Sequel to The Mechanic?

It's hard not to notice a striking resemblence between Holland and Arthur Bishop from a previous Charles Bronson movie, "The Mechanic", which he did 12 years earlier. Of course they are both played by the same actor, but its a safe bet that had Bishop survived in "The Mechanic", he would have aged into what Holland was.

Perhaps if Bishop did live, maybe the script would have called for this vintage Bronson character to keep the same name.

I think this and "Death Hunt" were the best Bronson-1980's flicks, which is typically known as a decline-decade for him. Spanning over his whole career, I think was a nice little sleeper movie that typically goes unnoticed. Holland and the villans were nasty, the car chase was awesome, the only problem was the ending which could have been a little more exciting. But overall I got no real complaints.
