Now I'm not counting Brandon Lee cause he is the best but I mean from the 3 sequels. Who do you like better: Vincent Perez, Eric Mabius, or Edward Furlong? Personally I'm a fan of Eric Mabius.

I'm going to have to go with Vincent Perez. I haven't seen much work from either of Vincent Perez or Eric Mabius but I would just have to go with Perez because he has sex appeal and seems more frightening at the same time.

I have nothing against Edward Furlong but he just isn't that imitating as The Crow. He seemed like a kiddie crow.

i think that vincent perez is the best crow overall. he even comes eric of the original crowcomic closer than brandon lee did.

ok i know im going to get flamed for this but id say Vincent Perez and Brandon Lee were about equal with a slight edge to vincent. The way he humanized Ashe was truly brilliant and made the character special. U saw that in his life he was a religious man ( if you've read the script or seen City of angel's 2nd coming it would be noted by a quote from what I believe was Dante's Inferno * midway through our lifes journey I came to myself within a dark wood where the straight way was lost * ud know what i was talking about and how he lowered his head in prayer when he sent Curve off into the river ) he was conflicted with murdering them. While it seemed that Eric ( in the movie anyway ) only wanted to be with shelly and every murder brought him closer to his wish. Their relationship was what drove him mad because he had felt that something so perfect should not have been killed ( in the novel ).

Vincent Perez, without a doubt. I mean, I've always liked him as an actor, but I just can't bring myself to take Mabius or Furlong seriously.
