History Film / TheCrowWickedPrayer

* MeaningfulName: Jimmy Cuervo, [[IncrediblyLamePun Luc Crash and Lola Byrne]], arguably Lily Ignites the Dawn

* MythologyGag: A few to [[Film/TheCrow the first film]]:

* TheRez: The Raven Aztecs live on a political reservation that is in transition to a casino reservation.

Jimmy Cuervo (Creator/EdwardFurlong) is a down on his luck ex-convict in love with Lily Ignites the Dawn (Creator/EmmanuelleChriqui), the beautiful daughter of the head priest of the neighboring Raven Aztec tribe. Unfortunately, their romance is cut short when Luc Crash (Creator/DavidBoreanaz), a former prison buddy of Jimmy's, murders them under the instruction of his shaman girlfriend Lola Byrne (Creator/TaraReid, [[WTHCastingAgency no shit]]) for a ritual that will turn Luc into Satan. Jimmy is resurrected by the title bird to exact his RoaringRampageOfRevenge and stop Luc before he can bring about the end of the world.

-->'''Jimmy:''' You need to keep better track of your ammo.
-->'''War:''' It's been a long night.

** Famine and War are clearly disturbed (and {{Squick}}ed) when Lola cuts out Lily's eyes (Pestilence seems somewhat nonplussed, or he just doesn't care).
** War is also {{squick}}ed when Luc cuts out Jimmy's heart.

* ShoutOut: We get a flashback to a dance themed [[Film/BackToTheFuture Enchantment Under the Sea]].

* AdaptationExpansion: In the original novel, the only villains were the characters analogous to Luc and Lola. The movie gives them a gang.

* ContrivedCoincidence: The man who killed Luc's father just happens to be [[spoiler: the father of the man Jimmy killed]].

* EvenEvilHasStandards: As bad as they all are, most of Luc's gang has moments of this throughout the film (which seem to conflict with earlier and later actions they take) except for Luc himself.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Easy to miss in most examples, but there's foreshadowing throughout the film that Luc's plot is doomed to fail.

* FreudianExcuse: Luc's father was a pastor who was killed for the donations he had received. This caused him to hate God.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: Jimmy kills one man with a bug zapper and another with a baseball bat
** Pestilence is killed with a neck snap after being ''stunned'' by the bug zapper.

* MythologyGag: A few to [[Film/TheCrow the first film]]

* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: Dennis Hopper as El Nino the jive-talking pimp/Satanist priest

* ShoutOut: We get a flashback to a dance themed [[Film/BackToTheFuture Enchantment Under the Sea]]
* SpitefulSpit: Jimmy does one at Pestilence's corpse, and another later right in Luc's face

* VoiceOfTheLegion: Luc has this at times when he becomes "Satan"

Jimmy Cuervo (Creator/EdwardFurlong) is a down on his luck ex-convict in love with Lily Ignites the Dawn (Creator/EmmanuelleChriqui), the beautiful daughter of the head priest of the neighboring Raven Aztec tribe.

[[YouShouldKnowThisAlready Jimmy is resurrected by the title bird]] to exact his RoaringRampageOfRevenge and stop Luc before he can bring about the end of the world.

* HorsemenOfTheApocalypse: Luc is "Death" in a gang nicknamed after the Four Horsemen.

* NoNameGiven: The other three Horsemen are only known by War, Pestilence, and Famine
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Luc tries to appeal to Jimmy that he should join the Horsemen because he too is trying to "put wrong things right."

[[caption-width-right:213:"Someone owes me two lifetimes and a set of perfect blue eyes."]]

The fourth film in [[Franchise/TheCrow the Crow franchise]], loosely based on Norman Partridge's tie-in novel of the same name.

* NotSoDifferent: Luc tries to appeal to Jimmy that he should join the Horsemen because he too is trying to "put wrong things right."

* InfantImmortality: A small boy is the only person Jimmy manages to save at Ravenfest

* {{Retirony}}: Jimmy is killed the day before he gets off parole.

* TemptingFate: "It's a great day to be alive, ain't it?!"

** Lola and Famine (The former more so) seem disturbed by the murder of the witnesses in the Church. In Lola's case, she seems disturbed by Luc's action beyond his revenge against Mosses ([[spoiler: who murdered his father]]).

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: Death.]] It still takes a knife to finish him off.

* MarkOfTheBeast: Luc get's this on the upper right of his chest after he cut's out Jimmy's heart and Lola performs a spell.

** When confronting Pestilence, Jimmy greets him with "Boo," the same thing Eric says when Albrecht asks if he's a ghost.

** [[spoiler: Luc]] dies impaled by a sharp rock, much like Top Dollar is impaled on the spike of a church gargoyle.

* PoliceAreUseless: Tanner arrives at a crime scene too late to stop the bad guys, brings a mob to help Jimmy in the final conflict without telling them he's the Crow, and lets Luc and Lola escape after she confesses to cutting Lily's eyes out

* VirginSacrifice: One is needed for the ritual. Subverted in that when they get to the chapel where they intend to pick up their virgin bride they see that she is [[ShotgunWedding visibly pregnant]]. Further played with in that when they find one, it's a male, which stumps Luc.

* MythologyGag: War calls Jimmy "Killer of Killers," the title given to Eric by Top Dollar in [[Film/TheCrow the first film]].
