Death Wish, I watched all five of the originals. Honestly the first was actually pretty good. It had a compelling story of a man whose wife gets murdered and whose daughter gets raped which causes him to move from a conscientious objector and something of a pacifist to a violent vigilante after the police do nothing to bring their assailants to justice.
I am only showing the trailer for the original because its the only one worth watching. The sequel? His daughter gets raped and murdered again by Laurence Fishburne and friends. Fishburne needed money I guess because there is no other god damn reason that he should have been in that franchise. Kersey kills the people who raped and murdered his daughter and his maid
In 3 Kersey is back in New York and kills street gangs and there is a sequence reminscent of another third film's climax, Robocop III.
The fourth he's back in LA and fuck me I can't remember it. I wasn't asleep or drunk or high I can't remember it.
The fifth Paul has a new girlfriend and the Mafia murders her.
The First one was compelling. The second was watchable. The rest? Good God they were shit. There's absolutely no character development or discernable plot in the third or fourth other than that Paul Kersey, as played by Charles Bronson, kills people.
That said, check out the first and second there's some great lines and the first is actually pretty damn good.

I remember those. I was a big Bronson fan, after I saw his house in Beverly Hills. Pretty average, tbh.
It's on my list of movies I need to see in the near future

so fun story, back in the late 90s when I was a freshman in high school I had a biology teacher who found a way to find excuses to show lots of sci fi and hollywood classics to supplement his lessons. They were talking about genetics and sure enough Boys From Brazil was shown. It was fun
