The first one is a little boring after the first 40 minutes, but the detective character keeps it a little interesting. The second is better, but way more tasteless and hard to watch at times but my god what an opening 20 minutes. This one is the best of the 3 (not seen 4 or 5 yet). Obviously not in terms of actual quality but entertainment value wise this has the most ridiculous premise and the most interesting plot. Can’t wait to see how much more absurd this series could possibly get.
I find this one to be the worst in the series.
It's just so laughable and brain-insulting - it deservedly got a ''Shitcase Cinema'' treatment.
Part 5 comes close to pathetic level of this one.
Then we have part 2 which is boring (albeit nothing really insulting)
and added nothing new to the slightly-above-average original.
And... part 4... well, this one surprised me. Some cliches and implausible situations for sure, but i am generally satisfied with the way how it's done. Effective dark humor and even somewhat intriguing.
Part of East New York is being terrorized by a classic multi-ethnic street gang in Death Wish 3, and Charles Bronson arrive, 10 years after his original vigilante rampage, to set things right. And now it's the 80s, so the movie leans hard into absurd violence, so it looks and feels like Escape from New York, fender benders make cars explode, the score is a mix of exploitation funk and weird science-fiction stings, and even the casting tends to be odd, with a young Alex Winter assaulting Marina Sirtis in West Side Story brown face. To me, big shoot'em ups are a rather tedious, and the finale here goes on a long time, and tonally, I resent such things as rape gangs when the over-the-top violence is trying to get hoots and laughs. Charles Bronson is somehow calm and serene through all this, a soothing presence on screen to balance the mayhem - he looks a little like my stepdad in this, so I'm perhaps responding to that as well - and in the final analysis, he's what keeps the movie afloat. It's certainly not the shoddy love interest subplot. Eeech!
I've always found Death Wish and Death Wish II to be pretty boring - not NEARLY as good as alot of other Bronson flicks: Mr. Majestyk, Chato's Land, The Mechanic etc.
With that being said Death Wish 3 is probably a masterpiece.

I found this incredibly boring and uninteresting. Shame, the first one was amazing and the second one was ok.Jarrett

This movie is complete fecal matter. How did it even make it onto a "cult" list?
