Smack My Pitch Up!

[karne]

Just been skimming through tonight's TV listings in the Radio Times when I noticed this:

BBC1 12.05 AM

Mr Majestyk **Action thriller starring Charles Bronson as melon farmer Vince Majestyk who becomes an embattled Mafia target.

A bad-ass, Mafia battling, melon farmer with a name more suited to a Las Vegas stage magician. Can you imagine how much bottle the bloke who pitched that idea must have had? It got two stars as well.

As man was the great Elmore Leonard I don't think he'd have much of a problem

Cracking film too.

Y'know, for a moment there I thought you were talking about Mr. Majeka. I say Stanley Baxter for Death Wish VI: the Mop Top Mops Up.

Wasn't Mr Majestyk a Scottish children's comedy starring Stanley Baxter?
