I remember seeing this when first released as “The Streetfighter” Years later I started watching Hard Times on tv and realised it was the same film. One of Bronsons best, he’s tailor-made for the role of Cheyney.

Awesome debut for Walter Hill, The whole cast shines in this, except for maybe Bronson's girlfriend... Bronson is tough as nails and short on patience as the wandering Street fighter with a code. And Coburn and Martin are super charming as always.

Another great Walter Hill film with a strong cast. Bronson, Coburn, and Martin are all favorites of mine. A depression-era street fighter hooks up with a compulsive gambler and a morphine addict. I've watched it multiple times over it's 40 plus year life. It's worth your time...
