Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
The Stone Killer is a 1973 American action neo noir thriller film produced and directed by Michael Winner and starring Charles Bronson. It came out in between The Mechanic (1972) and Death Wish (1974), all three of which teamed up actor/director Bronson and Winner. Norman Fell and John Ritter appear as cops in this film, not too long before they would reunite for the TV series Three's Company. Ritter would also soon be reunited with co-star Ralph Waite for The Waltons. Character actor Stuart Margolin plays a significant role; he also appeared in Death Wish. It was one of many Dirty Harry-type films featuring rogue cops who don't "play by the rules" that were released in the wake of that film's success. Cristina Raines can briefly be seen as the daughter of Waite's character; Winner would later hire Raines for the leading role in The Sentinel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
