Here's the story line behind The Crow: Brandon Lee was hired to play Draven, the rock musician in the movie. He and his fiancé refused to move out of their apartment after the real estate developer wanted to sell the building. So The developer hired killers to kill them.
Brandon Lee, the actor, is martial artist Bruce Lee's son. While on set during the second last scene, Brandon was to stand upon a dining room table as the thugs shot at him with their guns. But one of the prop guns had a real bullet in it and Brandon took a round to the chest.
Brandon died. Final scene was with a cracked mirror and used a double. The story line was that, Eric Draven was resurrected from the dead by his crow to get vengeance upon the real estate developer then return to the spirit of his lost woman where they would reunite for eternity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izUSpFYq5N8
