One day you are going to lose everything you have. Nothing
will prepare you for that day. Not Faith...... not Religion...... nothing. When someone
you love dies, you will know emptiness...... you will know what it is to be completely and
utterly alone.

Why I ask him. Why does she rest? Think about it.
The violation was, against her, far more severe. So, Why? Why has she not returned? Why
isn't she the one seeking revenge? Because. Because she knows this.

One owes respect to the living. To the dead one owes only
truth.
Voltaire
I relived the same pain and anger as
before. I wished I had never written the thing, though if I hadn't, I probably wouldn't be
here, having been consumed by my very self-destructive behaviour. I was fueled by rage and
fury for years and years. My soul felt like a hurrcane. I was raised in orphanages and
foster homes, and I felt, like, "When is God gonna give me a break?" When
Brandon died, I felt like, "Is God trying to test my limits or what?" Why let me
become best friends with the guy and take him senselessly from me? God is a bastard, if
there is one.
by
James O'Barr on the death of Brandon Lee
From his first involvement, Brandon was specific about his
thoughts and a lot of his ideas were incorporated. There is no doubt that Brandon's
talents were many and varied. I was constantly amazed at his grasp of film from every
possible perspective, and without a doubt it is he who defined his character, even at the
script stage. He contributed a great deal to the finished film - far beyond what is
expected from an actor in any normal situation.
by Alex Proyas, Director of
'The Crow'
We were very good friends. I never wanted to finish that
movie. I didn't give a damn about the movie frankly, my friend had died and that's all I
could see. We shut down production and I went back to Sydney and spent a month trying to
stop having nightmares.
again by Alex Proyas
I was very touched by the fact that Brandon's spirit, his
warmth, and his heart came through [in the film]. And he essentially made it a love story.
When I first got involved, all I saw was the dark side. All I saw was the violence. But
when I saw the movie, what came through for me was the love story. At the end, UI know
that they hadn't shot most of the love scenes and the scenes dealing with his personal
relashionship with the girl. It still came through because of his performance and what he
brought to the role; it came through loud and clear.
by Ernie Hudson who played Officer
Albrecht in the first film
Eric wasn't a vicious person until his death; he was forced
into it. There was a parallel between Brandon and his character; a truly sweet guy who
takes on darkness. Brandon was sort of a gentle soul, but when I was acting with him, I
could really feel the tremendous amount of power he threw across a room.
by Jon Polito who played Gideon
in the first film
When he filmed the sequence coming out of the grave, it was
5 degrees.
They had to put alcohol in the rain machines to keep the liquid from freezing and all
Brandon had on were his pants. But he did the scene over and over until he got it exactly
as he wanted it. He was a hell of a trouper.
