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?

Suggested correction: It's never stated why the bad guys wanted the residents evicted—just that their goal was getting them evicted. So in the end, they did accomplish their goal.

Continuity mistake: When Eric paints his face in the beginning, there are 2 vertical black lines above and below his eyes. The rest of the movie, he doesn't have these lines.

Suggested correction: I just watched the scene. There's only the single line throughout the scene. I believe you may be mistakenly thinking the shadows on his face are more makeup lines. (He has very sharp facial features that create a few harsh shadows in the moody lighting.)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Brandon walks in on Top Dollar's meeting and there's a big shoot out, the guy in the trousers with hearts on them gets shot and killed, but a few seconds later you see him again shooting at Eric.

More quotes from The Crow

Trivia: In one of the flashback scenes, we see T-Bird reading from a book - "Abashed the devil stood, and felt how awful goodness is." The book is Milton's Paradise Lost. (NOTE: the line after this sounds like it is also a quote from the book, but it is not) David Patrick Kelly, who played T-Bird was so into his character that he bought an antique copy of the book. It is this we see him holding in the scene.

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?

Answer: There is no explaination given in the films, they are just brought back when the crow feels it is the right time to avenge their murder.
