The Last Boy Scout	comment	The Last Boy Scout is a 1991 action film, directed by Tony Scott and written by Shane Black, starring Bruce Willis as Joe Hallenbeck, a private detective and former Secret Service agent, and Damon Wayans as Jimmy Dix, a retired professional football player. The two join forces to solve the murder of Jimmy's girlfriend (played by the then-obscure Halle Berry). The entire film consists of often violent action scenes and an endless parade of one-liners.Now has a character sheet in progress.

The Last Boy Scout / int_116f6f1c	type	Self-Plagiarism
The Last Boy Scout / int_116f6f1c	comment	Self-Plagiarism: Shane Black drew from his own material: The conversation between Joe and Jimmy about the $650 pants was taken from a deleted scene in Lethal Weapon (1987). Murtaugh's daughter is wearing an expensive dress for a New Year's Eve party and he asks, "It doesn't have a little TV in it?" She says, "no" and Murtaugh mutters, "I am very old." The line "There are no more heroes in the world" appears in both movies. Confusingly enough, Jimmy watches the film on television. The line, "Your show, ace", appeared in The Monster Squad.

Then after accusing her of cheating, he aims his gun at the closet, counts to 3, and gets his wife to confess to cheating with his friend Mike Matthews (who was, naturally, in the closet). The sequence displays both his brilliant deductive reasoning and his unhinged mind.
