It was an Orion film - another brand that MGM own and have done sod all with.

Yeah,you're right it was that starry orion logo at the start.

MGM's horror/action/exploitation output seems to have vanished since Fox got involved...

I've been contemplating picking up all the DW films on dvd for a some time. Could you all recommend me which are the best versions (cut status, etc) to pick up? Cheers!

I'd say the region 4 double feature of Death Wish 1/2 and the Dutch or German dvds of Death Wish 3-5 released by MGM.

The German dvds are available here

Who popped up in THE DESCENT II as a Sheriff.
Guess he changed sides after ol' Charlie RPG'd him....

He was also the looney gang leader in Death Wish 3 and Annette O'Toole's smug boyfriend in Superman III. Never seems to play good guys (a similar trait to his dad really).

I THOUGHT that was Brad from Superman III.

Yeah and was Neil Kinnock's love child in Death Wish 3

I also recall him as Barbara Carrera's fighter pilot brother in Connery's Never Say Never Again. Definitely the love child of Kinnock Boyo, though with hair he slightly resembles William (Ghostbusters) Atherton too.
