Why the Bruce Willis action film The Last Boy Scout is still a blast 08/26/2024

“Tony Scott: Maestro of Mayhem!” concludes TONIGHT with The Last Boy Scout (1991) starring Bruce Willis, Damon Wayans, and Halle Berry.

Willis is Joe Hallenbeck, a disgraced Secret Service agent turned private eye. Wayans is Jimmy Dix, a former quarterback who washed out of professional football and pops pills to forget the pain he’s in. When a murder forces the two men to team up, they discover a deadly conspiracy involving corrupt politicians, st*****rs, blackmail, sports gambling, and more. Written by Shane Black (creator of Lethal Weapon), The Last Boy Scout stands as one of the great neo-noirs, featuring terrific performances from Willis and Wayans, amazing stunt work, a killer sense of humor, and gorgeous cinematography that captures Los Angeles in all its beautiful, seedy glory.

“Tony Scott: Maestro of Mayhem!” continues TONIGHT with Revenge (1990).

Kevin Costner stars as retired U.S. Navy aviator Jay Cochran, who travels south of the border to spend time with his crime lord friend, Tibey Mendez (played by the great Anthony Quinn). Jay falls for Tibey’s wife Miryea (Madeline Stowe) and the two carry on a covert affair. Nothing remains a secret, though, and Tibey kidnaps Miryea, leaving Jay for dead in the desert. The aviator won’t be kept down and soon begins taking out Tibey’s army in a desperate mission to find Miryea. Mega-fan Quentin Tarantino called Revenge, “ […] Tony Scott’s masterpiece. When Tony directed my first script True Romance, I’d tell everyone proudly, ‘The man who made Revenge is making my movie.’"
