Death Wish 2 was racist as fukk

[NYC Warrior]

why they got them nikkas making monkey noises and pulling all types of c00n ass faces in the movie.

They got two cacs in the gang but still. The black dudes was portrayed on some Birth of a Nation shyt. Then the daughter gets raped a second time while the black dudes standing around grabbing they dikks.
Then that uncut version of them gang raping that maid was shyt was worse than that irreversible flick.

fukk that cac who made the movie and Fishburne for being a part of that shyt

Death wish 2-whatever are all racists as hell

The first one is solid. After that it just becomes “hate black and brown people and white boys with tattoos”

After the first one they become really really conservative. It’s this mixture of race hating with generational hating. All the young people are the problem and all the Hispanics and black men are an even bigger problem.

The first one is really solid tho and doesn’t go there.

Yeah them shyts also just got ridiculous. Race aside, they became typical canon movies

The title should actually read, "The whole Death Wish series was racist as fukk."

Damn its funny how when you're a kid you don't pick up on stuff. I need to watch it again

You could probably make a whole thread on movies you got woke to after you grew up

First one isn’t. He’s attacking random and mixed “punks” in part one. After that they just decide to go full on scare people

It's not as if the series made a huge shift from explicitly endorsing vigilantism against the dangerous hoods of New York in the first movie to the more blatant racism of the series afterward, though. The seeds were already there, they just needed to be cultivated.

Death Wish ultimately suffers from the same problem the Rambo series has: in attempting to make a film that was palatable to action film moviegoers of the 1970s and 1980s, the filmmakers ripped the fundamental critiques the source material made about American society (moreso in the sequels than in the initial installments, but it's there throughout). When you do that, you lose the context in which the violence is occurring (the violence of 1970s NYC and right-wing apocalyptic fantasies about 1970s NYC in the case of Death Wish; the aftermath of the Vietnam War and how poorly returning vets were treated in light of how we entered into and conducted said war in the case of First Blood and the Rambo sequels). Thus, you get shyt like Death Wish III and Rambo III.

(I can't believe this thread isn't about Death Wish III. One of the most blatantly racist and classist big-budget movies I've ever seen.)
