A montage of some of Charles Bronson's performances and films from his long, extensive career, that cemented his status as becoming known as 'The Tough Guy Of Cinema'.
Born Charles Buchinsky on November 3, 1921, he would later change his stage name to Charles Bronson. He made his film debut in 1951. With his hardened face and muscular physique, he would appear in sometimes minor roles and supporting parts. Bronson gradually became more noticed and soon began guest-starring on television shows and in some cases was cast in the lead in smaller films. It’s an incredibly long list of films, television and famed actors Bronson would appear alongside before he would find worldwide stardom.
In 1958 Bronson was cast in the lead role of the ABC television show Man With A Camera. Playing Mike Kovac, a former combat photographer who does freelance work and goes to great lengths to take photos that seem impossible to get. The series lasted two seasons.
In the 1960s Bronson became part of the ensemble casts in classic films, like The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape and The Dirty Dozen. He would focus working on films overseas and gradually became a popular star in European films, notably in Sergio Leone’s western classic Once Upon A Time In The West. Hollywood soon came calling for him and at the age of 52 Bronson would star in his signature role as architect turned vigilante Paul Kersey in 1974’s Death Wish.
From there with his tough guy persona strongly established, along with his signature mustache, he would become one of the most popular and bankable stars throughout the 1970s.
By the 1980s, aging, but not slowing down, he maintained his leading man status by appearing in films for the famed Cannon Group. The actual quality of his Cannon films could be argued, but fans embraced them for their schlocky entertainment with Bronson continuing to play a no nonsense man of action. He would also branch out with some dramatic television work in his later years.
Bronson’s final film would be the 1999 television movie Family of Cops III. He died on August 30, 2003.
Appearing in over fifty films, along with appearances in countless television shows, Bronson left a distinctive mark forever being known as - ‘The Tough Guy of Cinema’.

Wonderfully put together.
Why is he so fascinating to watch? Maybe because he is more than an actor. A true artist.
He was one of those kind of actors, when he walked in the room in the scene, you couldn't take your eyes off him. R.I.P Mister Bronson and thanks. And thanks to you Haphazard, really miss you.
You left out one of the best lines in the DW franchise: "Do you believe in Jesus? Well, you're gonna meet Him."
The greatest tribute to Il Bruto I’ve seen. Thank you for this. My favourite actor ❤
Thank you too!
This was the "TCM Remembers" reel that they should have used.
My favorite action star of all time. Nobody will ever be like him.
Just awesome!
Solid edit man! I just came over from your website. Keep up the good work.
Dont mess with Charles Bronson
This was beautiful. Thank you so much for this
The moment he grew a moustache, it was like Clark Kent discovered he's Superman
Best actor after yours truly Telly "Kojak" the king of cinema!!
Excellent tribute to my favorite actor; really well-done editing job. So many classic Bronson scenes presented together in such a compelling way. I wish more people gave Bronson the respect he so richly deserves. But I guess he's just too cool for today's clueless society.
Sergio Leone said that Bronson was the best actor to appear in one of his films. I guess this relates especially to Bronson's economy and expressiveness with body language and his overall presence. For an actor typecast as 'macho', Bronson was able to give empathic performances as well. Both of his characters in the John Sturges films are very sympathetic ('The Magnificent Seven', 'The Great Escape').
his last several Death Wish films were just fun, guilty-pleasure escapism that helped keep Cannon Films afloat.
I wish Bronson took his film career as seriously as Eastwood did. He should have founded his own production company and made his own films.
Great editing!!! Unfortunately this fantastic tribute made me realize how much of his filmography I havnt Seen yet.🤔😅
Some was from TV as well. There was a clip from the Twilight Zone episode, "Two" with Elizabeth Montgomery. He was also in an episode of the 50s TV series, The Millionaire. He was also in a non speaking part in the original version of the film, "House of Wax" with Vincent Price.
nice tribute im still finishing his filmography, but there is alot of aspects that dont age well like rape and mysogyny is his movies, regardless of that he is masculine, and you can see that in his films and a great action star as well
Buen video

I so missed your content, great analysis on Charlie Bron. 🌟
That's nice to hear Mike, thank you!
Had absolutely no range as an actor, but could carry a scene.
When Jill Ireland was asked why she made so many movies with him she replied " because nobody will work with him".
John this maybe off topic to this video but I got an idea for a future project in the remake recon series that I would recommend and that is the 1932 and 83 adaptations of the flim Scarface.
Jeroen has suggested those films as well. He's a big fan of the '83 version.
What film is at 2:01 where he has grey hair but still looks kind of young?
The Valachi Papers (1972)
@@HaphazardStuff thank you!
TBH I was never a fan of his. Apart from The Mechanic and Farewell, My Friend (the film he did with Alain Delon) I always found him bland. Sure he did Once Upon A Time In The West, but watching that film I am
thankful he turned down A Fistful of Dollars, thus paving the way for Eastwood.
I semi-agree with you. Eastwood had a gift for sly humour in those Leone films. It's one of the aspects that Eastwood really brought out in those three films. Bronson was a different kind of actor who appeared to prefer more minimalist performances. I think Bronson is better suited to 'Once Upon A Time In The West' and Eastwood to the Man With No Name trilogy.
I couldn't disagree. Sure, he was very much auto pilot during the 1980's and I wish he took his film career as seriously as Eastwood did. However, he was a an immense screen presence and he knew it. He said so little and with one stare, he lit up the screen. Like Eastwood, he was understated, masculine, and romantic. Today's action heroes are uncharismatic stuntmen. Bronson, Marvin, Mitchum, Eastwood, all tops.
