Death Wish II (1982)

In the gritty sequel to Death Wish (1974), the relentless vigilante, Paul Kersey, trades the mean streets of New York for the sun-drenched sprawl of Los Angeles. Haunted by past horrors, he yearns for a fresh beginning with his traumatized daughter and newfound love, hoping to bury the ghosts of their past in this city of angels. However, peace proves elusive as Kersey finds himself in the crosshairs of a ruthless gang of street thugs whose savagery knows no bounds. The tranquility of their lives shatters when Kersey, while standing up to a mugging, kindles the ire of the gang leader. In a cruel twist of fate, the thugs retaliate by violating his home, assaulting his housekeeper, and abducting his vulnerable daughter. The aftermath is a tragic loss that reignites Kersey's thirst for justice. Fueled by grief and a burning desire for vengeance, he reclaims his semi-automatic Beretta 84 pistol, prowling the grimy underbelly of L.A, determined to cleanse the city of its brutal predators. Meanwhile, the L.A. authorities, grappling with the resurgence of vigilantism, turn to their New York counterparts, who are all too familiar with Kersey's brand of justice. Fearful that their past leniency towards Kersey might come to light, the NYPD dispatches Inspector Ochoa to ensure that the truth remains buried. As Kersey wages his solitary war on crime, he must evade not just the gang seeking revenge but also the law enforcement closing in on him. In Death Wish II, Paul Kersey is once again caught in a deadly game of retribution and survival. Armed with his unwavering resolve and trusty pistol, he stands as a symbol of brutal justice, ready to confront the ugliness of the world. Will he succeed in his mission, or will the relentless forces of the law finally corner the infamous vigilante? Only the darkened alleyways of Los Angeles hold the answer.
