HE’S BACK IN NEW YORK BRINGING JUSTICE TO THE STREETS…

Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) returns to New York City to visit a friend and is drawn into a conflict with a street gang.

Unlike the second chapter, this sequel has a few lighthearted moments, because Kersey finds much-needed friends among the tenants who are tormented by the gang.

Never dull, but moronic and tasteless, with a lengthy final showdown that turns Kersey into a kind of well-armed Rambo; this film has by far the highest kill count in the franchise.

1985-U.S. 90 min. Color. Directed by Michael Winner. Cast: Charles Bronson (Paul Kersey), Deborah Raffin (Kathryn Davis), Ed Lauter (Richard Shriker), Martin Balsam, Francis Drake, Joe Gonzalez.

Trivia: Followed by Death Wish 4: The Crackdown (1987).
