Death Wish saga

[AKORIS]

I'd buy the boxset (not likely) or the individual releases--

the original DEATH WISH is one of my all time favorite movies and I don't
think that Charles Bronson was "wooden" in it-- it was actually one of his
best performances.

None of the sequels were as good but they were all enjoyable (the top
highlight being Bronson mowing down an entire gang with a Gatling
(spelled right?) gun that simply has to be seen to be believed in DEATH
WISH 3

That's not a big time knock on Bronson man,

[Show spoiler]the guy just lost his wife, his daughter raped, and

he just didn't really show any emotion is all. Like I said, I love vigilante movies and I'd pick these up.

that's cool-- I wasn't really taking that as knocking on Bronson. I guess that I'm a fan and have seen most all of his movies-- I felt that his performance in DEATH WISH had more emotion than most-- I agree that he's a "limited"
actor but like Arnold Schwarzeneggar-- I pretty much enjoy everything he
does

I doubt we'll get a boxset. I'd love to at least own the first one. Jeff Goldblum as a punk= classic.

I doubt we'll ever get a boxset that includes Part 1 or 5 but I'd settle for Parts 2-4. Those are my favorites, plus the existing DVD of Part 1 looks pretty decent. Part 5 is entirely forgettable and practically a travesty. 2-4 really need a new release of some kind because those full frame MGM DVDs are garbage! I'd also love to have the unrated cut of Death Wish 2. I've seen the extended footage on YouTube and it's pretty awesome. I see that both Parts 1 and 2 are available for rent in HD on the PSN. I wonder if Part 2 is actually in WS...
