Trivia
To cut down on the budget, the scene where Kersey goes to the cinema to meet Nathan was actually filmed at The Cannon Group, Inc.'s viewing theater.

Goofs
In the morgue scene, when the body of an eighteen-year-old male is uncovered, the "corpse's" eyes visibly move.

Quotes
Rapist: Who the fuck are you?
Paul Kersey: Death!

Alternate versions
German VHS release by Cannon/VMP misses an unimportant scene of 3 seconds, probably because of bad master-material. In TV airings, most of the violence has been edited out. It was also BPjM indexed (which means certain sales & advertisement restrictions) in Germany from 1989-2017, and since its deletion from that list, the original "not under 18" rating was eventually restored.

A nice one in Bronson's Cannon line-up

Now if you expect to watch some Academy Award material here, stop reading and buy and rent something else. But if you want action-book material on the telly, this might just be the right stuff. Kersey is back, this time fighting two cocaine-gangs. Lee Thompson's directing is much more adequate than with several other Bronson-vehicles, the picture has a story to tell (whereas part 3 was just video game material) and fortunately it brings in Kay Lenz in a supporting role instead of trying to fit in Mrs Bronson (Jill Ireland) again. With nasty villains and one or two dumb police-officers we have an evening with some nice twists, shoot outs and a really good and original opening scene. Production values must have been up as well. Apart from the original this one outranks # 2.3 & 5 by far. Recommended.
