Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe salary of star Charles Bronson was a then exorbitant US $1,500,000. Moreover, this did not include his back-end points percentage profit from the film's box-office grosses and the cost and expenditure for his and wife Jill Ireland's entourage of about a dozen personnel.
- GoofsBronson makes his darts before knowing what he will use as a tube to know the size of darts. He disassembles a lamp to use as a blow gun that just happens to be the exact size of the darts that he makes.
- Quotes
[During the trial about Joe Bomposa]
Senator: Why did he pay your rent, your trips, buy your clothes?
Jackie Pruit: Because I'm the best lay... dy in town!
- Alternate versionsUK cinema and video versions were cut by 1 min 24 secs to remove a gunshot impact and to heavily edit the scene where Charlie makes nail darts for a homemade blowpipe. The cuts were restored in the 2000 Widescreen release.

Featured review
I like Charles Bronson. In some film fan circles this is considered a crime, but I've learned to live with it. Ánd then there is "Love and Bullets". Considering the production values this must have been a major release in it's day. And watching the trailer you could guess why people went to the cinema for it. Seeing it in the day and age of Jason Bourne is a different story: A crook is on the phone. He calls his boss who is outside. We hear the phone ring, the boss hears it, walks into the house and after an excruciating long period of time reaches the phone. In a Matt Damon outing this scene would probably take 15 seconds, even if he had to use the 1979 model of a phone used here. Look at the geographical distance covered in the film. Bourne, Bond or any given thriller hero might cover this mileage in 2 minutes. Bronson takes about an hour. He walks, he sleeps and has to deal with Mrs Jill Bronson again. And as I've said before: she was an acting disaster. I hope their marriage was okay, she nearly ruined some Bronson movies all by herself. Lalo Schifrin's music is intriguing, but the very short motive is overused a zillion different times. But overall Charlie is okay, Rod Steiger is ridiculous (but hopefully on purpose), the scenery helps and the final scene makes you smile as you do in most classic Bronson outings. And as opposed to other reviewers: it is on DVD and has been for a long, long time through Carlton Entertainment in Europe. Sound of outdoor scenes is awful. All in all, this was the last big budget film for Bronson. It should have been slightly better. It could have been.
