Death Wish II
As reviewed by Miguel Concubine Kesey
Murphy is back! Ok, so it isn't Murphy...but it's Charles Bronson...and he IS Murphy's Law according to Juan.
Juan and myself watched Death Wish II because Fletch, Fitzy and Mon were away running about the streets in the middle of the night...and we laughed heartily, because they missed such an amazing film..
It's Michael Winner at his best again, and there's even a Jimmy Page soundtrack... what more do you want?!
That's right, it's shite.
Here's how it goes, Murphy played by Chuck Brosnan is at a carnival with his girlfriend and his daughter, who looks about 29 but seems to be acting like a wee weirdo. We don't know if she's meant to be portrayed as retarded or just fucking weird...but, that didn't stop us taking the piss anyway...
Anyway, he goes for some ice-cream and bad guys steal his wallet, so he chases one of them down an alley (which he seems to do a lot) and they vow revenge...so they goto his house, rape his maid, steal his daughter, rape his daughter, and then, ultimately kill his daughter...
So, needless to say, Murphy was in dire need of a sandwich.
As in every Death Wish film, Murphy takes his revenge by wearing a silly wee hat and using a silly wee gun to shoot silly wee men. Except that big guy with the curly hair... he was frightening...he was like the incredible hulk.
So, anyway, that's what happened...and at the end, Murphy goes : "What else would I be doing?" and puts on a stupid face...then it shows you his shadow and you hear gunshots...so we think Murphy went out on the town looking for some action and he got gangraped by some pedestrians who wanted to steal his shoes.
