His acting debut was through a television movie Kung Fu: The Movie (1986) and its TV series adaptation, Kung-Fu: The Next Generation (1987). But his name really soared after being successfully appointed to play the main character, Eric Draven in the film The Crow.
The Crow itself is an adaptation of the hit comic of the same name written by James O’ Barr.
The Shooting Event
In the early days of filming, the shooting process carried out by Lee went fine. But everything took a tragic turn on March 31, 1993.
Launch the main page Wikipedia the actor, Brandon Lee and the crew were shooting the film at the time The Crowher as usual. Well coincidentally that day the scene that Lee did was a shooting scene against his Draven character.
The specific scenario is Draven is shot by a character named Funboy (Michael Massee). Funboy shoots Draven after seeing Funboy and his gang of thugs, raping and killing his fiancé, Shelly Webster (Sofia Shinas).
Now Massee uses a Magnum Revolver type weapon. And this weapon in the previous few scenes he had used and was safe. But when he used it for this Draven shooting scene, it turned into a big disaster.
Bullet dummy (not a real gun bullet) which was in his gun, suddenly exploded and hit Brandon’s abdomen. Even though he was immediately rushed to the hospital and went through 6 hours of surgery, unfortunately Brandon’s life could not be saved. He also died at the age of 28 years.

After Brandon’s death, all producers and Paramount Pictures faced a difficult decision. Specifically, whether they will continue or just finish the entire shoot.
Finally they decided The Crow keep shooting. As a result, some scenes that have not been shot by Lee, have to undergo modifications again in an all-out manner.
And luckily when it was all over and released on May 13, 1994, The Crow get a very good response.
