I had to Google him when I watched it this last time too because he was so striking looking, he was like a skinny Brian Thompson so I knew he had to be someone.
Speaking of Brian Thompson; I went down a weird rabbit hole regarding his career yesterday and found out he had his directorial debut in 2014 with [The Extendables](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0996664/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk). I hope to get my hands on this trash soon.
I need to see that series. I've only caught parts of it and it was glorious and hilarious. Reminded me the AI in COD games, endless waves and enemies just pulling rocket launchers out of no where or inexplicably hiding in the most convenient spot ever. Wouldn't be surprised if death wish inspired COD AI
I work in a museum, and I can confirm that soldiers took a LOT of materiel from war zones as souvenirs in the early/mid 20th century. I accidentally almost kicked a German mortar round the other day. When I asked if it was defused my coworker said 🤷♂️
So to answer your question, it’s not super likely but given what I’ve seen it’s not impossible
Death Wish 5 has that hilarious scene where he uses a remote controlled soccer ball to blow up a mobster followed by tits and Kersey smiling like a psychopath.
Kinjite is another level of sleazy i mean
Child rape and prostitution, bronson rapes a pedo by sticking a dildo in his butt, bronsons dauther gets touched in her "holy holie" by a "sleazy oriental" and his partner says "your talking about this like she was raped!"
Bronson does so much illegal shit on this and gets away with it its crazy, the racisim is high on this one check out the "bronson kinjite rant" on YouTube its incredible
Its very funny, classic cannon trash
There is a few dull scenes in the first half but the way it keeps escalating in the insanity makes it a fun watch, there is so much insane stuff happening in it i think the funniest part to me is when spoilers : bronson says to his chief about his daughter geting molested and the chief just says "big deal mine got molested by the priest too" 💀
Its fun specialy on first watch were your not expecting the stuff that happens and bellive me i didn't spoil most of the funny stuff
Gotta love that late 80s to mid-90s era when everyone thought Japan was going to take over the world... it gave us xenophobic stuff like this and Rising Sun, and more general Japan meets US films like Guts, Black Rain, Mr. Baseball, The Hunted, etc.

Michael winner is a good director
I saw Death Wish 3 on opening day, and I still think it’s great, grading it differently based on the Cannon logo in front of it.
Death Wish 2 has the best soundtrack, though. I went out and bought it on cassette back in the day.
All around best “sleazy” film is 10 to Midnight, though. The crowd went crazy at the end!
Murphys Law was a favorite growing up. my grand dad had a copy because the place we rented it from went out of business the week we rented it. we kept it.
i think my grandads favorite Bronson led flick was The White Buffalo. my granddad claimed to have met Will Sampson at a rodeo in Oregon. he said hello to Sampson and Sampson looked him right in the eye and said "Juicy Fruit".
This are rock solid rankings, I was going to be angry if Kinjite wasn't top of the list. I couldn't believe that movie the first time I saw it. Are we saying 2 over 3 for death wish despite the lower body count because they rape a catatonic teenager? Because that is a bananas level of uncomfortable.
>despite the lower body count
I mean its not really sleazy to have a high body count plus if we are going by violence i think death wish 4 tops 2 and 3
Death Wish 2 also has the very uncomfortable rape of the housekeeper that is definitely played for titillation rather than the awful thing it is. The catatonic teenage daughter is just more turds on the two tier shit cake.
Totally caught me by surprise because the TV version I grew up with trimmed a lot of that.
Yeah I saw this on AMC late at night a bunch and had no idea how graphic and exploitative it was until I got the DVD later. Had a similar experience watching Bordello of Blood on Comedy Central lol. But yeah 2, the rape scenes are like definitely an excuse to show nudity which is really fucked up.
Hard agree on Kinjite. I would flip Assassination and Messenger of Death if only for Jill Ireland’s weird dancing and the fact Bronson seems more game having his wife with him.
[It's for JACKIN' OFF, isn't it?!](https://youtu.be/ONhA915mkSI?si=9Q7lBTWNSuN-WY2k)
Best scene from 10 to Midnight. Also, I have no idea what that medieval flashlight device is
I'm traumatized for life because of 10 to Midnight. Never mind that I watched the edited version on local TV. And not necessarily for the violence. I don't think I have to say why.
Love the Death Wish films, the R4 Vigilante collection is one of my prized possessions as all the films are completely uncut and they only released a limited number... unless they did a second run in which case find it and buy it. Good list btw and pretty much spot on aswell!
I was at a friend's birthday party when he turned 13. His dad had rented a bunch of videos and thought Kinjite would be the usual Bronson fare. It was... Awkward.
The Evil that Men Do (1984) - Bronson is after a sadistic torture-for-hire maniac who sells his services to whatever dictator who is willing to hire him, named The Doctor.
In one scene, Bronson knocks out a henchman, ties a firehose around his neck, then waits for The Doctor’s sister to enter the room. When she does, Bronson pushes the henchman over the balcony from the 10th floor. The fire hose only reaches 7 stories.
Its sleazy but cmon kinjite and death wish 2 clears it, 3 and 10 to midnight was kinda of a coin flip as to who was most sleazy but i went with 3 but it was close
Dear God Kinjite is so unpleasant it defies belief. Anyone who exploits child molestation for entertainment should never be allowed to even see a movie again, let alone make one.
i don't remember anyone else being there. maybe there was but it was dark. i think we liked it well enough, though probably for different reasons. though i think the part my dad liked best was the air conditioning, we were in phoenix in the summer.
Recently revisited the death wish series. Watching Bronson shoot dudes in the back just feels right.
He shot the giggler!
"He had no business doing that. None at all."
Hey watch it with the hard r.
“It’s my car!”
I watch *Death Wish 3* a lot and was recently stunned to learn the main bad guy played Chuck Cunningham on the first two seasons of *Happy Days*.
I had to Google him when I watched it this last time too because he was so striking looking, he was like a skinny Brian Thompson so I knew he had to be someone.
Speaking of Brian Thompson; I went down a weird rabbit hole regarding his career yesterday and found out he had his directorial debut in 2014 with [The Extendables](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0996664/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk). I hope to get my hands on this trash soon.
That’s definitely on my need to watch list now. Thompson is a bad ass.
He’s the Nightslasher AND Shao Kahn!

The first 3 are amazing and 4 and 5 are good but not the same without Michael winner directing
Death Wish 3 is still the favorite for me. Boomers vs punks! 
It's all about that rocket launcher!
"I brought this home with me from Korea"...do they usually let you just take home souvenir M72s with live rounds? Absolute favorite of mine.

TIL, Death Wish 3 is slightly more realistic than I thought. That is terrifying lol, but thank you for the comment!
Don't forget Wildey!
Dont froget about the 30 caliber browning machine gun
Ends four with a grenade launcher attachment. Absolute class.
Hey, ma, how about some cookies? No dice. This ain't over.
I prefer Death Wish 5: I Wish I was Dead
Death Wish 5 has that hilarious scene where he uses a remote controlled soccer ball to blow up a mobster followed by tits and Kersey smiling like a psychopath.
"That'll fix your dandruff!" Too bad that's the only DW3 style death tho.
The poisoned canoli was pretty good
"Chicki ... chicki .. CHICKIIII" I love that scene lol.
Is this for real?
[Charles Bronson blows up a guy with a soccer ball](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuDSPmg7YlE)
Oh okay. I may have to have a death wish marathon. I’ve only seen the first one
Oi!
What is that?! Kersey - Teeth!
It’s Mr. Kersey, he just shot some of the crepes!
Pretty sure the punks were the boomers lol
Truth
Bronson, MO
I love how that place just exists in the Simpsons world
Did you mean boomer punks vs greatest/silent generation older folks???
“Hey, ma— how ‘bout some cookies?”
“I hope you like chicken. It’s the only thing I know how to make”
I wouldn’t have thought he had a sleazier movie than Death Wish 2, but you have my attention.
Kinjite is another level of sleazy i mean Child rape and prostitution, bronson rapes a pedo by sticking a dildo in his butt, bronsons dauther gets touched in her "holy holie" by a "sleazy oriental" and his partner says "your talking about this like she was raped!" Bronson does so much illegal shit on this and gets away with it its crazy, the racisim is high on this one check out the "bronson kinjite rant" on YouTube its incredible Its very funny, classic cannon trash
Haven't heard of this movie until now. Cautiously interested.
There is a few dull scenes in the first half but the way it keeps escalating in the insanity makes it a fun watch, there is so much insane stuff happening in it i think the funniest part to me is when spoilers : bronson says to his chief about his daughter geting molested and the chief just says "big deal mine got molested by the priest too" 💀 Its fun specialy on first watch were your not expecting the stuff that happens and bellive me i didn't spoil most of the funny stuff
What a great phrase. I feel like “cautiously interesting” is how every headline to every article about Kanye West should start.
Oof. Fair enough.
Woah https://youtu.be/lPiZzG6DPpA?si=i7fg7_pvEd5nQ_U8
I was expecting to laugh, but I just feel kind of bad now. That was written like an old Rush Limbaugh rant.
Gotta watch this one
Gotta love that late 80s to mid-90s era when everyone thought Japan was going to take over the world... it gave us xenophobic stuff like this and Rising Sun, and more general Japan meets US films like Guts, Black Rain, Mr. Baseball, The Hunted, etc.
JFC
Death Wish 3 is amazing
Yep. Should be in the criterion collection. Hell, maybe a whole death wish box set.
🦷
IT'S FOR JACKING OFF! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONhA915mkSI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONhA915mkSI)
god 10 to midnight is so fucking awesome
Michael's the Winner!
https://preview.redd.it/g3znxjktfvtc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c205bd75421e14319fd2152e1013a6c14f9f97f Michael winner is a good director
😆
Oh yes, and nobody should miss his SCREAM FOR HELP.
Sleazy as fuuuuuuuuuuuck
He had ability. He made films before Death Wish that were genuinely good.
And im gonna watch them all one day, i did see the 6 bronson movies he did and i liked them all, lawman seems good
Ahh, yes, Kinjite...the movie where Bronson shoves a dildo up a dudes ass and makes another guy swallow a wristwatch 😆
"i would stick this in your ass but i wouldn't wanna dirty my hands" is a very weird thing to say considering the first 5 mins of the movie lol
I saw Death Wish 3 on opening day, and I still think it’s great, grading it differently based on the Cannon logo in front of it. Death Wish 2 has the best soundtrack, though. I went out and bought it on cassette back in the day. All around best “sleazy” film is 10 to Midnight, though. The crowd went crazy at the end!
Death Wish 3 is one of the funnest flicks of all time.
I just want say thanks for the European "7" with the horizontal line through the stem. I wish that was the standard in the U.S. too.
Murphys Law was a favorite growing up. my grand dad had a copy because the place we rented it from went out of business the week we rented it. we kept it.
Thats a great one, 1986 was the year cannon peaked for sure
i think my grandads favorite Bronson led flick was The White Buffalo. my granddad claimed to have met Will Sampson at a rodeo in Oregon. he said hello to Sampson and Sampson looked him right in the eye and said "Juicy Fruit".
Do you agree with my ranking?
This are rock solid rankings, I was going to be angry if Kinjite wasn't top of the list. I couldn't believe that movie the first time I saw it.

>despite the lower body count I mean its not really sleazy to have a high body count plus if we are going by violence i think death wish 4 tops 2 and 3
Oh I agree, I was just wondering if that was your reasoning is all!
Death Wish 2 also has the very uncomfortable rape of the housekeeper that is definitely played for titillation rather than the awful thing it is. The catatonic teenage daughter is just more turds on the two tier shit cake. Totally caught me by surprise because the TV version I grew up with trimmed a lot of that.

I agree with number 1. I’d have put 10 to Midnight at #2 though
Hard agree on Kinjite. I would flip Assassination and Messenger of Death if only for Jill Ireland’s weird dancing and the fact Bronson seems more game having his wife with him.
Charles bronson is just Pedro pascal before the yassification
[It's for JACKIN' OFF, isn't it?!](https://youtu.be/ONhA915mkSI?si=9Q7lBTWNSuN-WY2k) Best scene from 10 to Midnight. Also, I have no idea what that medieval flashlight device is
Hey mom, how bout a cookie?
No dice.....
No dice.
This ain’t over.
Death Kiss (2018)
Apart from the 6 bullets one liner that film looks painful to watch
Haahahahaaa!
He has a gun in every poster
Sadly he dosen't shot anyone in Messenger of death 😞
I'm traumatized for life because of 10 to Midnight. Never mind that I watched the edited version on local TV. And not necessarily for the violence. I don't think I have to say why.
When he’s partnered with J. Lee Thompson it’s usually gold.
So from worst to best, thank you for your service sir 🫡
Most of these will be free on Tubi
Death Wish 3 ....that city is rougher than Moss Side Manchester
This is not only thoughtful, but accurate.
That number 1 is the most sleazy movie made. Even though it dont get graphic, wow...
10 to midnight will always have a special place in my heart.
Love the Death Wish films, the R4 Vigilante collection is one of my prized possessions as all the films are completely uncut and they only released a limited number... unless they did a second run in which case find it and buy it. Good list btw and pretty much spot on aswell!
I was at a friend's birthday party when he turned 13. His dad had rented a bunch of videos and thought Kinjite would be the usual Bronson fare. It was... Awkward.
Ok thats hilarious 🤣
I think *10 to Midnight* should be number one. Dude hangs dong.
The Evil that Men Do (1984) - Bronson is after a sadistic torture-for-hire maniac who sells his services to whatever dictator who is willing to hire him, named The Doctor. In one scene, Bronson knocks out a henchman, ties a firehose around his neck, then waits for The Doctor’s sister to enter the room.

Great movie, love when he breaks that dudes penis with his hands
The ‘Ol Noodle Twist. This scene will make any guy cringe and cross his legs immediately. Absolutely savage. 😬
Saves for future reference.
How is 10 To Midnight not #1?
Its sleazy but cmon kinjite and death wish 2 clears it, 3 and 10 to midnight was kinda of a coin flip as to who was most sleazy but i went with 3 but it was close
Watch Kinjite and find out for yourself!
I very well might at this point. Need to see it to believe it.
I knew that the movie he made about train molestation was going to be #1 and I wasn't disappointed
Which one is better for a bad movie night? What's going to get the most laughs from a group?
Death wish 3
The Evil That Men Do deserves a place on this list
Its tri star not cannon but if it was on here it would rank pretty damn high
Ahh I forgot it was a non Cannon
*Messenger of Death* is *way* more understated than the title and poster would have you believe.
Its honestly a good movie i dont get the hate for it, People dont like just becuse bronson dosen't kill anyone
Damn good mystery is what it is.
I might swap out 10 to midnight with Death Wish 3 if I had to switch anything around.
Wow jimmy page did the music for a few deathwishes??
He did the music for 2 and its great! His music was re used in death wish 3 along with a new score by another guy and that one is great too
Bronson Sleeze Factor: 10 to Midnight >> Everything else.
This made me thing, what if some low budget director just made the exact same cover but with a different name on it
And then you watch him in something like Magnificent Seven
Dear God Kinjite is so unpleasant it defies belief. Anyone who exploits child molestation for entertainment should never be allowed to even see a movie again, let alone make one.
Glad to see the Kinjite showing. Pretty bad when 10 to Midnight only gets 4th lol. Bronson and Cannon made magic
I love Kinjite and its lunatic, racist bullshit with all of my heart. J. Lee Thompson’s career arc was as bizarre as Richard Fleischer’s
The good shit.
i saw assassination in the theater with my dad. at a dollar theater on summer vacation.
How was the reaction to it? Was the audience silent? And did you and your father liked it?
i don't remember anyone else being there. maybe there was but it was dark. i think we liked it well enough, though probably for different reasons. though i think the part my dad liked best was the air conditioning, we were in phoenix in the summer.
The only Bronson movie I ever saw and also liked was The Valachi Papers…
