Brandon Lee's Curse: Tragedy on The Crow Set

On April 1st, 33 years ago, Brandon Lee, son of the legendary Bruce Lee,

died at just 28 in a freak accident on the set of the movie The Crow.

He got hit by a bullet fragment from a prop gun loaded with blanks during a scene with co-star Michael Massey.

It happened on March 31st, 1993, and the film was almost wrapped.

Before his death, Brandon was convinced his family carried a curse on the men,

stemming from his grandfather supposedly crossing some Chinese,

merchants who hired a mystic for revenge. He shared this fear with his fiance, Eliza Hutton,

saying he wouldn't live past 30. He had intense nightmares about dying young like his dead,

dreaming of a gun and a bullet tearing through him. Brandon pushed Eliza to marry quick and

start a family before time ran out, mirroring the plot of The Crow where his character gets murdered

before his wedding. The production was dog by bad luck, with fires, car crashes, and even an

electrocution, plus earlier issues with prop guns. Insiders say these mishaps fueled curse talk

around the set. Brandon was laid to rest on April 3rd next to his father at Lakeview Cemetery in

Seattle, leaving a legacy tied to that eerie family belief and a movie forever linked to tragedy.
