Death Wish 2 (1981)

In between Death Wish (1974), Death Wish 3 (1985) and Death Wish 4: The Crackdown (1987) is Death Wish 2 (1981), also known as Death Wish II . Of course, you don’t have to see the entire vigilante franchise to appreciate the flesh flashed in the second installment. This time around, Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) returns to the Big Apple for more avenging since his wife was murdered and his daughter Carol (Robin Sherwood) is in a catatonic state. Unfortunately, things go from bad to worse when Paul’s offspring is kidnapped and attacked in a warehouse by a bunch of thugs. As (bad) luck would have it, Kersey’s maid (Silvana Gallardo) is also abused by the same gang. While they have their way with her, Jiver (Stuart K. Robinson), Stomper (Kevyn Major Howard), and Punkcut (E. Lamont) bare their collective buns. Even though we get to see a lot of skin, the context is far from pleasant. Under the direction of Michael Winner, the R rated flick also includes Jill Ireland, Vincent Gardenia, Paul Lambert, Anthony Franciosa, Leslie Graves, Melody Santangello, and Thomas Duffy’s derrière. As Nirvana, he drops his drawers for a blowie from Ms. Gallarado while a shirtless Cutter (Laurence Fishburne) watches. It’s been a long time since this action series ended, yet it’s never too late for a reboot. Or should we say re-booty? In other words, Mr. Man is waiting with masturbated breath for Death Wish 5. Sure, we realize it’s unlikely but we can wish, can’t we?
