	Death Wish 4: The Crackdown Movie -The 80s Rewind «
		Well, there are more inventive deaths this time around than the simple shootings of the last three parts - slamming heads in the boots of cars, mowing down with a silenced Uzi, chucking packs of cocaine at them, death by explosive wine bottle, death by plummeting off a balcony onto your own limousine...
		My favourite bad guy death (aside from the bumper cars) is the fella who is shot in the head, then turns around and opens a gate onto the roller-skating rink at the end — in the process taking out a couple of skaters as the gate swings open and he falls in their way.
		As far as comparison to the other Death Wish films goes, this instalment is more action packed than the first one, less unpleasant than the second, and more believable than the third.

	Whitley Strieber's Unknown Country
		I juxtapose these two fallacies quite intentionally, because they both emerge out of the same thing: a death wish that is spreading through mankind like a disease, and must be recognized as such by those of us who are not afflicted, before the sick destroy themselves and the rest of us with them.
		Death wishes are commonly triggered during overpopulation experiments with rats.
		It is time to recognize the death wish for what it is, and make a stand for life, for man, and for the children.

	Death Wish - The Boston Globe
		Although there’s little research evidence that the death penalty serves as a deterrent to crime, in an interview with me shortly before his bill was voted down, he insisted that it would.
		For McClellan, the Harris County prosecutor, the death penalty is “society’s right of self-defense.” Though, unlike Romney, he doubts that it has a deterrent effect, he likens the death penalty to someone’s shooting his attacker.
		In the 1950s and ’60s, the death penalty was legal in Massachusetts, but a series of anti-deathpenalty governors refused to sign the death warrants of the convicted.

	Hanzi Smatter 一知半解: "Death Wish"
		This young man wanted "death wish" (or "death" and "desire") to be tattooed on the insides of his wrists.
		死 (death) is missing one dot, and 欲 (desire) has been completely butchered.
		After finding out what a messed-up job of tattooing he has on his arms, his only "wish" is probably to have quick "death".

	Malcolm Muggeridge -- The Great Liberal Death Wish
		The Great Liberal Death Wish" is a subject that I've given a lot of thought to and have written about, and it would be easy for me to read to you a long piece that I've written on the subject.
		The thing that impressed me, and the thing that touched off my awareness of the great liberal death wish, my sense that western man was, as it were, sleep-walking into his own ruin, was the extraordinary performance of the liberal intelligentsia, who, in those days, flocked to Moscow like pilgrims to Mecca.
		In contradistinction, this is the liberal death wish, holding out the fallacious and ultimately destructive hope that we can construct a happy, fulfilled life in terms of our physical and material needs, and in the moral and intellectual dimensions of our mortality.

		Death Wish was the story of Paul Kersey, a successful and politically liberal architect.
		She asks Kersey if he wishes to file suit against the Police Department, and seems bewildered when he says no. Frankly, you’d think she’d be relieved and go work on one of the other five hundred case files which she’s been assigned.
		Among the last three sequels, it’s only in Death Wish 5, the best of the crop except for the original film, that the murder of his paramour results in Kersey’s retaliatory spree.

	Death Wish II: Euthanasia, the Second Time Around
		The common features are three: (1) a shift in medical ethics brought on by leaders in the medical profession itself; (2) the dominance in public life and policy of an ethos that sees death as a positive instrument for progress; and (3) the linkage of mercy killing to economic gain or good business.
		These judges, doctors, and scientists were leaders in their fields, progressives, self-styled “modernists,” who sought to apply the successful techniques of industry and the values of efficiency and cost-accounting to questions of healing, life, and death.
		The flashpoint was abortion; the restraint on progress was the Christian insistence on the sanctity of all human life, from conception to natural death.

		And while there is a fair amount of mayhem, DEATH WISH 3 is not that awful of an effort, particularly for fans of the series and its star.
		But in the tradition of the original DEATH WISH and later films such as FALLING DOWN with Michael Douglas, it has a definite crowd-pleasing charm.
		So you see, the key to enjoying DEATH WISH 3 is to accept it for what it is. It ain't Spielberg and it ain't art.

		Audiences tended to be divided between those who were offended by what they considered to be excessive violence and those who (like Harry Callahan and Paul Kersey) had lost confidence in society's willingness and/or ability to respond effectively to violent crime.
		DEATH WISH, among other things is a gritty, unflinching look at the violence urban dwellers all over America faced in the 1970s.
		DEATH WISH is not just a bloodbath thriller film (although the violence was pretty graphic for its time).

		Flamboyant British director Michael Winner is in no doubt - his vigilante movie Death Wish is the most copied film in the history of cinema.

		One critic once caustically called Winner's Death Wish and its sequels "a sort of Groundhog Day with guns" but Winner, who took five years to get the movie into production, boasts "it is the most copied film in the history of cinema".

	Reason
		He also made an admirably precise, if almost certainly falsified, prediction that by 1998 we'd all be languishing in concentration camps run by the masters of the New World Order (who were in fact outer-space aliens).
		All avidly embraced a worldview in which they were brave and lone fighters against conspiracies and tyrannies too large and byzantine to fully comprehend, much less defeat.
		(Reich, for instance, believed the whole world suffered from an "emotional plague" he alone could diagnose, and that part of the sickness involved unyielding hostility toward the diagnostician.) The only logical ending for the rebel in such a script is death at the hands of the authorities, or in prison.

		Of course New York (like all big cities) could be a violent and dangerous place…but going by "Death Wish" every street is a lottery where violence and death is the prize.
		But images such as Carol being stripped and having her backside spray painted and Joanna being brutally coshed (accompanied by viscous language from Goldblum) can't help but be exploitative.
		But ultimately Winner just manages keeps the exploitation secondary, something he would most certainly not do in home invasion sequence in "Death Wish 2" where he would give a Studio film one of the most extreme and exploitative sequences ever seen.

		Babies were conceived in love and only by parents, and every human being was welcomed for his or her own sake from conception to natural death, no matter what obligations their lives imposed on others.
		The loss of the human components are easy to understand, but since we place so much value on the spiritual that transcends death, this sets up the paradox of Christ having sacrificed his human life, but still carried on with his spiritual self, which being the Christ, he knew he would never lose.
