After the cops bring Paul in for questioning, he receives a tempting offer from the police chief (Ed Lauter) : Paul can have free rein to eliminate the gangsters, as long as the police get the credit.

Death Wish 3 is still another in this year's long parade of pathetic power fantasies, cynically exploiting the rage and anxiety of the dispossessed.

Preposterously Rambo-esque.

Attempts to justify the ensuing mass-murder are perfunctory.

…the mark of a terrible film is that, even on a third or fourth viewing, there are layers of awfulness to be discovered, and by these rules, Death Wish 3 is a very rich text indeed….the third, consistently turgid outing for taciturn vigilante Paul Kersey.

Rated: 1/5

...a decent-enough sequel that ultimately feels more in line with the Rambo series than with the previous two films.

Rated: 2.5/4

I mean, come on, we didn't need a "Death Wish II," but thank Wildey there's a "Death Wish 3."

Movie is trashy and campy, With jokey villians and too much cussing, And the lovely Deborah Raffin needed way more screentime, But Bronson brings his awesomeness, With the help of a .45 Super Hand Cannon , a WW2 Browning 60, and a rocket launcher, There's decent, serviceable action scenes, and movie pushes all the right buttons regarding crime and injustice.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Of all of the five Death Wish films, 3 is my absolute favourite. The one liners, the action, the pointless love story make this a film I enjoy watching over and over again. It certainly isn't Oscar worthy performances BUT Charles Bronson AKA Mr Vigilante is perfection. His comedy timing "it's my car" before blowing someone away, brings violence and humour together, which is really at the heart of this 3rd offering. Just like Arnie, our other action hero, Charlie, delivers one of his most memorable and quotable lines "Chicken's good..I like chicken".

Filme bacaninha para mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são bacaninhas, a história é fraca, o elenco é bacaninha, e metade do elenco ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são bacaninhas, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, e o filme parece que não quis repetir esse negócio de vigilante do Charles Bronson, prenderam o Paul kersey forçadamente, só para ele trabalhar para a polícia, e o filme matou o amigo do Paul kersey forçadamente com alguns socos, que ficou ruim, e também fivou ruim e que tinhas muitas membros da gangue que roubavam o quarteirão e as cenas de ação salvaram o filme.

Charles Bronson at his absolute finest when it comes to wasting dirt bags! Kills everything within an 8 block radius! And his most memorable scene on the fire escape wielding a WWII .30 cal machine gun! The movie is about as immorally repugnant as it gets, and that's the charm of it. You couldn't make this kind of movie today.
