In 1980, The Cannon Group, Inc. had secured the rights to produce a sequel to Il giustiziere della notte (1974), titled "Death Wish II" or "Death Sentence", to be written by Brian Garfield, author of the original 1972 novel. However, David Engelbach would instead write the screenplay for the estimated 6 million dollar production. Michael Winner clarified that producers Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus were unsatisfied with Garfield's 1974 sequel to his novel, so they purchased the rights to Garfield's characters, which would allow them to create their own story. Cannon obtained the property from Dino De Laurentiis and Paramount Pictures, who released the first film. Although the first film concludes with Paul Kersey escaping New York City to Chicago, IL, Winner chose to set the sequel in Los Angeles, CA, to achieve "a much different look from New York City".
