About this listen

We wrap up the original Death Wish series with Death Wish V: The Face of Death (1994) the final theatrical film of action legend Charles Bronson.

Joined once again by Paul Payne of Evil Genius Artworks, we dig into the troubled production, shrinking budgets, Canadian tax breaks, and why this low-key sequel feels more like a farewell than a franchise entry.

From exploding soccer balls to weary vigilantes, we explore how Death Wish V became the quiet end of one of cinema’s most controversial action series.

Like, subscribe, and let us know which vigilante film we should tackle next.
