THE CROW (1994) - Myca's (Bai Ling) Special Effects Head
Myca’s (Bai Ling) special-effects head used in the Alex Proyas fantasy thriller The Crow. Although never mentioned by name, the half-sister and lover of Mob boss Top Dollar (Michael Wincott) coveted Eric Draven’s (Brandon Lee) crow and the invincible powers she expected to acquire along with it. This head was used during the closing scenes, in a gruesome sequence where the crow used its talons to rend Myca’s face and gouge out her eyes.

The realistically detailed head has hand-punched hair, rubber skin painted to match Myca’s skin tone and distinctive makeup, and even wears the red leather hood worn by the character throughout much of the movie. The corner of the right eye is scratched and bloody, as required for filming. There is a small hole located at the corner of the eye fed by a tube accessed from the neck. This tube delivered the blood for that horrific moment.

The face is marked through production use and repeated cleaning of stage blood from the slightly porous surface. However, it is still in very good condition for its age and is still incredibly supple. The head is presented on a custom-built stand that incorporates the film’s title artwork and brief description, both illuminated using ultra-bright LEDs operated via a push button at the rear. To ensure maximum versatility, the head sits atop a chrome rod and is fixed to it with thick, posable wire, allowing it to be positioned in wide variety of angles. Dimensions (displayed): 21 cm x 16 cm x 43 cm (17” x 8 ½” x 6 ½”)
