Saw Death Wish and Serpico on a double bill, way back when. Spanked me good.

Always loved Bronson.

Chato’s Land, one of the greatest Westerns ever.

The rape scene of the maid in Death Wish II was particularly disturbing

Even today...

Bronson: I get 300 a day.

Brenner: that’s a lot of money. The job pays 3 dollars.

Bronson: well, right now, that’s a lot of money.

His daughter's fate is equally disturbing. While I liked the original film, I thought the sequel was just rape/violence porn. There is a point where a movie is too nasty to be entertaining (IMO). I did not see any of the remaining sequels. I felt the same ways about Chato's Land, also directed by Michael Winner.

The thread title is a bit misleading. Bronson's agent was the one who argued that the film was potentially dangerous.
