THERE NO SUCH THING AS A BAD BRONSON PICTURE
Thats the truth... Well to me anyway cause i admired this guy as a child so i grew up more with the Cannon 80s action thriller movies he did. Like i did with Sly, Arnold ect...
I love what people call burt reynolds failures, Rent a cop, Malone and Heat cause they 80s. I prefer serious Burt to Smokey films.
Anyway I own all charlies films from Farewell friend all dvd/blu rays , all great pictures and not bad copies that are floating about. I see most prefare 70s charlie and hate his 80s films or other way round but I love em all because he was in them. The only problem really was Winner, he wasnt the best. Charlie snubbed alot of great film roles and directors to keep it low key and work with Winner or Thompson.
Ive seen plenty of old papers saying he turned down roles in the 80s for great directors such as Walter Hill for Extreme prej.... Oliver Stone wrote Any given sunday with Charlie in mind in 1984 but Bronson said obviously NO.
But Bronson onny cared about his 3-4 million fee Cannon dished out to him.
I must say Arnold and Slys careers have turned out much like charlie working with second rate studios like lionsgate who are considered the new cannon. But Bronson was still much loved then those guys are now.
What was your first Bronson pic you remember ? Mine was Cold Sweat then Death Wish 2... They showed them alot in the UK in the 80s. I miss the Bronson seasons on Channel 5 ; ) Good years.
