Death Wish is the 1974 cult classic thriller based on the novel by Brian Garfield and stars Charles Bronson as Paul Kersey, a quiet architect who becomes a vigilante, when his wife is killed and his daughter is raped by three muggers (including one played by Jeff Goldblum in his film debut). Bronson would go on to star in four more "Death Wish" films. It's also of interest that author Brian Garfield wrote a sequel novel to Death Wish, which served as the basis for the 2007 Kevin Bacon film Death Sentence.
The following weapons were used in the film Death Wish (1974):
