Line 57:
* [[Retirony]]: In ''Death Wish 3''. [[Token Romance|As if her hooking up with Paul isn't bad enough]], by the time Kathryn Davis declares her intent to quit her job as a public defender and move to a new city for a fresh start, it's obvious she's doomed.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: When the first movie starts, Kersey is essentially a pacifist until his wife is murdered and his daughter raped into catatonia, then turns violent against criminals. While all five of the films have Kersey seeking vengeance, ''Death Wish II'' is perhaps the one that most resembles this particular trope.
* [[Same Language Dub]]: Some of the extras in ''3'' were dubbed over due to their British accents.
* [[Sequel Escalation]]: The bodycount per film for the first four films rise as the series progress.
* [[Sock It to Them]]: In the first film Kersey gets $20 worth of rolled quarters, puts them into a sock, practices swinging the flail around in his apartment, and then carries it around during the day. Soon someone with a knife tries to mug him, and a single hit makes the other guy drop the knife and try to run away, go headfirst into a wall, and then stumble off.
