The Crow: City of Angels is a 1996 American supernatural action film that serves as a sequel to the 1994 film The Crow, which was based on the comic book series of the same name by James O'Barr. The film was directed by Tim Pope and starred Vincent Perez as Ashe Corven, the new protagonist who becomes the new Crow after he and his son are brutally murdered by a gang of criminals led by a man named Judah Earl (played by Richard Brooks).
After his resurrection, Ashe seeks revenge against the gang members responsible for his death and that of his son. As he embarks on his mission of vengeance, he is aided by a young woman named Sarah (played by Mia Kirshner) who is also seeking to avenge the death of her brother at the hands of the same gang. Together, they take on Judah's henchmen one by one, using the powers granted to Ashe by the Crow, which include enhanced strength, agility, and the ability to heal from wounds quickly.
One of the notable aspects of The Crow: City of Angels is its dark, gothic aesthetic, which is reminiscent of the first film and the comic book series it is based on. The film also features an atmospheric soundtrack that includes contributions from artists such as Hole, Iggy Pop, and Korn.
Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, The Crow: City of Angels was a box office success and spawned several sequels and spin-offs, including a television series and a video game.
