A 1996 film, the sequel to The Crow (1994), written by David S. Goyer and directed by Tim Pope.Set in the near future, the plot follows the same beats as the first film, but with a new protagonist and villains. Motorcycle mechanic Ashe Corven (Vincent Perez) and his son Danny are murdered after they witness a gangland killing in the wrong neighborhood. Ashe rises from the grave to extract vengeance against the motley assortment of thugs who killed him, which brings him into conflict with the local crime lord Judah (Richard Brooks) and his mystic adviser Sibyl. The character of Sarah is now an adult and uses her experience with Eric Draven to help guide Ashe on his rampage against the villains.It was also notable for featuring Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers star Thuy Trang as the villainous Kali, in what would be her final role before her tragic death in 2001. | |

Shower of Angst: Sarah takes one at the start of the film, after waking up from a nightmare. It combines Fanservice (naked Mia Kirshner) with plot information (Sarah has self-harming scars and several large tattoos, suggesting that things haven't gone well for her since the end of the first film). | |

Same Story, Different Names: The high concept of the film is almost identical to the first film. A man and his loved one are murdered by a gang on a holiday. The man gets brought back a year later on the same holiday to extract vengeance on the Quirky Miniboss Squad who killed him. This prompts the crime lord of the city, who is in it For the Evulz, to consults a mystical woman to help him fight the man. | |

Downer Ending | |
| The Crow: City of Angels / int_4e3d253b | comment |
The ending originally intended by the director is a Downer Ending: It has a pause during the final battle, after the crow has been killed, which greatly weakens Ashe. Danny appears to him in a vision, and tells him if he doesn't die now, he will never be able to again. Ashe refuses and returns to life to save Sarah. However, Sarah is then sadly killed by Judah. As she is dying, she gives Ashe Eric's wedding ring, and they declare their love for each other. Ashe then receives a Heroic Second Wind and uses a murder of crows to devour Judah. The film then ends with Ashe as an immortal wandering the earth, unable to die and reunite in the afterlife with Danny and Sarah. | |

Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Ashe was designed to be as different from Eric Draven as possible. Whereas Eric was a skilled fighter, Ashe is more of a trickster, to the point of performing magic tricks. Also, Eric was a musician about to get married, while Ashe was a mechanic and single father. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| The Crow: City of Angels / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Quite a few. "Sibyl" means a seer or psychic, Kali, Judah's bloodthirsty Dragon, shares her name with a Hindu death goddess. Ashe's given name sounds like "ash," which is associated with death. His surname Corven derives from "corvid," which means "crow." Judah's name is a version of the name Judas, most famously the name of the betrayer of Jesus. | |

Viewers Are Morons: Pleasingly averted. In earlier drafts of the script Ashe was a teenager and Danny was his kid brother. It was ultimately decided that fans of The Crow were, after all, emotionally mature enough to empathise with an adult losing a child, and that the presumed target demographic of the film (ie teenage boys) did not need a protagonist to be just like them in order to relate. | |

Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Inverted. Ashe is a rare male example. | |

Sadist: Judah Earl admits point blank to one of his goons he executes (because the guy objected that the bad quality of their drugs was cutting into their profits since it killed too many customers) that hurting people is his only enjoyment. | |

Impaled with Extreme Prejudice | |
| The Crow: City of Angels / int_c93a6560 | comment |
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Judah ritualistically kills Ashe's crow by holding it down on its back and driving two daggers through its wings and one through its heart. No Animals Were Harmed but it's excruciating to watch. Judah himself, courtesy of an enraged Ashe. It doesn't take. | |

Serial Escalation | |
| The Crow: City of Angels / int_ce104b8e | comment |
Serial Escalation: In the first film, Myca deduces that the villains must kill the crow to remove Eric's powers, but they only manage to injure it. In this film, Sibyl helps Judah kill the crow and steal Ashe's powers for himself. | |

Badass Longcoat | |
| The Crow: City of Angels / int_d01cffbc | comment |
Badass Longcoat: One of the design conventions of the first film that the sequel followed. To help differentiate, Ashe's coat was designed to evoke the image of a priest's cassock. | |

Revised Ending | |
| The Crow: City of Angels / int_d51158ee | comment |
Revised Ending: The ending of the film used in the final cut is not the one originally intended by the director. The ending originally intended by the director is a Downer Ending: It has a pause during the final battle, after the crow has been killed, which greatly weakens Ashe. Danny appears to him in a vision, and tells him if he doesn't die now, he will never be able to again. Ashe refuses and returns to life to save Sarah. However, Sarah is then sadly killed by Judah. As she is dying, she gives Ashe Eric's wedding ring, and they declare their love for each other. Ashe then receives a Heroic Second Wind and uses a murder of crows to devour Judah. The film then ends with Ashe as an immortal wandering the earth, unable to die and reunite in the afterlife with Danny and Sarah. The second ending (created by Harvey Weinstein) is somewhat more optimistic. The crow still dies, but Ashe does not receive a vision from Danny. Sarah also dies the same way, and after Ashe is able to defeat Judah, he is able to peacefully cross over in the afterlife with Sarah and Danny. | |

Dystopia Justifies the Means | |
| The Crow: City of Angels / int_e03070b7 | comment |
Dystopia Justifies the Means: Judah Earl is convinced that he has visited Hell in the past and liked what he saw. He takes control of Los Angeles and tries to recreate his vision on the entire city, flooding it with dangerous drugs and forcing the people to live in a rundown place filled with vices and in fear of him. He kills one of his dealers for objecting that the amount of addicts who die is hurting their profits, suggesting that (like Top Dollar before him) he prefers further corruption over money. | |

Hell Seeker: Judah Earl, the cultist drug dealer villain, is convinced that he witnessed Hell during a Near-Death Experience and loved it. Since he can't go back there again without dying, he decides the next best thing is to shape the world in Hell's image. | |

Cruel Mercy | |
| The Crow: City of Angels / int_e19e68 | comment |
Cruel Mercy: In the original cut, Kali's death is different. She is still alive, though crippled and unable to move, because her back were broken after being thrown out of the window, and she is seen crawling along the ground. He then teleports down and she begs him to kill her because she is in pain. Ashe refuses and smiles as he stands over her, telling her that he has already sent her to Hell. | |
