Both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Charles Bronson know how to take out multiple enemies:

Both films are great fun. Death Wish 3 I like better while Commando is a little more ridiculous.

I think Commando has the ace. You have the backwards firing rocket launcher and the dead guy on the plane...and Arnold jumping out of the plane...
Seeing him flip the Porsche over with his hands was great too. I don't doubt he could do it (Porsches are light and he's a very strong guy), but actually seeing it was over the top, in the best possible way.
You also have the ultimate Arnold one-liner..."let off some steam, Bennett."
I say this as a huge Bronson fan, but I think "Commando" clinches it...because you can't out-one-line Arnie.

Well, in terms of production values, story, action scenes and humor, Commando is a much better movie than Death Wish 3. However, I would say Commando still more ridiculous because it is a lot more far-fetched with many unbelievable "oh, come on" scenes. And the fact that one man can wipe out an entire army on his own. At least Paul Kersey had some help while fighting the street gangs in DW3.

IMO, the difference is that Commando knew what it was. You cant make a movie with lines like "he's dead tired" and "I used to eat green berets for breakfast, and right now I'm very hungry!" without a wink and a nod. 
Whereas Death Wish 3 was trying to be serious and was just awfully made. Bronsons career had hit the slump he never came out of. It's too bad because the first two Death Wish movies, while not masterpieces by an stretch, were at least okay action movies with a bit of social commentary (Quick nods to Jeff Goldblum and Laurence Fishburne as scumbags in each movie respectively).
And don't make me even remember Death Wish 4!

And don't make me even remember Death Wish 4! Bronson’s films after Death Wish are great. Kinjite and Death Wish 4 are good. Murphy’s Law is very flawed but good as well. |

Death Wish 5 has the most ridiculous death--he throws someone in a vat of acid that just happens to be in the floor of a New York garment factory.
