Keep in mind that Bronson was 55 when that movie was made. Look at how toned he is, zero body fat. He was what they used to call a natural athlete. He had perfect balance and in between takes in movies he would often stand by himself away from the set, not moving a muscle, for as long as an hour, just staring into the distance. He worked out for an hour a day most of his life. Climbing ropes, heavy punching bag, free weights. At 75 he could do 100 pushups. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

No, I read his biography years ago, he was a natural athlete. He was also a horse whisperer, though it wasn't called that then. He had an amazing way with horses, they worshiped him. He was a coal miner in his teens and developed bad claustrophobia. In the tunnel scenes in The Great Escape he could only spend a few minutes in the tunnel before he freaked out. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I found this interesting in Wikipedia Bronson made a serious name for himself in European films. In 1968, he starred as Harmonica in Once Upon a Time in the West. The director, Sergio Leone, once called him "the greatest actor I ever worked with",[28] and had wanted to cast Bronson for the lead in 1964's A Fistful of Dollars. Bronson turned him down and the role launched Clint Eastwood to film stardom Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 188 Posts: 18631 | There's one movie that I've caught a few times, where Bronson kills nearly every punk in the neighborhood at the end of the film. There are a couple hundred at least. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Probably one of the Death Wish films He made a bunch 1st one was excellent and very realistic. After that it went downhill and comical with him taking on whole neighborhoods full of gangs Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Do see Death Wish 3 (Bronson and the old folks vs. the drug gang) ... It is HI-Larious. My favorite gag is the booby-trap by the second story window! |

I thought that would narrow the search for this movie about German soldier captured and recruited to spy (trying to pinpoint where a German Panzer tank division was going to be for the allies). Based on a true story. I still can't find it. There's a couple known but 2nd tier American actors in it, but can't remember any of their names.
