This has been bugging me for the longest time. Anyone know, if Bronson and "Evil That Men Do" co-star Joseph Maher ever even met during filming ? They don't meet at all in the film, and the few scenes they 'share' together could technically have been shot seperately, without the other being present. Know what I mean ?

I'm an actor myself and it's POSSIBLE that they never met, but unlikely, especially for a relatively low budget movie. The shots in those mining scenes were probably shot on the same day or at least very close to it.
shareIMO Probably not! I think the final scene was shot separately...
Prostitute: What the *beep* are you doing?
Johnny: I'm gonna kill a bunch of people.
I watched the climactic scene very closely and I've now concluded that they weren't on set together. You never see their faces in the same shot. Twice you see Molloch's face and Holland's back, probably a double. Furthermore, since my last post, I learned that Bronson, an avid family man who took his wife and kids with him when he shot movies, had a clause in his contact limiting him to eight hours of work a day. So it's unlikely they would've had him on set if they could use a double instead.
shareLOL Good catch. I never thought about it while viewing the film, but you're right.
If most (or all) of the filming was done during a few weeks in Mexico, I would have figured that they would have met at some point, since a large part of the non-Mexican crew probably would have been together at some point, for social reasons if nothing else. But yeah it's possible they were never together on set. Interesting.
