Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

The Worst Film Ever

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Just prior to committing suicide "Nick Oresco" (Martin Sheen) gives his Harley-Davidson motorcycle to his good friend "Jim Bronson" (Michael Parks) who then watches in horror as Nick jumps off of a bridge to his death. Not long afterward, Jim gets fed up working for an ungrateful boss so he quits his job and takes off on a trip from the West Coast to New Orleans. Along the way he encounters a woman named "Temple Brooks" (Bonnie Bedalia) who proceeds to run him off the road but then later asks for his help—at which time he generously gives her a lift. Although at first she strikes him as terribly cold and aloof, as they come to know each other they realize how lonely each of them are--and how much they need each other. But whether they are right for each other remains an open question and there are plenty of more challenges awaiting them as they continue their travels. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film is essentially the pilot for a television series that ran in 1969-1970 for just one season. Although I have never seen any of the other shows, I thought this particular made-for-television movie was pretty good and I have rated it accordingly. Above average.

JimBronson.com started its evolution in late 2007, living and working in Japan, I noticed on the Japanese television one day the TV series Then Came Bronson. I suddenly was swept back to 1969 when I was 18 and saw the show, bought a bike and tried to live out the Bronson mystique that summer. Also in 2007 I was learning how to build websites and launched a page for TCB, and met Greg and Billy, now charter members of Bronson's Garage. From that time forward Peter, Bill, Tom, Don, David and Jim have been inducted into the Garage, and we have become friends with Jerry who painted the original bikes and Birney, the man whom Bronson's life and adventures were based. We have celebrated the 40th & 41st Anniversary of TCB, with reunions of Bronson's Garage members at various locations. Our You Tube channel is as populated with nostalgia as JB.com. Come back in time and recapture your youth and enjoy the TV show that inspired us to ride. Until then you hang in there and we'll see ya on the long lonesome highway! - Mike's Bike (Webmaster JB.com)

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.

When I was 15, I was a Star Trek kid and my dad was more the Mannix type. Needless to say, we argued quite a bit over what to watch on TV. But one show we both loved was Then Came Bronson. And we were both incredibly disappointed when it was canceled after such a short run. This series pilot is a tale of a disillusioned young corporate type (Michael Parks, in an understated performance reminiscent of James Dean) whose world is shaken by the suicide of a friend. He takes off across the US on a Harley, hooking up with a young and somewhat spoiled wedding fugitive (Bonnie Bedelia).There are quite a few good supporting performances in a film that many at the time compared to Easy Rider (but in fact now seems less dated, at least that's what I thought when TBS reran it about three or four years ago). Though there are indeed similarities between the two, Then Came Bronson probably has roots closer to Jack Kerouac's On The Road and the TV show Route 66 than Easy Rider. Sad to see that this movie isn't available on DVD. Maybe one day...
