In The Dirty Dozen, he tells Lee Marvin as they masquerade as Germans, “This isn’t like any German I ever heard.”

I don’t remember that scene, I will watch it again. I do recall James Gardner saying, “There is an airplane I think I can start.” (without a battery truck.)

IIRC, Marvin and Bronson got all the way inside the chateau without uttering a word, not even when they spilled ink all over the register. That was a neat trick!

In The Great Escape, the scene with the Russians is right at the beginning; the one with the plane is much later, when they’re on the road. The plane was, I believe, a Bf108, a very simple trainer that (apparently) needed only to be hand-cranked.

(Bf108s were also used in Von Ryan’s Express, when the train was being strafed as it entered the mountains.)

I saw David Janssen beat the shit out of Charles Bronsen.
They were throwing chairs at each other.

Ive always thought From Noon til Three was under-rated. Good story line.
I saw The Evil Men Do when I was a kid. This scene left a big impression on my young self: Charles Bronson - The Evil That Men Do - YouTube

according to roger corman in his autobiography Bronson was in a movie of his and even though it wasn’t an action movie he found out he was actually physically tough

roger used to exercise between takes with shadowboxing and Bronson seen him one day and gave him a few tips and roger proposed a little spar … well chuck only got one hit in because he unintentionally almost floored roger … come to find out Bronson learned to bareknuckle box in the Appalachian coal mines where we worked as a kid/teen and did it pretty successful to make extra money …

You might enjoy Hard Times, starring Bronson as a bare knuckle boxer. Much better than it sounds.
