Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEli Roth spent a lot of time with Chicago detectives to get the details of the police district (station) correct. In the film in the corner of an open murder case board appears a card that says "We're gonna need a bigger board," a reference to the famous Jaws (1975) line "You're gonna need a bigger boat." This was something Roth actually saw on a board in the police captain's office.
- GoofsKersey doesn't wear gloves and leaves fingerprints all over. The cops never dust for prints.
- Quotes
[from trailer]
Punk Leader: Who are you?
Paul Kersey: Your last customer.
[Paul shoots the punk leader]
- Crazy creditsWhen the title is shown on screen, it is faded away by the image of "flatlining" on a medical monitor. This effect is used in the closing credits as well.
- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, the distributor chose to make reductions to a scene of torture in order to obtain a 15 classification. An uncut 18 classification was available.

Featured review
Far better then the 6.4 it's getting at the time am writing this. Have seen all the death films, wish as am that old. Really enjoyed this remake. It is a new take on an old film and they haven't tried to copy it to the letter. The story is the same but done differently if you get my drift. If your as old as me then I think you will enjoy it. If your not as old as me then I think you will love it. Clive.
