Product Description

THE CALL HIM 'THE MECHANIC'. HE HAS 100 WAYS TO KILL… AND THEY ALL WORK!

Arthur Bishop (Charles Bronson, Death Wish) is a mob hit man who operates in an uncompromising world where conventional rules of morality don't apply and one wrong move could cost him his life! He's always worked alone; but, as age catches up with him, Bishop takes on a competent and ruthless apprentice (Jan Michael Vincent, Big Wednesday) and teaches him everything he knows. Together they become an unmatchable team of globetrotting killers ... until the pupil's ruthlessness puts him on a collision course with his teacher!

5.0 out of 5 stars A CUT ABOVE!
Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2024

As far as spy and espionage films go 'The Mechanic' is one of the best. Not only for those Charles Bronson aficionados (like myself), but for lovers of well-made action films. Michael Winner's clever direction adds a sparkle to the genre. He sets up interesting insights into an assassin's mode of work.

A cut above Death Wish (1974- Bronson's best known film), in both content and script, Bronson's performance is the epitome of cool. He's perfect at playing a character that has been totally detached from the outside world, and a man trapped in a world he can only have created. In the same way that Steve McQueen used his laconic presence to great effect, Winner makes full use of Bronson's craggy features.

QUOTE: Bishop: "Murder is killing without a license. Everybody kills."

Wow. This is a quick moving, terse study of two men. One uses death as a means of survival, making his bread and butter by putting bodies in the gutter. His name is Charles Bronson. The other is a surf-boy psycho with a penchant for torture and morbid voyeurism. He is Jan Michael Vincent.

Bronson works for the mob, fixing the clinks and clanks in the organization's outfit. One day, Jan Michael catches on to Bronson's endeavors and entreats him to learn more. What ensues is a quasi-father/son relationship where they master the finer points of popping someone in the dome or blowing them up, instead of learning to bait a hook or throw a curveball. Then, our young apprentice develops his own ideas, as does the mob Charles works for...

Bronson is on point with his rock face and straight-to-the-point-manly-man dialogue. Jan is perfect as the inquisitive scamp wanting to learn the ins and outs of killing folks for a living (and enjoying it all the way). It has some surreal/absurd scenes, such as the dirty, hippy party and another where Bronson and Jan watch Jan's girl hemorrhage slowly after she dices her own wrists. The intrigue builds and leads you to a path where you think you might have an idea how it will all end. But this is Charlie Bronson, one of the toughest tough guys to ever get...tough. And he will get you. There is no escape. It is useless. All is futile. He won't repair your transmission but he'll fix you so that even your moms won't recognize you at your funeral....Bang. Game OVER!

Buy it. BUY IT. Then, watch it before some retard in Hollywood gets the idea to make a sub-par remake with Freddie Prinze Junior, Usher, Orlando Bloom, Fitty Centsless or some other nitwit...God, I hope Vin Diesel falls into a ravine full of perturbed, crotch-biting badgers...Long live Bronson.

This is a movie that i always think of for it's use of what is not said rather than the other way around.
A glance or facial expression merit more than words.
Charles Bronson is in brilliant form,he assumes his part and lives it with an ease that can only be seen in the best actors.
Jan Michael-Vincent was an inspired choice as the rookie and eventual rival to Bronson's throne.
It is so sad to see how Jan Michael's career and his private life came off the rails so spectacularly within the Hollywood bubble(which for him was the problem as the booze and drugs were too easy to find.).
He had the looks,but their was a great deal of talent and ease about his manner when acting,he was indeed a sad loss to serious acting,he can still be seen in B movies,but honestly dont bother it is very unsettling.
One problem that will always haunt Charles Bronson and comes screaming to the front of their memories will be the Death Wish series which is even for a fan like myself drivel barring the first movie,it has to be hurdled before people are willing to give such fine pieces of Bronson's as this one a viewing,believe me i have tried persuading friends to give it a chance.
Buy this movie and the chances are you will be looking for more Bronson,and their is a great library to choose from.
As a final thought you will feel like a couch potato next to Mr Bronson's tough and well sculpted body,
most of us could live with that but when i realised his age in many of these movies,
i completely gave up any thoughts of hitting the gym and instead worked my hand into a new bag of potato chips(haha).

4.0 out of 5 stars A great action movie from my childhood
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2024

I can remember seeing this movie when it first came out at the drive in theater with my parents, and it started my fangirling for Charles Bronson. While some of the supporting character portrayals are laughably bad, included by Bronson's real life wife, Jill Ireland, the story between Bronson and Vincent's characters is well done and the ending of the movie is quite satisfying.

And, on a side note, the house that Bronson lives in in this movie is AMAZING. Apparently, Prince purchased it and renovated it so it no longer looks like it did in the flick, but, that house was my dream house for a very long time.

Great price on this disc and the movie holds up as a great classic action flick.

Scorpion Releasing releases this popular action drama from 1972 directed by Michael Winner and starring Charles Bronson as Arthur Bishop, a mob hitman who is hired to kill a friend of his (played by Kennan Wynn) and whose son (played by Jan Michael Vincent) ends up befriending him, even becoming his apprentice, which displeases the mob, forcing both of them to face assassins from without and within...

Looking quite good in HD, an upgrade from the 2002 MGM double-sided DVD, including its theatrical trailer as well as several others. Now includes two audio commentaries, one with cinematographer Richard H. Kline and Nick Redman, the other with Charles Bronson biographer Paul Talbot, and an interview with writer Lewis John Carlino. Good film with effective performances, action, and memorable double-twist ending.

4.0 out of 5 stars NEW 2K SCAN FOR THE 1972 MECHANIC WITH NEW BONUS EXTRAS
Reviewed in Australia on February 10, 2024

This MECHANIC film from 1972 is the original Charles bronson vsn
which the Jason statham THE MECHANIC 2002 remake film is based on.
the older vsn does Drag on alot in the first 30mins of the film so its more for big fans of Charles bronson.
the 1972 film is made from Different Era Directed by the contriversal Michael winner
so you can't expect it to be same action packed film as the Jason Statham film anyway
its still worth watching.
Finally been reissued on blu-ray by U.S label scorpion releasing with a new 2K 1:78:1 HD transfer scan
which looks amazing picture quality No Grain No Dirt excellent
color restoration about 9.5/10 PQ massive upgrade from the
old 2003 dvd reissue which was very Grainy about 5/10 PQ almost VHS quality.
the sound mix has been upgraded aswell to new 2.0 master mix about 7/10
BONUS EXTRAS- newly filmed interview with Screen writer Lewis John Carlino
also new audio commentaries with Paul Talbot & Cinemaphotographer Richard Kline
plus the usual Theatrical trailer in HD quality
the UK Final cut blu-ray has NO EXTRAS so better value for money to buy this new
U.S blu-ray which is very costly from $50AUD but definitelty worth the cash
so 4 stars for the new U.S blu-ray based on excellent HD transfer & new bonus extras
1 star for the UK FINAL CUT BLU-RAY reissue
