THE MECHANIC - Charles Bronson Visits A Girl

[TheGreaterGood80]

"Next time........be a librarian"

[ChronicFallacy]

Ugh.....1970's Oscar the Grouch carpeting, no thanks

[Bugstomper2]

Money talks and bullshit walks!

[whiskeyify]

He has no relationships, a girlfriend etc. He has to keep his life a secret from everyone. And he travels a lot...a hit man will watch you for days before killing you.

they want to see where you go and what you do..so then they can plan the perfect hit.

[KungFuRascals3]

This is one of those "sacrifices" he had to make for his chosen profession. The first time I saw this, by the end of the scene I was thinking "What the fuck!?!?".

[Lonette]

No other movie star except Charles Baby could have wanted the role, much less played it. This particular scene was considered too weird, strange and whacky by all the McQueen/Brando/ Eastwood/Mitchum types. Perhaps Lee Marvin or Charles Coburn could've tried pulling it off, but only Bronson was THE star born to act and do it successfully in one of the most underrated action thriller films of the 70's. I hear they're doing a remake. What a colossal mistake. If it works, why try fixing it?

[dandiacal]

Do you mean JAMES Coburn?

[Lonette]

@dandiacal

[Lonette]

Yes, JAMES is who I meant. Dunno where the Charles came from. Thanks!

[dalmain77]

I agree very overlooked movie. I first saw this as a kid and it's one of my favorites. CB is one of my favorite all time actors.

[JAZZSTARish]

@dalmain77 True that I was young when I saw this glued to the t.v. I remember this gal slit her wrists and is lying on the bed.

[fabinharaujo]

all Bronson can say to Jill is to do better next time!!! LOL AWESOME. we know what he meant.

O and Jill should have kept that hairstyle instead of the brady bunch one she sported in DWII

[KungFuRascals3]

@fabinharaujo Actually, he said try and think of something like it for next time (the letter she "wrote to him".). I just hope for his sake that he did see her before his trip to Italy :-).

[frankd1965]

the woman is Jill Ireland, Mrs. Charles Bronson

[richieroller67]

He's not sad , he's one BADDD ASSSS MOTHERFUCKER !!!! He's not wit all that mushie bullshit . . . That makes him sooo cool !!! I like that . . .

[zenarcade64]

Really this scene is about showing how sad he and his life is.

[floresed]

Bronson = Forever Stud!!

[clintbronson5]

Can I come in??? His voice is sooooo cool!

I SAID MAYBE ANOTHER TIME!-YES-HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR LIVER? MEDIUM? MEDIUM I'LL MAKE IT MEDIUM

[dukeofkbs]

"The letter was good...try to think of something like it for next time..." Everything CB says is cool.

[UberKrispy]

No shit...he was just a plain cool mofo

[dukeofkbs]

[dukeofkbs]

Great film score by Jerry Fielding

[Lonette]

A very lonely man in his private world. BRONSON ROCKS.

[MoldenGilgen]

This is a fantastic film. The psychology of Bronson's character is stunning, but I'm sure most people miss that--as an action film alone it's good enough.

[eringoebra]

cool.

[biribikan]

I love jill ireland. How could her marry such a canastra?

[suzabelle162]

what's a canastra? a basketcase?

[dukeofkbs]

Pretty much...
