Charles Bronson: The Cannon Years






Awesome tribute to my main man Charles Bronson which i found on good ol Youtube from the legends at Cannon Pictures via Golan-Globus...good memories of watching the Cannon- Bronson films with my Dad on TBS which seemed to really love Bronson and Chuck Norris and back in the day working at Andrew's and hauling ol VHS back to Tower...always had lots of Cannon product, especially that 2nd year where me and friends started pretty much a Bronson- Norris cult and watched one of their flicks every week...if not everyday... it leads me to wonder why the brain trust at Cannon never had Bronson and Norris team up for a flick...ever...i mean we did get Fireswalker with Norris and Lou Gossett Jr..but never Bronson and Norris...



But this urban legend persists...



Cannon's original plans for The Delta Force to be a Bronson/Norris team-up fell through? Norris stayed aboard, so I imagine it would've been on Bronson's end. I always wondered why cast Lee Marvin while you have Charles Bronson right there at Cannon...mind-boggling...

And Cannon did release twelve...yes count em..twelve movies with the word "American" in the title, including all entries in the far from critically acclaimed American Ninja series



Anyways folks..enjoy the Bronson!
