I'm the only one, who has been shut out. So Kersey begins avenging once more. Yes, the rape scene with the housekeeper, Rosario was tamed quite a bit.
True to form, Bronson gets his wallet stolen by some Generic Early Eighties Creeps. Ochoa follows Kersey and sees him from a distance hiding in a bush, but decides to help Paul after detecting a spotlight heading in his direction. He gets there just as he has been beaten to death by the local gang and his natural instinct kicks in. . The movie starred , was written by David Engelbach, and was directed by. It is this act of thievery that gets the ball rolling as the thieves use the information in Kersey's wallet to find his home. The British version which uses outtakes not found in the uncut version mostly banter between Nirvana and Jiver in the living room to soft over some of the British censors cuts, while shots in the British version are less explicit than the uncut version ie shots of Rosario on the bed, and Rosario's corpse shot.
It can shock, annoy, dismay and even induce unintentional mirth three of the rapist thugs dance the campiest dance ever , but it will not be ignored and people are still seeking it out today to watch for the first time. Seeing the rape scene in its full uncut glory is uncomfortable but it also underlines just how reprehensible these thugs are one of whom is a young Laurence Fishburne. When they arrive Kersey is not there so they make quick work of his maid who ends up losing her life. Proud to say I own 2, 3 and 4. Bronson's vigilantism is shocking and brutal, but it fits the crime. Now I'm a wantless man, Inspector Mankiewicz.
Still worth it for the commentary though. I orderd the uncut region 4 box set featuring the first two films. The shot used of the maid after she has been killed, is also different, again masking full frontal nudity. Sadly, the Anne Diamond connection might have you rooting for the muggers after approximately 3 minutes. The Commissioner thinks the vigilante killings may be done by Kersey again. If you lived in this version of L.
His weapon of choice is a Model 84. Will you call me, when you get back? There are a few extended interview outtakes from the Cannon documentary Electric Boogaloo, though. And I ain't hiding; Nope, I ain't hiding from shit; Cuz, everybody got a gun and anyone can load clips; Mom forgive me; Send a prayer. Guns, over-the-top violence and that 80's schlock are all present. Anthony Francoisa pops up for one scene as a police commissioner lamenting the public support for the Vigilante. Carol attempts to escape the same ordeal but is impaled on some railings and dies.
Plot follows a familiar trajectory, Paul Kersey Charles Bronson is now in Los Angeles living a normal life, when wouldn't you know it, some scumbag youths cross his path after administering some rape and pillage on folk close to him. The final mugger, Nirvana, gets away. Armed with a pistol, he walks night for night through the Bronx to find the human scum. Every hater in the world would just die; I wish. .
I would recommend this to a friend I grew up with these movies in the 80's. Also Michael Winner did part 1 so Im looking forward to that, and everthing I read for part 2 says its just violent trash which I should enjoy. I would recommend this to a friend Can't say how many versions of Death Wish movies I watched. In contrast to the powerful, brief domestic horror of the previous movie, this sequence lasts a few minutes and, on the Genuinely Unpleasant scale, ranks closer to something like I Spit On Your Grave than what you might expect from a Chuck Bronson movie. Sherwood endures it and, facing the future option of being raped again in part 3, decides to throw herself through a window, winding up impaled on a spiked fence. The next night, he spots one of the muggers, Stomper, and follows him into an abandoned building as a drug deal is about to be made between his partner and two buyers.
It was so much more than just a cheap exploitation flick, and there were some really powerful moments. Using his driving licence, they head to his home only to find his housekeeper preparing his evening meal. Scenes with sex and violence were removed or tamed down, but to keep up the running time, new mainly dialogue scenes were included.

In Death Wish 3, Kersey returns to New York, only this time to the toughest neighbourhood where an old friend has asked for help. The director, , was reportedly furious.
