In art class we were once required to talk one by one about our favorite movie. Classmates mentioned movies like Citizen Kane, Fellini's 8 1/2, Sunset Boulevard etc etc; I mentioned Death Wish 3. My classmates looked shyly at their feet. "No for real" I said,"has anyone seen it??". Off course no one had, no one with a acquired taste for the cinematic arts will ever want to watch Death Wish 3. But i am standing by my statement. Death Wish 3 is the best movie ever made; it is better than citizen Kane; it is better than 10 citizen Kane's together. A movie with a quality like Death Wish 3 will unlikely ever be made again. This was cinema's finest hour. A one and a half hour wild cinematic pleasure ride filled with cartoon like mayhem; a wild ride into the ultimate bizarre, a completely overwhelming dreamlike adventure of violence, rape, revenge, a one and a half hour delve into the depths of a world where we find out that a clockwork orange was not the best film about violence. Death Wish 3 gives us a world where we get mugged or killed the moment we leave the house, a world where we get our throats sliced when we have dinner, a world where all women get constantly raped and a world where only one men single handed kills 574 punks with a wild range of weapons. The end where Bronson stands on a rooftop a machine guns down a leftover punks from the streets is so bizarre and so over the top is has to be seen to be believed. Do not take this movie serious; it is funny, overacted, violent but in a cartoon like way. This is an unreal bizarre world, this is a movie with a statement more clear than any other movie ever made. This movie is the movie that tops all other movies ever made. This movie is the ultimate cinematic master piece. Although Bronson himself hated this movie; I doubt if he was still alive he might have actually come to appreciate this one as his finest movie. I challenge everyone to see this movie ...............it is simply the best one ever to have graced the screens.

This must me my Belmondo's all time favorite. Off course do not take it to serious, think it is historically correct or make the mistake to think it is realistic. Step into this movie with an open mind and you get rewarded because this is AN ALL TIME FAMILY COMEDY CLASSIC.

An absolute magnificent combination of gags, jokes and fun during the Olympic Games in Berlin late 1930's. You can watch this one multiple times and it just gets better and better. Fantastic, an ultimate Comedy Movie. The part at Hitler's castle just doesn't get better than this. Outrageous.

See it, Feel It and Enjoy it like I have done so many times. A winner!!!

The movie feels like a stage play at times. It is witty, funny and has great moments, (and a few disappointing scenes too). Overall great fun and a welcome break from Belmondo's "policier"/adventure comedies of the 70's and 80's.

This movie can be watched over and over again. All the actors play well with slight overacting with results in the "stage play feeling" together with the relatively few different sets.

The speed boat sequence in the opening of the film seems a bit weird and should be ignored.

Anyway highly recommended comedy from French Grounds.

Belmondo is and will always be a great actor.
