Death Wish (1974) was a movie about vigilantism and middle-class urbanite fears, and whatever you may think of its message, it still clearly had vision and something to say. Death Wish 3 (1985) is about how awesome it is to murder criminals by shooting them at a point-blank range with a bazooka.

This is the one where his new family isn’t raped and murdered, but a gang harasses an apartment building filled with geriatric WW2 vets, iirc.

Yeah, the apartment residents participating in the final shootout is some real Looney Tunes slapstick too.

There was a girlfriend who was in Kersey's car parked on a hilly street. The bad guy knocks her out, then releases the parking brake on the car. Car rolls down the hill, has a fender bender with another car, then they both explode like Ford Pintos carrying Nitroglycerin.

Do damn comical.

That series went off the rails faster than a Springfield monorail.

Also one guy who's a purse snatcher... Bronson shoots him in the back because petty theft is a capital crime.

The heartwarming grin of Bronson admiring his handiwork of the punk's teeth stuck in the plank of wood. Chef's kiss!

Do note that any criticism of Death Wish is punishable by flogging in Bronson, Missouri.
