Patzer
Wells the main female in character goes into a gun shop to by the gun, there is only one problem with this. Even in the 1980s, ballistics was still a accepted science and would have been used to link a gun to the multiple murders in the film, and she bought if from a gun shop, were not only could the gun shop owner recognize her, but could certainly link the gun to her. She is supposed to be a female vigilante, and she should have been smarter then this. She should have bought it from a illegal gun dealer were they would have wiped the serial numbers, making the gun a ghost gun. This makes very little sense, and is a plot hole.

Female "Death Wish"

I saw this film under the title "Dirty Harriet", which of course is completely wrong: the heroine is not a cop, but a vigilante (a more appropriate title would have been "Pauline Kersey"!). Anyway, "Sudden Death" is also pretty accurate, as that's exactly what most people who make the mistake of attacking her get in the second half of the film. The script is poor in several ways (the heroine becomes a cold-blooded killer too easily, even her first killing doesn't seem to shake her at all; her targets are also spotted too easily, it's like there is a sex maniac around every NYC street corner; the investigation of a male detective that she befriends feels a lot like padding), and the direction is strictly-by-the-numbers. Former Miss Australia Denise Coward (what an unfortunate name!) is not bad in the lead, but the film is nothing special. *1/2 out of 4.
