The Crow: City of Angels


"People once believed that when someone died a crow carried their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, just sometimes the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right. I thought that Eric was the last, I never imagined there would be another...." The City of Angels takes place 8 years after the happens of the first film. Sarah is now an adult who lives in Los Angeles. The city is ruled by gangs. Sarah runs a tattoo parlour with a man named Noah. The Parlour is called the Grey Gargoyle. Sarah begins dreaming of the murders of an auto mechanic (Ashe Corvin) and his son (Danny). The Crow appears to her and she goes to the murder site and finds Ashe coming back to life. Sarah helps Ashe realize why he is back and gives him the painted mask of the crow that Eric wore when he avenged his and Shelly's deaths. Ashe finds the killers and kills them. Their names are Spider Monkey, Nemo, Kali, Curve, and Judah Earl. Because Ashe chose to stay someone had to go back to the land of the dead, and sadfully it is Sarah (who is killed by Judah and his miserycord).
