I suggest a sticker hit. And anyone who rates DWIII less than 100% will be the stickees!
shareWhat goes on out there in Rotten Tomatoes....is a disgrace.
shareI'll tell you what I'm gonna do....I'm gonna kill a Rotten Tomatoes reviewer just for you. Catch it on the 6 O'Clock news!
shareDo you always violate Rotten Tomato critics' constitutional rights?
shareBelieve it or not Rotten Tomatoes used to a pretty good website....until it changed.
shareI was with the New York Produce Department when they brought a Rotten Tomato in with a bullet inside it.

Death Wish 3 is when the Death Wish series turned into something else.share
While the first film was a small urban thriller and the sequel poorly tried to continue Kersey’s story on the west coast, with the third film all bets were off. This is where the series becomes a cartoonish killing spree with outlandish characters and situations that elevate things to such an incredibly absurd level any realism the Death Wish series once had completely vanishes.
This is not to say it’s not a heck of a lot of fun! In fact, Death Wish 3 is one of my favorite films in the series. Just the sheer scope of ludicrousness that starts to unreel and the attempted sincerity that director Michael Winner presents it all with make it an incredibly fun ‘bad movie’.
Death Wish 3 movie poster 1985 Charles BronsonOh yes, it’s a bad movie, but Death Wish 3 is one of those ‘so bad it’s good’ movies that prove even they can have some value and provide entertainment. Just be sure to expect that.
I would say it’s one of Bronson’s and Cannon Films greatest ‘guilty pleasure’ movies.
The movie becomes a a series of almost vignettes of silly scenes that provide unintended laughs. As Brosnan sets up shop in the neighborhood he makes his presence known and that he’s not going to sit idly by and be a passive victim to this gang.
We see these gang members harassing citizens (one member of the gang is a young Alex Winter).We can tell they’re bad gang members by their outrageous outfits, goofy face paint designs and them cackling as they snatch purses, bothering people carrying groceries and stealing tv sets.
Pretty much true except to say that DWII "poorly" tried... Like most other worthy sequels (Jaws and The Godfather come to mind), DWII is a solid sequel as long as you're familiar with the backstory presented by the first film. Not as impactful, certainly not original but still entertaining while maintaining the look and the feel of the precursor.
Unlike Jaws or The Godfather, the third installment is worthwhile but a far departure from the earlier two. As the reviewer said, it's a lot of fun. And, given the material, Charles Bronson, Gavan O'Herlihy and Ed Lauter do a pretty good job with their parts. It's mostly cheesy but cheese is sometimes good.
rotten tomatoes is such bullshit. who cares what a couple nyc libtards who have a monopoly on movie reviews think?!? i rather take an average joe trail park meth head advice for movie tips than some fancy pants "movie critic". according to google reviews this moive was liked by 89% of the population. those critics are too busy jerking each other off to know what a good movie is
shareNaw that is high for this shitfest of a movie.
shareThat’s surprising, I would have thought at least 50-60%.
share6% is generous for this stinker.
