Charlie gave one of the best performances ever in this movie! I can understand why Sergio Leone wanted Bronson first, before Eastwood in the spaghetti Westerns. This is the first movie, that you can see of, that shows the persona of Charlie, that you would see for pretty much the rest of his career. Does anyone know the relationship of Fonda, and Charlie on the set.

Yeah, this movie does seem to mark an end of an era, because he didn't take his shirt off much at all in the eighties, and Charlie probably knew that he wasn't as lean, as past decades.

I've heard some funny stories on the set of "The Dirty Dozen", mostly from people saying that all the cast, and crew was scared of him, and wanting to kill Lee Marvin for showing up drunk on the set, all the time.

That was a incredible picture of Charlie. I believe he was in great shape, even in his mothers womb!

Cool! Thanks Chaney, I heard that Robert gave an interview, but didn't know the magazine's name. Chaney, was wondering if you have anymore behind the scenes stories about this movie, because this is my favorite movie of Bronson, and you seem to really know you're history about Bronson's career. Thanks man!

I have read a few stories on this topic, and wondering what the rift was between them.

Thanks Chaney! You have offered lots of great insight to us here, because I have never known too much about Bronson, other than he didn't talk much, so thanks, and look forward to more in depth discussions with you!

You are Right crego, he turned sixty a year later, so that made it harder to stay lean, so his weight kind of yo-yo'd throughout the eighties, but he did look real lean in "The Evil That Men Do", 'Murphy's Law", Death wish 4", and Death Hunt". Age is a bitch, but Charlie fought it better than anybody I ever knew.

I felt, the early 60's. The magnificent seven, and the great escape, because if you look at his build, he is probably the biggest he's ever been, and very cut too, so if you can be that built, and ripped, then you are a sight too be hold!

Man crego, I think the administer has found the man, that can run the gallery section on the site, because you have a endless supply of pictures of Bronson!

Crego, I remember hearing conflicting reports about Robert Tessier(the big bald guy) breaking Charlie's ribs, or vice versa, during one of the fight scenes. I wonder if you can shed some light on this?

This movie, along with hard times is Bronson's best film, because of his unique presence. I have always felt that his best work, was when he didn't say much, and just let the camera do all the work. Does anyone know how Bronson, and Jan Michael Vincent got along.
