Storyline

Edit
Seven long years after Death Wish 4: The Crackdown (1987), Paul Kersey returns to New York City under a new identity to attend the glamorous fashion show of his fiancée, Olivia Regent. However, Olivia's criminal ex-husband, Tommy O'Shea, has other plans. Before long, Paul is back to square one after a deadly confrontation. Now, with the police unable to get to the bottom of the bloody case, the grizzled messenger of death must deliver justice with his snub-nosed .357 Magnum Smith and Wesson Model 66 revolver. But no one faced Tommy's ruthless criminal syndicate and lived to tell the tale. Has Manhattan's Vigilante bitten off more than he can chew this time? —Nick Riganas

  • Goofs
    After Paul explodes the soccer ball in Freddie's hands, Freddie is engulfed in flames from the waist up, but after he falls to the driveway, his hair is shown intact, not even singed.
  • Quotes

    Paul Kersey: Hey, Freddie! I'm gonna cure your dandruff problem for you!

    Freddie 'Flakes': [looks down, and realizes the ball is a bomb] NOOOOOO!

    [Kersey detonates bomb]

  • Alternate versions
    Although rated "not under 18", German VHS and Laser Paradise DVD releases were still cut by a minute and 23 seconds to reduce violence in some scenes. Uncut version was later released on DVD in 2005 with a SPIO/JK rating. Only in 2017 was the censorship fully waived and the uncut version was granted a "not under 16" rating.
