There's only one thing better than watching "Death Wish 3", and that's heading on over to IMDb to read the viewer comments about the picture. Seriously, I have never read about a picture before where the lovers and haters of a film all appear to be on the same page in their rabid appreciation for it. You can add me to the list, this was one epic flick. I think this might be the one picture Charles Bronson made just to see if he could get away with it (although I haven't seen 4 or 5 yet), but if I'm wrong I'll be glad to amend my comments later.
You really have to catch this picture to get a flavor of all the mindless, violent nastiness going on. The anti-tank grenade launcher that blows Fraker (Gavan O'Herlihy) into bite size pieces was quite special, but I think my favorite was the brain buster spring trap Paul Kersey (Bronson) rigged up in his apartment. All this with the full knowledge, support and go-ahead of the local police chief Shriker (Ed Lauter).
And you know what the topper is? The music score for the picture was put together by Jimmy Page!!! You know, the 'Stairway to Heaven'/'Whole Lotta Love' guy who rocked it with Led Zeppelin, which now that I think about it, how come there was no zeppelin in this picture? All I can think of, this was one time Page might have really been 'Dazed and Confused'.
