The Charles Bronson Thread

I agree, was just pulling your leg.

I really like the simplicity of it. I also like the 1-sheet for the first film which was also rejected for the UK, bizarrely replaced by a publicity image from the third film!

I love the artwork for the first film. Bronson on the steps with a gun. It's a great poster.

One of my all-time faves.

More artwork for the second film:

I really like the 3rd one 'Bronson's lose again!' Brilliant.

I'm pretty sure that was the same image used for the Greek rental VHS - my mate had it in the early 90s and that was our first experience seeing the film uncut. I must say, I'm not easily shocked but the uncut version of the second film really pulls no punches. The attacks on the housekeeper and daughter are quite an ordeal to watch.

I've never seen the uncut version, only the heavily butchered version that sometimes gets shown on channel 5. I'll have to watch the uncut version just to see how bad it is.

I watched 2 again a few months ago. It's been a few years but I must admit, I was surprised how disturbing that rape ordeal still feels. For some reason I thought I might be a bit more desensitised toward it by now.

The covers for the upcoming 4 and 5.



Even Death Wish 5 had better posters than that dvd cover (and that's saying something!)
