How Did A Prop Gun Kill Brandon Lee On The Set Of The Crow?

brandon lee the crow

Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee’s son, was accidentally killed on the set of The Crow when a prop gun was loaded improperly, causing dummy bullets to fire with the same force as live ammunition. He was only 28 years old when he died. Why would this ever happen?

On March 31, 1993, Lee was filming a scene in The Crow where his character is shot and killed by thugs. In the scene, Lee’s character walks into his apartment and discovers his fiancée being beaten and raped, and a thug played by actor Michael Massee is to fire a Smith & Wesson Model 629 .44 Magnum revolver at Lee’s character as he walks into the room.

Stephan-Bibrowski

Barnum & Bailey Circus’Sideshow performer Stephan Bibrowski, also known as Lionel the Lion-Faced Man.

Stephan Bibrowski was born in Bielsk, Poland in 1890 with stunning blonde hair — that covered his entire body from head to toe. Aghast at this so-called abomination, his mother gave him up and turned him over to a businessman who paraded him across Europe as a sideshow attraction before taking him to America in 1901.⁠

Once in the U.S., Barnum & Bailey quickly snatched Bibrowski up and put him on display as “Lionel the Lion-Faced Man,” describing him as “half-man half-lion.” For 20 years, Bibrowski was exhibited as a “freak,” with audiences scarcely realizing that the gentle soul behind the hair was a soft-spoken man who knew five languages and nurtured a secret dream of leaving the stage and becoming a dentist.⁠
