Paul Kersey, the vigilante, returns to New York to visit a friend. But when he arrives he finds his friend dead, and the police enter and find him standing over the body holding a gun.
At the station a police lieutenant recognises him as the vigilante, and releases to go after the gang that killed his friend, who are led by the deadly Manny Fraker.
So Kersey moves into his friend's apartment and along with his friend's friend, Bennett, they try to get the gang and help the neighbours who are being plagued by Fraker and his gang...
Kersey has to be the most unluckiest man in the world. Whenever he meets a woman, they buy it. he's so unlucky that he's now used to it, and forgets about the whole thing in the next scene.
Which is what most characters do in the film. Whenever something bad happens to them, within minutes they are back to their normal selfs and not giving a hoot.
Which is why i love this film. I t has no meaning whatsoever, apart from the fact for Winner to make another movie where we see Bronson running around like a man half his age killing hoodlums.
But the people in this town are actually enjoying the fact that since Kersey has appeared, violence has gone up. In fact, during the long action packed finale, you can see townsfolk smiling at the carnage and whooping Kersey on.
But like I said, any film where it shows you a man load a gun with three bullets and then fire five, is okay by me.
This film knows it's not serious, and by a company such a Cannon. You know what to expect.
Dead people who still scream when falling. Bronson missing the first shot almost every time. the funniest stunt wig in the movie.
And you know that the rocket launcher bought from the shop will be saved for the chief bad guy.
Exceptional eighties cheese.
