SJWs Melt Down over Bruce Willis’ ‘Death Wish’ Trailer: ‘Alt-Right,’ ‘Racist,’ ‘Nakedly Fascist’
Big Hollywood (Breitbart) ^ | August 3, 2017 | Daniel Nussbaum

MGM Pictures released the first trailer for its remake of the 1974 vigilante classic Death Wish on Thursday, featuring Bruce Willis taking over the lead role — but some critics and commentators have already branded the unreleased film “racist,” “alt-right,” and “nakedly fascist” over the short clip’s content.

Willis stars as Paul Kersey, a surgeon on a brutal quest for revenge after his wife is murdered and his daughter is raped (Charles Bronson’s Kersey was an architect in the original five-film series).

The remake also trades out the original film’s gritty New York City environment for contemporary Chicago.

The trailer for the Eli Roth-directed film plays like most revenge films, promising plenty of gunfighting and shots of star Willis looking tough. In a twist on the original character, Willis’ Dr. Kersey wears a hoodie, an item of clothing associated in recent years with the Black Lives Matter movement.

The trailer for the film came under fire on social media shortly after its release Thursday, with at least one critic contending that the original series was “always racist.”

They should have just made Dr. Kersey black, Sam Jackson or somebody and all the thugs white. Then, no problem.

Funny you should mention Denzel Washington, because one of the thugs killed by Bronson’s character is supposedly a very young, uncredited Washington. Jeff Goldblum also was one of Kersey’s victims.

Funny. I had no idea this movie was being made, but in the last two nights, I watched Death Wish and Death Wish 2...

Coincidence! Well, if it pisses of SJW’s, it might get my dollars.

“Be sure to wear a hoodie to the movie.”

Good fashion tip - I’ll have to remember that!
