Talk:The Last Boy Scout

Untitled

I'm pretty sure the Last Boy Scout doesn't hold the "fuck" record any more... anybody care to count the number of times it is used in Boondock Saints? Marcika 15:23, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Overtones of misogyny?

I'm removing this; it has nothing to do with the movie and smells ranting.

Trivia

I moved the trivia section here as it is unsourced and a list basically copied directly from the Internet Movie Database. Once this info can be cited correctly, it should be placed back in the article.--J.D. (talk) 13:47, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

• Shane Black became the first screenwriter to sell a spec script for $1 million.
• The movie that Joe’s daughter Darian is watching on TV is Lethal Weapon, which was also written by Shane Black.
• In the original script, the entire third act was set on water. Hallenbeck’s grudge with senator Baynard was completely different from the movie. Hallenbeck was working security for the Baynard family when Louis Baynard, Senator Baynard’s son, kills a mother and her child in a drunken car accident. When Hallenbeck refuses to cover for the senator’s son, they plant half a kilo of crack cocaine in his house. Louis Baynard was also a villain in the script, and in the end both he (and his father) dies.

Pure rumor (like drunken rants at conventions and such) has also stated that this point is also the sequel script. Whether or not that's true is beyond me. I've never come across anything written myself. I'm also not going to break into the WB script vault and troll through microfilm looking for either the original script nor the supposed sequel. Easiest way to confirm? Talk to Shane Black! Coffee4binky (talk) 17:38, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

• Quentin Tarantino has declared himself a fan of The Last Boy Scout.
• Bill Medley sings “Friday Night Is a Great Night for Football” on the opening and closing credits parodying Hank Williams Jr's Monday Night Football intro.
• This was comic Eddie Griffin’s film debut.
• Martial Artist and creator of Tae-Bo, Billy Blanks, appears as Billy Cole in the opening sequence.
• Composer Michael Kamen hated the film when he first saw it. He only scored the film out of his personal friendships to Bruce Willis and Joel Silver.
• Bruce Willis's personal motto in the film is Be Prepared, which is the same as the Boy Scouts Of America.

Why the title?

Well? The article doesn't tell me. Be nice if it did. I'll bet I'm not the only one curious. Anyone know? HiLo48 (talk) 08:02, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Continuity Point

Would not a mention of a fairly major continuity problem be added? In the scene near the end as the lead hero pair are in discussion with the leading protagonist in his office, he gets up from behind his desk to go to a mini fridge to remove a bottle of water which he subsequently has, does not have, then has again in the following cuts in the scene. This possibly would belong in "Trivia" since there has not been any recommendation for a continuity heading for film page format. Quisizyx (talk) 04:08, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
