Trivia
Based on the book, "Death Sentence" - the direct sequel novel to "Death Wish," which itself was made into the movie, "Un justicier dans la ville (1974)" starring Charles Bronson. The 1974 version spawned four sequels, none of which were influenced by the novel series. The author, Brian Garfield has disliked and does not care for each of the sequels due to how it departs from his original character, and theme in the books.

Goofs
When Nick puts the red Ford into gear, he does so without the key (it's not his car). Modern cars cannot be put in gear without a key AND a foot on the brake.

Quotes
Nicholas "Nick" Hume: Where are you, you bastard?
Billy Darly: You want to send me a reward for finding that wallet of yours?
Nicholas "Nick" Hume: You tell me where the fuck you are, right now!
Billy Darly: No, I'll tell you where the fuck you are. You're in my end of the fucking sewer, buddy. I say who lives. I say who dies. Now you better get that through your fucking skull, because there's no more warnings. I'm coming for some fucking family time.
Nicholas "Nick" Hume: No. You listen to me. You go near my family, and I will cut out your goddamn guts like I did your fucking friend. Do you hear me?
Billy Darly: He wasn't my friend. He was my brother. And now I'm coming for the rest of your family. You just bought them a death sentence, motherfucker.

Crazy credits
At the end, In the music credit for "Hey Joe," there is an extra space between the words "Written by" and "Billy Roberts."

How is this film not held in higher regard?

Yes we know its "just" a revenge film for for one scene in particular where it's done in one shot... this is one of the best in years. Great acting and script... little far fetched but so are they all. Just a great film.
