Brandon Lee

Brandon Lee

Brandon Bruce Lee (李國豪 February 1, 1965March 31, 1993) was an American actor, and the son of Bruce Lee.

Lee was shot and killed while filming the movie The Crow, when an old bullet lodged in the barrel of the gun was propelled by the firing of a blank during the scene in which Lee's character Eric Draven is shot by an armed gang. The shot of Brandon Lee getting hit with the bullet was destroyed as part of the legal settlement, and the shot of the gun firing the bullet that killed him was not used in the movie, although some urban myths claim it was.

The shooting was ruled an accident, though many fans suspected foul play. The deaths of father and son, 20 years apart, were both suspicious.

Lee was buried next to his father in Lake View Cemetery, Capitol Hill, Seattle, Washington.
