Film Fights is back after a long while away as Grim and Knight re-review one of the greatest films of all time, 1994's The Crow and it's 2024 remake. It is the Late Brandon Lee V Bill Skarsgard in this showdown for supremacy. The Crow is a 1994 American supernatural superhero film directed by Alex Proyas and written by David J. Schow and John Shirley, based on the 1989 comic book series by James O'Barr. It stars Brandon Lee in his final film role, as Eric Draven, a rock musician who is resurrected from the dead to seek vengeance against the gang who murdered him and his fiancee. Lee was fatally wounded by a prop gun during filming. As he had finished most of his scenes, the film was completed through script rewrites, a stunt double and digital effects. After Lee's death, Paramount Pictures opted out of distribution and the rights were acquired by Miramax Films. The film is dedicated to Lee and his fiancee, Eliza Hutton. The Crow premiered in Santa Monica on May 10, 1994, and was released in the United States on May 13, 1994, by Dimension Films. The film received positive reviews for its stylized noir aesthetic, emotional resonance and Lee's performance. It grossed $94 million on a $23 million budget and has gained a cult following. The success led to three sequels, a television series, and a 2024 reboot, all of which failed to replicate the first movie's success.

The Crow is a 2024 supernatural superhero film serving as a reboot and the fifth installment overall in The Crow film series, and is the second film, after the 1994 film, to adapt the 1989 comic book series by James O'Barr.[b] It was directed by Rupert Sanders from a screenplay by Zach Baylin and William Schneider. A co-production between France, the United States and the United Kingdom, the film stars Bill Skarsgård as Eric Draven / The Crow, a man who is resurrected to avenge the deaths of himself and his girlfriend, played by FKA Twigs. The film entered development in December 2008, with Stephen Norrington stating that he would write and direct a "reinvention" of The Crow. It entered a complicated production process with various directors, screenwriters, and cast members attached at various points. Filmmakers Norrington, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, F. Javier Gutierrez, and Corin Hardy were initially signed to direct while Bradley Cooper, Luke Evans, Jack Huston, and Jason Momoa were all cast as Eric during various points in development. Skarsgård was announced as Eric in April 2022, along with Sanders as director. Filming began in July, occurring in Prague and Penzing near Munich. The Crow had its world premiere in New York City on August 20, 2024, and was released in France on August 21 by Metropolitan Filmexport, and in the United States and United Kingdom on August 23 by Lionsgate and Entertainment Film Distributors respectively. It received negative reviews from critics and was a box-office bomb, grossing $24.1 million worldwide against a production budget of $50 million. Who came out the winner?
