Absolutely, this random clip from Death Wish (1974) I stumbled upon on YouTube is entirely interchangeable with my memory of the infamous NYC subway vigilante Bernhard Goetz. The momentum to clean-up the city had been building steadily in films in and about the Big Apple throughout the 70s and early 80s, and in many ways culminated in a media-charade John Wayne moment that provided a means to publicly mobilize the shiny, happy city we see today. I love you Charlie, but you’re killing me.
