Death Wish ‘most copied’ film

Published September 5th, 2006


Director Michael Winner believes his 1974 film Death Wish to be the most copied film in cinema history.
Winner, 70, said Death Wish, which starred Charles Bronson as a vengeful vigilante, was a “watershed film”.

The British director, who made two sequels, said that before he made the film it was “inconceivable” that a hero could be shown killing other citizens.

“It broke barriers that had existed since the inception of cinema,” Winner told Reuters news agency.
