The Last Boy Scout
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 145 · 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.
unlabelledView 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
unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView 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

unlabelledView 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

unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView 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

unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView post →Fabulous film. In an alternate universe, this and THE LAST BOY SCOUT spawned multiple sequels. And maybe a crossover event.

unlabelledView 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.

unlabelledView 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!
unlabelledView 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.
