To me, this movie is perfection.
Absolutely Fantastic
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
This was one show that I will never forget. like another poster, I was in the Navy when it began and had been assigned to Memphis, TN. We has four man dorms and fortunately, the night Bronson came on, my three roommates were on overnight duty so I had the room to myself. Route 66 had only been a few years earlier and I watched that one faithfully too. The unique element about both of these shows was that one could travel across the country and no two places were alike so each mile was an adventure. One could also, in the show at least, find a job somewhere to carry you until you were ready to move on. We have pretty much lost that now and almost every place near the Interstates is a cookie cutter image of the one before. It ismy ambition soon to take a road trip and stay off the Interstates and see what the country really looks like. They tried to revive Route 66 in the early 90's with the solo character finding out that Buzz Murdoch (George Maharis)had been his father and he inherited the 'Vette so he decided to see the country and learn more about his father. I don't know what went wrong but the show only lasted about a year. I how they try it again soon.
JimBronson.com started its evolution in late 2007, living and working in Japan, I noticed on the Japanese television one day the TV series Then Came Bronson. I suddenly was swept back to 1969 when I was 18 and saw the show, bought a bike and tried to live out the Bronson mystique that summer. Also in 2007 I was learning how to build websites and launched a page for TCB, and met Greg and Billy, now charter members of Bronson's Garage. From that time forward Peter, Bill, Tom, Don, David and Jim have been inducted into the Garage, and we have become friends with Jerry who painted the original bikes and Birney, the man whom Bronson's life and adventures were based. We have celebrated the 40th & 41st Anniversary of TCB, with reunions of Bronson's Garage members at various locations. Our You Tube channel is as populated with nostalgia as JB.com. Come back in time and recapture your youth and enjoy the TV show that inspired us to ride. Until then you hang in there and we'll see ya on the long lonesome highway! - Mike's Bike (Webmaster JB.com)
When I heard the name Michael Parks in "Kill Bill 2", I said I know that name, and a motorcycle image was in my mind. Of course, he is now 150 years old and resembles nothing like the young kid 'Brando' image I had."Along came Bronson" was that 1969 kid I had in mind.It was the year I joined the Air Force and later (1971) went to Vietnam. Michael Parks' name rang an old bell today, in 2005,in this person's mind and I had to look up his name at Yahoo to complete my search and prove my theory.Thank God for the Internet and for postings like this site!
I remember when I saw this movie, it must have been around 1980, and me and my sister were baby sitting for my elder sisters kid. I must have been around 12, and I thought, "this guy is sooo cool". It's funny how it came back into my head, 'cos I was listening to Johnny Cash singing "Wayfaring Stranger", and I instantly remembered this song from the movie, all those years ago. Don't know what I'd think about it now if I saw it, but it says something that the memory has lasted so long in my head.
