Death Wish II ( 1982 )

Having used himself as bait in Death Wish (1974) to rid New York City of its scum, Paul Kersey moves to sunny Los Angeles. And with his traumatised daughter still trying to recover from the shock, Paul seeks to bury the ugly past. Instead, Paul catches the eye of savage thugs, inviting tragedy again. But this time, Kersey knows better. Now, armed with an unforgiving semi-automatic Beretta 84 pistol, Kersey prowls the city's perilous backstreets, eager to pick up where he left off eight years ago. However, Paul's brutal justice method has already attracted unwanted attention. With police hands tied, will the notorious vigilante step up to finish the job?—Nick Riganas
