Death Wish 3 is a 1985 action thriller, and the second sequel to the 1974 film Death Wish. Written by Don Jacoby (under the pseudonym Michael Edmonds), and featuring Charles Bronson returning to the role of Paul Kersey, Death Wish 3 is the last in the series to be directed by Michael Winner and was shot in both New York and London to reduce production costs. It has developed a cult favorite status by many fans of the series, despite most professional critics favoring the original. Death Wish 3 was released in the United States in November 1985.

The film pits Paul Kersey (Bronson) against feral New York street gangs, while receiving support from a local police lieutenant (played by Ed Lauter). The film focuses more on action sets in the vein of Rambo and Commando. Kersey is shown firing a Wildey .475 caliber handgun, a .38 caliber snubnose revolver, a .30 caliber Browning air cooled machine gun, and a L.A.W. (light anti-tank weapon) handheld rocket launcher.
