The Last Boy Scout
Directed by Tony Scott
Somewhere in Los Angeles, the city of broken dreams, a stripper is murdered. Now, the private detective she had hired and her ex-footballer boyfriend are going to find her murderer... if they don't kill each other first. But the more they dig, the deeper they become enmeshed in a web of extortion, blackmail and corrupt politics hidden beneath the surface of professional football. From TMDB

60 of 174 · most liked firstjust rewatched The Last Boy Scout, a movie i cannot analyze objectively because i have loved it since childhood. But goddamn Ebert's review of it is both hard as fuck and prescient.
positive · AI labelView post →Die Hard is a solid Christmas action movie but it takes up way too much space in the culture. You can and should celebrate Christmas with - Batman Returns - Police Story - Lethal Weapon - The Last Boy Scout - The Long Kiss Goodnight - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - ok every Shane Black movie
neutral · AI labelView post →I can’t remember what I did this morning, but I remember that Friday Night’s a Great Night for Football is a song from the movie the Last Boy Scout and oh boy do I love my brain damage.
positive · AI labelView post →Ridley’s best movies (Alien and Blade Runner) are better than Tony’s best movies (The Last Boy Scout and Man on Fire) but I’d rather watch a Tony Scott movie than a Ridley Scott movie. And Ridley’s worst movies are worse than Tony’s worst movies

neutral · AI labelView post →The year was 1991, and America was still hungover from Lethal Weapon marathons and Reaganomics. Enter The Last Boy Scout: the film where Bruce Willis chain-smokes his way through nihilism while Damon Wayans dunks on the plot. Football, bullets, and bad vibes. #filmsky #moviesky

positive · AI labelView post →My son wants to watch football and I want to watch a movie so we compromised with THE LAST BOY SCOUT.
neutral · AI labelView post →Joel Silver wanted to make a movie called Die Hard. He got it from writer Shane Black: it was the first title for The Last Boy Scout. Roderick Thorp was furious about the change and spoke to Silver but Silver said “The best thing that happened to your book is this movie”. 19/43
neutral · AI labelView post →My favorite Christmas movie is “The Last Boy Scout.”
positive · AI labelView post →Alien is a movie I can put on anytime and just absorb all the incredible little details, it's a masterpiece, but Man On Fire and The Last Boy Scout bring out the real hooting and hollering caveman brain in me and I adore them for that.
positive · AI labelView post →Hollywood paid $1.75 million for the script to The Last Boy Scout and then nearly destroyed the movie trying to “fix” it. Ego wars. Rewrites. A chaotic production. Somehow, it still became a cult classic. Today, we break down this buddy cop movie with a mile-wide mean streak on Grindhouse Gospel

positive · AI labelView post →#nowwatching THE LAST BOY SCOUT. Behind CRIMSON TIDE, this is my favorite Tony Scott film. Great action, classic dialogue. It’s actually a pretty mean nasty movie. Taylor Negron as Milo was top tier villain casting.
positive · AI labelView post →Ah, THE LAST BOY SCOUT, you are such a mean, scummy movie. I love you so much.
positive · AI labelView post →For me the most 80s movie is Manhunter (86). The most 90s is The Last Boy Scout (91). Can't decide on a most 70s movie. Perhaps Magnum Force (73) for its feel. None of these are defining movies in cinema but just feel very that decade. I'm scared xXx might be the 2000s contender.
neutral · AI labelView post →Fabulous film. In an alternate universe, this and THE LAST BOY SCOUT spawned multiple sequels. And maybe a crossover event.

positive · AI labelView post →Was planning on watching just the one Tony Scott film tonight but The Last Boy Scout has been on my mind so much lately that I think it's going to have to be a double bill
positive · AI labelView post →The Last Boy Scout remastered in 4K! One of Tony Scott's best films. I love this film. Possibly more than Die Hard. Bruce Willis channels his grumpy ex-cop perfectly here and the pairing with Damon Wayans hints at the later pairing/sparring with Samuel L. Jackson in Die Hard With A Vengeance. 1/

In the holding room, we had to be quiet but played a silent game of movie Hangman on a whiteboard. I won by guessing THE LAST BOY SCOUT cold, with no letters. Was a really cool day.
positive · AI labelView post →The original script title for THE LAST BOY SCOUT was DIE HARD, which Shane Black gave to his producer buddy Joel Silver for his film.
neutral · AI labelView post →In the hoopla surrounding Moonlight and the ‘David’ character, who would’ve thought Bruce Willis could have transitioned to an action hero - not me. I was wrong…but I think the Last Boy Scout was a better movie
positive · AI labelView post →While reading up on [The Last Boy Scout](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Boy_Scout), I found this: > Shane Black and Tony Scott both expressed dissatisfaction with the final film, and said in later years how the original script was far better. Scott accused Joel Silver of interfering with the production and swore off working with the producer again. His next film, True Romance, features an unflattering film producer character patterned after Silver.
neutral · AI labelView post →If it's a weekday I'm definitely calling in sick. I'll have to choose between my favorite pizza place or favorite Chinese restaurant. Probably see a movie, go for a long walk. And I'll do a jig like Bruce Willis at the end of THE LAST BOY SCOUT.
positive · AI labelView post →I was gonna watch a movie I’d never seen but Tubi got The Last Boy Scout. Directed by Tony Scott, written by Shane Black, produced by Joel Silver. Bruce Willis is a scumbag PI who teams up with Damon Wayans as a disgraced NFL quarterback to investigate a political conspiracy. This is the good stuff!
positive · AI labelView post →My only real answer here is not, like, a CELEBRITY celebrity but Ward Russell, the DP who shot The Last Boy Scout and Days of Thunder and did camerawork on Top Gun, was Jacob’s mentor/boss when Jacob was in the film industry and was so kind to me.

positive · AI labelView post →The Last Boy Scout. Really dark, gritty, anti-hero movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Since today is THE American football day, I just want to put in a plug for the vaguely dismal film The Last Boy Scout, which has the single most startling opening 4 minutes of a film I have ever seen
