"You believe in Jesus? Well, you're gonna meet him."

Death Wish II arrived eight years after 1974's Death Wish (a smash-hit which apparently reduced the crime rate in New York City during its theatrical run!), and this sequel was clearly green-lit for the sole purpose of cashing in on the success of its predecessor. This is fundamentally a shameless rehash of the original Death Wish... read more

The Kleinenschlaffel

This is the film that introduced to the dark, mysterious, and beautiful world of low-budget exploitation/action/horror films when I first saw a chunk of it in November 2004 on AMC. Dark, eerie, slimy, and with a fantasticly 80s soundtrack and fantasticly 80s set of thugs, this film is a classic.

It's also the film that introduced me to my cinema hero Charles Bronson. The whole series ... read more

Tier Ranking: The Worst Films of 1982 - 1983 (44 movies items)

"Critics didn’t care for the film, and for them it was too violent, and brutal and a poor man’s Dirty Harry. My thoughts? It’s not the best Destb Wish sequel, but it’s one of the better Death Wish sequels."

" Date: 11/20/2020 Viewed: Amazon Prime Re-Watch Note: I revisit the first Death Wish movie last year and I still consider it to be a great movie. I felt like revisiting the second Death Wish movie to see if it holds up or not. Sadly, The Shout Factory Blu-Ray is now out of print (I kick myself for not buying it earlier), but at least it's on Amazon Prime at the moment (As of 11/20/2020). After watching this movie again, I still enjoy it. Death Wish 2 is nowhere as great as the first movie, b"

"13.1, PC Mikäli yhtään muistan oikein muutama vuosi taaksepäin katsomaani Death Wishia, ei tämä jatko-osa ollut edeltäjänsä turhaa toisintoa. Ainakaan siinä mielessä, että tässä ammuskeltiin enemmän (?) ja sarjan siirtyminen 80-luvulle tuntuu ihan raikkaalta."
