Kino Lorber has announced that Cannon Films’ cult favourite Death Wish 3 is coming to 4K Ultra HD this October in celebration of the movie’s 40th anniversary.
The third and final Death Wish to be directed by Michael Winner (although Charles Bronson would return for two more), the film sees Bronson’s Paul Kersey back in New York and bringing his own relentless brand of justice to a gang of punks after being recruited by Ed Lauter’s crooked Police Inspector. Check out the 4K artwork and details below…
If he can’t find justice…he’ll make his own! The legend Charles Bronson (Death Wish I & II) is back as Paul Kersey, notorious vigilante, in Death Wish 3. He is stalking the mean streets of New York, and they’ve gotten meaner. Kersey has returned to the Rotting Apple at the invitation of a friend from Korean War days whose neighborhood is being terrorized by a gang of vicious young thugs. Arriving only to find his old buddy slain, Kersey resolves to terminate the hoodlums’ crime wave and restore the neighborhood to its people. Alone, but armed to the gills with guns, knives—even a bazooka—Kersey ventures out into the urban battle zone with a message for every hood around: Come and get me. He’s one law-and-order man who doesn’t believe in governmental capital punishment…but that’s because Kersey is capital punishment.
Hailed as “one of the strangest, most gloriously violent films of the 1980s” (Den of Geek), this guns-blazing, no-holds-barred, action-packed classic was the sixth and final collaboration between Bronson and renegade director Michael Winner (Chato’s Land, The Mechanic, The Stone Killer, Death Wish I & II). The strong supporting cast features Deborah Raffin (God Told Me To, Nightmare in Badham County), Ed Lauter (Breakheart Pass, Death Hunt), Gavan O’Herlihy (Never Say Never Again), Alex Winter (Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure), Kirk Taylor (Full Metal Jacket) and Martin Balsam (Psycho, The Stone Killer).
