Trivia
According to Michael Winner's biography, Charles Bronson's alcoholic brother often visited the set to borrow money. Bronson was careful not to give him too much in case someone might kill him for it. He was later found dead in a cheap hotel room having been stabbed in the buttocks.

Goofs
In Death Wish (1974), Kersey's daughter is married (her husband is seen with Kersey at the hospital after the attack) but in Death Wish II (1982), no mention is made of Kersey's son-in-law. However, given that several years pass between the movies, it is possible the two separated and/or divorced sometime between films.

Quotes
Paul Kersey: You believe in Jesus?
Stomper: Yes, I do.
Paul Kersey: Well, you're gonna meet him.
[Paul shoots Stomper dead]

Alternate versions
The R-rated US release is heavily edited missing part of the rape scene of the maid and most of the rape scene of Kersey's daughter (and her graphic suicide). The uncut version is available on BluRay.

Not As Bad As Critics Say

Of all the Death Wish sequels, this was the best. I think once they got to up part 3 with all the machine guns and rocket launchers, then it started to get a little stupid. The story almost has an identical plot outline as the first one and the action is just as good, if not, then even better. The shootout at San Pedro park was awesome!!! The only difference is that they make Paul Kersey have more emotional interaction with the creeps he kills which makes it seem to be more "Hollywood". In the first Death Wish, Kersey would just kill them stone cold without having a conversation. That's why the original was so good as so realistic.
