[School of Movies 2025]

Several years ago, Sharon and I recorded an After School Club on this 1994 film, the botched production of which took the life of its young star Brandon Lee. We were scathing and derisory, having never much liked it (and the awful DVD transfer did it no favours) whilst expressing contempt for director Alex Proyas (I, Robot, Knowing, Gods of Egypt).

But this time (actually a year ago on its 30th anniversary) with Willow in tow, in conjunction with watching the appalling remake, we finally took in the 1080p blu ray, and I subsequently brought it to my editing bench to see if I could file off the sharp, jagged corners that bothered us so much and shape it into something worthier of the last screen appearance of the son of Bruce Lee.

And wouldn't you know it... now we LOVE The Crow.
