Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In complete disregard for Lieutenant Frank Ochoa's order to leave New York City permanently in Death Wish (1974), Paul Kersey returns to visit an old friend after taking down Nirvana's gang in Death Wish II (1982). But mayhem follows the grizzled executioner. And after making a shocking discovery, Kersey cuts a deal with local Police Chief Richard Shriker: kill as many creeps as he wants, provided that he keeps the police informed. But with the sadists of an unhinged sociopath terrorising an entire neighbourhood, Kersey soon realises his brand-new .475 Wildey Magnum alone won't cut it. This time, Paul means business. Can Manhattan's Vigilante restore peace and justice to the streets? Written by Nick Riganas |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | According to the book 'Bronson's Loose' by Paul Talbot, the original working title "Death Wish III" was changed to "Death Wish 3" because The Cannon Group, Inc. conducted a survey and found that nearly half of the U.S. population could not read Roman numerals. See more » |
| Goofs | During the final battle between the gangs and Kersey, a small two-story wooden structure is seen burning out of control on one of the neighborhood streets. While firemen fight the flames, the facade collapses into the street and the whole structure is consumed in fire and smoke. In several of the following battle scenes however, the structure is seen unscathed and totally intact. See more » |
