When Charles Bronson was offered the role in Death Wish he asked the director what the film was about. The director told him it's about a man whose wife and daughter are attacked by thugs, the wife dies from the attack and the daughter is traumatized and he goes out and shoots muggers. Bronson responded, "I'd like to do that". "The film?" The director asked. "No", Bronson responded, "shoot muggers".
@@johnhoblock5872 Probably not true, but Charles was a decorated WWII vet. My Dad fought in the South Pacific at 17. Pop loved Charles Bronson. I did as well.
@@alanratay4583 The only source we have on it, as I understand it, is the filmmaker, Michael Winner, who said he had that conversation with Charles Bronson following the completion of another movie. It comes up in a lot of different trivia and other sources, so I'd wager it sounds like something Mr. Bronson would have said. I remember the crime rates in cities like NYC during the 70's. I can imagine him saying that, and the movie resonating with theater goers, big time.
Remember seeing this as a kid. It stuck with me. Triple features. Back then, theaters didn't make a big fuss on kids watching R rated movies. Well, in my neighborhood 😅
Unfortunately, we now have Soro's elected prosecutors/officers of the Court who want to "rebalance the laws of justice because of past prejudice against the grandfathers and great grandfathers of our present people of color." I'm not saying those people were not damaged. But I don't know how it is possible to rebalance for the bad acts of people in the past. By excusing black criminals now, you ALSO damage other people of color who are in that same community. That's the one issue that Soro's doesn't consider. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
@@kawikadee9670 For sure... But in Democrat cities cops are failing at providing safety. I know it's idiot Democrat politicians who create such a place for the failing policing, but it's the voters who vote for this nonsense.

@@yell0wberry those bullets were not extra. He needed to ensure they could not pull up a gun or something. It happened before that eventhough the criminals or lying on the floor they pull up guns.
Keeping us safe and saving taxpayers dollars! That is a win-win! Maybe not many know, but Charles Bronson grew up in abject poverty Pennsylvania, served as a B-29 gunner in WWII and was seriously wounded, then went on to have a brilliant Hollywood career! A true American hero!! RIP!!!
@@josephb4235if you read up on what Charles Bronson dud before he became an actor, he probably could clean up a crime ridden city. He was a bad ass in WWII.
When I saw this in the 70s, I thought this is fiction or at least that is only happening in the usa, but will never happen in my home country in the heart of Europe. Nowadays we have this riff raff here, too.
Don't know where in Europe you're from, but the 70'ies was a lot worse. It was better 15 years ago but it is still a lot better than the 70'ies and 80'ies.
@@flemminghansen6500 In the "heart", so you may guess Germany, Swiss or Austria. 😉 At least serious crimes done by foreigners (murder, raping ...) were near to zero. That has changed totally in the last 9 years.
@@99somerville Different view perspective; he walks a few steps towards the fellow with the hat, then turns and shoots the first guy on the floor. He then exits the nearest door, which is further away from the grocery bag.
That’s what made the franchise so terrible, the first two movies were close to excellent, once they got to three through five, it became an absolute joke
1st 2 were great. Lower key with some escalation. 3 was with the gang taking over the neighbourhood, although shooting the Giggler was funny. But blasting away with a Browning? Getting a bit OTT.
This was the 70’s: 1. There’s no fingerprint database to search through 2. For a match, he would have needed to be arrested before this incident since they never really fingerprinted you for anything. 3. The end of the movie was NYPD basically asked him to leave NYC, since jail, trial, and prison sentence is based on the idea he killed multiple individuals with very deep police and prison records that the public basically declared him a hero providing a very needed public service causing the top officials to believe they were handling a political bomb that was very dangerous to their careers.
It was his only true tactical error. He was cruising the subway with the groceries to look like a harmless commuter. But he bought the groceries at his neighborhood store, instead of a more distant one. This gave Det Ochoa the first solid lead.
It's 2024 and while I loathe violence, the Democrat party has unleashed it on us and we need defenders. If it's another Bronson character like this, so be it.
Fun fact: there were over 1000 murders in NYC every year from 1969-1995, peaking at 2245 in 1991. In 2023 there were 386, similar to the numbers in the 1950’s.
When informed of the assasination attempt, Obama said - Dammit Hillary, you chose this time to fail? Biden said "Dammit Kamala, I gave you one job.... I mean...Cornpop...Oil cancer...anyhow..."
That’s kind of effed up that the cops aggressively pursue a vigilante as opposed to them pursuing an actual mugger. I guess you millennials and Gen Zers didn’t understand how truly frightening it was to ride in the subway back in the day.
