Brandon Lee: Hungry Ghosts, Cursed Movies, and a Goth Masterpiece
Manage episode 443928390 series 2949958
Haunted by the legacy of his superstar father and by an old family curse, Brandon Lee tried to outrun the past. But the past came after him all the same. It was said that his father, Bruce Lee, was taken by that family curse at just 32 years old, and that it then followed Brandon to the set of The Crow, a cross between a superhero blockbuster and a brooding art film that was all goth. The shoot was plagued by injury, electrocution, storms, fires, and car crashes – and culminated in tragedy when a prop gun fired a real bullet.

The loss of Brandon Lee has Jake thinking about that old Billy Joel lyric: "Only the Good Die Young." What other artists were taken from us too soon? Let Jake know at 617-906-6638, disgracelandpod@gmail.com, or on socials @disgracelandpod.
