Things we learned:
You need to dance around the crow to wake it up.
According to the filmmakers Mexicans and Native Americans look exactly the same.
Anyone can direct a movie.
Edward Furlong is the biggest loser in the town, but he can bag the hottest girl.
You can sell scorpions for $1 a piece at the local town store.
Tara Reid is a terrible actress. (Ok, ok. We didn’t really just learn that.)
Final Take:
I had no clue what was happening in this movie, and it really didn’t matter. This movie did not take itself seriously, and I didn’t either. I didn’t buy any of the performances. Tara Reid and David Boreanaz can’t play villains any better than Edward Furlong can play a hero. I found myself rooting against Eddie. Sorry dude, you may still look 15, but this isn’t T2 and it’s not 1991. (I will say that I loved Dennis Hopper. His 15 minutes of screen time are far and away the best of the movie. I wish this was a film just about him.)
The original Crow was good, but the sequels not so much. I saw that they might be developing a Crow remake. Oh joy. I guess as long as there are crows flying around in the sky, shitty movies will continue to be resurrected from the dead.
