JULY 06
The Last Boy Scout / Last Man Standing (US)
Warner Bros. | 1991-1996 | 206 mins | Rated R |
Last Boy Scout: a seedy detective and a disgraced quarterback team to dodge ambushes, fire off one-liners and bust chops. When the going gets tough, they get together. And funnier. They came to play. And to settle a score in this raging fireball where bigger is better, hits are harder and bad guys end up deader.
Last Man Standing: John Smith, an amoral gunslinger in the days of Prohibition, happens upon Jericho, Texas, which has become a ghost town since two warring gangs have 'driven off all the decent folk.' Smith sees this as an opportunity to play both sides off against each other, earning himself a nice piece of change as a hired gun.
