Machine Gun Kelly [VHS]
Charles Bronson took dead aim at stardom as Machine Gun Kelly, the popular action hero's first-ever lead role. The story moves at a bullet's pace as it chronicles the exploits of the infamous Depression-era gangster. Kelly starts out with small-time robberies, leaps to the big time with a sensational kidnapping and out-toughs his rebellious gang members whenever they step out of line. But Kelly, who could slap around his moll or lop off the arm of a squealer(Morey Amsterdam) as easily as brushing his teeth, couldn't hide his fear of death. Bronson's knife-edged portrayal makes that constant, jittery fear come alive, giving the film a surprising impact.Filmed by Roger "Shoot to Thrill" Corman. Machine Gun Kelly rat-a-tat-tats rounds of excitment. It's a Drive-In Classic through and through. Accept no substitutes!
