    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      According to Michael Winner's biography, Charles Bronson's alcoholic brother often visited the set to borrow money. Bronson was careful not to give him too much in case someone might kill him for it. He was later found dead in a cheap hotel room having been stabbed in the buttocks.
    • Goofs
      In Death Wish (1974), Kersey's daughter is married (her husband is seen with Kersey at the hospital after the attack) but in Death Wish II (1982), no mention is made of Kersey's son-in-law. However, given that several years pass between the movies, it is possible the two separated and/or divorced sometime between films.
    • Quotes

      Paul Kersey: You believe in Jesus?

      Stomper: Yes, I do.

      Paul Kersey: Well, you're gonna meet him.

      [Paul shoots Stomper dead]

    • Alternate versions
      The R-rated US release is heavily edited missing part of the rape scene of the maid and most of the rape scene of Kersey's daughter (and her graphic suicide). The uncut version is available on BluRay.

    Mind-blowing masterpiece of sleaze
    Be grateful for Michael Winner's sledgehammer sensitivity because it produced this classic.

    None of Paul Kersey's (Charles Bronson) remaining family and friends get off lightly in this twisted nightmare of domestic violence, anal rape, vigilante justice and simplistic politics.

    For fans of rough justice, the rape of Bronson's Mexican housemaid is truly amazing and eroticized like crazy by Winner's leering direction.

    Thomas F. Duffy as Nirvana, the film's lead thug, is really horrible and a joy to behold (in a perverse way).

    Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page provides a rock score that scorches the L.A. imagery and Vincent Gardenia returns as the cop who prefers to look the other way.

    A Cannon-backed sleazefest that brings home the groceries if you like eating trash.

    Screw GONE WITH THE WIND. This is much more entertaining.
