''The Last Boy Scout'' is a 1991 action film starring [[Bruce Willis (Creator)]] as a former Secret Service agent, now working as a private detective, and Damon Wayans as a retired professional football player. The two join forces to solve the murder of Wayans' character’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. Classic example of [[Better Than It Sounds|better than it sounds.]]
