Mr. Majestyk

Just prior to the big chase in which the Ford truck does all of the big jumps, Majestyk pulls the truck into the driveway and parks in front of the house.

He then unhooks the trailer and leaves it behind the truck.

When he runs out of the house and jumps into the back of the truck as the woman drives it away, the truck is facing the other direction and the trailer is not in sight.

During the chase in the canyon, the left headlight is alternately there or missing.

(at around 1h 29 mins) During the chase in the canyon, a safety cable can be seen attached to the bad guy's car front bumper.

(at around 1 min) Just after Majestyk and Frank are fighting in the back seat of the car, Frank shoots the back window.

Majestyk pushes him out and escapes through the broken rear window.

As he runs away from the car, the shadow of the film crew is briefly seen at the bottom of the screen.

At the cabin, when Majestyk hides from Frank by jumping up into a corner of the log cabin, his feet are not quite two logs up from the stone foundation, yet when Frank looks down from the roof into that corner, his point of view shows two full logs and no feet can be seen.

Immediately afterward when Majestyk jumps back down, his feet can be seen starting from the same position, less then two logs up, as he jumps back down.

His feet should have been visible from Frank's viewpoint on the roof.

During the chase scene, Majestyk (Charles Bronson) is loading his shotgun in the bed of the pickup as Renda and his henchmen close in on the truck in their two cars, and the view from the lead car shows it closing to within 15-20 feet of the back of the truck, then the view switches to Majestyk's view from inside the truck bed and both pursuing cars are still a couple hundred yards back, then the view shows Majestyk kicking open the truck's tailgate and the lead car is again 15-20 feet behind.

At the end of the cabin scene, when Majestyk and Chavez get into the Ford truck, there is no mirror on the driver's side.

The next scene (filmed from above), there are big mirrors on both sides of the truck.

I'm kind of surprised to see all the 8,9, even 10 star reviews for this flick. After Bronson decides to turn in the Lettieri character by calling Lettieri's girlfriend and expects her to deliver them both to the sheriff while he sits in the back seat ...

Charles Bronson plays watermelon farmer/landowner(and Vietnam veteran) Vince Majestyk, who runs into trouble with organized crime when they threaten his workers, then scare them off, threatening to put Majestyk out of business, which of course he won't take lying down, leading to an escalating one man war that leads to an exciting finale.Charles Bronson is again effective as a wronged man out for revenge, and story is interesting, with good direction by Richard Fleisher, who keeps the film moving at a brisk pace.

The premise for this film is pretty weak and petty ... frank renda's ego is too big for his own good ...

(Flash Reviews)Bronson plays a watermelon land owner with a checkered past including stints in the military and behind bars. While on the straight, he gets hassled by the local toughs who heavily 'encourage' him to use their picking crew.

In this Bronson vehicle, our hero plays melon farmer Vince Majestyk who's bullied by a local gang of thugs who want him to use their melon pickers. There's a racial angle -- Vince likes to use Mexicans but the locals want him to use their (white) friends, who Vince dismisses as "winos.

I'm a big fan of Charles Bronson. His batting average isn't one of the greatest but when Bronson put the bat on the ball, he got big hit.

A well written and made, slow burning action movie with Bronson being Bronson even while playing the part of a melon picker. It works because they keep it simple.

As noted this is Bronson's sole Elmore Leonard title. Too bad, as Bronson is perfectly cast as the toughest farmer since Van Heflin or Alan Ladd.

You get more than your money's worth here! It has an excellent, strange plot, about a melon farmer, (Bronson as 'Majestyk') who runs in to very small-time villain, worm-like Paul Koslo as Bobby Kopas.
