Paul Kersey's (Charles Bronson) self-appointed one-man vigilante squad goes bi-coastal in Michael Winner's sequel to his Death Wish. Kersey has taken up residence in Los Angeles, but lunatic violence follows him across the country like toilet paper sticking to his shoe. Kersey's Spanish cook is immediately gang-banged and killed, while his daughter, still suffering from a catatonic stupor after her brutal rape in the first film, finds herself raped yet again.

While the first film convinced me of Bronson's need for vengeance, this one is just a series of dumb killings.
Shamelessly rehashed.
Top CriticThe results are every bit as revolting as in the original 1974 jackpot fantasy.
Even more foolish, more tacky and more selfrighteously inhumane than the 1974 melodrama off which it has been spun by the none-too-nimble fingers of Michael Winner.
The language is filthy, the film is simpleminded, and Bronson's character is as despicable as those he murders.
Classic.
Overall, it's as unstylish as anything Winner has put his name to.
An unnecessary sequel, the first of too many.
And now, the latest in our continuing series, 'Why The Hell Was This Sequel Made?'
All the blood and none of the brain.
An unnecessary sequel, almost a carbon copy of the first. I'm a big fan of exploitation movies but this is just a little too gratuitous, and after the superior first, utterly pointless. I'll still watch the entire series though cos I'm like that!

Weak entry in the series, still has plenty of good deaths.
