I never liked DW2. To me, it was simply a bland remake of the first, but set in LA.
DW3&4 is where its at for me when it comes to Bronson-going-vigilante guilty pleasures. It's already been mentioned why 3 is fun, but I feel #4 has its enjoyably goofy moments. You've got Perry Lopez as a cartoon mob boss, John P. Ryan's hammy villain, Young (and explosive!) Danny Trejo, Bronson knocking out Mitch Pileggi then infiltrating the drug plant with his lunch pail and finally, the "I was makin a sandwich" bit.

There is certainly a sharp contrast between the two; Death Wish II was serious, grim, and unpleasant, whereas Death Wish III was a campy comic book movie. I liked how they changed dynamic with III. We already had 2 serious Bronson Death Wish films and the change of pace worked and made it different. It parodied itself and darn well I might add. Like I have mentioned in an earlier post, there is nothing else quite like it. It was fun and even original for it's time presentation wise. III was too over the top and goofy for my taste, its my least favourite of the 5 films. Think i rank them
1 2 5 4 3
although 3 and 4 is a toss up for worst

They? Looks like a solo job. The script writer, the director and all those involved in setting up the scene for The Giggler's death, are all accessories after the fact. They make up the They. Why are they not accessories before the fact?

Why are they not accessories before the fact? Then it was premeditated murder, but more importantly, did The Giggler go down laughing? Did he?
