History Trivia / DeathWish3

** Creator/CharlesBronson wasn't happy about the film, and rarely spoke about it.

* PopStarComposer: The opening credits boasts that the film features a soundtrack by [[Music/LedZeppelin Jimmy Page]]. This is a bad case of exploiting ExactWords; Page's soundtrack for ''Film/DeathWishII'' was [[RecycledSoundtrack recycled]] for this film, and he did not provide any new music. The film's actual composer, responsible for rearranging Page's work, is Mike Moran.
* TheRedStapler: Kersesy uses the Wildey Magnum, a semi-automatic pistol that fires rounds so powerful it rivals the Desert Eagle in muzzle energy. The company that makes the firearm was struggling at the time, and was close to bankruptcy. The movie single-handedly increased the sales of the Wildey Magnum and rescued the company. It also counts as a CelebrityEndorsement, as it was Creator/CharlesBronson's personal pistol.
