Interesting Bronson-Mitchum story. I believe Charlie was a supreme tough guy, but I do believe that guys, like Micthum, Leo Gorden, Woody Strode, Jack Palence, of his era could easily take him, but that is know knock on him, because these guys were the cream of the crop. its just like when Clint Eastwood backing down to Richard Burton, on the set of "WERE EAGLES DARE". I don't believe that diminishes Clint's tough guy persona, because Richard had a good tough guy rep. Can you tell us any of the tales of people scared of Bronson CHANEY?

I too feel like he shouldn't have had a face lift. His cragginess was the reason for his fame, but can understand, because know one really wants to get old.

I heard Tony Epper was a real tough guy, so that would have been an interesting encounter.

I remember thats one of the reasons, along with Walter's comment about Jill's acting, why Charlie never would work with him anymore.

very impressive bodies on Girolami. Man these steroid, and other supplements are pointless if you know how to train, and eat properly.

I believe he had second degree black belt in kenpo karate, but am not proof positive.

Probably given alot of the roles, that someone like "AL LETTERI" got. The roles of goons, that end up getting beat up in the end.

I liked Segal from1988-1997 when when he was really trim. He had a really unique fighing style that , made him stand out from the rest of the other action stars.

When did Bronson first learn boxing, as a exercise? I just believe he wouldn't have did it just as exercise, but competed.

I just read in another topic about this guy, and he seemed to be a guy that took no crap from people, and I just read that he was a champion boxer at "SAM QUENTAN" prison, so I guess he was the "Leo Gorden" of his day.
