Non-Cannon ~ Episode 30 - Death Wish V: The Face of Death (1994)



And here we are at the final Death Wish movie! Five movies spread over 20 years has led to this moment where Charles Bronson dons the Paul Kersey role one last time. It's a bit bittersweet saying goodbye to the series here on Cannon Cruisers.

Of course this came hear the end of his career and was his final theatrical movie, taking place in the 90s almost seven years after the previous movie. That said, it's hard to tell. It is the weakest Death Wish movie on an execution level, but difficult to dislike. Had there been another film after this it would not be as unique a curiosity, and the final shot does well by Bronson's whole career. This isn't the last we'll see of him on Cannon Cruisers, but this film is a good enough send off.

You can hear our full thoughts in the episode above.

Randy's Score: 2/5
