Charles Bronson? Steinbeck?
I teach the novel, OF MICE AND MEN, and the phrase "strong as a bull" is used. Not the same thing, but this book was written in the 1930s, so perhaps the phrase has been around at least that long.
What about Charles Bronson movies? I was thinking maybe "The Magnificent Seven"? "Dirty Dozen"? "The Great Escape?"
Hope this helps!
