The Exterminator

Vigilantes in the 1980s were everyday people who just lost faith in McGruff the Crime Dog.

And while the lawful mascot isn't mentioned in this action movie, his presence is felt.

POW John (Robert Ginty) tries to assimilate back in NYC when the Ghetto Ghouls break into where he works and kills his co-worker. Enraged he grabs a flamethrower and exacts revenge. Unsatisfied, John moves on to busting up the mafia and a child sex ring. Dubbed the Exterminator by the press, John is dogged by a determined detective (Christopher George).

Dubbed a Death Wish doppelganger by critics on its released, this obvious nod to the seminal street vigilante blockbuster also had a second-rate sequel. Decades on and this alleged knockoff still holds its own with some pretty intense interrogation and death scenes that rival modern remakes.

Furthermore, scorching thugs is a double win because it also feeds the neighbourhood. Yellow Light
