He's back in New York bringing justice to the streets...

The legendary Charles Bronson (opens in a new tab) in full effect on this British quad for director Michael Winner’s (opens in a new tab) final Death Wish film (Bronson would go on to star in two more). Today, the film has a cult following despite being critically panned upon release. Although it’s set in New York the majority of filming took place in London and the British actors later had their voice dubbed over by American airmen based in the UK.

The film features a lot of memorably over-the-top action – a prime example would be the ‘Giggler’ scene (opens in a new tab) – and several spectacularly cheesy lines of dialogue; “It’s like killing roaches – you have to kill ’em all, otherwise what’s the use?”

The quad is an adaptation of the American one sheet (opens in a new tab) featuring artwork by Stan Watts.

The original trailer is on YouTube (opens in a new tab).
