Brandon Lees The Crow Movie Costume Auctioned Off For $25K

Brandon Lee’s The Crow costume is auctioned off for $25,000. The Crow, despite its cult following and critical acclaim, has been notoriously regarded as an ill-fated movie. The film featured Lee, son of late martial arts legend Bruce Lee, in his breakthrough role of Eric Draven. The Crow was primed to be Lee’s best hit. But, unfortunately, it ended up becoming the star’s final film, as Lee was accidentally killed on The Crow set, days before the movie’s completion. It was released posthumously after Lee’s passing.

Even though The Crow’s production was marred by tragedy, the film went on to become a massive success. In addition to earning widespread critical praise, The Crow was a sleeper hit at the box office, grossing $50.6 million domestically. That helped the film launch a franchise involving four Crow films and a TV show. The original The Crow movie has stayed popular in the years since it was originally released, as evidenced by how much Lee’s costume brought in during an auction.

Per THR, Lee’s The Crow costume was sold for $25,000 during an auction held by Kruse GWS Auctions. The costume consists of a long black leather coat, a black top, and black leather trousers. At the time of the auction, the costume was in mellow condition, given all the wear and tear it experienced during The Crow’s action sequences.

The auction of Brandon Lee’s The Crow costume is an affirmation that fans hold the original movie, its cast, and even its props very dearly even after all these years. The original movie, as suggested by Alex Proyas, is Lee’s legacy. Considering Lee’s tragic demise on the set of the original film, it makes sense that his costume would raise a fair amount at auction.

Though there have been plans to reboot the franchise, rekindling it without the martial artist is unlikely to gain much traction among fans, as with the original’s sequels. The Crow needs to be enjoyed and appreciated for its emotional depth and its tribute to Lee. But beyond that, it should arguably be left alone. It is a nostalgic gem that will eternally shine in the memory of the departed Lee. Franchising the film’s fragments, like the costume, honors Lee’s commercial success in Hollywood. But any other attempts to recreate the film’s only unconsciously mock the film’s substance.
