Racial equality among muggers

I just finished reading Brian Garfield's novel Death Wish (1972), so of course I had to see the original movie, Michael Winner's Death Wish (1974). I don't necessarily have the patience to watch the few sequals - also starring Charles Bronson - let alone the Bruce Willis remake, but this truly is a great film where we follow a development engineer Paul Kersey getting tired of the scum and the filth of New York City.
