9 Superhero Movies From The 1990s That You Should Revisit

7) The Crow (1994)

The Crow is chiefly remembered for the terrible tragedy that occurred on set – when star Brandon Lee (son of Bruce) died from a gunshot wound caused by a defective blank. The film itself is due a reassessment, however, as it’s a moody and stylish effort from I, Robot and Dark City (and, unfortunately, Gods of Egypt) director Alex Proyas.

For those who don’t recall the plot, it follows rock star Eric Daven who, after the death of his fiancée, rises from the grave to avenge her murder. Apart from the memorable visuals, it’s Lee’s film through and through, as he gives a soulful performance that is only underlined by his untimely death.

The Crow also spawned a series of straight-to-video sequels and even a TV series. The quality naturally takes a dive from the first film, though, so these are probably only for completists.
