- The Crow franchise was brought back to life one final time for one of the most baffling sequels I've ever seen. The Crow: Wicked Prayer is a train wreck from beginning to end...but does it cross the line into "so bad its good"?

The Crow is like Highlander: There should have been only one.
@@BishopWalters12 Your comment made me think, "wait, wasn't there a Crow tv series?". Well, I did some googling and guess what: th-cam.com/video/6A6d_mIsq9I/w-d-xo.html
There should be ONLY ONE. I’m surprised Cody didn’t include The Crow on his list of films that didn’t need a sequel
@@santos8468 I remember actually being excited to watch it when it first aired… it’s so terrible lol
@@dong.corleone But Brandon Lee did sign a contract for 2 more sequels.
@@WhiteHorseBlackHat I had that feeling.
"Well, wicked-ass props to you Mr. O.G. and thanks for representing all the homeboys" -Dennis Hopper
Cracks me up every time
Mine favorite line was “I now pronounce you devil and his shorty.” Such a bad movie though
Picked this up years ago in a 3-pack of the sequels in the $5 DVD bin near the checkout at Wal-Mart. The only sequel I had seen was City of Angels and I was curious if it was as bad as I’d remembered (it was). After watching City of Angels and Salvation, I just left it on the shelf. About a year later, I finally put on Wicked Prayer just as a rainy Saturday with nothing to do curiosity. A half hour in, I came to the conclusion “I am not drunk enough to enjoy this movie.” That night after hitting the bar, a friend and I gave it another look, and it was hilariously awful. So it’s not a terrible viewing experience, just don’t do it sober.
They can make as many sequels as they want, but the first original crow movie is untouchable. They can’t ever remake that.
Agreed 100%
Well, Hollywood is up to remake The Crow again!!
There’s gonna be a Crow remake with Bill Skarsgard.
Oh boy I know. And people are already crapping on it! But I’m gonna wait until we get a trailer to see if it’s not so bad. 🤞
Watch the trailer lol
You know what would've been a good Crow movie: an adaptation of Flesh and Blood with Michelle Rodriguez in the lead role. She'd be perfect as Iris Shaw, murdered conservation officer, out to avenge her death and death of her unborn child by murderous poachers. Michelle as that character kinda reminds me of her character from Lost. Plus, in Flesh and Blood, Iris doesn't do the Harlequin look, and instead, goes for the painted crow across her face, over the eyes and nose. And with her crow powers, unlike Eric Draven, she can't be hurt, but she cannot heal like he can. Iris is basically on borrowed time, with her body slowly decaying on her revenge quest.
Sounds cool, but no way would the studio ever go for ditching the iconic makeup.
@@tawdryhepburn4686 I know. Still, a man can dream. Michelle even kinda played that sorta character in the show Lost.
Ok, I'm embarrassed to admit that I have fun with this film. All the sequels. Lol. Even this one. Yes I'm being serious. All I can say is just watch it. You'll laugh.👍
Loved all of them
@the world has fallen murdered by a Democrat?????? Wtf are you talking about bro. Don't flood my comment with some conspiracy theory bullshit.
If you read the book, then watch it, you'll cry laughing 🤣😭😭
I like city of angels. And didn’t mind salvation. Have never seen this one. Maybe I’ll give it a shot.
The biggest problem was the studio. They gave almost no money, and had only 6 weeks to film the entire thing. They basically shot each scene once and moved on.
Agree about Edward Furlong. Will always love him in T2. Heck, I thought they missed a great opportunity with Dark Fate and actually involving him in a real role. They could have kept John alive and gave him and his mom the dynamic of John letting go of the dark future (hence he has a family and dad bod) and Sarah, like Laurie Strode in Halloween 2018, never let it go and has always been a prepper. Then they both could have dealt with the implications of a different dark future arising and possibly being inevitable whilst helping the new savior and protector.
That would be bomb
The second one was actually pretty amazing also. Had it not been for the perfect first movie, then the second one could definitely stand up on it's own.
I didn't even know they made a third or fourth
I couldn't even watch the fourth because it was so bad
The way Eddie plays the Crow is like a soft-spoken depressed emo kid.
Probobly hid atention im prety sure Crow movies inspirad a generation or 2 of goths emo depresed teens and so one
Finally someone else that appreciates Detroit Rock City! Thought I was alone on that one
Very underrated movie
I like Detroit Rock City
It's a good movie
i just recently purchased it on amazon on a random whim and i forgot how good that movie is
Right here! I LOVE that movie.
Dude most people like that movie lol
You should review The Crow: Stairway to Heaven series with Marc Dacascos. It was short, but honestly enjoyable for me.
Like with the shows Damian and The Exorcist, I doubt that would happen but it would be cool
@@daimonatkins3046 I wanted to ask him to cover the Omen tv series, Damian.
Cody please do Crow Stairway to Heaven it is way better than City Of Angels, Salvation and Wicked Prayer all put together.
Ratings didn’t cancel it the damn production company went out of business.
@@TNHFPRODUCTIONS987 I agree....the TV series is awesome! Not too many people know about it and it is a damn shame! Mark Dacascos' role as the Crow is as close as anyone will ever get to duplicating Brandon Lee's performance in the original movie!
Purely out of curiosity I would love to see Rob Zombie's Crow movie!
I couldn’t take Dennis hopper seriously with a line like “I now pronounce you devil and his shorty.” Too cringe worthy and funny.
It wouldn’t surprise me if everyone involved in this movie did it as some sort of tax right-off.
The only reason I even watched this film was for Tara Reid. Even that isn't a reason to watch this film. Having said that Cody, your review is more entertaining than the film you're reviewing.
I'd love to hear Cody's thoughts about The Crow sequel that almost got made with DMX and Eminem
Or the Rob Zombie one.
Oh my god The Crow: Lazarus!!!! 😂😂😂
WHAT...? 👀
I Remember I wanted DMX to be in it when I was in middle school before it was even an idea for him to be in a movie like that cuz I wanted it to be from a rapper perspective
My experience with this movie. Me and my friend went down the road to Wawa for food, we did a Crow binge and once this came on...we kept dying of laughter from the acting and cringing at how bad everything was
Make the Lost Boys franchise review, please! I think the 3rd one is totally underestimated.
Love your reviews cody!! I saw this movie back in 05 and HATED IT. 1 time watch and forgot about it until this review. Keep up the great work
Wow wasn't expecting love for Detroit Rock City. Like that movie to saw it in the theater when it came out.
Great review, that intro was brilliant. 😂
Yeah, I still have to finish my first viewing of the movie. Pretty sure that was over 10 years ago. Not at the top of my list to finish.
Man I enjoyed this review so much. I laughed so hard that I was brought to tears because let me tell you, my hatred for this movie runs so deep. I literally hate everything about it. Everything. Well everything except Emmanuelle… she’s always a pleasure to look at but anyways, yeah fuck this movie and to everyone if you value your time on this earth steer clear from this abomination.
Ever since you’ve dropped this review, I have now seen The Crow: Wicked Prayer appear to be showing on the channel Comet on my TV Guide nonstop!!!!!!
Ed Furlong looks like Joan Jett. 😂🤣
He looks like Johnny Depp in Edward Scissorhands haha too
That cast announcement with the Benny Hill theme was icing on the cake 👌😂
"So God gave you wings"
"He never gave me shit, fucker"
Idk but that was always funny to me
I thought Edward furlong had a darker take on the character but Brandon Lee had a charm to his crow character that should have won a golden globe.
He won a best actor award.
Hey Cody! What image is shown on your shirt? I keep trying to figure it out but I’m stumped 😅
Tito Ortiz being seen had me crying 😂😂😂😂😂 this movie really does have a crazy lineup
If they ever do remake the Crow, I hope they follow the story that The City of Angel's was originally going to be. I doubt it'd surpass the original movie, but the original story for City of Angels sounded really good and would've been a good follow up
What was it?
"Well, wicked-ass props to you Mr. O.G. and thanks for representing all the homeboys. "
When i tell you i had NO idea that there were more than 1 sequel to the crow? Imagine my surprise when Cody drops another one
DRC shout out!!!! The first DVD I ever watched. I almost forgot about that movie
Hilarious and abysmal is a perfect description, Cody - great review. 👍🏼
Is that a Night of the Creeps shirt? Awesome dude
Has anyone watched the tv series? It followed the original movie loosely for the first episode before becoming it's own thing. It's a bit strange at times but very action packed and I highly recommend watching it you can find it. It's the rarest of all The Crow media. The full name of the series is The Crow: Stairway to Heaven.
Just found out there is also a TV show of this, any good?
Thank you. Your suffering has not gone unnoticed.
The Og crow is one of the movies I know every scene, line and facial expression. It really is a comfort movie for me and it holds such a dear place in my heart ❤, however, the sequels were 100% unnecessary, 2 & 3 weren't good but were tolerable whereas 4 was just plain wrong. The casting is so random. Tara just basically played herself, just showing that anyone can be handed a Hollywood career. Emmanuelle Chriqui, is an actress I've been following since about 2001 when she did a movie with my fave boyband, sis has literally nothing but box office Bombs on her credit list, and it's sad cause i see the potential but even in flashbacks etc.
They really put no effort in any of it, I've seen more out of little me playing teacher alone with empty chairs filled with my students 😜
Good Sir Cody, I have a question, let's say, Brandon didn't pass bur survived and decided he wasn't going to make anymore Crow movies and Hollywood make them anyway, as is, what do you think he would of thought I'd them? On how a character he brought to life has been portrayed etc.
This one felt like a 'we need to keep the rights to the franchise' film, which would explaine everyone's 'I'm bored lets get this over with and cash our cheques' vibe...except Boreanez as you mentioned 😂
Well if the thumbnail is any indication, this one’s gonna be a bumpy ride for sure
So, any chance of a Crow: Stairway to Heaven?........ just wondering 🤔
No
I have a feeling, when you rank these, you and I will agree.
1. The first one, by miles ahead.
2. 3rd one.
3. 2nd one.
4. 4th one.
You seriously need some kind of award for sitting through all these horrendous sequels you did us a tremendous favour by doing this but that must’ve just been brutal man… Way to take one for the team!
What is Your shirt from? Seems so familiar can’t place it? A parody of some kind? Thank You for this review! Saved Me time
Almost seems like Furlong was trying to go for a Stuart Townsend Queen of the Damned vibe with his costume
Holy shit I'm first this is one of the rare times I'm actually ever first Lol , also love your videos Cody keep up the great work dude 🤘👊✊🔥🔥🔥
Hi Cody, just wondering how many black movie themed t shirts do you own?
What movie is on his shirt?
The crow original can't be beat
This movie is definitely so bad its ... almost good. Its the Sharknado of Crow sequels, Boreanaz and especially Hopper are insanely zany. I want to believe Dennis Hopper ad-libbed all his scenes.
You had me with that intro 🤣
I worked at a video rental when this came out. I saw the cast list as perplexed at the casting. Boreanaz strikes me as an actor for The Crow, Furlong would make a great bad guy trying to prove himself.
Dude! I'm so stoked you like Detroit Rock City. I'd love to see a review of it man. Fucking love that movie
I remember watching the crow stairway to heaven as a kid that tv show was cool
Edward Furlong as The Crow and Tara Reid? What could go wrong? 🤷🏼♂️
Funny thing, I met them both last month. Got pictures with them both on the same day.
Edward furlong has been with monica keene from freddy vs jason for over a decade. Wicked stuff
So I guess we know the answer to whether or not we were going to get another installment of the crow
I feel like David Boreanaz should have played the crow and furlong should have played lucifer
Have you seen the TV show (The Crow: Stairway to Heaven)? It's pretty decent considering the television budget restraints it was shot under.
i have a blast with this movie one of my favorite guilty pleasures of alltime! i do actually like edward furlong it it though
Just curious are you gonna review the crow tv show
Can you plzzzz rank the Paranormal Activity movies after the new one comes out tomorrow!!
I was initially excited when this was announced, because the book that it is named after was pretty damn good. This bears very little resemblance to the book in spite of lifting some ideas from it.
The first time and only time I tried to watch this movie I DVR'd it off T.V. and about a third of it was cut off so I couldn't even finish it. For the record there is a T.V. series that's one season long called The Crow Stairway to Heaven. They redo the Eric Draven story but they add a few things to it like the Skull Cowboy who was in a few deleted scenes from the first movie and a female Crow who's arc is different than Eric's.
I like Edward furlong as an actor like American history x and terminator , but as a crow , he's just not intimidating as a crow , I feel like he's Chucky from child's play , he just doesn't intimidate , I feel like he's just gonna get his ass beat the whole movie
This movie felt like a movie special of "Angel". David Boreanz was basicially Angelus in this movie.
“Well, wicked-ass props to you Mr O.G. and thanks for representing all the homeboys.”
Awesome shirt, I love night of the creeps!
Bro the thumbnail alone gotnmenkaight and then this intro 😂 💀 🤣
Dope shirt 👍🏼
“How did they get Danny Trejo in this”. Really. Here’s how. They called him and he answered the phone.
So is Salvation the best of the remakequels?
Night of the Creeps! Yes. Love it.
Anyone else here because they just released first looks of Bill Skarsgard as Eric Draven for the 2024 reboot of The Crow 🙋🏻♀️
Oh wow this review is hilarious to listen to, I mean while it’s a bad movie… still nice to watch every one in a while
U answered my question u r reviewing prayer nucee
I wonder if Cody will review the Crow: Stairway to Heaven tv series?
No
Out of all sequels i liked this one the most to be honest it gave one one good diffrence in wicked prayer everyone seemed a victim. But i agree cast needed much diffrent redo. But the movie also needed a much better end fight to me and Reid's character has survived when she was involved in Lily's death
I ain’t seen this movie in 20 years or whatever it’s been, but I remember it being my favourite crow sequel movie 😅
Thank God that I never watched any of The Crow Sequels.
omg i'm now talked into watching this movie. i'll be back.
Nice dark fate mention lol. I think most of us Edward Furlong John Connor fans just wanted to see him in the film a little longer and then get blown away, but it made sense how they did it and they've jacked him up several times. There's really no point of him as far as him being this important character. But nonetheless, I do like what you said in the beginning, I laughed. Excuse the rambling. I agree, they should just leave the Crow alone. No Brandon Lee, no Crow.
Was that Tito Ortiz I seen you flash a clip of? 😂
Actually, i loved all the crow movies. I admit Wicked Prayer was a bit strange at first but then you get used to it. I watched it morethan once asi i did with the previous ones.
What's weird is that the poster looks sort of good. This iteration of the Crow, with that makeup, it looks cool.
I guess the idea behind using Angel is that he was a good villain in season 2 of Buffy. I have no idea why they picked Tara Reid.
I haven't watched more than 60 seconds of that movie, but I already know before I do that this thing is going to be packed with cringe.
Awesome opening! I didn't care for Dark Fate but damn that was great haha
Out of all The Crow movies, Wicked Prayer is the one that I'll never watch. I agree with you 100%, Cody.
This review is hilarious😂😂😂😂😂😂 Cody I love your reviews! Yes I agree this movie was horrible lol everything cheap! And Edward furlong as the crow😂😂😂😂😂😂 straight trash lol
Forgot to mention the Macy Gray cameo. It was absolutely brilliant! When i say brilliant, i mean hilariously bad! So bad, it makes me wonder if she was on something during filming?
Edward Furlong -John Connor
David Boreanaz- Angel
Tara Reid - American Pie
Chozen from Karate Kid 2
Dennis Hopper- Speed
Danny Trejo The Legend
Tito Ortiz Mr UFC
Marcus Chong- The Matrix
The Girl from Snow Day
Marcy Gray
So many famous recognizable faces but why do they all suck in this movie when we saw them become legends in other films and shows.
I think I saw "The Crow: Wicked Prayer." Or was it "Salvation?" I honestly can't remember because whichever Crow sequel it was, it was absolutely forgettable.
Wasn't this one based on a book?
Funny thing is that I own this movie and I've only ever watched it once.
How about the tv series of the crow .?
Yo Cody! If you heard of Tito Ortiz, he was also in this movie 😁
I have never seen the crow
😂😂😂 They haven't put the crow in space yet so there's always a chance for another one!!
That intro along with the thumbnail, lmao. I’m ready to hear you rip this mess a new one.
I think one of the funny moments I had was watching Eddie Furlong trying to shoot himself. You can tell he’s looking for the marker on his body to place the gun. And when he does pull the trigger, the bullet on his back is higher then where he placed the gun
It's absolutely incredible that an entire movie's worth of people thought this would work.
Was this the first successful intentionally bad movie?
9:44 OMFG Tito Ortiz is in this HAHAHAH
