Death Wish was first released to United States audiences in July 1974. It was produced by Italian film mogul Dino De Laurentiis and marketed by Paramount Pictures.

Plot

When three muggers rape and traumatize his daughter, Carol, (Kathleen Tolan) and murder his wife, Joanna, (Hope Lange), New York resident Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) realizes that the possibility of the muggers who attacked his family being apprehended is highly unlikely. It is the police themselves who bring Paul to this realization, since they admittedly reveal that they are overwhelmed with violent crime in the city on a daily basis. During the aftermath, Paul's employer sends him on an assignment to Tucson, Arizona, where he meets with a company client who is sympathetic to Paul's dilemma. Soon afterward, Paul returns home to New York City. When he opens his suit case he finds a gift left to him by the company client. He opens a box to find a nickel plated .32 cal revolver, unregistered and untraceable. Paul then begins to go out at night, walking around the city alone waiting to be mugged, then shooting the muggers. Paul also soon finds that the police begin pursuing him, all while public sentiment steadily grows in support of his vigilante tactics.

Critical Reception

Critical reception to Death Wish was mixed, but it had an unexpectedly large impact on U.S. audiences and began widespread debate over how to deal with rampant crime. This film was one of the highest-grossing titles during the early 1970s; it became an immediate classic and the defining film for both Bronson and Michael Winner.

Death Wish II (1982)

After Bronson's hesitance to play the Paul Kersey role a second time, Death Wish II was released to the United States in February 1982. It was produced by exploitation giant Cannon Films, which had purchased rights to the Death Wish concept from De Laurentiis.

The first Death Wish sequel makes a complete break from Death Wish and Death Sentence, Garfield's novel series, and redefines the Paul Kersey character. Unlike in the original film where he hunts down every criminal he encounters, Kersey only pursues the violators of his family. He begins by renting an apartment in a low class area of L.A. to use as a "headquarters" while he looks for his daughters killers. Then he prowls back streets, video arcades, and local hangouts for the criminals. Their faces are burned into his memory. This article is about the novel. ...

Considered the most over-the-top and outlandish installment of the series, Death Wish 3 pits Kersey against members of New York street gangs while receiving support from a local police lieutenant (played by Ed Lauter). The film focuses more on action sets in the vein of Rambo and Commando. Kersey is shown firing a Wildey .475 caliber handgun, a .38 caliber snubnose revolver, a .30 caliber browning air cooled machine gun, and a L.A.W.S. handheld rocket launcher.

Death Wish 4: The Crackdown (1987)

Death Wish 4: The Crackdown is the first film in this series to carry a subtitle, the first to be directed by someone other than Michael Winner, and the last to be released by Cannon Films. It was helmed by J. Lee Thompson, best known in Hollywood for The Guns of Navarone (1961) and Cape Fear (1962). He also collaborated with Bronson on several action films during the late 1970s and 1980s. John Lee-Thompson, known as J. Lee Thompson (1 August 1914 - 30 August 2002) was a film director, active in both British films and Hollywood. ... The Guns of Navarone is a 1957 novel about World War II by British thriller writer Alistair MacLean that was made into a film in 1961. ... This article is about the geographical feature on the coast of North Carolina. ...


The Crackdown had a substantially cheaper budget and limited release, first appearing at U.S. theaters in November 1987. The screenplay by Gail Morgan Hickman relocates Kersey to Los Angeles where he has begun a relationship with Karen Sheldon (Kay Lenz), a newspaper reporter. Sheldon's teenaged daughter Erica (Dana Barron) dies after overdoseing on 'crack' cocaine from a local pusher and Kersey begins a self-contained war against two Los Angeles drug rings with backing from a third drug trader posing as a 'concerned parent' (John P. Ryan). Weapons used in this film include an unknown caliber rifle (semiauto) with scope and silencer, timed explosives, a small but unknown caliber revolver, an M-16 with M-203 grenade launcher attachment, and an uzi with silencer (which jams in one scene, forcing paul to resort to hand to hand combat).

Death Wish V: The Face of Death (1994)

Death Wish V: The Face of Death (also listed as Death Wish 5) is the final installment of the Death Wish series, as well as Charles Bronson's final theatrical starring role in the movie industry. This time the film is produced by 21st Century Film Corporation, a company under Menahem Golan after Cannon Films' bankruptcy. The film was shot in Toronto and helmed by Canadian director Allan Goldstein. 21st Century Film Corporation was a small scale theatrical distribution company formed by Israeli filmmaker Menahem Golan. ...


While the Death Wish franchise never had universal praise, Death Wish V had something different....universal dislike. Both critics and fans of the series considered it the worst installment due to it's cheap budget and clichéd script. The plot takes place in New York despite its Toronto filming and has Paul Kersey (now under the witness protection program) as a college professor of architecture who has become engaged to Olivia Regent (Lesley-Anne Down), a fashion designer previously married to Irish mobster Tommy O'Shea (Michael Parks). O'Shea, looking to take over Regent's clothing firm, arranges her murder and Kersey takes up arms to avenge her death and to protect her young daughter Chelsea (Erica Lancaster). Lesley-Anne Down as Jacqueline Payne Marone Lesley-Anne Down (born March 17, 1954 in London) is a British actress. ... Michael Parks (born April 24, 1940 in Corona, California) is an American actor. ...


After Death Wish V' s limited release, Bronson and Menahem Golan ended their working relationship. Golan announced plans for a sixth Death Wish installment without Bronson, but the film was never made. Rumors have spread that a remake of the original film is under discussion, yet it remains a lingering question of who owns rights to the Death Wish concept. Meanwhile, a film version of Death Sentence is due for release in August 2007, starring Kevin Bacon. Death Sentence is a 2007 loosely based on Brian Garfields 1975 novel. ... This article needs additional references or sources for verification. ...


Impact of the series

Death Wish remains a guidepost in cinema history, considered the first urban film to depict a civilian taking up arms against other civilians. While this concept existed in many previous westerns, Death Wish was the first to place it in a modern setting.


The film had unexpected resonance in cities like New York and Los Angeles, where crime had reached incredible levels during the early-to-mid 1970s. Moviegoers applauded Kersey whenever he shot criminals down and cinemas enjoyed record ticket sales during the movie's first run.


Many critics were displeased with the film, considering it an immoral threat to society and an encouragement of antisocial behavior. Vincent Canby of the New York Times was one of the most outspoken writers, condemning Death Wish in two extensive articles. Brian Garfield was also unhappy with the final product, calling the film 'incendiary', and even stated that each of the following sequels are all pointless and rancid to the very point that they all depart what he portrayed the character in his books. Vincent Canby (July 27, 1924 – September 15, 2000) was an American film critic. ... The New York Times is an internationally known daily newspaper published in New York City and distributed in the United States and many other nations worldwide. ...


Nevertheless, the film was a watershed moment for Charles Bronson, who was better known in Europe and Asia at the time of Death Wish's release. Bronson became an American film icon who experienced great popularity over the next twenty years.


In the series' later years, Death Wish became a subject of parody for its over-the-top violence and the advancing age of Bronson. However, the Death Wish franchise remained lucrative and drew support from fans of exploitation cinema. The series continues to have widespread following on home video and is occasionally broadcasted on television. Despite its flaws, especially in the sequels, Death Wish is viewed as one of American cinema's reactions to the presence of crime in modern life.

  • In the novel, Paul and his family are Jewish, but this was never referenced in the film version.
  • In the novel, Paul's wife originally opened the door and let the muggers in, not Carol. But this scene never occurred in the book.
  • In the novel, the actual part where Paul's wife and his daughter are being assaulted in the apartment is off screen, whereas in the film that part is shown.
  • In the novel, Paul's daughter is not raped.
  • In the novel, the muggers who assaulted Paul's wife and daughter were originally described as Puerto Rican teenagers but in the film they were changed to white men in their 20's.
  • In the novel unlike the film, Paul does not mention at all that he was a conscientious objector nor does he mentions his parents, but there was a mention of him in the war, using rifles.
  • In the original novel, Paul is an accountant not an architect.
  • In the novel, Paul's wife's name was Esther, but according to the film's credits her name is Joanna.
  • In the novel, the entire book takes place somewhere between the end of summer to near fall, while in the film it takes place in the winter.
  • In the novel, Paul's son-in-law, Jack has a smoking habit which was absent in the film.
  • In the novel, originally Paul had dinner with his co-worker Sam Kreutzer and his wife, which remained absent in the film.
  • In the novel, there was a number of conflicts between Paul and Jack, of what Paul wants to take the law into his own hands, and nearly mocking Jack about how he defends the law in court. On film, this chapter was clearly absent.

  • In the novel, Paul received his gun by purchasing it at a local gun store in Tucson.
  • In the novel, originally in his first night hunting since his return from Tucson, the first mugger Paul confronted Thomas Leroy Marston carried a knife, instead of a gun and was shot three times by Paul, as opposed to only being killed with one shot in the film.

But in the film, that part of the book doesn't take place. And in the film, when Paul encounters the muggers in the subway train he shot them with no remorse, while compared to the book Paul only stalked them, and lost them on purpose, knowing that he figure that they weren't possessing any threat to him at all, even though he had some suspicion.
  • Another part of the book that was absent, Paul bought some gloves and a reversible jacket as a disguise.
  • The ending of the film is completely different than what was in the novel. The scene where Paul moves to Chicago was a foreshadowing of where the next novel Death Sentence takes place. In the original novel's ending Paul confronts four teenagers who are vandalizing a subway train and kills three of them. He is caught in the act by a police officer but the cop allows him to escape.

Trivia

  • Death Wish was the favorite movie of John Ausonius, the Swedish racist killer who roamed the streets of Stockholm looking for immigrants to kill.
  • Jeff Goldblum had his screen debut in Death Wish, playing one of the criminals who attack Kersey's wife and daughter.
  • Multiple-time Grammy award winning Jazz musician Herbie Hancock, produced and composed the original score for the soundtrack to the original Death Wish movie. This would be his third film score, behind the 1966 movie Blow-Up and 1973's The Spook Who Sat By The Door. Michael Winner said, "[Dino] De Laurentiis said 'Get a cheap English band.' Because the English bands were very successful. But I had a girlfriend who was in Sesame Street, a Puerto Rican actress (Sonia Manzano), who played a checkout girl at the supermarket [in Death Wish], and she was a great jazz fan. She said, 'Well, you should have Herbie Hancock. He's got this record out called Head Hunters.' She gave me Head Hunters, which was staggering. And I said, 'Dino, never mind a cheap English band, we'll have Herbie Hancock.' Which we did."
  • Paul Kersey kills at least 106 people onscreen in all 5 Death Wish movies combined.
