actor is TIGHT!!!!
Rest in peace Brandon Lee.
Nobody cared the previous time they remade it.
Before he made the original film, no one knew who he was, including you.
Save the fake sympathy...
Remember when the first one was just “these bad people need to die so the dude comes back to do so” and we all just accept that was a good plot.
Totally needed an over complicated reason why this all happens
Let's not forget that Eric didn't talk with anyone on the other side, we didn't see the other side, and the end result didn't make he and Shelly resurrect in full. He avenged their deaths, then they remained dead in peace together.
Also, he never once doubted Shelly. And Shelly wasn't played by some ass suck musician nobody has ever heard of
@@mallios13 And in the original movie, we saw just enough of Shelly to give us the picture, while leaving enough out so the audience can fill in the blanks. This helps the audience to sympathize with Eric Draven/The Crow. The remake puts Shelly front and center then makes her unsympathetic.
The first one: Even after avenging the unfair death of this nice woman, nothing can change that she's gone.
The new one: The unlikable girl comes back to life like nothing happened. And the guy was a low life junkie, so him dying is meh...
Can’t wait to add this to my “play pitch meetings on repeat while I sleep” playlist
You do that too ? I have a “stuff to sleep to “ play list and all the pitch meetings are on it
Falling asleep to pitch meetings is tight
That is such a bad idea, trust me! I accidentally did this, and in my dreams, I kept hearing "super easy! Barely an inconvenience!", and I kept looking for whatever speaker was playing it, trying to shut it off, and couldn't find it. I spent what felt like three days in-dream unable to turn it off. I'm not making this up, the dream would have been pretty cool otherwise, something to do with trying to escape a cult that had quietly taken over an abandoned Summer camp with a '70s aesthetic.
@@joeblow229 I use my AirPod so when it falls out of my ear when I’m inevitably rolling over it turns off
@@joeblow229 I'm good since I never remember my dreams (if I have them). Still, I don't think pitch meetings will be a good thing to play for me. I would want to focus on them too much. I find that videos of streaming chill games like Stardew Valley works well though.
Pitch Meetings should be required watching at Hollywood.
That would just give them ideas...
I think I'll just rewatch the original Crow & call it a day
I think I will just find a crow outside and watch it.
I dont watch movies anymore. Just Pitch Meerings. And I am happy with this.
Same.
It's cheaper and you don't walk away regretting that you've thrown good money away on cinematic sh*t stains. =)

@@AnonymOus-ss9jj i think its the jumanji 2 pitch
This movie feels like worse graverobbing than the actual graverobbing in Deadpool X Wolverine
They said it was supposed to be based more on the comic but only had the spirit train and nothing else. The 1994 movie was a fantastic adaptation. The only thing I wish they did differently was have the crow talk like it did it the comic. I know people think talking animals are silly, but you can teach crows to speak, and they sound terrifying.
I think the lack of the crow speaking in the original film wasn't about diminishing silliness, and was more about the enigma. Keep the notion of Death a mystery. There was an unspoken communication between Eric and the crow, we didn't need to hear anything, it was only for Eric.
@mallios13 Yeah, we didn't need it, but that's one of the aspects of the comic I liked better than the movie.
hahahaha a talking crow... a role for Rachel Zeigler!
@eclipsehorse8693 It's a boy crow, and he's not annoying. Or was this an "eat crow" sorta thing? If so, then you may have a "lol".
@@pandapower3076 it's an eat crow kind of thing- as in humble pie when the box office returns come in :)
Ryan going "OOOooo" when talking about lovey dovey crushes is the best
I love how it seems that the climax of the movie of him killing bodyguards at the opera house was basically released as the entire movie trailer on youtube, i didn't realize it was just straight up the last 20 minutes of that film.
I guess they knew it would be the only watchable thing in their shitty remake
I think this was being way too nice to the kind of people who would seriously consider remaking The Crow.
But then, Ryan's Canadian, and so is Ryan.
It's not a remake, it's a re-adaptation of the original graphic novel.
@@treylester5361 What difference does that make?
@@treylester5361 That's what they claim, but it has even less in common with the comic than with the 90s film, so I don't believe it.
@jamielondon6436 people are saying it's disrespectful to remake something with a tragic attachment, when in reality it nots remaking anything.
Categorization and specificity is everything, they have every right to make this movie, they just had a bad creative direction, but even if it was penned by the best in the business people will leave still insulted it out of a false sense of self-righteousness to "respect" Brandon's legacy.
@Rystefn some scenes were ripped straight from the comic panels and some lines of dialogue are said verbatim though?
Imagine an audience member screaming "WHAT DID WE DO TO DESERVE THIS???" as Eric chucks two bloody heads at them.😂😂😂
Well, he is THE crow now. Crows are total jerks with squirrels, so THE Crow has to be a total jerk with the audience.
I imagine audience members screaming that every time this movie is shown.
That would be comedic brilliance 😂😂
There would be a lot of refunded tickets!
Blood soaked traumatised audience.
I just wanted to see a ballet.
My daughter likes ballet.
I'm glad she didn't come today.
This was supposed to be romantic!
WTF is wrong with you!
Don't throw heads at me! I didn't kill your girlfriend!
Guess that was the anti-establishment message or something...
"And they friggin kill them." "Fatally?!" "Kind of..." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One pines for the bygone days when the character's vulnerability was concisely described as "Caw! Caw! Bang! Fk! I'm dead!"
00:13 "shoulda said, 'Money"
It didn't make any 😅😅
Are commenting time stamps a new trend now or sum?💀
@@aidanh6880 bout time you caught up. been doing this for years
@@aidanh6880 yeah yeah YEAH..... that's me!!! LOLOLOLOLO
@@aidanh6880 I am TimeStamp!!!
I am going to go watch the original crow after this!
Do yourself a favour and get the original graphic novel while you're at it. The writing is incredible and poorly translated even to the old movie.
That movie is not that good tho, the novel is far better
@@Mat0m Well, it was a style-over-substance movie and very much a product of its time. It's definitely a "turn your brain off" flick, but I think it's still enjoyable for what it is.
Ditto
Not me, I’ve got better things to do
Danny Huston has really made a career of playing the exact same villain in every one of his movies
I was going to post the same. There are a few dozen character actors & 🇬🇧 people who must fully know they are the 5th or 6th choice on a casting list. 📋 .... Sir Ben Kingsley 🇬🇧 a 80yr old is still playing action film bad guys! Dreck....
@@DavidLLambertmobile You're making a reach with Ben Kingsley in my opinion. I get where you're coming from but Kingsley has shown his talent in ways Huston hasn't even come close to
"I was thinking we get the villain from X-Men Origins: Wolverine."
"Oh, Danny Huston?"
"Yeah, but also that character."
"I mean that was a beloved movie and Danny Huston doing that villain type is beloved by all, so I see no issue with this. Also, my girl and I are gonna do some acid in a minute, wanna join us?"
@@mallios13 I will pass this time good sir. Safe travels
This video was INFINITELY better than the actual movie. Spot on lol
So few people watched this movie you didn't even throw up a spoiler warning. Love it.
The movie retconned itself. So you can't spoil it. Everything you watch in the movie is completely redacted by the end.
Hoping here that next year, when Ryan does a Pitch Meeting for the upcoming Fantastic Four movie and he reaches the "Please enjoy a sideshow of the thing you just watched" it's all pictures of The Thing.
I got the notification for this Pitch Meeting and paused the video I was watching so I could watch this. I've been waiting for this Pitch Meeting!!!!
If there’s one good thing about this remake, it’s that more people went and saw the original. Myself included.
4:27 I feel bad for the Director now. 😂
Don’t. The director went out of his way to trash people who didn’t like his movie, telling them to leave their homes and do something. Couldn’t take the criticism.
"The cult classic movie that's irrevocably tied to the tragic passing of Brandon Lee?"
"Yeah, let's remake that one!"
Sad, but accurate.
It's not even like this is new for The Crow. It's had three sequels, a TV show and even the comics have been spun off often enough to make CSI and NCIS blush. Let's not act like Lionsgate was the first to try this.
@@bigbearkat2010no, but it doesn't make it any less opportunistic and disgusting. It just feels wrong, I only watched the original one and none of the others. Obviously I won't watch this either, I am super happy it's bombing and came here just to see Ryan make fun of it.
@@danyf.1442 Just find it weird people are acting like the Crow being desecrated for a cash grab is new.
@@bigbearkat2010Yep and the TV show and it's pilot star Mark Dacoscus as Eric, nobody started whining or crying about it back then, we just ignored it and moved on. Pathetic modern baby generation that cries about purile things.
3:13 this is the moment in the video you’re probably at as my comment scrolls by
What makes you think that? (Also, you got me)
How you do that?
Yup
I hate that new feature
Very correct
0:05 Immediately addressing the elephant in the room is TIGHT!
That slide show at the end really takes me back. Hits me right in the feels.
It feels like it was just yesterday that I saw the video that those slides were from.
2:45
"He can turn peoples eyes wide"
"Great we should hire him to make our thumlnails"
Turn eyes WHITE
When a movie get the “I’ll just wait for the Pitch Meeting” script treatment.
2:45 Ryan straight up acting like a 5 yr old inventing a super hero
Oh my god, i think a pitch meeting just made me want to see a movie. The original version of this sounds pretty cool.
It kinda is.
The original is _very_ good. One of my all-time favourites. It just fits together so well, with good writing, excellent cast giving great performances, and cracking direction.
The original is a beloved cult classic, and well worth your time.
The TV show and the sequels... also have ways of being entertaining.
@@DaemonikExcellent soundtrack too. So at least something good came out of a(nother) remake of _The Crow_ if it gets more eyes and ears on the Brandon Lee version.
Ya check out Brandon Lee's Crow. Good movie even without the Lee dying angle. It's a very well crafted movie with a hell of a lot of good photography, which is the part I liked. There's a shot with rings and a Shotgun that IMO hasn't been bettered since. You will know what I'm talking about when you see it.
The TV Series had its moments as well. I haven't seen the other movie so no comment.
Never watching the movie, but watching the Pitch Meeting is TIGHT!!!
"Our hands are tied we gottaaahhhh!" 😂💀
The Crow- Friendship is magic! ✨ 🦄 🐦⬛
Watching Pitch Meetings of movies you'll never see is tight!
Producer Guy: Uuhhwree
Screenwriter Guy: Uuhhrwee
That makes me laugh so much😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ohh, memorizing all the words to every Pitch Meeting video because I've fallen asleep to the full playlist on shuffle 150 times is *TIGHT*
I know Ryan likes to change his outro from time to time, but I truly hope he never changes from doing the slide show at the end. I absolutely love it!
If I squint and grit my teeth, I can accept this is coincidentally a man named Eric and a woman named Shelly as nothing on Wikipedia or IMDB indicates Skarsgard is playing "Eric Draven" and just lists "Eric."
With that in mind, this plot can be tossed alongside City of Angels, Salvation, and Wicked Prayer.
If someone said "Let's remake The Crow" then the only possible way of doing it would be to essentially commit to being a more faithful adaptation than the Lee lead film. Pretty much page to screen adaptation of the graphic novel.
That's the only way I can see an audience saying they'll give it a chance. You respect the hell out of the original source material and commit to bringing that to life.
Brandon Lee is not the one and only Eric Draven to me, though, albeit he's still the best.
Mark Dacascos actually gave a good performance in Stairway to Heaven, even if the show started drifting off course a little ways in.
You're one of the rare few who speaks of Stairway to Heaven positively. I'm happy every time I come across this. It wasn't high art, but I enjoyed it.
As I recall, the original graphic novels never gave a last name to either Eric or Shelly. The producers of the film needed a last name for scenes showing Eric's tombstone, so they went with "Draven" as a play on words: Eric Draven = Eric D Raven
