"This is a great 'guy' movie that can be watched over and over again. Poor Charles Bronson, he just "wants to get his melons in." This is a classic David pummles Golieth story."

"If you like melons, violence, sexual innuendo, and/or fat Mafia hitmen screaming "Da keys!" over and over, you'll love "Mr. Majestyk." Never keep Bronson away from his beloved melons."
Mr. Majestyk Don't mess with Mr.Bronson

"I want to give this movie 20 stars but i can't. Charles Bronson plays one of his best roles here. Just an ordinary farmer who wants to get his melons in. But when Bobby Kopas tries to give him trouble all hell breaks loose.Bronson keeps it nice and simple from Start till Mid-Way in the movie and only really breaks free at the end,when he has not 1 but 2 guys who are after him
hit man Renda (Al Lettieri)who he meets up in jail thanks to Bobby Kopas.
Al Lettri plays a perfect part in this movie as a mafia boss.I don't want to spoil the movie but this is just right down the best 70's movie made Way to go Bronson.The dvd has a great picture and sound quality for a 70's movie.
I have 1 little complaint to make to MGM where is the Bio on Charles Bronson? there has been many films released but none contain A FULL BIO on poor MR.CHARLES BRONSON please can you include it in the next movie you release."
Excellent Movie! But it needs DVD treatment

"This is a must for Bronson fans. Its about a simple melon picker who fights the evils of society ."
No matter what, the job has to get done.

"As a Bronson movie watcher for years, this one portrays him in his typical mode, but here a simple mellon picker-owner of property, also under attack from all sides. Great picture for one that believes in there right to start and run a business even as small and megger as his and willing to protect it. Very good Bronson film"
