Directed by Alex Proyas, this goth cult classic has had a tremendous visual influence on the '90s and beyond. But part of the film’s visual innovation is actually due to its limited budget.
'The Crow's Co-Producer Wanted To Make an Extremely Dark, R-Rated Comic Book Movie Finding studio backing for The Crow proved challenging for Proyas and his team.

Most reached out to O'Barr, and told him, "I will make the first R-rated live-action comic book adaptation ever made.
