* TheLopsidedArmOfTheLaw: Demonstrated with great drama in a single scene: when gang members barge into the apartment of an old man and his wife, the man fears enough for his life that he draws a gun and intimidates the criminals into running away. Alas, an "anonymous call" informs the police that the man owns the gun (it was unlicensed) and a cop comes to take it away, disregarding the old man's flat-out ''pleads'' for help. The ''same gang members'' come back ''that very night'' to take everything that is not nailed down in the apartment.

''Death Wish 3'' (1985) is a movie in the ''Film/DeathWish'' series starring Creator/CharlesBronson.
Kersey returns to New York to visit an old buddy from his days in the Korean War, only to find him dead after another attack by gang-punks. He is mistakenly arrested for the murder, but the head cop offers him a deal: reporting any gang activity to him in exchange for being able to kill all the punks he wants. Kersey moves into the buddy's old apartment, where he and his neighbors are viciously attacked by the gang, and things escalate until an all-out urban war erupts in the final fifteen minutes, leading to Creator/CharlesBronson's biggest onscreen kill count ever. It is also the movie that popularized the Wildey Survivor pistol in .475 Wildey Magnum (and saved Wildey from then-imminent bankruptcy in the process).

!!This film provides examples of:
* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Paul sets a trap for some gang members using a car as bait. Later, two gang members try to steal it, one of them is black, the other one is white. When they threaten Kersey, the black one gets shot first.
* CaliforniaDoubling: Although unmentioned in the film's end credits, some of it was filmed in London rather than New York.
* EveryCarIsAPinto: A more ludicrous example happens, when the car Kathryn is in slowly rolls down a hill, hits another car and they're both engulfed by huge explosions.
* HandCannon: Paul's friend "Wildey" (more specifically, the .475 Wildey Magnum). Currently the most powerful semiautomatic handgun in the world.
* {{Retirony}}: [[CartwrightCurse 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.
