Death Wish II

[Machine Translation] This is the sequel to "Farewell to the Wolf" ('74), a classic "vigilante" film about vigilantes and self-defense, and the second installment in Charles Bronson-Paul Kersey's popular "Death Wish" series, which has grown to five films. Directed by Michael Winner as in the previous film, this super violent action film blows away the social aspects of the previous film, and depicts the main character Paul Kersey as a killing machine that destroys all the ticks in the world after a gruesome, bloodcurdling rape and slaughter. The music is by Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, who replaced Herbie Hancock in the previous film, and sparks the screen with a furious soundtrack that depicts the bloody violence of the film. --While living in New York City, Paul Kersey's wife was murdered and his daughter raped by a mugger, and he became a vigilante, executing criminals with his own hands. Years later, Kersey relocated to Los Angeles, where he was supporting his mentally ill daughter and living a peaceful life with his new girlfriend. But on the day her daughter was released from the hospital after a long illness, tragedy struck again. The house helpers were assaulted and slaughtered by the "ticks" of the city, and the daughter fell prey to the rape of five ticks and took her own life. Kersey was saddened and furious. He loaded his Colt .45 and turned into a wolf in the night, determined to bring the mites to justice with his own hands. The drama of retribution begins once again.
