  • Interview (13:58, HD) sits down with screenwriter Lewis John Carlino, who recounts his research into the mafia during the late 1960s, which provided the initial creative seed for "The Mechanic." Carlino talks about his interest in the interior life of a professional assassin, looking to explore how such psychology works. While the project was initially turned down by several producers, it eventually found its place with Charles Bronson attached, though the interviewee laments the loss of intellectual edge with the star's hiring. Time with director Michael Winner is recalled, along with the feature's tonal unevenness as action was prioritized. Carlino discusses his original vision for the tale, which had Arthur and Steve as a couple, but changes were requested, inspiring the creation of the prostitute character. An assessment of Bronson is presented, along with an appreciation of the stunt work, and the chat closes with an overview of "The Mechanic" and its cult longevity.
