This episode from the "Shudder" doc series "Cursed Films" called "The Crow" focused on the tragic death of Brandon Lee who strangely died on set from a gunshot wound while filming in 1993 in North Carolina. As a weapons malfunction killed him. Traced back thru footage and interviews were when Brandon's famous karate dad Bruce died under strange circumstances while asleep on a film set. Was the devil out to get all Lee boys as Bruce had lost a brother young and the parents had once mentioned all Lee boys are cursed. Good informative episode dealing with family tragedy showing how Brandon and "The Crow" later inspired other action comic films and how his death help inspire his legacy to live on.

Very emotional, even for people who didn't even knew Brandon Lee. Still remember hearing back then of his passing - the sudden shock and the sheer disbelief is still vivid with me. You can tell, that the people working with Brandon, are still deeply emotional even after all those years and that speaks volumes about what kind of a person he was. One can't help but feel sad and angry at the same time about the lost of such humble, charming and talented man. The forever lost opportunities to watch Brandon for many, many years to come is truly saddened But there a far too many coincidences for this horrible night just to be ruled out as mere "accident".
