Goofs:

Factual errors: A LAWS rocket is an antitank rocket housed in a disposable launch tube. It is not reloadable as shown. Nor does it have a pistol grip. The launcher has a simple visual sight and a button on the top of the tube to fire the weapon.

Quotes:

Richard S. Shriker: [speaking to Kersey] I have a theory. If I'm right, after LA you turned pro.
[looks a newspaper clippings]
Richard S. Shriker: Six creeps shot dead in a week. Four gang mebers killed in Kansas City.

Soul Grinding Fun!!!

Oh my word!! I have never seen a film so lacking in any kind of moral judgement or consideration for anything other than the death of the scum! Michael Winner here makes a valid observation of human desires in displaying a gung-ho troth world of deep and damaged execution. Not only does he spoon feed us with utter hell on earth seen through the face of the moustached Bronson, but he also shows us the spoon he's feeding us with and says "look at what your watching now look at your self and ask the question: Are you enjoying this?" And even though you'll tell yourself NO IT CAN'T BE!!!! You'll know that deep down inside you'll know...it's a masterpiece
