History Trivia / TheCrowCityOfAngels

** Ashe and Judah's fight is much longer and more personal, with barbs traded before Ashe uses Curve's pistol to shoot Judah, who withstands it and then begin to lay a brutal beat down on Ashe, while Louis, Amede, and the rest of the crowd think it's just a show that Judah is putting on for them in celebration of Day of the Dead.

* ExecutiveMeddling: The film was originally going to end on a much darker note. As hinted at the first movie's deleted scenes with the Skull Cowboy, the Crow can only stay in the land of the living as long as the person has unfinished business. Danny comes to Ashe during the battle with Judah, telling him he has to leave. Ashe refuses, saying he has to save [[spoiler: Sarah.]] During the battle, [[spoiler: Sarah]] is killed. With an innocent person dead because of his actions, Ashe then becomes unable to move on to the land of the dead to be reunited with his son. Neither alive nor dead, he's condemned to wander through Los Angeles for eternity. Deciding this was too dark and depressing, a new ending was cobbled together from scenes already shot and dialogue being dubbed over, such as Danny encouraging his father instead of telling him to leave.

** Ashe's talk with Danny was different, with Danny pleading for his dad to come to the land of the dead, and if he keeps fighting they can never be together again. Ashe can't bring himself to abandon Sarah, so forces himself to refuse, but Danny warns Ashe in a dark voice, hinting at some other dark spirit involved in the Crow, before pleading with his dad one last time.
** Louis and Amede watch as Ashe chases after Danny into the crowd, only to run into a drunk dwarf who mocks Ashe, thinking he wants sex.

** As Ashe leaves with Sarah's body, Louis and Amede wonder if they could have done something to stop Judah and [[spoiler: save Sarah.]] Amede, feeling guilty, wonders if that means they're all awful people, but Louis says they can try to be better before musing that the city of angels is full of ghosts and devils, but Ashe and Sarah might have been the real angels, even if they were dark ones before leaving the streets to go home. Sybil watches from the Camera Obscura before setting the tied up Stag Beetle free, and then following it into the shadows.

* DeletedScene: There was an awful lot that ended up on the cutting room floor.

** Creator/JonBonJovi auditoned for the lead role.

* HeyItsThatGuy: Your eyes don't deceive you. That is in fact Thuy Trang (aka, [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Trini Kwan]]) as Kali.

** [[Music/{{Deftones}} The Deftones]] appear as the band playing during the Day of the Dead festival.
