Ok..i love the original Crow with Brandon Lee...and i give all things Crow a shot..even though i usually dont dig sequals of anything.
James O' Barr created one of the best comic characters and a good story line to boot.
Although the Crow 2: City of Angels nearly wasnt as good as the original, it still wasnt bad for an attempt...
My problem however..is i just watched the Crow: Wicked Prayer.
Ok..if nobodies ever seen this movie, i suggest not to start if you are a fan of the series. If you plan on watching it, just letting you know
****SPOILERS BELOW***
Lemme vent for a minute.
.......*deep breathes*.......
WHAT THE FUCK. alright.. lets see..
The setting: A indian tribe sacred land.
First it starts out showing 3 of the 4 satanic gang members, who all call themselves the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
David Boreanaz (Angel, Buffy) plays the main villian, Death. Tito Ortiz (UFC) plays Famine. And the all partying Tara Reid plays Deaths Girlfriend.
Edward Furlong plays the Crow this time around. Who by the way i enjoy as a actor...but he tries way to hard to be "creepy goth" (you've all seen kids that try too hard..you know what im talking about)
After Death and his gang kill Ed's girlfriend and taking out her eyes, they kill Edward as well. The party on opium, and the raven ressurects Ed.
Seeking vengence on the 4 Horsemen, he takes them out one by one..but first..the makeup.
Yep..as all favorite mall goths would praise for, he uses none other than...a Sharpie. Yes..a ball...point...sharpie.
First rule of vengeful ghost crimefighting action....invest in your girlfriends makeup bag.
Anyways, he takes them out one by one, Death tried to become the antichrist..and it can only be done by non other than Dennis Hopper...a ghetto talking Dennis named el Nino. A satanic pimp. Fur coat and all. Most memorable quote "Well, all wicked-ass props to you Mr. O.G. and thanks for representing all the homeys." It's quite entertaining..
So anywho, while all this is happening Ed's girl (with the missing eyes) father is a head cheif indian...played by Danny Trejo...ok..i can see a little indian in him..but ive never seen an indian tribe that is dressed in blue doorags and gangster clothes..and have tattoo's of the virgin mary on them..
Yes..a mexicano indian tribe i guess!
It basically ends with the Crow killing Death and being reunited with his loved one..
Ok..lets recap.. Theres a gang...who kills two lovers...a girl gets her eyes cut out...the crow is ressurected...revenge one by one...1st kill is laid out in a a fire crow...kills the villian..is reunited...hrrmmm...sounds vaguely familiar
Anyways..out of a score of 10... this gets a -4
Just my opinion.
.....*exhales*.....
