I love Landlum Goes There. I like the old Hollywood stuff.

The guy was in Death Wish, Death Wish 2, Death Wish 3, Death Wish 4 and Death Wish 5.

Guess the money did the talking...

He sounds like a country Shane Co jewelers ad voice

It’s not a good voice....

Strange, Death Wish had many sequels and I’d say The Mechanic was a more subversive film; if you’re gonna object to art.

But he was great in Once Upon a Time in the West. Played the harmonica for crap but he was great :-)

Death Wish 3 was where I stopped. “HE KILLED THE GIGGLER!”

I saw 10 to Midnight as a child with my aunt. All I remember about it was some half naked guy killing women.

Worked in the mines and of Crimean Tatar ancestry, hence why he often played “exotic” roles early in his career.

I remember when that came out - loved it for the vigilante approach. The screeching from the liberal hand-wringers was deafening, which all of us enjoyed. There was so much crap going on in NYC then, that the movie touched many nerves of people who have had it.

The audience roared when this ending scene showed up (punks harassing woman at Chicago airport):

Surprised it hasn't already shown up. :-)

I remember seeing the original Death Wish at the theater, and some of the sequels on TV. I watched them all a few months ago on demand.

Yes. Definitely an excellent ending. I love “justice” movies and stories.

I thought he was Lithuanian? Could definitely have had Mongolian Horde blood though from eastern Europe roots.
