Bruce needs to reprise his Joe Hallenbeck...


One of the most overlooked Greatest Characters of All-Time...

The Last Boy Scout was kind of considered by most to be a formula action flik... but it was much more... It was a hard-boiled detective story... worthy of Bogart... or a modern day Bogart... like Bruce Willis.

We need a sequel... but drop the buddy trappings and make it a total noir with Bruce cracking wise throughout.

Agreed,needs Shane Black for the script too

reply

True... and after seeing Kiss Kiss Bang Bang... if Tony Scott doesn't want to direct... let Shane Black direct it as well.

reply

Great sentiments by all the previous posters. I agree with this idea 200%. Shane Black is just getting back into the game and what a great thing it would be for him to create a whole new story with Joe Hallenbeck. This needs to happen!

Dalton and Craig! Accept NO substitutes!

I'm up for it.

And Kiss Kiss Bang Bang really surprised me, it was excellent.

RIP Tony Scott.... what a shame. It's unfortunate he didn't get as much respect as a talent as his brother... I always enjoyed Tony's films more... especially The Last Boyscout and True Romance.

reply

Oh yes, that would be great. Bring back Marlon Wayans, it'd be pretty awesome.

To him mercy is passion With me it is good manners.You may judge which motive is more reliable

reply

It's actually Damon in movie, but I agree. He and Bruce were a great team.

Great idea.. It opens when: Hollenbecks daughter starts dating this guy who goes to her college or at her job. Turns out he is Milo's nephew. When Sarah goes to pick darian up she's told her her bf took her home. While on a job,Joe gets a phone call from jimmy saying he thought he just saw darian in some guys car but Joe said she's....OK your turn..
