When Fraker incapacitates Kathryn (Deborah Raffin) in her car, his thug, without any key, switches the transmission to neutral so the car will roll downhill. In automatic transmission, it is very complicated to put in neutral without a key. It involves crawling underneath the car with the wheels blocked. If done without blocking wheels on a hill, the car will immediately starts rolling down and crush whoever is tampering with it underneath. See more »
What a romp this is. The great Kersey (Charles Bronson), ignoring advice to lay low for a while (like ten years!), relocates his trigger finger and bad attitude to New York City.
A long sequence where Kersey runs the streets shooting at everything in sight redefines this as a crazy modern Western. All sense goes out the window and the angry vigilante's original reasons for revenge fade slowly into the bullet-ridden background.
You get exploded thugs, burning cars, bodies through glass, dozens of bullet-riddled corpses and a lurid directing style that is perfect for the material.
Not as fine as DEATH WISH 2, but fine, nevertheless.
