Folks don't know but even at the time when death wish 2 and 3 came out folks were calling it out for the racist undertones.

Hell the movie falling down was another movie with racist undertones. But wasn't over the top with violence like death wish.

Also it is quite wierd how violence and death at an even more gory rate is accepted today with movies and tv shows. Folks can talk about how rape scenes in old movies can't be shown today like in the 80s.

But you can literally show on network tv today folks getting shot in the head (which you couldn't show in the past). And lets not even get into the over the top violence on cable tv shows and how these shows are played on constant loops all hours of the day throughout the week.

The close ups of their faces during the rapes were so ridiculous. Literally on some

Black dudes were knocking each other out the way and jack rabbit raping while the whites were portrayed as the calm collected leaders

Them "I Spit on Your Grave" remakes are going strong tho.

Mentioned already but both Dirty Harry and Death Wish were films that played into a society that felt strongly about harsher punishments against crime during the rampaging 70s. Of course the hard base for those feelings was the right wing and the sequels let go of the societal aspect and just played up right wing fantasies.

Loved the third one tho... That white gang leader was a psycho...

I only saw the first one. It was kind of rough to watch, especially when Jeff Goldblum and his crew kill the mom and rape the daughter.

I guess I didn’t really want to see anymore after that.

I’ve seen clips of some of the others, they look so bad.
