The Charles Bronson Appreciation Thread

[Gerry]

I like Charles "Buchinsky" Bronson  .

[antonis]

Really liked the first one,so I just bought this one.Has anybody read it ?

[Christopher]

I read the first one earlier this year, and didn't even know about a second one! Thanks, antonis, I'll check on it sometime. Might be worth a read.

I just took advantage of some gift cards and ordered Bronson's Loose Again.

Gift cards are great for things like this.  Charles Bronson is great!

I was browsing DVDs and saw this movie called Death Kiss, which was released this year: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7886442/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_2

Take a look at the cover.

^ That's pretty funny. Apparently this Robert Kovacs, aka Robert Bronzi, is trying to make a career as a Charles Bronson "doppelgänger." Here's an interview with him:

There's really an uncanny resemblance in those photos!

It's pretty ridiculous how much this guy is trying to look like Charles Bronson. He must sound different, no, or is he trying to imitate Bronson's voice as well?

[KC]

Bronson could speak?

[AKA23]

KC, to be honest, I've seen very few movies that he's been in. The first "Death Wish," and "The Family of Cops" series of movies that he did when he was in his 70's. I kind of like him as a personality, but am not really familiar with his acting beyond those few movies. I wasn't really a fan of the "Death Wish" concept, so I never saw any of the sequels. 

[Christopher]

I'd watch Death Kiss out of curiosity. I didn't buy it though. That could be a rental for me. I am a Bronson fan, which should be obvious from this thread. I can get into Bronson kicks from time to time and have a decent collection of his movies on DVD.

AKA, I have the Family of Cops movies on DVD, but actually I've only seen the first one. Maybe I should do a little marathon there.

I reckon Hard Times is easily Bronsons best movie

I watched Death Kiss today, which I posted about above in December 2018 (I guess that's one way to spend Leap Day  ). I watched it on a free streaming service called Tubi. They have ads so the movies/shows on there are free, but there was only one commercial break during the movie. Anyway, the movie was okay. AKA asked a while back about if Kovacs is trying to sound like Bronson as well, and I'd say not really. He didn't speak much but it didn't sound like he was trying to sound like him. Most of his lines were around two words or so. For real.

Daniel Baldwin is named on the poster I posted before, but I hadn't realized that he was in the first Family of Cops movie. I wonder if he shared stories on set about working with the real Bronson.
