Review of Death Wish II (1982) by Originaldanger — 22 Dec 2020
Charles Bronson returns in Death Wish II... Okay it's 1982 and Charles Bronson's Paul Kersey has a new life by the looks of things but a group of at least 5 thugs rape and kill his daughter and similar or same scenario for his housekeeper.
Paul Kersey (Bronson) then lies to the police then sees his daughter's dead body and goes out for revenge killing each group of the thugs that killed his daughter. Paul Kersey's first encounter with the group was when they stole his wallet but after an attack on his home and his daughter he stops at nothing until all the gang of thugs are dead and one by one he kills them off.
.. Death Wish II is more violent than the original and Michael Winner adds more for the viewer to indulge in and Death Wish II is fairly dark in places. There are good and bad sequels and some may think Death Wish II is a bad sequel but Michael Winner stayed fairly true to the original and this is my favourite sequel to Death Wish and my favourite Death Wish film out of the lot.
Check it out.
