Some time ago, Ashe Corven and his son Danny were killed when they stumbled across a pack of drug dealers murdering a fellow dealer. The dealers work for Los Angeles drug kingpin Judah Earl. Local tattoo artist Sarah, who has great knowledge of the crow legend because of what happened with her late friend Eric Draven, has been having dreams about Ashe and Danny. One night when a crow leads her to the scene of the murders of Ashe and Danny, Ashe appears before her. The crow has resurrected Ashe, so Ashe can go after Judah and his right hand man Curve. With the guidance of the crow, Ashe starts killing off Judah’s men one by one, on his way to Judah.
About Movie:
The Crow: City of Angels is an American superhero film directed by Tim Pope and written by David S. Goyer. It serves as a standalone sequel to the 1994 film The Crow and is the second entry in The Crow film series. The movie stars Vincent Pérez, Mia Kirshner, Richard Brooks, Iggy Pop, Thomas Jane, and Thuy Trang.
Filming began in October 1995 in Los Angeles, with Jean-Yves Escoffier as the director of photography. The production was initially planned for Montreal, but production designer Alex McDowell convinced Pope to choose Los Angeles to differentiate the look from the original Crow film. After an eight-and-a-half-week shoot, filming wrapped in December 1995.
The Crow: City of Angels was released in theaters on August 30, 1996. On October 7, 2014, Lionsgate released the film on DVD in a triple feature set alongside the other two Crow sequels.
