DVD-ROM Features, Star Brandon Lee, son of celebrated martial artist Bruce Lee, was killed accidentally by an improperly loaded stunt gun on March 31, 1993. There were 3 more days of his scenes to be filmed, and his stunt doubles, Chad Stahelski and Jeff Cadiente, replaced him in a few crucial scenes. The film crew was placed on hiatus, and the film was reworked to be less violent. A voiceover narration by a young girl replaced the harsh character Skull Cowboy who directs Draven on the rules of the dead. There has been speculation that the "family curse" allegedly responsible for the untimely deaths of Bruce Lee and his older brother had also claimed Lee's son.
Miramax Home Video #3034 includes Brandon Lee's last on-camera interview.
