Who remembers who all was in The Dirty Dozen ? Jim is the one that ran with a sack of hand grenades and dropped them in the air vents that had already been doused with gasoline. As I recall, he was shot after dropping the last one. The whole thing would have worked for it not for Telly Savalas screwing with one of the chamber maids. Seems like John Cassavetes was the only survivor.


I thought it was Charles Bronson who survived. You can't kill Bronson.



Yep. You can't.

Cassavetes was killed after they got away and started prematurely celebrating.

Bronson's character, the Corporal and the Major all survived out of 14.

I loved Jim Brown's character in that movie and in Ice Station Zebra.

He may have been flawed but the man had exceptional gifts.

I can see him being a racist, as anyone who is a serial female abuser has a lot of hate in him. Yea, read that about him, too.

We are talking about a movie. I don't know what his character was in 1966 when the Dirty Dozen was filmed. You can talk about that if you want to. I really haven't thought anything about Jim Brown in years. If you say he was flawed then I can't argue with you because I don't know or I forgot.
