What's the kung fu movie where the guy died in the middle of filming so the directors, etc?

Question

decided to work his funeral into the film?

Answer 1

The Crow. Brandon Lee was the actor that died. On March 31st 1993, the 52nd day of a 58 day shoot, Brandon prepared to film his first real scene without make up on. The scene was to explain how he and his onscreen fiance' were murdered. It was recalled as a strange day because the way the two characters were to be killed was changed several times before they decided that Eric Draven (Lee) was to enter his apartment and come across his fiance' being beaten by four thugs, upon which one was to turn and shoot Eric and leave him wounded. The cameras began to role and Brandon entered the apartment in character. The Michael Massee character, Fun Boy spots Eric, holds the gun up and shoots as planned, Brandon held his stomach, motioned to the director to 'Cut' then fell backwards against the door. Seconds later the director Alex Proyas shouted 'CUT', Brandon remained on the floor, Jeff Imada ran over to Brandon with a paramedic to see if he'd hit his head on the door when he fell and knocked himself out. They discovered a thin slit an inch below to the right of his navel, but this didn't hold any clues as to what happened. They removed Brandon's jacket and spotted a hole in his T-shirt. By this time Brandon had slipped into unconciousness. An ambulance was called and Brandon was rushed to hospital. He underwent 5 hours of surgery upon which they discovered a bullet had been the cause of the damage. Eliza Hutton made it to the hospital just in time, at 1:04pm Brandon Lee died.

Answer 2

While Brandon Lee did die during the filming of The Crow, I do not recall them working his funeral into the film.

The movie was highly stylized and a real funeral wouldn't have fit the tone of the film, especially in terms of production design.

Also, it wasn't a kung fu movie. It was just a movie with a guy who could do kung fu.

So, unless you worded your question wrong, it can't be The Crow.

Answer 3

there was a movie made in 1983 called 'the 8 diagram pole fighter' aka 'invincible pole fighter' it stars gordon liu ( from kill bill)
sadly the film was marred by the death of the supporting actor, alexander fu sheng ( one of the best actors to ever star in Kung fu movies)
he was killed in car crash half way through production, and you canb see the effect through the second half of the film.. there is a funeral that takes place in it, it is the funeral of his 5 brothers and father, but is used to show the sorrow of fu sheng's death

it's the nearest thing I can think of to the question you asked, Brandon lee was killed during the filming of the crow, but I don't remember the funeral being in it

Answer 4

It isnt The Crow. It was actually his father, Bruce Lee's film Game of Death.
The funeral scene for Billy Lo was actual footage of Bruce Lee's funeral.

Answer 5

crow 2 Brandon Lee Bruce lee's son
