Death Wish III
Totally. Awesome.
The epitome of way over-the-top 80's action & brooding 70's vigilante film in one crazy fever dream, this thing's a roller coaster of slain street punks. Hell, dead people in general - I ended up losing count but it had to be at least 200 people that get dusted in every manner possible. Men and women are shot, stabbed, burned, blown up, beaten, run-over, mowed down w/ a 50 caliber, a hilarious
nail-in-the-friggen-skull by one of Bronson's little MacGyver devices he rigs up. I wanted to go play Disciples2 but I couldnt tear myself away. It has everything you want from an 80's action movie, and more.
1. - "Punk rock meets meets breakdance" looking street toughs who look nothing like real punk, or actual criminals. It's a 9 year old's vision of the criminal element, theyre absolutely hilarious.
2. - Love interest / kindly old man who befriends protagonist get either seriously harmed or killed. Hold on, time to go the next level of pissed-off!
3. - Everyone who gets shot that's not standing at street-level suddenly and inexplicably falls forward (even going over railings) to fall to their doom. Sometimes in slo-mo for added effect!
4.- Damaged cars instantly blow up real good **giggles deliriously*
5.- There's no ryme or reason to anything the criminals do, they simply tear shit up and harm people for fun. And they all jump around and cheer and high-five after they do it, like their team just scored a goal or something.
..and the leader has this bizarre reverse-mohawk, and makes all his homeys paint their faces w/ his symbol.
It's just too fun, I laughed the entire time. 10 stars
