Plot hole: Eric and Shelly were killed because they were trying to fight tenant eviction. Yet, a year later the building is seemingly abandoned. Eric and Shelly's stuff is even still there. So what were they killed for if nothing was ever done with the building?
The Crow (1994)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Alex Proyas
Starring: Ernie Hudson, Michael Wincott, Brandon Lee, Rochelle Davis
Continuity mistake: In the scene at the bar with Gideon when the black guy pours Gideon a drink it is only about 1/3 full. When Gideon drinks it in the next shot it is almost full.
Eric Draven: It can't rain all the time.
Trivia: Right after Gideon's Pawn Shop blows up and the police officer and Eric are talking, the officer yells at the people looting the shop; one looter is running away with a TV set. This is actually James O'Barr, creator of The Crow comic series! He was on the set one day and the filmmakers asked if he wanted to be in the movie.
Question: In this movie Eric came back one year after his murder, but why in the other movies do the others come back shortly after their deaths?
