Trivia
With this film, Shane Black became the first writer to sell a spec script for $1 million. According to Time Magazine, he was originally offered $2.25 million by Carolco Pictures, but decided to go with Warner Brothers. He went for the lower (but record-setting) bid of $1.75 million, so that he could work with Joel Silver, who had also produced his script for Lethal Weapon. This record stood for 67 days until Carolco purchased a screenplay by Joe Eszterhas which became Basic Instinct. See more »Goofs
When Joe and Jimmy are leaving the police station, Joe pulls out a cigarette which become automatically lit in the next shot. See more »Quotes

It's been 14 years since Tony Scott's The Last Boyscout was released and it was not a major hit at the box office.
Too bad.
Still, this guilty pleasure is one of funniest action movies ever made. 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?
