5.0 out of 5 stars"They killed the Giggler. They killed the Giggler, man!"
By Trevor Willsmer HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on 15 Sept. 2010
Format: DVD
Death Wish 3 may well be Michael Winner's seminal work, finally breaking free of the chains of logic or narrative that had confined his earlier work to explode in an orgy of wildly improbable violence where he stages World War Three in a New York neighborhood besieged by gangs, with the combatants assorted street punks and elderly, mostly nice Jewish couples. Those kids never stood a chance...

For the first hour it's just a deceptively shonky vigilante movie, with Winner going through the motions as Ed Lauter's disillusioned cop, having first wrongly arrested Charles Bronson's vigilante for the murder of one of the few people in the film he doesn't kill, had him beaten up and thrown in the tank, then decides to set him loose on a problem neighborhood. Charlie fits right in with the assorted senior citizens and stereotypes who make up the put-upon locals, and it's not long before he's rigging booby traps in their houses to maim or disfigure would-be home invaders, shooting bag snatchers in the back or interrupting dinner with Mr and Mrs Kaprov to kill a couple of punks trying to steal his car stereo before returning to finish off the meal of delicious cabbage soup. None of which pleases Gavan O'Herlihy's local gang leader who sports an interesting anti-Mohican hairstyle and it's not long before far more locals are meeting horrible deaths than when the gangs had a free hand before Charlie moved in.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsDeath Wish 3 Blu ray
By M. Stewart on 31 Aug. 2012
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Let's review the blu ray this US disc is region free but please note their is a region A on the back of the box.

The film is presented in 1.85:1 aspect ratio it has a bitrate of AVC @30MBPS.

Sound wise the disc has DTS-HD Master Audio 1.0.

Pq is very good with vibrant colours and a clear picture which looks like it has been re-mastered.

Special features are very poor just the film's original theatrical trailer in sd.

I find this film to be far-fetched but entertaining anyway this disc is worth importing for fans of the movie.

5.0 out of 5 starsWithout doubt one of the most entertaining movies ever!
By A Customer on 6 July 2004
Format: VHS Tape
Death Wish 3 is a very different film to it's predecessors, whereas the first two movies were powerful urban drama's about how a man can be driven over the edge as a result of violence this installment goes all out as an action movie and disregards the social commentary for the most part. Don't get me wrong, the first two Death Wish movies are brilliant movies but in my opinion this insane second sequel blows them away.
The story in Death Wish 3 see's the notorious vigilante Paul Kersey return to Brooklyn New York, having run out family in the previous films, to visit an old buddy he served with in the army called Charlie. When Paul get's there he finds Charlie on the brink of death having just been violently attacked by a local gang of thugs. The police arrive shortly after and arrest Paul for Charlies's murder. This is just the set up for the bulk of the action as the police soon realise who they have arrested and decide to hire him and send him back into Charlie's neighbourhood to clean it up, cue lot's of big guns and an abundance of violence the likes of which has never been seen before. Literally, I think that the last half an hour of the film is just pure violence as the neighbourhood turns into an urban warzone.
Whereas in the previous film's Bronson was hunting down muggers and rapists and disposing of them with his pistol in Death Wish 3 he gets hold of a gattling gun and buys a magnum and a military issue rocket launcher and lays waste to the scum of society by the bulk load. It might not be as realistic but it's damn entertaining and is by far my favourite of the Death Wish sequels.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsDeath Wish 3
By ChrisR on 14 Jun. 2012
Format: VHS Tape Verified Purchase
Hilarious B movie exploitation madness from seasoned hack Michael Winner. He said to Canon/GolanGlobus - I can do this within budget and edit it myself. And he did! The camerawork and cinematography is less artful and taught than the previous installments - its obvious that by now the 80's is well underway as Bronson, now about 100 years old, guns down dozens of streetpunks right left and centre. The villians have great chain accessories and writhe appropriately as Bronson uses an old WW2 machine gun to decimate their ranks. Of course there's the obligatory mysogyny, rape, gun worship and fascism, although it's strangely less thumping and offensive than many of today's mainstream action films. Death Wish III is possibly the best of the 80's low budget exploitation films and worth a watch even if just for a slice of history. Coincidentally, this film is vastly superior to everything Tarentino has done since Jackie Brown.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis isn't a neighbourhood...It's a WAR!
By A. Moncrieff on 26 Jan. 2013
Format: Blu-ray
My personal favourite Death Wish film is not for all tastes, and is a one-of-a-kind film viewing experience. Dispensing almost completely with the moral ambiguity of the first film and the grim reality of "violence as cruelty" in the second one, Death Wish 3 is a fun-filled action romp through an apparently mid-apocalyptic New York neighbourhood with a lone vigilante at your side.

Don Jakoby (physicist turned screenwriter and long-time collaborator with Dan O'Bannon; Lifeforce, the 1986 Invaders from Mars, he did some work on Alien) has written a script that is actually pretty smart. While nodding the hat to the original in many ways (the scene where a doctor reveals bad news in a hospital waiting room is a remake of a scene in the first film, for example), Jakoby has actually crafted a story that gives the audience for this picture exactly what they want (to see 60+ Charles Bronson shooting muggers and creeps). Director Michael Winner must have realised that Death Wish II was little more than a nastier retread of the first film with little to add but a more graphic eighties style and a fantastic Jimmy Page score, because Death Wish 3's approach is a complete 180. Rather than even attempt realism or pretensions of significance, Death Wish 3 is a live action cartoon, reinventing the Death Wish franchise as an action series, and Charles Bronson's Paul Kersey as an "Urban Rambo" (Rambo: First Blood Part 2 was cleaning up at the box office at about this time). Jakoby manages to work in some smart little aspects to what little story and characters are here - the Ed Lauter cop character's cockroach analogy seems to wish away any unfortunate realities about the presence of crime in favour of a cheap solution, with a wink.Read more ›
