Production companies are Davis Films, Hassell Free Productions, Electric Shadow Company, and Pressman Film, which is now led by Sam Pressman.

The $50M-budgeted movie was shot on location in Prague and Munich . "The Crow" began life in 1989 as a superhero comic book series created by James O'Barr. It is centered around Eric, a man who is killed along with his fiancée by a gang of criminals after the couple's car breaks down.

A year later, he was resurrected by a spectral crow, allowing him to set out on a path of revenge against those who did them wrong. The comic received its first adaptation in 1994.

The movie gained a level of infamy due to the on-set death of star Brandon Lee. The movie spawned three more movies, "The Crow: City of Angels" (1996), "The Crow: Salvation" (2000), and "The Crow: Wicked Prayer" (2005) as well as TV series called "The Crow: Stairway to Heaven" (1998).
