During the filming of "The Crow" a terrible thing occured.. The un-expected death of a great actor, Brandon Lee. A dummy bullet used in a close-up shot just before was not taken out of a stage prop gun, and when Lee made his entrance, the bullet, charged with twice the amount of gun powder, was shot at Lee and into Lee's chest killing the 28 year old actor.. The footage.. distroyed.. and the Crow went on..

In the movie as we know it, the actual bird, as Myca puts it, is "his link between the land of the living, and the land of the dead." Well, this is partly right, but according to the original screenplay, the reason Eric lost his powers is because he had finished what he came to do: get revenge on Shelly's and his own death. The Skull Cowboy tells him this when he returns to his grave, and stands on the steps of the church before he enters warning him he is now vulnerable. However, they decided to cut the character, and put more emphasis on the bird
