adonis98-743-186503 Architect/vigilante Paul Kersey arrives back in New York City and is forcibly recruited by a crooked police chief to fight street crime caused by a large gang terrorizing the neighborhoods. Death Wish 3 is 50 times the Death Wish that the 2018 remake lacked to be it's fun, over the top and above all action packed from start to finish with Charles Bronson being an absolute beast and as much as i might loved the first one? This one is way it's like the Rambo: First Blood Part II of the Series and it's just as good. (A+)

ivo-cobra8 Death Wish 3 is the year of Rambo one of my all time favorite classic action films from Charles Bronson and it is really underrated. I love good action movies and I love the third sequel way better than the original! Charles Bronson is the best in this movie! I watched this movie more as a kid than the first two movies. I love this movie to death I have it on Blu-ray and I have a VHS tape still. There are a lot of people who hate this movie like actor Alex Winter mentioned it is one of the worst movies made in the 80's from Cannon I disagree. Charles Bronson was disappointed with the film, I wasn't. This movie it is not for everyone it is more for action junkies like my self it is for fun and entertaining.To you, this is underrated misunderstood prototypical "good" action movie -- intense, violent gang war on a streets perfectly executed, original action, shown to the tune of a forgettable and occasionally insulting story.This movie was filmed the same year as Rambo: First Blood Part II and honestly Charles Bronson is Rambo in the urban jungle defending innocents on the street and fight evil in New York City. New York a city pushed to edge, people pushed to the limit and no one's got the guts to stop them. But there is one way, one man who want be pushed "Charles Bronson" and now he is in the middle of a war. In a world gone mad there is only one law is Charles Bronson Death wish 3! Bronson is back in New York bringing justice to the streets... Death Wish 3.1985 sequel, Paul Kersey, aka "The Vigilante", finds himself battling street punks in order to bring peace back to a once quiet New York neighborhood. Despite the New York setting, the film was actually made in England.It's blisteringly fast paced, brutally violent, the characters from the cops to the punks to the citizens do over-the-top, unrealistically illegal things that they would all be arrested for in real life but go unnoticed in the world of the film, and the whole movie has a go-for-broke feel.I love The character development Paul Kersey is a hero in this movie helps, defends old people and week people who can't defend them self's.Kersey buys an ice cream to a kid, he shots and fights off the rapists twice in this movie. He supports and stands by Rodriguez site when his wife is raped and murdered.There is a war on the streets with punks and gang territories. I wish they would make movies like this today I really do wish that.The acting decent from everyone but a lot of the fashion is hilariously 80's. There's nothing too disturbing in this movie so the tone is lighter than the first two films. It's also well paced and moves along quickly; no need for character development, just shoot the baddies! Charles Bronson does amazing job playing his character I really do miss him. Deborah Raffin did a great job and she was really cute and likable in this movie. Martin Balsam as Bennett was beautiful at acting. Gavan O'Herlihy is really perfectly bad guy I really get to hate him and you wish he will be die already. Ed Lauter as Richard Shriker is a good cop who becomes Charles Bronson's alley.The script and the plot is alright and there is plenty action we have a lot of guns and automatic weapons and they are been used well.Paul Kersey and his neighbor Rodriguez use a Browning M1919 machine gun to kill several gang members before it runs out of ammo. Paul looks with the machine gun like Rambo in the 80's the jungle streets. Both the Browning 1919 and MG42 belonged to Kersey's late Korean War buddy Charley, who apparently acquired the weapons during his stint in the Military.Paul Kersey's (Charles Bronson) uses Wildey Hunter with an 8" barrel in the movie (in real life, the gun was Bronson's personal pistol).I love the music score by Jimmy Page and I really love all the characters in here.10. years ago I wrote Murphy's Law is Charles Bronson best movie but my personal favorite Charles Bronson movie will always be Death Wish 3.Michael Winner did really good job directing his third and final Death Wish movie.Paul Kersey uses a rocket launcher M72 LAW and blows Fraker in to pieces and bringing justice to the streets once again.Death Wish 3 is a 1985 American action film starring Charles Bronson as vigilante killer Paul Kersey and is the third film in the Death Wish film series. It was written by Don Jakoby (under the pseudonym Michael Edmonds). This is the last Death Wish film to be directed by Michael Winner.R.I.P. Charles Bronson, Michael Winner, Deborah Raffin, Ed Lauter, Martin Balsam, Ron Hayes, John Gabriel, Mildred Shay, Menahem Golan rest in peace I really miss you all and I enjoy Death Wish 3 to death. 10/10 my favorite childhood classic action film I love it more than the original.

Leofwine_draca This ultra-hilarious propaganda for the suburban masses sees 64 year-old Charlie Bronson turned into an indestructible hero in the Sly Stallone or Arnie Schwarzenegger mould, massacring evil gang members and turning a neighbourhood into an urban war zone! You know the cards are stacked in your favour when the director is the distasteful Michael Winner, shooting his film in a London which doubles for New York (!), and the producers are the dreaded Golan/Globus combination from Cannon films. The realism and seriousness of the first two films are gone, replaced by an extraordinarily high body count, tons of action and death, and lots of stock cardboard cut-outs replacing live actors and real people. My god, this film is a masterpiece for all the wrong reasons! Right from the start the action begins with a trio of sadistic thugs (one of whom is played by a pre-stardom Alex Winter) beating and killing an old guy who happens to be Bronson's pal. Bronson winds up being blamed for the crime (why?) and chucked in jail where he fights off young, muscular bad guys - we see him doing press-ups and therefore are supposed to believe he's still capable of beating multiple opponents in hand-to-hand combat! Later Bronson hooks up with a police guy - the familiar Ed Lauter - and becomes a professional vigilante, moving into the neighbourhood from hell and helping the ageing residents fight back. What follows are lots of self-defence bits and pieces - amusing traps at windows, Bronson chasing and killing would-be muggers, plus a gratuitous rape sequence (Marina Sirtis is the victim here) thrown in for good measure. A new girlfriend comes and goes but the formula is still the same. The bad guys fight back, lots of innocent folk get killed or injured, and finally Bronson retaliates big time.The film is unintentionally amusing throughout, packed with continuity errors and revealing mistakes. Half the fun comes from spotting them. The script is full of clichéd dialogue or stock one-liners and the acting on the most part is dreadful. Bronson the somnambulist sleepwalks through the part whilst old-timer Martin Balsam is brought in for name value alone and suffers his name dragging through the dirt. The only really good performance is from Gavan O'Herlihy as the sadistic gang leader Fraker, a real bastard. The rest of the performers are just cannon fodder on both sides waiting to be cut down. After lots of shoot-outs, chases and explosions, the film concludes with an incredible over-the-top war between the street thugs and Bronson and his newly-armed neighbours. Motorbike gangs raid through the estate, demolishing and exploding buildings all over, and burning victims are machine-gunned in cold-blood. Women and children are shot and killed and the police massacred on arrival. Through the madness walks Bronson and his ethnic buddy, dodging bullets that just can't miss at every stage and calmly blasting down bad guys like the ending of COMMANDO. Dummies fly off rooftops, blood sprays and even a rocket launcher is brought into play. It's amazing stuff and a real surprise to find such a mindless action trash classic emerging from such a one-serious series. I say check this one out.

Rodrigo Amaro "Death Wish 3"...boy, I almost forgot I watched this movie just recently. A weird experience for me since I'm a big fan of the previous films and I found myself scratching my head thinking why someone thought that humor could be used in serious topics such as brutal attacks against elderly and women in abandoned neighborhoods. Or worst: since when Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson), the vigilante who lost his family in the previous films of the franchise could have some humor inside him. Kersey worked better as his most bittered and bloody-thirst while doing justice with his own hands.Golan-Globus surely ruined the franchise (the second "Death Wish" is way over-the-top but still in the dark mood it becomes something good to watch). This instance has a poor neighborhood composed of Jewish elderly, Latin and blacks terrorized by marginal types who enter their homes, use of violence and sexual assaults to get money which they call paying for protection. One of the groups' victims is Paul's friend from their Korea War days and the moment he gets there, Kersey is arrested accused of the crime. Lame but understandable. Let's move ahead. While on detention, the former architect turned vigilant is offered a nice proposition by the police chief (Ed Lauter, simply awesome) who knows about Kersey's past killing muggers and rapists: Kersey is given the chance to clean the streets and remove the bad guys from view. Obviously this chief is being pressured by the mayor and others about the high levels of criminality, but Kersey can be of help. Unorthodox but acceptable in terms of films. The problem comes when the movie decides to present a bad guy. Kersey always fought groups of thugs, never masterminds or nemesis of some sort. Here, the bad guy is Fraker (Gavan O'Herlihy) who practically controls the city and even share a jail cell with Kersey and they talk as if they were old buddies from other movie (not really). But of course, it's not only Paul versus Fraker; it's Paul against Fraker's gang members who literally outnumber the old folks who live there and who also will try to help Paul. Here comes another stupidity: all the old residents possessed guns but somehow they never used against used them against the invaders (only Paul's friend tried to but end up killed), and an old couple almost got arrested because they owned a gun. The police took their gun - even with the man having a permit - but they cannot see all the robberies, the rapes and the deaths around the building. That's just ridiculous. "Death Wish 3" is manageable even with all those problems I mentioned, and besides when Kersey goes in action that movies gets where it needs, proving to be exciting, tense and creating nice scenarios, even though the humor seems completely out of place - except when our hero shoots a mugger and the whole crowd begins to cheer. It's all fine until the movie provides a female companion to Kersey, a prosecutor who wants him to press charges against the police for his outrageous detention. Their affair escalates very quickly and for no good reason. She sees him and she likes him immediately. If only life was like that. I could accept that. But when her character gets killed by the group I could connect with the film anymore. Kept watching but wasn't in it anymore. The amount of absurdity, goofiness and unexplained things was too troubling for me to handle. It's fun to watch but it doesn't have any iota of what is trying to be, or trying to do. And have in mind, this was the first Death Wish to be released after the Bernhard Goetz incident on the subway in 1984, and you have Charles Bronson advising people to not imitate the film, don't become a vigilante BUT the whole movie goes the other way, killing bad guys is fun, get your neighbors, grab your guns and start to kill. Some may wonder: but wasn't the original "Death Wish" about the same thing I just pointed out but without the laughs? No, not at all. Michael Winner's earlier film was a loud cry of the society against criminality and police inefficiency, deeply surrounded by lousy politics not doing their job, and as was current with the 1970's cinema movement many characters simply went mad as hell and couldn't take it anymore. Time to set standards and do justice. And Kersey was very conflicted before turning into a justice warrior instead of the guy filled with Schwarzenegger's like punchlines whenever the writer thinks he ought to do those (After killing two guys robbers stealing his car, he's asked asked what happened and he says he was just giving those guys a message). Disappointing and very low, "Death Wish 3" can only be enjoyed for its brainless moments if you are looking exactly for that. Those who seek to find more of the same from the previous films will be dead on the water. We all need laughs but it only works without falling into ridicule if the topics brought on are meant to be funny. Or simply label it as a comedy cause no thriller was found in here. 5/10
