The Ghostrider song on The Crow soundtrack parallels the Ghostrider comic book.

In Brandon's final interview, when he says, 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. That is from Paul Bowles, Sheltering Sky.

Brandon and his movie father, Bruce Lee, are buried in Lakeview Cemetery, Seattle, Washington, near the Seattle Asian Museum.

There originally was a sorcerer character who was intent on stealing Eric's power and the Crow, but it was felt that it conflicted too much with the Skull Cowboy concept, so it was scrapped. When the Skull Cowboy concept was scrapped, the sorcerer character was brought back in lesser form as Myca.

Myca has that tribal tattoo on her back, but she's not the only one. Top Dollar has some pretty impressive ones too, but they are never shown.

David Patrick Kelly, who played T-Bird, was so into his character and the classical arts that the Paradise Lost book he was holding while reading from was an actual antique copy that he bought specifically for the movie.

Several people have pointed out the similarity between the name Eric Draven and the idea 'Eric the Raven' - perhaps another tie to the E.A. Poe poem. As well, I've been told that O'Barr has a son from a previous marriage named Eric.

Jeff Imada, Brandon Lee's best friend, fight choreographer, and fellow student in the martial arts (how they first met) plays Brandon at the end of the movie. He is the Oriental gangster at the table during Top Dollar's Anarchy speech who asks, So you're saying we should just quit?

Imada was also on an episode of Hard Copy investigating Lee's death. Jeff Imada is on tape apparently finding one of the blanks in which he clearly examines and shakes near his ear saying, The caps haven't been popped. They look real. They seem real... and then says he'll look into it. Also, in the same episode of Hard Copy, a broken M-16A1 prop was handed to the propsmaster, who, handed it back to the person saying inconspicuously, Put it back with the others.

My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult's song, After the Flesh is actually an updated version of their original Nervous Xians song from the album Kooler than Jesus.

The origin of the phrase Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of every child (from the scene where Eric drains morphine from Darla's arm) it's from the book (not the comic)

There were other accidents on the set; so many that people were beginning to think there was a curse. There was a fire, a crewmember got electrocuted, and someone else flipped out and drove their car through the set, causing injuries. A tornado was also supposed to have fucked with the set.

CAMEO: James O'Barr can be seen stealing a TV set after Gideon's shop was blown up.

CAMEO: During one of the scenes at the club, while a band is playing, a person jumps from the stage and surfs the crowd. That might have been Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails.

One of the bad guy's at Top Dollar's meeting is one of the screenwriters, David Schow. He is also the guy that gets pulled under the table in the same scene. (Thanks, Thom Carnell)

If you look close enough in a few scenes, you will see that Eric has a light scar going under his eye and over his nose. Brandon Lee was not scarred. It was a reference to O'Barr's work; Eric died from a gunshot to the head - the blast cracked the bone under his eye creating the wound.

The scene with Albrecht and Eric in his apartment was ad-libbed where Eric shows Albrecht a picture of him and his wife, and the following part about Shelly (believe me nothing is trivial...)

O'Barr based Gideon on a character played by John Polito in "Miller's Crossing." Polito, of course, went on to play Gideon, thus a dream come true for O'Barr.

At the end of the movie, there is a dedication to Brandon and Eliza. Eliza was Brandon's fiance. This whole theme/coincidence of people being torn from one another seems to be a bit too odd. Thanks to Wraith for this tidbit.

For a long time, many others having been asking where this quote came from: "Invincible, abashed the devil stood, and felt how awful goodness is." It's from Million's Paradise Lost. Thanks alot Len for sharing that with all of us. And a thank you to Neil Chinnery for the link to the text of that poem.

A music video was produced for "it can't rain all the time". It's known to have appeared on Canada's MuchMusic on various occasions.

The Crow was filmed entirely in North Carolina.

The scenes of the crow flying through Detroit were a real Crow matted onto a miniature Detroit set. The Church we see in the final showdown is actually a miniature.

The company Dream Quest was responsible for the computer graphics. The scene where Draven's hand heals used stop animation technology.

Do the Crow's squawks sound odd? They're Ravens, not crows - perhaps a tie to E.A. Poe's poem. In one scene, the top view of the bird's spread tail showed that the end was rounded rather than square -- a raven.

There was a rumor about a director's cut on Laserdisc (Skull Cowboy scenes, razor fight, etc). The released Laserdisc doesn't have any of these items (nor the 'final' Brandon interview).
