Big Chuck

Classic. One of the great westerns from one of the greatest directors. As a side note, Charles Bronson kicks ass!

Some young punks step out of line and it's up to Chuck to take out the trash. Bronson plays Paul Kersey very well, portraying a liberal turned executioner to maximum effect. He pulls off the nervousness Kersey feels when he takes on the task of vigilante and his eventual feeling that it's his responsibility to rid the world of criminals. In the novel he apparantly goes completely insane to the point where he is killing people he believes might be criminals, and there are hints of that in Bronson's characterization. Excellent film that started a very entertaining series.

Bronson kicking ass in the depression. Great film that works dramatically and as an awesome duke it out film.

Great army film about the outcasts and misfits and cretins. Amazing cast in a fairly dark movie for such a mainstream hit.

Based on Kurosawa's awesome Seven Saurai film, this moves the story to the American west with tremendous success. An ensamble cast at their finest and an excellent story (of course). My only complaint is Bronson should've kicked way more ass, I mean, it's Bronson!

Exciting escape movie, and check out who survives. That's right!

Great Penn movie with two amazing actors doing some of their best work... oh yeah, and one God (Bronson) taking a hiatus from ass kicking to give an amazing performance. It's awesome how Penn uses great actors the world has forgotten about (Bronson, Mickey Rourke and Michael O Keefe in The Pledge, Morse at the time) and gets the performances of a lifetime out of them. A great story about 2 brothers with different mindsets and ideals. And Bronson is in it!

Excellent film. The first 16 minutes is completely without dialogue showing Bronson doing a job. Then it becomes a sad story about fathers and lack of them. Bronson's character seals his fate after becoming a paternal figure to Jan Michael Vincent but still remains a number one ass-kicker til the bitter end. The punk should have watched his step!

Bronson is hired to take out the trash, this time being a doctor who specializes in torture and interogation. Bronson in this film specializes in squeezing people's nutsack until they die. Guess who wins.

Great face off film that I'm seeing on TV more and more nowadays. Awesome!

Should've been called Charles Bronson and friends. Chuck, Robert Duvall, Randy Quaid, John Huston and, of course, Jill Ireland star in this really fun flick where Bronson plays a fast talking, con-man, airplane pilot hired by Ireland to break out her husband from prison. Along with seeing Bronson in a fun role this is well worth seeing just for a splatterific scene straight out of Braindead (or Raiders of the Lost Ark for the strong stomached). After watching this I think the Russell Crowe, Meg Ryan flick Proof of Life (which I also enjoyed, gotta love David Morse and Caruso) should've been credited as a remake.

Assassins living as normal Americans are programed to kill when they are given a certain phrase (I'll think of the word later and replace this... what the hell is the word I'm looking for? Let's just say a "trigger" word). Like Manchurian Candidate if Bronson had been there to kick all kinds of ass.

Bronson plays a cop on the edge. I like it. Obviously a movie that helped Asian-American relations in the 80's (note the hint of sarcasm. Being Japanese wasn't a good thing in this film). Very downbeat film but you got to love what Bronson calls "Justice".

When Charles Bronson died I finally realized that there is no escaping death. If God can take Bronson without a couple black eyes, everyone else is doomed. The punk in this film should have watched his step because he forced Bronson to take out the trash. Awesome!

This is the one where Paul Kersey turns into Maguyver. Really entertaining with a great psychotic villain. Also love the scene where the DA gets a cab out to where she believes Kersey possibly lives, sees him walking on the street and asks him out on a date... after he is released from jail. Well, she is the first person to ever look at Bronson and her immediate reaction is that he's "gentle". Awesome movie that is constantly entertaining.

Bronson has to take out the trash, but this time it's female trash out to destroy his life. This nutbar (you have to be crazy to mess with Bronson) frames Chuck for some murders and he has to break out of jail with an unfunny, yet hillarious, female punk in tow. For some reason Bronson takes a shine to her, and finally confronts the psycho chick. I can't go on, I don't want to spoil who wins for those who haven't watched it, but I'll give you a hint. Bronson kicks ass!

A great ending to a great franchise. Two extremely likable villains, Tom O Shea and Freddy Flakes (I think that's his name, the dandruff guy). Even in his twilight years, you really shouldn't piss Bronson off. Plus a lot of laugh out loud moments and the best fat man through a plate glass window I've ever seen. Now I guess I need to see Death Sentence to round off the whole Death Wish experience (it was a sequel or something in book form). God, I wish they could make Death Wish VI: Kersey Goes Bananas.

While not as funny as the comedy Death Wish 3, this is one effin entertaining flick. I think I am officially a J. Lee Thompson fan, the man made some wonderfully violent eighties Bronson extravaganzas which are up there with my favourite action films. In this one it seems they are going back to basics at the beginning, someone close to Kersey is killed, but then Kersey becomes Yojimbo after being financed by a millionaire to help take out the trash. With the inventive kills, Kersey is almost becoming like a Jason or Freddy.

Bronson goes to LA to take care of some punks... and I don't mean babysit them! I mean kill them (in case you were wondering). Pretty good vigilante film, I like the angle that Kersey is hiding that he's a vigilante from his fiance. Not yet as cheesy as it becomes, the only part that screams cheese is when the punks (including Lawrence Fishburne III) hang out in the park doing a homo-erotic dance routine before buying guns in another part of the city entirely. I can totally see why Bronson feels the need to rid the world of them after watching them dance. Goodbye.

A very Italian movie with the inclusion of Bronson as an American asskicker.

Charles Bronson is a reporter investigating a Mormon blood feud. The opening scene is brutal and very well done, reminding me of Once Upon A Time in the West. The "cowboys" being kept in shadow was quite eerie.

I remember thinking, even as a kid, aren't these Bronson movies kind of crappy? Luckily I grew up and now revel in the crap.
