RyothChatty ridiculous rating
Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
jsteven117 This series was closer to Route 66 on a motorcycle then it was to Easyrider. Also the motorcycle used in it was a Harley Davidson Sportster not a Norton. I agree that the series was cancelled to soon and would also like to see reruns of it. Michael Parks has always been an excellent actor, good at performing roles that are a little quirky. Many people probably do not recall that Martin Sheen played the friend that committed suicide in the first episode and that it was his motorcycle that Bronson toured the country with. I saw this show when I was young but later watched the reruns, I have not seen it recently though.
warnersbakery I doubt any one really understands how much actual change of life Micheal "then Came Bronson" had on young American guys. He not only changed the way I viewed my future but had a direct effect on how I related to much of what I would become later in life. Like most I would be extremely happy to be able to watch all of the shows again from a prospective 35 years later!! I've seen some of Micheal Parks work over the years, but nothing I've seen has been as important or so well connected to my feelings as Then Came Bronson was. I think he's a great actor but the premise of the show and the way he portrayed his personal viewpoint in the show made the difference between just a show and something I'll remember as long as I live.
mpope333 i was fourteen years old when "then came Benson" was on t.v. and it was a very simple,but intriguing show. given the time it took place,i don't believe it is a show that could be done today. i think much of the appeal then and now is because there's just something about heading out on the open highway,never knowing where you're going,or where you might end up that is very tempting to a lot of people,and that show in a way,kind of allowed us to do that. unfortunately,i think that michael parks is a very under rated actor,who,like a few other actors,always seems to bring some honesty,integrity and intensity. "then came Benson" was a 'one-of-a-kind'.
jadjul "Then Came Bronson" was the baby boomer's introduction to buy and ride motorcycles. After being discharged from the Marine Corp and wanting to just enjoy my life and freedom in this country and this show came on a few years after my adjusting to civilian life I was hooked from the first show. I bought 3 motorcycle within 5 yrs the 3rd was a Harley Davidson Sportster very much like the one used on this show. I am also surprised this show hasn't been on the cable channels. It would be a nice change from the shows that most cable channels run over and over until the viewers know the lines of the characters like they are reading the scripts. The show was very peaceful, just a guy that wanted to see this great country and meet some of the people that live here. Most people you mention this show to from that era remember it and seem to feel it would be enjoyed by a whole new and much younger audience now and I certainly agree with that.
