The dealers work for Los Angeles drug kingpin Judah Earl. Local tattoo artist Sarah, who has great knowledge of the crow legend because of what happened with her late friend Eric Draven, has been having dreams about Ashe and Danny. One night when a crow leads her to the scene of the murders of Ashe and Danny, Ashe appears before her. The crow has resurrected Ashe, so Ashe can go after Judah and his right hand man Curve. With the guidance of the crow, Ashe starts killing off Judah's men one by one, on his way to Judah.

User Review
A misunderstood film that deserves more credit
Rating:
After reading most of the comments users have written about this film I'm
quite disappointed. I am an insane follower of the first Crow film and had
to see the second. I knew full well it wouldn't be as good as the first,
but
then again, what could?
The Crow 2 is a very sad and ironic story based on the first films
boundaries. Notice how Sarah in the Crow has to sacrifice herself for
another version of him in the second. Crow 2 is a film of what happened to
Eric Draven in the first and is simply a story of someone
else.
Just like in the first film a man has his loved one(s) taken from him in a
terrible way and then killed, again in a horrible way. For the second
time,
"A Crow" guides this tormented man back to the land of the living to claim
revenge on those who killed him.
Ironically, he meets up with Sarah, a now grown woman from the first who
feels for the Crow and sacrifices her life so that he can live and avenge
his and his son's death.
A very sad and apocolyptic film that depicts the grimy, evil way that
humans
are steering towards themselves to in the future to come but also keeps
the
powerful love factor from the first.
If you were an obsessive Crow fan, see this film. If not, you may find it
hard to understand and will not enjoy it as much...
