I'll remember him as Paul Kersey, I think it was great he was in his 70s I think and still kickin ass in Death Wish 5.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 08-31-2003 11:05 PM                       Oh, man! Another icon passes into history. I'm sorry to hear this news. I will always remember him in "Once Upon a Time in the West" -- and "The Magnificent Seven" (of course)!  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

He was billed as Charles Bochinski. Hope I spelled that right. Great in DIRTY DOZEN, MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, GREAT ESCAPE and of course the first two DEATH WISH films. We toast you Charlie. You were a damn good actor.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Bronson was one of my favorite action tough guy actors. Other than the first Death Wish I liked him in Death Hunt and Telefon. Charles Bronson passes away quote: Wasn't he also in ANY WHICH WAY YOU CAN? Had the punching match with Clint Eastwood. No that was an actor named William Smith.  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 09-01-2003 09:37 AM                     I first saw Mr. Bronson in "Master Of The World" in 1961. Fun little film. I'll miss him.  |  IP: Logged Tony Ratcliff Expert Film Handler Posts: 216 From: Madison, IN, USA Registered: Mar 2002 posted 09-01-2003 12:47 PM                     Let us not forget one of my favorites: The Mechanic.

Allen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1078 From: Checotah, Oklahoma Registered: Jul 2002 posted 09-01-2003 01:27 PM                     Charles will indeed be missed and is one of the last of Hollywoods "personality" actors. That is, Charles was always Charles no matter what character he was playing just as John Wayne was always John wayne and Jimmy Stewart was always Jimmy Stewart. While I grew up in that era and will always love those actors, today's crop of thespians are very good and capable of losing themselves in their character. RIP Chuck.  |  IP: Logged Per Hauberg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 883 From: Malling, Denmark Registered: Jul 2000 posted 09-01-2003 07:18 PM                        Mr Bronson will sure be missed. Noone so far mentioned his teaming up with the great Toshiro Mifune in "Red Sun" - Not bad either ! p.  |  IP: Logged
