"I'm a vehemently anti-nuclear, paranoid mess, harbouring a strange obsession with radioactive sheep."

202. Older Jewish people always laugh when having spring-board devices installed in their windows to disable creeps who try to break in.

203. The Kaprovs were 12 years old when they got married, being that it was 1931 when they wed and they were nearing their 54th wedding anniversary.

207. Shriker wants bodies on slabs -- they can be the police's or the creeps'.

[–] Huskie_Jon 17 years ago

219. If you put Paul Kersey in jail for no apparent reason, and even lock him in the same cell as a bunch of dangerous thugs, he will harbor no hard feelings towards you. As a mater of fact, he will even volunteer to risk his own life to grant you a favor just to cover your arse. What a nice guy!

220. Having a springloaded plank/booby trap in the center of your living room will not upset your feng-shui. Be careful when you vacuum.

[–] kwork64-2 17 years ago

231. We now know that Bennett loves to stroll down memory lane because "20 years ago, we were running this country!" WHO exactly is "we"? old jewish people in bombed-out neighborhoods? people with "Members Only" jackets? people with machine-guns in bureaus? people who own "shops"? Who is WE, Bennett?

[–] kwork64-2 17 years ago

232. In the infamous "killing Giggler" scene, Kersey is strolling down Sutter - or maybe it`s Belmont, we just don`t know for sure - and he`s eating his ice cream bar with a camera/case slung over his shoulder. Does anyone think that people were actually saying "hey, he must be a tourist taking lovely snapshots of his vacation to Sutter and Belmont. I hope he got some good shots of that rape site, the huge piles of rubble, Bennett`s shop, and Chaco`s grave!" When you need to go on vacation--no place more touristy than Sutter and Belmont...brought to you by Bennett`s Travel Shop! My shop! My shop!

[–] tgs333 17 years ago

232. kwork64, remember...Kersey was invited up to Sutter and Belmont by Fraker "that's my turf $$$hole." lol.

[–] ran67187 17 years ago

233. People at that rathole of an apartment building just continue to lay in bed reading as Kersey, and then a creep, enter bedroom windows and walk through apartments.

234. Bulletproof vests protect you from knives -- who would have guessed?

235. Fraker would rather let a drugged-out creep in his gang go after Kersey instead of letting the other 20 or so creeps confronting him just take him out.

236. Kersy and Rodriguez seem to have nothing better to do but stroll the neighborhood waiting to confront a creep.

[–] tgs333 17 years ago

237. A wildy .475 Magnum, a 35 Cal. Machine Gun and a Rocket Launcher...one Sniper Rifle - a bullet to the head of fraker from long range under the cloak of darkness. Priceless.

"I'm a vehemently anti-nuclear, paranoid mess, harbouring a strange obsession with radioactive sheep."

[–] jessenoyes 17 years ago

244. The police chief of a major city feels safe enough to can walk around a neighborhood full of creeps without extra security or police around him.

245. Never fall asleep when fellow creeps are killing a defenseless old man -- you might miss all the fun!

246. If you piss off a creep who is incarcerated with you, be sure to watch the 6 o'clock news because he'll kill an old lady -- just for you!

[–] tgs333 17 years ago

247. It is safe to assume that A. Fraker did not kill a little old lady for Kersey to catch on the 6 o'clock news. and B. Hector was actually killed intime by Fraker to make the 6 o'clock news. and C. Fraker is not a man of his word. Though he killed someone in time to make the 6 o'clock news, he failed to make it a "little old lady" as he promised to Kersey.

"I'm a vehemently anti-nuclear, paranoid mess, harbouring a strange obsession with radioactive sheep."

[–] monsieurbibo54 17 years ago

256. Black grannies cringing in fear at their window deserve to have trash bins thrown at them.

257. If confronted by an 80s street gang, simply hold up your hand as if to say "Stop!" - they will all turn on cue and exit stage left like the cast of a West End musical.

257. When witnessing a jailhouse beating, stand alongside shouting "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!" too long, too enthusiastically, while pumping your fists.

258. You're gonna get HIGH! HIGH! HIGH!

259. Blonde female gang members: the best way to menace an old man in the street is to remove his trilby hat and dance around him like a fool.

[–] monsieurbibo54 17 years ago

hahaha nice banner. The PLUNGER guy!

[–] beastatlay 17 years ago

Yeah, I thought he should take centre stage, as is his right. Halloween before last I dressed up as an 80s street gang member complete with plunger and Fraker-gang facepaint, walking around going "Yeah, yeah!".

Like 80s action movies? ACTION ALLIANCE: http://commandofans85.proboards45.com/index.cgi

[–] monsieurbibo54 17 years ago

And now, you will DIE a pig farmer.

[–] Dan33185 17 years ago

Always be the good guy in a movie, you can be shot at 100 times and never get hit, but all you need is one shot to hit the bad guys.

[–] TopAce 17 years ago

[287] If Bennett's machine gun jams he can swing it like he's in slo-mo but it'll send a creep flying.

[288] If you're getting shot in the abdomen multiple times by Kersey flail your arms in front of yourself because there's no chance they'll get shot too. None.

[289] Close up shots of western paintings deserve heroic music.

[290] Once the leader of your gang dies, there's no hope. Run away defeated and become a peer counselor.

[291] After two quick pushups Paul Kersey is recharged and ready to kick ass.

[–] kwork64-2 17 years ago

286. As long as AMC keeps showing "Death Wish III" 2 or 3 times a week, this great list will never "expire"!

287. Fraker has some sort of mind-control over ALL creeps no matter where he`s at (i.e. the jail cell scene at the beginning--"I wanna move on the one in the corner").

288. Now that his shop! his shop! is gone and just rubble (like every other building at Sutter & Belmont), maybe Bennett can finally open up that "Bennett`s Travel Shop at the corner of Sutter and Belmont" that he always wanted. Free Blue "B" hats for all the kiddies!

289. If you have a shot of your favorite liquor every time the word "creep" is spoken--you will be hammered-drunk at the end of the movie (when it`s at it`s hilarious best!)--a new drinking game called "Death Wish Creep Shots"

[–] davepu92 17 years ago

"251. Fraker left Milwaukee after he was disowned by his parents, Howard and Marion Cunningham."

Nah. He's still upstairs. He found Howard's Penthouse collection.
