The 1st 5 or so scenes of The Last Boy Scout are very good, and crafted very well as each scene offers a distinctly memorable moment. 1st scene memorable moment - the drug crazed running back playing the game of his life pulls out a firearm from his pants and guns down the incoming tacklers in the middle of a play during the rainy night football opener. 2nd scene moment - Joe wakes up in the front seat of his car with a stiff squirrel, thanks to those prankster neighborhood kids. 3rd scene moment - Jimmy busts that super creep in the hot tub in the face with his strong football throwing arm. 4th scene moment - Joe detects his wife (Masters of the Universe Hottie Chelsea Field!) cheating with his best friend hiding in the closet and generously asks him to come out, or else. 5th scene moment - Joe, Damon and Cory talk things out in the strip club and watch Cory dance. Past this point the rest of The Last Boy Scout begins to unravel intense and nonstop. All these moments are unforgettable, especially the opening credits scene, but Cory's dance is my most memorable moment, by far, thanks to Halle Berry. When Halle smacks her butt in a thong and cowgirl chaps, then turns to the camera in that blonde wig and cowboy hat, licks her lips, blows the imaginary smoke from her toy pistol, and starts busting it open, I can't imagine anything hotter. I don't have to imagine. She looks INSANE in that blonde wig, and then the stars over her boobs, oh my sweet heavenly goodness. Behave! I'm trying. Halle Berry is the hottest woman in the history of the universe. That is a fact and it is not an opinion. I love Halle. Halle, thank God for you! You are the best. When Halle whispers 'Go stick your head in that speaker and you'll be screaming play that funky music white boy.' and booty bumps Bruce, OOOWWWWW! That's what I would of said.

View MorePlot: A down and out cynical detective teams up with a down and out ex-quarterback to try and solve a murder case involving a pro football team and a politician.This film is always fun to watch from start to finish. Whether it's the Opening scene, the introduction of the characters, or the style of the film that the late great Tony Scott brought to it. Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans have really good chemistry with each other which is surprising since you wouldn't think with that combination that it would work, but it does. The supporting cast also does well especially the late Taylor Negron who plays a great henchman to the main villain. The other big reason this film works is the great script by Shane Black who knew how to write witty dialogue especially in this film, Lethal Weapon, Long Kiss Goodnight, etc.This film is a must see for action fans, you will definitely have a good time with it.
... View MoreA typical crime thriller in the vein of many '90s films, giving us clichéd characters and plenty of action, with little plot or character development. Despite having a predictable premise of two characters who initially hate each other, team up and grow to love one another, this film benefits from some good acting from Willis and Wayans. Willis plays the character role he was stuck with in the early '90s, basically the washed-up alcoholic cop (talk about typecasting...), but he plays it very well indeed and frequently manages to be very funny. Wayans, on the other hand, gives a very compassionate and likable performance. The chemistry between the two actually works for a change and this makes the film, as a whole, a lot easier to bear.The plot twists and turns for a bit while our heroes try to figure out who's responsible for a murder of a friend while in the mean time avoid being killed. The action scenes come fast and violent - just the way I like them. There are plenty of impressive moments, such as Willis killing an opponent with just one punch, or a stunt where a car flies over a house before landing in a swimming pool. The only negative point in the film - aside from the unoriginality that is - was the excessive and laboured swearing, which seemed a bit forced (unlike in RESERVOIR DOGS, where it seemed at home). Stick around for the excellent climax which has Willis battling the chief villain on top of some scaffolding at a football game. Otherwise, this is solid entertainment, even if we have seen it all before.
... View MoreThe Last Boy Scout (1991) is the best action movie from the 90's. It is my favorite action movie from Tony Scott and Bruce Willis. I would put this movie right beside Die Hard 2 (1990), because both of the movies come out in the 90's which Bruce Willis started it. Both of the movies did a great job! Every time I watch this movie, I just miss the 90's. The 80's and the 90's had such a great action movies. Bruce Willis wasn't over hyped than like he is now, he as a true sold out. In this film he completely Entertains me. The action and the story are so good in here that you just wanna keep watching it. The acting in here is superb and the action scenes are outstanding and fantastic. You have a lot of famous actors in here. If you're a fan of bloody old-school action and one-liners, you must watch this! Script is simple, witty one-liners are all over the place and Willis does a great job playing a rundown detective.Tony Scott does a great job directing action movies and it is a shame that he passed away in 2012. I have always enjoyed his movies beside The Last Boy Scout there are Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop II, Enemy of the State and Man on Fire movies. Tony Scott is very missed by fans including me. So in this movie you have actors like are: Noble Willingham from Walker, Texas Ranger (1993) TV Series, Halle Berry from X-Men, Bruce McGill from MacGyver, Joe Santos from TV Series: The Rockford Files, MacGyver and Magnum P.I., Kim Coates from Prison Break, Chelsea Field from Commando (1985) she was a stewardess on an airplane where John Matrix (Arnold Schwarzenegger) gets on a board on the airplane and Billy Blanks. You have full cast of actors and actresses I have memorized from TV Shows and from movies. 1991's The Last Boy Scout paired Bruce Willis with Damien Wayans in this scripted buddy flick from Shane Black who gave us Lethal Weapon. Boy Scout uses the various themes expected from such a genre film and Willis gives an A-1 performance as a wise-crackin' half-in-the-bag detective out to help Wayan's character of Jimmy Dicks search for his girlfriends killer and also put a stop to a plot to kill a senator and legalize sports gambling all at the same time. Boy Scout was directed by Tony Scott who knows how to tell action stories. This has it all. Solid action with lots of twisted humor tossed in. Honestly I love this. Perfect action for the era with as many cheesy punch lines as you can squeeze in. Second only to Die Hard.Thrilling action beautifully directed by Tony Scott....a to-the-point story that actually has you invested...and a great leading Willis all make for a good movie but what makes this movie GREAT is the duo of Willis and Wayans and the chemistry they share together....I know your thinking that a pairing like that is a DISASTER for an action movie but let me tell you it is the complete opposite...the duo is the main reason the movie flows so well....so I say buy this movie because you surely wont be disappointed.Emmy and Golden Globe-winner Bruce Willis ("Die Hard", "Sin City") and Emmy-nominee Damon Wayans (TV's "My Wife and Kids," TV's "In Living Color") team up as an ex-secret service agent and a former pro-football hero who uncover a web of intrigue and corruption in professional sports when they team up to investigate the murder of the football player's stripper girlfriend. That's your basic plot. The movie has action impact and it is action packed from beginning till end. Joe (Bruce Willis) has always great liens he uses in the movie. He is straight and honest guy who his daughter and wife does not respect him. He is an ex washed up secret service agent man turning in to private detective. He has to protect a striper when she is killed he teams up with washed up pro football player. The movie also evolves, scandals, extraction, gambling deb, alcoholism and so on. The film is violent, and bloody, there are a lot of hand guns and machine guns used in this movie and they are used well. This movie is a perfect 10 for me and it is my favorite action movie from Bruce Willis and Tony Scott.
