* CryForTheDevil: Bronson shows promise as both a fighter and an artist, and is a charismatic and fascinating man. It can feel like a waste (not to mention cruel) to see him locked up in a tiny cage by himself after being beaten by half a dozen guards. But whenever they go easier on him, it's right back to hostage-taking and pointless brawls.

* SmugSnake: The prison governor, although given that Bronson is constantly assaulting his staff and taking them hostage, his condescending and dismissive attitude towards Bronson and his art is more understandable.

* HisOwnWorstEnemy: Put nicely by Creator/RogerEbert: "I was reading a theory the other day that a few people just happen to be pure evil. I'm afraid I believe it. They lack any conscience, any sense of pity or empathy for their victims. But Bronson is his own victim. How do you figure that?" (This, of course, is not meant to gloss over all of the other people Bronson has hurt over the years.)

* UrineTrouble: Bronson pisses on a fallen foe during his bareknuckle boxing days; the perfect capper to a grimy brawl in the middle of nowhere.

* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Bronson was always trouble, but the constant solitary confinement surely didn't help matters any. But his own behavior put him there, creating a vicious cycle.

Added DiffLines:

** The supposed footage from Broadmoor asylum is actually footage from the Strangeways prison protests from 1990 and while Charles Bronson did actually stage a protest on Broadmoor's roof there are no known recorded pieces of footage of the incident (there are pictures however).
** Additionally the real life Charles Bronson still had a full head of hair by the time he was incarcerated in Broadmoor asylum.

Michael Gordon Peterson is a seemingly average man living in England in [[TheSeventies the 1970s]]. He describes his upbringing as typical, his parents as principled. After marrying a sweetheart and having a child, he [[SawnOffShotgun saws off a double-barreled shotgun]] and robs a post-office. He's caught and arrested soon after, and sentenced to seven years in prison. He soon finds that prison isn't that bad of a place to be. In fact, it's rather like a hotel, where you can eat and sleep for free for as long as society dictates. Soon enough, Michael doesn't just like prison; he loves it. And what's more, he's determined to be a star.
