The Last Boy Scout

The aerial footage of the stadium of the climactic game was obviously shot during a Holiday Bowl at San Diego's Jack Murphy Stadium.

The game is supposed to be at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

When Milo and his thugs knock out Joe and then drag him to the car, right before they throw him in the door his right leg is lifting itself up.

When the quarterback throws a pass, in the background, police officers run onto the field for no apparent reason.

When Jimmy mounts the horse moments later, we again see the officers run onto the field.

When Milo wants to assassinate Baynard, his face is wet and then suddenly dry in the next shot.

Joe's cigarettes disappear and reappear between shots throughout the film.

Joe hits the thug with a bottle and the thug says, "You bastard.

" Then Joe says, "And then some," without moving his lips.

During the first shootout, Joe's pistols occasionally fire without ejecting a cartridge.

When swinging from the net during the fight with Milo, the lights Joe crashes into emit sparks before he makes contact with them.

Reference is made by both Marcone and Senator Baynard to the "Senate Commission to Investigate Gambling in Professional Sports".

Senate and House of Representatives panels are referred to as "committees"; "commissions" are special panels appointed by the President of the United States.

Wires are visible when Milo falls down and hits the helicopter.

When the red convertible goes down the hill during the chase, the windshield is alternately missing/intact between shots.

We see one of the bad guys tinkering on the piano on the background.

He seems to be tapping a key on the left of the keyboard (low note), but we hear a high note.

When Jimmy Dix shows the senator's bodyguards the "bom" picture through the window of the BMW, they shoot at him completely shattering the window.

In a subsequent shot, when Jimmy is yanking on the seat belt, you can see the window undamaged.

The senator's bodyguards shoot a single shot through the passenger window of the BMW, yet when it pulls into the parking space at the stadium and Jimmy gets out, you can see four bullet holes in the window.

When the thugs prepare to throw Jimmy Dix over the side of the bridge, they drag him to the rail facing forward.

In the next shot, he's turned around the other way and falls back-first onto the car hood.

The body of Cory's Sharkbody Corvette Stingray featured in the movie is made of fiberglass, not metal.

Any bullets would pass through it, not bounce off.

When Milo's car crashes over the roof and lands in the pool, it destroys the chimney sending bricks and other debris flying.

However, when the car lands the debris has disappeared.

When Milo's car hits the roof of the house, it clearly hits flat, and full-on.

Yet, in the next shot of the car, the car is spinning through the air, and in the final shot, the car lands upside down in the pool.

The car should land right-side-up in the pool.

Near the end of the movie, when Milo is setting up to shoot Senator Baynard, we are given two alternating out-of-sequence shots of the senator.

First, he is standing back several feet from the window with some people and a drink in hand.

In the second, he is standing next to a chest-high window with both hands on the top edge of the glass.

When we see the senator again, he is in the same standing-back shot and then again at the window.

In the beginning of the film when Jimmy throws the football at his old teammate, he clearly hits him in the forehead and he grabs his forehead, but in the next shot his nose is broken.

When Joe shoots at the limousine from the overpass he holds onto the chain-link fence with one hand.

A safety cable is visible running up the sleeve of his jacket.

When Joe pulls his gun on the kids trying to steal his watch the hammer is cocked.

When he pulls it back into the window of the car, the hammer is down in an un-cocked position.

When Joe and Jimmy are leaving the police station, Joe pulls out a cigarette which become automatically lit in the next shot.

After the first shootout, Joe puts his hands up and walks toward the arriving police cars.

In the next shot, a police officer has already miraculously appeared outside his car.

Joe takes his revolver and a Desert Eagle from the hit man in the alley, yet when he runs around the corner into the gun battle he's shooting the revolver and a Beretta 92.

A moment later, he has the Desert Eagle again.

Guns change type (and hands) throughout the scene.

When Dave is thrown off from the overpass, he falls onto the car on the road below and his red hat quickly flies off his head to the left of the screen.

In the next shot, his red hat gently falls off the hood of the car.

When Milo's car flips through the air after hitting the roof, the driver is clearly a stuntman wearing a helmet.

Bars from the roll cage are also visible inside the car.

When the camera cranes down behind Joe as he's making jokes with the Furry Tom puppet, a crew member, standing next to a ladder and other equipment is visible in the background to the right.

This has been corrected in the Blu-ray release.

When Mike's, the other PI sleeping with Joe's wife, car blows up it is an 87-90 Model year Mustang GT convertible.

When the car settles on the ground, it is revealed to be an 84-86 model year based on the front headlight and bumper design.

When Jimmy pours drinks at Joe's house, there is no ice in the glasses.

Moments later ice magically appears in both glasses.

During the shootout outside of the strip club, it is raining hard throughout and until the end of the scene.

When Jimmy kneels down next to Corey's body, however, the rain stops and restarts again to finish the scene.

During Milo's attempted assassination on the senator, the lens cap on his rifle's scope alternates from being off to on (most notably after Joe Hallenbeck throws his bag off the rig).

From the dialogue we know that the opening football game is being played at the Brown's home stadium in Cleveland, but by their uniforms, the police who run onto the pitch are clearly the same LAPD officers who feature in the later LA based game.

I can't believe that I have been waiting for such a long time to watch this movie. We had this movie on VHS at home but I never bothered watching it, I really don't know why.

OK, it's been a long time (20 years!) since this film came out...

You cant talk about underrated action flicks without mentioning The Last Boy Scout. I mean this movie came and went and stayed off the radar for a while.

After the mammoth success of Die Hard, it made sense to put Bruce Willis into a few action flicks and cash in on box office returns. A few Die Hard knockoffs followed - where he showed up to parody himself and Die Hard.

The Last Boy Scout is set in Los Angeles where Joe Hallenebeck (Bruce Willis) works as a private detective, Joe gets a call from his best friend & fellow private detective Mike Matthews (Bruce McGill) offering him a job protecting a stripper named Cory (Halle Berry). Later that morning Joe discovers that Mike is having an affair with his wife Sarah (Chelsea Field) but still accepts the job since he needs the cash, while keeping an eye on Cory he is attacked & knocked out & Cory is shot dead in front of her ex pro-football player boyfriend Jimmy Dix (Damon Wayans).

Classic 90s action film full of funny scenes and graphic violence 90s style where people get riddled with bullets. One of Bruce Willis's best and makes a good team with Wayans.

It's funny. It has relatable characters.

"The Last Boy Scout" is a heady mixture of things that work beautifully and those that really don't. For one, it's a pretty great action movie, though it's set to the tune of a sports gambling story that isn't very interesting (pfft, football).

Tony Scott's The Last Boy Scout is pure stylistic grime, an exercise in early 90's action with the blackest of humour. The tone is set with a square jaw early on: a star quarterback for a hotshot NFL team is under a lot of underground pressure to make that perfect play and in turn please the loan sharks.
