Definitely not Willis' best, but not his worth either. Typical 80's action, even if it's from the 90's :) I love it. So, shut off all logic and just enjoy the silly thing!
A fun little action flick, with a lot of "hey it's that guy/gal" moments, as a lot of the peripheral actors turn up in later, more familiar films. Danielle Harris in a cutely awkward stage was a standout in that respect, as I spent half the film wondering why she looked so familiar.
I allwas thing of Die hard wen i see this movie..but is even better then that..whit Damon Wayans its really good..action packet Moveie in Brus Willis Style
For years I thought this was an action flick. I was actually pleased to see it was more of a classic detective/noir story. Now if only they had committed to that...
The movie starts with the rocky (and cheesy) theme "Friday Night is A Great Night For Football" sung by Bill Medley. You can't top that way to begin a movie.
But then Scott surprises us again. the opening sequence, where a football player is going to use any way possible to score a touchdown, is breath taking too. Enter Joe Hallenback (Willis) and Jimmy Dix (Wayans) two fallen heroes. One, a detective, the other an ex pro of the Stallion's league. The mob is there too, gamble, money, bets, a murdered young girl and big explosions. All of this wrapped up in a great story, which I won't spoil. This film is one of Tarantino's favorites. It's full of one liners and classic scenes. Violent and graphic. "Touch me again and I kill you..." says Willis' character to one of the gangsters. You should see the result. Written by Shane Black (Lethal Weapon) you've got a guarantee you're going to have a great time. Taylor Negron is great as Milo, the villain, a young and beautiful Halle Berry is Kory a girl that knows too much, the sexy Chelsea Field is Hallenback's wife and Danielle Harris is her daughter a great characters that nearly steals the show.
This is not an "art" movie. It's pure entertainment, an excellent flick. Is anything better than that?
Two Great Stars Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans. I loved the action, one liners and of course, the special effects. I could watch this more over and over.
I don't remember a lot from this film, other than the opening sequence of football players being shot by a member of the opposing team, and the pig who holds the girl underwater in the hot tub because he wants a blow job.
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.
Aside from the Die Hard Flicks, this is probably Willi's best action flick. Wayans plays a good sidekick. Script was extremely well written for an action movie. This movie has so many one liners it's hard to pick a favourite...

Excellent cheesy 80s action nonsense, some stand out one liners from Willis and more generic villains than your average OTT gunfest. Shame the whole plot revolves around something as shitty as legalised gambling for football players.
If you like really good action flicks as the "Die Hard"-movies, this one should be the movie for you! It has a solid story, good action and is throughout the whole movie very entertaining!
Action packed and heavily cool, propped up by Bruce Willis, the Last Boy Scout gets 3 stars. However it is heavily flawed and probably shouldn't be considered a great movie.
Its a classic... Some punk wants to get dead, just piss this detective off, or point a gun in his face whilst threatening the safety of the world, and get reasdty to fall down with a one klier one liner... Bruce and Damon, my hearts goner explode...
I remember seeing the trailer and deciding to sneak into the theatre, even if it meant castaration. Which it did. But I didn't care, cause now my dicks made of metal hoe. And it's up in yo momma's guts.
Classic Bruce Willis. The drunken detective trying to do what is right. Which at this time seems to be protecting and helping out one of his football heroes that has gone downhill. Kinda like him. The one liner's are great in this movie.
I liked this movie, another typical Willis project, where he can drink some booze, make some wise cracks, and kick some butt. Entertaining action flick.
Milo: You think you are so fucking cool, don't you? You think you are so fucking cool. But just once, I would like to hear you scream in pain... Joe Hallenbeck: Play some rap music.
Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans star in a big and loud R rated action movie from Tony Scott, written by Buddy Movie King Screenwriter Shane Black.
In this movie, everyone is a different degree of asshole, even Willis' 13 year old daughter. This basically means that the general attitude gives everyone the chance to spout some of the best one-liners in a 90s action movie.
Joe Hallenbeck: Now what are you doing? Jimmy Dix: I'm drawing them a picture. Joe Hallenbeck: What's that? Jimmy Dix: It's a bomb. Joe Hallenbeck: It doesn't look like a bomb, it looks like an apple with lines coming out of it. What are they gonna say, "don't open the briefcase, it's full of fresh fruit"? Jimmy Dix: Do you want to draw the damn thing?
The plot is fairly straight forward, Willis is a deadbeat P.I. assigned to a case, blah blah blah, Damon Wayans girlfriend gets killed, blah blah blah, they team up, blah blah blah, corruption, action.
Darian: I wanna know what's going on! Jimmy Dix: Watch CNN. Now get out of the car.
What helps is the R rating, where these characters can swear a lot and have some viscious gun fights, and that's what I call entertainment.
(Car Explodes) Jimmy Dix: Was that C-4!?! Joe Hallenbeck: Either that, or a hell of a factory recall.
