What’s up, folks? This week on the podcast, I welcome back Rikki Tikki Timber as we discuss the curse connected to the 1994 film, The Crow. The curse surrounding the 1994 film "The Crow" and the Lee family is a series of tragic events that have led to speculation and myth. The central figure of this curse narrative is Brandon Lee, the son of legendary martial artist and actor Bruce Lee. Whether it’s the production being plagued with accidents and mishaps, including crew injuries, equipment malfunctions, and the tragic death of Brandon Lee being shot with a prop gun that had a fragment of a real bullet lodged in it or the mysterious circumstances in 1973 under which Bruce Lee died, these events have led to a persistent belief in a curse affecting the Lee family and those associated with the film "The Crow." Thank you, everyone, for your support. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out on Instagram at @so_you_like_horror or email us directly at soyoulikehorror@gmail.com.
