What the world needs now is a Charles Bronson thread.

Cheers. I see Google Play has it and always up for some Walter Hill so I will get onto it and report back.

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Dom, if you haven't seen it, you should look for HARD TIMES. Walter Hill directs and Bronson is so badass.

Watched The Mechanic last night. Good manly fare. The reviews set me up for something that was quieter, slower and more abstract. I was pleased to find it was just a good straight ahead action film. They don't make 'em like this anymore. I should probably delve more deeply into the Bronson back catalogue. Haven't even seen Death Wish yet though I think I may have seen some sequels.

Hi Ian,
Dad was not never on set with Bronson, this was just a story he recounted from something he read or from someone he met. I'm unsure of the original source.

Best wishes to you and yours as well!

Sorry I can't help, Darcy. What movie was your dad on set with Bronson on?

Hope you and yours are doing well.

I have a question that is indirectly Charles Bronson related.

I'm trying to recall a story that my dad (George Barry) told me. On a Charles Bronson set, a co-star of his allegedly brought in prostitutes and cocaine- enough to share.

This irritated the crap out of Bronson as he was a private and serious man. Anyone know who the actor and film might be? I asked my brother and he thinks this might have happened on an Italian set, but also does not remember the actor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Grieving is brutal, especially when you want to remember everything- every moment and every story becomes so precious. Even a story about prostitutes and cocaine.

The PQ is very good. I didn't enjoy it as much this time as its a bit slow in spots. But there are a few scenes that are batshit crazy and make it well worth sitting through.

I actually caught this one in the theater, and it was a bit rougher than most of the 80's Cannon fodder he was in. If it gets positive reviews, I'll probably cave and pick this up.

Yup, it's only available to US customers. Wouldn't let me buy it.

That's interesting. I've seen the DVD once and remember it having quite a bit of rough stuff in it.

The only really good extended bit of violence is when Bronson throws the knife into Raymond St-Jacques' neck.

The extra frames are of inferior quality on the German edition. I wonder if Shout has improved the footage.

[Jason C]

Don't get too excited for the unrated version - it's literally just extra frames added to some of the gun blasts.

Very excited to have The Evil That Men Do, but $40 stings. It's been a long wait and I wasn't confident it would happen on disc, but I'd feel a bit better if it came in a nicer package. I'm feeling spoiled by Arrow's Deluxe Steelbooks, Vinegar Syndrome's Ultra Magnet Clasp boxes, and German Mediabooks. That said, I'm thrilled we're getting the Unrated Cut and would have paid double if I had too.

It seems to be exclusive to the US. People have asked about it in the comments but no replies yet. Maybe Diabolik will get some copies in.
