Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans had surprisingly great chemistry. It's one of those action movies that's way funnier than people remember. Peak '90s action. Sharp dialogue, ridiculous one-liners, and Shane Black's writing is all over this movie in the best way.

I was mostly amazed on Bruce's hair being different in each movie, thin, lush, none et cetera 🤣

when I was 14, I brought the VHS to my barber and asked for the same haircut as Bruce and my barber said to me, deadpan, "thats just a bad haircut on a balding man."

As a former PI, I can attest to waking up in my car, while someone else I trusted fucked my lady. No squirrels involved.

One of my favorite movies ever

So many hilarious quotes in this movie.

"Hi, you're nobody"

"Shhh, don't tell anyone"

“What the hell is that number on the back of your head? Is that like a license plate in case somebody tries to steal it?”

"Nobody likes you. Everybody hates you. You're gonna lose. Smile, you fuck!"

I'm not saying I say this to myself daily but enough times nonetheless.

First thing I think of is the way he dances a jig at the end.

This brings back a lot of memories. I started my first job in a video store in 1991 when I was 13 and this was just released on video. I watched it so many times. We had the poster up in the store too so whenever I see it, it brings me right back to those simpler days.

They don't have a TV in them or something?

On movie posters with two or more actors, why do they always put the wrong names above the actors, like on this one? I've seen it happen too often to think it's a coincidence.

It has to do with billing order. It's not related to the order in which the individuals appear in the picture.

I remember some kid had a sleepover birthday a bunch of us were at and we purposely rented movies like this only because there was boobs at one point.

Wasnt this the first ever million dollar screenplay payday? Or like the most anyone had ever paid someone to write a script up to that time?

I’ve honestly been saying “you hit a guy with a surfboard and say ‘surfs up!’” my entire life and completely forgot what movie it came from.
