Who do you think would win in a straight out fist fight between these too?

bronson looking down at a floored eastwood,only kidding it's a scene from walter hill's hard times from 1975.
i think it would be a hard one to call,i'd imagine both packed good punch and they both kept themselves in very good physical condition.
i wouldn't like to call it!

Versus bond villain nick nack as the main bad guy!

In western films both Eastwood and Bronson usually have lots of wit, they hit hard and are quick on the trigger so i think that it would be a tie.
If Dirty Harry would meet Paul Kersey, now that would be interesting. I think that they would punch only once or twice and very soon have somekind of gun in their hands.
In real life, the fight could be a very long one or just 5 seconds. Either way, they would eventually call it a tie and find the nearest bar

Young warrior, I like your version of The Expendables! I'm not sure who would win Bronson Vs Eastwood. My friend's son lives in the store that Bronson's family owned when he was a kid. He came in to eat at the restaurant I worked at many years ago, with his wife. He was in town to attend his Mother's funeral. I didn't see him as I was not working that day.

Charles Buchinski a/k/a Charles Bronson was born in Ehrenfeld, Pennsylvania, about 20 miles from my own birthplace. He was very close friends with the sheriff of the county so he used to stop by for visits and eat at this little Mom-and-Pop place in a small strip mall. I never got to meet him, but I understand that he was about the nicest guy you'd ever meet. (His wife, Jill Ireland, was reportedly super nice too.) He used to sit and talk to the locals, pose for pictures, sign autographs... Some Hollywood stars today could take a lesson!
While on the subject of personable celebrities, a friend of mine's niece was once married to Matt LeBlanc from Friends. My pal used to tell me stories about how LeBlanc would come to Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, to visit and just be beloved by the town because he was a truly humble star. He once told my friend, "Hundreds of guys are better than I am. I just got lucky." Class act.

Just caught this the new uk tv ad for the British loaf of bread - warburtons featuring Sylvester Stallone in a rocky/expendables style spoof!
Never thought I'd see Stallone reduced to bread commercials,saying that it's great see him sending himself up and basically not giving a damn.
Plus i'd imagine he didn't get paid breadcrumbs for starring in it!
On another note Does anyone know if Stallone has scrapped the idea of doing another Rambo which was rumored to be titled - Rambo last blood as its dissapeared of his IMDb filmography listing?

Bronson definitely was a legend,I'd say he always been my favorite tough guy actor!

Another really cool down to earth actor and who seems like a generally really nice guy - tom Atkins I'm sure is from your neck of the woods crash & Pittsburgh girl.
I'd love to meet him!

Tommy Atkins is a beloved Pittsburgh actor. Despite his busy schedule--does this guy have credits or what?--he was actively involved in local theatre and did a one-man show, The Chief, playing Art Rooney, the late owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers football team.

Tom Atkins has had quite the career. He stands out in my mind from Striking Distance, filmed in Pittsburgh.
Posted by Crash (Member # 7484) on :
I don't understand the bad rap that Striking Distance always gets. It's very entertaining and showcases the beauty of the city pretty well. Plus, it has such a cool cast: Bruce Willis, Sarah Jessica Parker, Tom Atkins, John Mahoney, Andre Braugher, Tom Sizemore, Brion James, Timothy Busfield, Dennis Farina, and Robert Pastorelli. It's a veritable hall of fame of great character actors.
