Death Wish

Death Wish is a 1974 action film (starring Charles Bronson) in which a man gets revenge for the murder of his wife and rape of his daughter by becoming a vigilante, hunting down muggers and other criminals. The movie spawned four sequels and a 2018 remake.

*The Dinosaurs episode "Working Girl" features a movie trailer for Exploding Cop, in which the hero is faced with the deaths of his partner, wife, kids, parents, and travel agent, and his pet dog got beaten up several times. Later in the episode, the Exploding Cop II trailer is shown, with even more deaths. The mounting body count reflects the Death Wish series, as the lead seeks revenge for his wife, daughter, police contact, old army friend, girlfriend, and more. Exploding Cop II references the serialized nature of the franchise, with Death Wish V released the same year as the episode, and Robbie remarks on the violent nature of such movies (a common criticism of Death Wish and its ilk).
