"People once believed that when someone dies a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead.
But sometimes something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it, and the soul can't rest.
Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back
to put the wrong things right."

In Memory Of Brandon Lee

Death Of An Angel

Brandon Lee: Died during an accident on the set, a scene called for a gun to be loaded, cocked, and then pointed at the camera. Because of the close-range of the shot, the bullets loaded had real brass caps, but no powder. After the cut, the propsmaster (not the armsmaster - he had left the set for the day) dry-fired the gun to get the cock off, knocking an empty cartridge into the barrel of the gun. The next scene to be filmed involving that gun was the rape of Shelly. The gun was loaded with blanks (which usually contain double or triple the powder of a normal bullet to make a loud noise). Lee entered the set carrying a bag of groceries containing the explosive blood pack. The script called for Funboy ('Michael Massey') to shoot Eric Draven (Brandon Lee) as he entered the room, setting off the blood pack. The cartridge that was stuck in the barrel of the gun was shoot at Lee through the bag he was carrying, killing him. The footage of his death was destroyed without being developed. Lee is the son of martial arts legend and master Bruce Lee, who died on July 20, 1973, under mysterious circumstances just after making of his first American made movie Enter the Dragon in 1979.
