Line #9 Trivia/DeathWish3


1	* AlanSmithee: Don Jakoby objected to extensive rewrites of his script and asked for his name to be removed from the credits. The film used the pseudonym "Michael Edmonds" to credit its screenwriter.
2	* CaliforniaDoubling: Although unmentioned in the film's end credits, some of it was filmed in London rather than New York City.
3	* CareerResurrection: As was the case with the second film, this gave Creator/MichaelWinner a much-needed hit after the disappointments of the remake of ''Film/TheWickedLady'' and ''Film/ScreamForHelp''.
4	* CreatorBacklash:
5	** Creator/CharlesBronson rarely granted interviews, or commented on his own films. However, he plainly stated his unhappiness with this film at least a few times, and was especially angered when he discovered that Creator/MichaelWinner filmed extremely gory shots with extras (as nameless thugs) when he was off-set.
6	** Screenwriter Don Jakoby was so unhappy with the rewrites that he used a pseudonym.
7	** Creator/MarinaSirtis does ''not'' like the film.
8	** Creator/AlexWinter is somewhat embarrassed by the film. He gives more detail [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om04KAJMuQc here]].
9	* FakeNationality: Creator/MarinaSirtis as a Latina.
10	* MoneyDearBoy: Creator/AlexWinter revealed that he took on a role in the film because he was young and broke. He saw it as a summer job. He later claimed that Bronson did the film for the same reason.
11	* 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, was Mike Moran.
12	* TheRedStapler: Kersey uses the Wildey .475 Magnum, a semi-automatic pistol that fires rounds so powerful it rivals the Desert Eagle in muzzle energy. The manufactures of the firearm were struggling financially at the time. The movie single-handedly increased the sales of the Wildey .475 Magnum and rescued the company from bankruptcy. It also counts as a CelebrityEndorsement, as it was Creator/CharlesBronson's personal pistol of choice.
13	* RefittedForSequel: The film incorporated two elements of the original novel. The first was the concept of a giggling Puerto Rican thug; the second was the use of a car as bait for thieves.
14	* ThoseTwoActors: The film reteams Creator/CharlesBronson with Creator/EdLauter, who starred with Bronson four times. [[spoiler: They even fully team up in the third act, similar to their characters in Film/BreakheartPass.]]
15	* ThrowItIn: According to Creator/AlexWinter, he and the actors playing the gang members would often improvise lines and actions.
16	** As stated above, the Wildey Magnum Kersey carries for a good portion of the film was Creator/CharlesBronson's own personal weapon.
17	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
18	** The screenplay included a male-on-male PrisonRape in its early scenes.
19	** When Creator/CharlesBronson haggled with Cannon over his fee, they offered the lead role to their other big draw Creator/ChuckNorris who turned it down claiming that the violence in the movie was "too negative".
20	** A scheduled {{novelization}} of the film was cancelled, since Brian Garfield retained the exclusive right to write sequel novels.
