Death Wish - Watch Order: Charles Bronson Films Only
The connected Charles Bronson storyline follows Paul Kersey's complete character evolution from reluctant architect-turned-vigilante to full-blown urban warrior across twenty years.
This order focuses solely on the original narrative arc, showing how the franchise dramatically shifts from the serious, morally complex crime drama of the first film to the campy action spectacle of the later sequels. Perfect for those wanting to experience Bronson's iconic portrayal without the narrative disruption of the unconnected 2018 remake.
