- Some time ago, Ashe Corven and his son Danny were killed when they stumbled across a pack of drug dealers murdering a fellow dealer. The dealers work for Los Angeles drug kingpin Judah Earl. Local tattoo artist Sarah, who has great knowledge of the crow legend because of what happened with her late friend Eric Draven, has been having dreams about Ashe and Danny. One night when a crow leads her to the scene of the murders of Ashe and Danny, Ashe appears before her. The crow has resurrected Ashe, so Ashe can go after Judah and his right hand man Curve. With the guidance of the crow, Ashe starts killing off Judah's men one by one, on his way to Judah.
- The second film based in James O'Barr's cult comic, talks about another Crow. After Ashe and his little son are murdered violently for no reason by Judah's men, he returns from the dead to take his revenge. One after one, Judah's people face the power of the dark angel...
- Just one of the pretentious, would-be meaningful lines peppering this 1996 Tim Pope movie. City of Angels is a watchable sequel yet lacks the potency or voyeuristic qualities of its predecessor.<br/><br/>That is, the most controversial element of the original and perversely the most crowd pulling was that its star was killed during filming. While the death is understandably not seen on screen, the film was completed after Brandon Lee's tragic demise and does add a macabre plus that this sequel does not have. What it does have in the way of unique plusses is a chance to see rock stars Iggy Pop and Ian Dury in fairly large acting roles. Pop gets the bigger part, but it's Dury who's the real find as sole likeable character Noah. An accomplished lyricist, he sadly died in March 2000 and this is just one of over 15 acting roles he undertook. I was quite surprised by this element of his career, not realising he had taken on acting jobs, particularly in high-profile (if not actually any good) movies like Judge Dredd and Split Second.<br/><br/>The Crow, a sort of Batman for Goths, is a strong character, a soul drawn back from the dead to avenge his murder. This sequel is really just a retelling, a rehash of the first story with different characters and a different lead, rather than a direct follow-on. Yet City of Angels crucially lacks the style needed to carry off it's adult content, lending the harsh violence a vicious edge. A predilection for gouged eyes runs throughout, though this does fit in with the series' skewed "eye for an eye" philosophies. So too the leader of the gang, Judah (Richard Brooks), has his characterisation etched in by watching unpleasantly directed S and M.<br/><br/>Where the original was stunning because of it's direction by Alex Proyas, (where we saw events from the actual crow's POV, something overlooked here) this sequel manages to look cheaper than the original, despite it's $13 million budget being over twice that of Lee's vehicle. Pope cannot be fully faulted, although the graphic novel leanings of the architecture do look remarkably fake this time around. Though while Pope's only other directorial work prior to this was a concert movie for the Cure, he is not helped by a script that is often unsubtle. Witness the overstated symbolism of the "Jesus Saves" neon sign with burnt-out letters causing it to read "save us". This religious analogy is a vague undercurrent (The Crow is a resurrection after all), and many of the character names are biblical, from the afore-mentioned Noah and Judah to Beverley Mitchell's Grace. In one of the truly remarkable scenes, the crow is crucified, causing The Crow (i.e. the man not the bird) to fall from the side of a building. This is a nice vertigo-inducing scene, and the animatronics are superb. In fact, I half suspected they'd offed a real crow before I saw the end credits.<br/><br/>The Christ analogy being a subtext is one way in which it perhaps scores over the first movie, which had it fully signposted. Even Brandon Lee's cat was called "Gabriel" in the 94 version. Yet, while mildly pretentious, the original Crow possessed a high-reaching ambition and irresistible style. City of Angels, while not awful, only reaches as far as a TV Movie.
- As someone that has watched a movie almost every single night for what is almost to be 4 years straight, this has to be the worst film i have ever seen in my entire life. The crow: city of angels was a pathetic and pretentious attempt at trying to recapture the feeling of the original, only that it falls short in so many ways, it almost seems as as if it were a parody. tim pope (which i expected much more of due to his long time work with the cure) truly turned this film into a live action comic book (a very bad comic book). the plot was a carbon copy of the first, only lacking the stunning performances of Brandon Lee, Michael Wincott and Rochelle Davis. It also completely lacked the emotional impact of the first in every single way possible. All throughout the first crow i was immersed within the story of Eric Draven avenging the rape and death of his fiance'. It was such a stunning performance you could actually feel the anger and longing exuding from the character. City of angels does its best to pull out an emotional impact of the murder victim in such a cheap way of it being a child and it's father.<br/><br/>In the area of villains, instead of the truly twisted character of "Top dollar" from the first film, we receive a sadistic and stereotypical "villain" that portrayed such cheapness that you could only find elsewhere on the WB or UPN at 2 in the morning. I couldnt have cared less about the characters and only sat through the film to truly witness in it's entirety of how much it did its best to defimate the first one. Yet constantly the argument is made that it is an entirely different film with different characters and shouldnt be compared to the first, well after sitting through city of angels i only had the impression that the character was originally intended to be Eric Draven and the writers simply fell asleep at their desks during production. Only it gets worse, yet another sequel is in the works at the very moment, hopefully it will be better than this waste of film was. The only bright spot is knowing that i am not alone in millions of other fans out there that seen this film as a complete travesty to the memory of both the original film and Brandon Lee.
- Yes, it's the same character. Besides an omnipresent greenish filter the Director's Cut features 11 new or extended scenes as well. The purpose of those new scenes is rather questionable as they don't add anything to the movie at all. In Britain, the Director's Cut was released as well. Unfortunately, like several other movies, two scenes in which a butterfly knife is used, had to be edited in order to get the BBFC 18 rating. a5c7b9f00b
