What the world needs now is a Charles Bronson thread.

Check out Kinjite and The Evil that Men do. Both are great Bronson films.

A1. Will do. Pretty sure I stumbled across a copy of Kinjite on Plex yesterday actually so I know at least that one's easily grabbable.

I've got Hard Times, Kinjite and The Evil That Men do loaded up on the Plex and ready to work my way through them. I just need to draw attention to the tag line for The Evil That Men Do:
"Most criminals answer to the law.
The World's most savage exectuioner must answer to Bronson.
It's 1984 and Bronson has never been hotter!"

Those are all pretty great. HARD TIMES is wildly different from the other two. Looking forward to your thoughts on all three.

Jesus... The Evil That Men Do and Kinjite do not fuck around. If they were modern movies I would have to decry their casual racism and rampant fascism but because they're from the 80s I can enjoy them with a clear conscious as 'time capsules'.

What was with that scene with Bronson and a dildo in Kinjite? You know what makes that scene weirder? Remembering that Bronson kicked the door in to get into that hotel room and thus any hotel guests passing by are going to see Bronson casually sodomising a dude with a rubber cock. The ending of this one is surprisingly spectacular. I don't mean the bit with him handing the bad guys over to the rapists, I mean the bit on the docks with the out of control dock hardware. Very cool stuff.

All in all enjoyed both. I give the edge to Kinjite just because it had more moments that had me feeling pleasantly ashamed for watching but TETMD had it's charms.

Next try MURPHY'S LAW if you're looking for sleazy laughs. You have seen DEATH WISH 3, correct? If not, stop what you're doing and put it on immediately. It's one of the reigning champs of bad movies.

Have you seen 10 TO MIDNIGHT? That has a similar vibe as KINJITE and THE EVIL THAT MEN DO. I'll second MURPHAY'S LAW as well.

HARD TIMES is very much a classic-type period drama. IMO, it stands far above the Cannon-era films he did. It also co-star James Coburn and that alone is worth watching it for.

Also, have you seen his westerns and western adjacent films from around that period? BREAKHEART PASS, WHITE BUFFALO, DEATH HUNT, CHATO'S LAND, etc. Many of these came out after the first DEATH WISH but before he went all in on his Cannon '80s work and they are all excellent films.

I've seen basically nothing here. 80s US trash has never been my thing. Possibly it should be. I'll get onto a few the ones recommended by yourself and Matt asap. Death Wish 3 should be easy to source one would assume.

Oh my god, I'm so jealous. I wish I could go back to my first viewing of DW3. Enjoy.

You are in for a treat!
