gorf Death Wish 2 is one of the most disgusting and immoral "mainstream" movies from the 80s. It makes the rest of the Death Wish movies look like cinematic masterpieces. It makes me want to rewatch "Death Sentence" with Kevin Bacon. It's pointless and cruel...it's scene after scene of ugliness and sadism. Some people actually defend the pornographic scene where the maid is raped and killed, saying stuff like: "the director wanted to show how awful rape really is!" Yeah, thank you Michael Winner (ironic name), for showing us that it's wrong to rape and murder people. What? Not one, but TWO rape scenes in the same movie? How generous.No wonder the author of the novel hated these movies. They completely miss the point. The point of the novel is that revenge and vigilantism is a bad idea. This movie does the opposite...and even then, it fails, because there's no hero to root for in DW2. He doesn't accomplish anything good...he just kills a bunch of scumbags. What a pointless movie.The Death Wish movies are often labeled as "right-wing" fantasies, but that's not entirely true. It combines the worst elements from both worlds. Right-wing extremists will love the "guns and violence solve everything" stuff. And there's nothing leftists love more than sexual deviance, profanity and eeevil Christians.This year, a new version of Death Wish came out. Judging from the trailer it's just more of the same sadistic garbage. Don't waste your time or money.

ivo-cobra8 Death Wish II (1982) is arguably the best masterpiece sequel of all time! It is my personal favorite action sequel from the 80's. Since a month away in March 2nd Death Wish remake is coming out with Bruce Willis, I am reviewing all Death Wish films. I am a huge Death Wish fan and Charles Bronson - "Die Hard" fan. This is a sequel to the original classic 1974 film Death Wish. It was brilliantly directed by Michael Winner who once again teamed up with Charles Bronson. This film is very entertaining, fast paced, not boring not dramatic real action movie. I love this film to death I grew up watching it. It is long only 1 hr and 28 mins. it is not that long. It is my third favorite "Death Wish" film in the series I always enjoy it. This is an action packed stylish revenge flick in the 80's. this movie was filmed in 1981 and come out in 1982, the same year that First Blood come out. The first Rambo film is my all time favorite action film alongside with death Wish II. This sequel in my opinion is better than the original because it has more action and it is styled on a revenge. Charles Bronson is back as Paul Kersey the original vigilante. The film was filmed in Los Angeles, California in which the plot was set. Charles Bronson's wife Jill Ireland was in here and she played Kersey's girlfriend. In all Death Wish films Jill Ireland's character Geri Nichols was the only one who wasn't killed off. Charles Bronson refused that his real wife is assaulted and brutalized so she did come on in this movie and she was brilliant, not only gorgeous but she arguably acted brilliantly well. Charles Bronson is fantastic as Architect Paul Kersey getting revenge on a muggers who raped and killed his house keeper and his daughter. It is time to settle the score. He is excellent and it is his best performance in here. Paul kersey is his best role in my opinion. I love this film to death, I saw it as a kid I watched the trilogy. Death Wish 1,2 and 3 were all directed by Michael Winner which he did a brilliant job as the director. The film has a lot of action real bloody squibs it is rated R. It has rape, explosions, great gun fights and great shootouts. Paul kersey is looking for 5 rapist and killers who brutalized his daughter. I love how Paul tracks the first killer down and shoots him right in the chest. "You believe in Jesus? ,Yes, I do. Well, you're gonna meet him." bang he shoot's him dead. Paul Kersey saves an older men and his wife from been raped again and he kills most of the rapists and save the couple before they would be killed. He shoots down the second mugger in a final attempt he shoots' him dead. I love how Paul Kersey is tracking down the killers one by one like a Predator. I love the idea that actor Vincent Gardenia as Det. Frank Ochoa returned from the original film to be in this sequel. He stood up from Paul, he saved Paul's life, he killed the sniper aiming on Paul and sacrifice him self. Vincent Gardenia's brilliant performance too bad he is no longer with us anymore. In the final shoot out with a lot of automatic weapons, Paul kill's two out of three muggers one get's away. He kill's their friends too who are arm's dealers. He shoot's with his Beretta 84 one shooter trough window glass of the car and the mugger Jiver (Laurence Fishburne) in the head of radio when he tried to flee and he killed him. I love the final fight between Paul and Nirvana (Thomas F. Duffy). Charles Bronson did his own stunts, but in which Nirvana pushes Paul in the wall you can see that was Bronson's stuntman. All the actors in this movie does a fine job. No CGI or shaky cam, real actions, real guns and automatic weapons all made for real. I love action movies like this. Jimmy Page makes a music score for the Death Wish that I love specially in the beginning of the credits. Jimmy Page replaced Herbie Hancock. Actress Robin Sherwood replaced actress Kathleen Tolan who was playing Carol Kersey, Paul's daughter. It was never explained what happened to Steven Keats character Jack Toby from the first film. The muggers in this movie are: Thomas F. Duffy, Kevyn Major Howard, Stuart K. Robinson, Laurence Fishburne (as Laurence Fishburne III), E. Lamont Johnson and they are believable. In this movie one of the muggers was also Laurence Fishburne who was called that time in the 80's Larry he also played in Red Heat and A Nightmare On Elm Street Part 3: Dream Warriors and he acted well in this movie.Michael Winner brilliantly directs this stylish action masterpiece and David Engelbach writes an excellent script that delivers. I always enjoy this film and it is one of the best sequels in the Death Wish series. My all time number 1 favorite is Death Wish 3 this is my third favorite "Death Wish" film. Death Wish II is a 1982 crime thriller action film directed by Michael Winner. It is the first of four sequels to the 1974 film Death Wish.10/10 it is my favorite action film in "Death Wish" series. Today all action movies are wrong in Hollywood they don't make em' like this anymore. Charles Bronson was the best actor.

cpu-4 I liked the 1974 original, but this was a chore to sit through. It's a very, very poor rehash, clearly done purely for the money. All around bad acting, very unimaginative script, Charles Bronson acts like he phoned in his performance, the villains are clownish and annoying, and I really couldn't stand Charles' wife.In fact I lost some respect for Mr. Bronson while watching this tripe. Do yourself a favor and give this one a miss. If you are looking for good Bronson movies: "Mr. Majestyk (1974)" is awesome.

trashgang The follow up to the cult classic from 1974. Charles Bronson picks up again the role of Paul Kersey, the vigilante who goes out killing the ones who damaged his family and this time it even goes a bit further, his daughter got killed.Is it as good as the original, no it isn't but it's still worth picking up because you can see Los Angeles back in the eighties. Not only that, Laurence Fishburne is to spot as the cutter, just before he got his big roles. It's a bit more violent then the 1974 flick but being made in the heydays of gore it's in fact low on that part. And it takes a while before the revenge comes in. You have to see the original Death Wish to understand a few things with the cops. Gore 1/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 2/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5
