If they have to make another movie, how about...


Every movie, or idea for a movie, seems to have the Crow being a guy who in real life could have kicked the ass of any badguy who crossed his path, and through death he only gains immortality. So, how about we have a couple of establishing scenes that introduce us to some loner, not a full out scrawny dweeb, but simply a quiet, intorverted guy who always sees a lot of pain and suffering but never tries to interfer. One day, walking down the streets of his sunken city, he witnesses a girl from school getting raped. He's seen her around, she's seen him, but they've never talked before. He almost walks on by, because no one has seen him, but something snaps and he finally decides to give heroism a try. Needless to say he has no chance, but the fact that he fought so nobly and tried so hard gives him the right to come back, guided by a Crow, to finish the only fight he's ever been in. It gives him the chance to, even in death, finally stand up for all those who he has seen suffering.
I have no idea for fight scenes, or anything else. I do know that the movie would be psychological, because since he was never violent or confrontational in life he would be awkward in his vengance at first, but after a while really take to it, and start to enjoy it, making him more and more frightened of what he's become even as he willingly continues his rampage.

I'm not planning on submitting this, I'm not some hack screenwriter who is looking for finishing touches on the next Straight-to-Video rehash of a great movie, I'm just putting out an idea.

I don't understand how you could say any of the mortal men before they became The Crow could have kicked the ass of any badguy who crossed their path? Surely if this was the case, then they wouldn't be living in *beep* and their wife/son/girlfriend wouldn't be dead.

Anyway, I kind of like the angle you are going with, purely on originality. However you would have to establish things a bit more. Maybe this girl he has a crush on? Or was friends with in the past, then they fell out over something, and dont talk now and thats why he has to think about it for a minute before helping her, as well as him being weak? Just to establish the character and his emotions and reasons for coming back from the dead a bit further.

But nice, new, take on the series.
