Title: The Last Boy Scout
Post by: The Sceneman on March 07, 2007, 04:26:50 AM: Just watched it, still the best action comedy ever made. Bruce Willis at his best!

Title: Re: The Last Boy Scout
Post by: Solo on March 07, 2007, 08:33:39 AM: Easily my favorite buddy flick ever. It's one of those films that most people havent heard of, but once you convince them to watch it, they become instant converts to its greatness.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on March 07, 2007, 02:56:55 PM: The Last Boy Scout hasn't aged well. Anything football related seems stupid, as free agency didn't kill the game, and some of the scenes are just dumbright hokey.

The Last Boy Scout is like a Miller Lite to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's Crown Royale Special Reserve.

What the fuck? If you knew anything about Shane Black, you'd know his films are pretty much all cut from the same mold.

Title: Re: The Last Boy Scout
Post by: The Fake Shemp on March 07, 2007, 04:35:37 PM: I think Kiss Kiss Bang Bang represents a real maturity in his screenwriting process, probably because for the first time ever, he had directorial control. It's a really accomplished piece of work across the board.

Plus, he also wrote The Monster Squad, which is nothing like either film!

Post by: The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment on March 07, 2007, 04:36:43 PM: Well, with the exception of Monster Squad.

Best not to go into too much detail, because it's awfully convoluted and crazy, but Damon Wayans and Bruce Willis both play good guys with trouble lives/pasts that must solve the mystery of all the dead bodies that leads to one of the most powerful businessmen in California!

Title: Re: The Last Boy Scout
Post by: The Fake Shemp on March 07, 2007, 04:40:18 PM: The plot doesn't make too much sense, it's more or less an excuse for Bruce Willis to go around saying, "... if you do that again, I'm going to kill you." Will he make good on his promise? Only time will tell!
Title: Re: The Last Boy Scout
Post by: Cheebs on March 07, 2007, 04:41:39 PM: I have come to the realization just now that bald Willis is better looking than receding hairline Willis.

Indeed. I also love how KKBB was basically Black taking the piss out of the genre that made him famous. Thats one of the greatest things about KKBB, it turns most the the genre cliches and conventions around on their heads. Also, Downey Jr. is fucking awesome in this. Kilmer is awesome too, but this is totally Downey's show. Coincedence that the 3 Downey Jr. performances I remember from recent years (Wonder Boys, KKBB, Zodiac) are the best in each respective film? I think not. Fuck, Im gonna go see fucking Iron Man opening weekend just for him!
