Eerily, Bruce Leeās son, Brandon, The younger Lee was playing the title character in The Crow about a rock musician brought back from the dead to avenge his and his fiancĆ©ās murder. On March 31, 1993, he filmed the scene where his character was to be shot and killed. Tragically, a series of mistakes by the production team lead to the 28-year-old star being shot with the remnants of a real bullet instead of a dummy cartridge. Cameras were rolling when the actor fired the gun, fatally wounding Lee.
Paramount decided against proceeding with the film, but Miramax picked it up ā and added $8 million to help finish the production. After some rewrites, Leeās remaining scenes were completed using a stunt double and CGI effects. The Crowās long hair ā and the dark, grimy nature of the film's cinematography ā helped make this subterfuge convincing.
The film was a hit and spawned a sequel, this time with The Crow played by Vincent PĆ©rez.

Brandon was one of my dadās closest friends when he was living in LA, heās still heartbroken about his untimely passing. From all the stories he told me, he was a really kind, humble guy.
