Visible crew/equipment: Just before he shoots the first thug, when he realises he's being followed, the camera keeps cutting between the characters, and when it cuts to Bronson you can see the shadow of someone walking along to his left. But he's supposed to be alone. (00:43:15)

9.1/10.The beginning of a great franchise.Charles Bronson is a man's man and a true gentleman of the big screen. I liked the subtle social commentary put in. It addresses how ethnicity shouldn't matter, all criminals should be stopped. If they want to risk their lives against police and armed private citizens then they've signed their own death wishes. Bronson as Paul Kersey sees the light after his wife dies and his daughter's attacked. I would easily put this on par with Dirty Harry.
Trivia: A very young, tall and thin Jeff Goldblum plays one of the thugs that murders Bronson's wife. He is credited as Freak 1.
