Check out what happened in City of Angels!
In the City of Angels, mechanic Ashe Corven and his young son Danny met a grisly demise at the hands of notorious drug lord Judah Earl, who had brutally slaughtered a rival dealer in cold blood. The father-son duo's lifeless bodies were then callously discarded into the harbor. But their story was far from over.
Sarah, a grown woman with a penchant for painting surreal and often macabre artwork, is haunted by recurring nightmares about Ashe and Danny. Her nocturnal reveries are punctuated by visits from a mysterious crow, which seems to be drawing her attention back to Eric Draven's enigmatic ring. As All Saints' Day dawns, Sarah follows the bird to the harbor, where she bears witness to Ashe's astonishing resurrection. Shaken, she takes him in and tries to bring him up to speed on his newfound status as a revenant.
Ashe is initially consumed by panic and despair, reliving the final moments of his mortal life. But with Sarah's guidance, he begins to grasp the true nature of his existence: that he has been brought back from the brink by the Crow to exact a terrible vengeance upon those who took his life and destroyed his family. With the dark avian guide hovering ominously in the shadows, Ashe sets out on a bloody crusade against Judah's henchmen.
His first victim is Spider-Monkey, a degenerate caught in a drug-fueled haze within a seedy warehouse. Ashe extracts information from him before reducing the building to rubble, sending Spider-Monkey to an untimely grave. Nemo, another of Judah's loyal minions, meets a similar fate at Ashe's hands. The vengeful spirit tracks down his prey in a peeping booth, where he dispatches Nemo with ruthless efficiency, leaving behind a disturbing tableau featuring a doll and a paper crow.
Meanwhile, Judah has enlisted the services of Sybil, a mystic seer who possesses the uncanny ability to divine Ashe's connection to Sarah and the enigmatic Crow. Using this knowledge, Judah sets a trap for Sarah, luring her into his clutches in a desperate bid to exploit Ashe's powers and crush any hope of resistance.
As Kali (one of the malevolent forces) makes her way to Sarah's apartment, seeking to lure Ashe into a trap, he finds himself entangled in a brutal battle. The air is thick with tension as Ashe's rage boils over upon discovering that Kali is responsible for Danny's demise. With a fierce intensity, he propels her against the wall, shattering it and sending her crashing to the floor. A broken leg is only the beginning of Kali's ordeal as Ashe brutally tosses her out the window, leaving behind a gruesome crow-shaped blood pattern that seems to sear itself into his psyche.
The chase is far from over, however, as Ashe sets his sights on Curve, Judah's right-hand man. The pursuit unfolds like a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, with Ashe taking control behind the wheel of his motorcycle. A well-placed shot sends Curve's bike careening out of control, leaving him to face the unforgiving road alone. In a final act of cruelty, Ashe drags Curve to the nearby river, condemning him to a slow and agonizing demise as local parishioners cast their flower petals in the shape of a crow, an eerie echo of the violence that has unfolded.
As the Day of the Dead festival arrives, Judah makes his move, capturing the crow and subjecting it to a gruesome ritual. With its wings impaled by knives, the crow meets a horrific end, its blood serving as a twisted elixir for Judah's dark ambitions. The sudden loss of power sends Ashe reeling, leaving him on the brink of mortality. It is only through the vision of Danny that he finds the strength to carry on, his determination to rescue Sarah driving him forward.
Ashe sets out to confront Judah in his foreboding lair, an abandoned church that seems to whisper dark secrets in the wind. The ensuing battle is a clash of titans, with Judah emerging victorious and leaving Ashe bloodied and battered. In a cruel twist, Judah binds Ashe with a rope and subjects him to a merciless whipping, intent on hanging him like a common criminal.
Sarah's timely intervention proves too little, too late, as she stabs Judah in the forehead, causing him to release Ashe only to turn his attention back to her. A fatal stab wound sends Sarah tumbling to the ground, where Ashe can only hold her lifeless body. In a desperate bid to avenge Sarah's untimely demise, Ashe impales Judah on a metal pipe, but even this brutal act fails to vanquish the malevolent force.
As Judah hangs limply from the pipe, Ashe summons a murder of crows, their dark silhouettes descending upon the fallen figure like avenging angels. It is in this tableau of death and destruction that Sarah's lifeless form comes to rest, a poignant reminder of the painting she had completed earlier in the film. With his final breath, Ashe knows he can at last find peace alongside Sarah and their son, his spirit finally laid to rest.
