WTF Happened to BRUCE WILLIS? 

What do you mean "were".

you actually think he still has the cognitive capacity to comprehend your message? thats just mean.

Kevin Smith ended up being a super douche. Cry baby ruined he man than blamed the fans.

0

yeah it was not that he stopped caring or that he was a washed up actor he was just a sick man, thank god

Sad

There's lots of people who probably still can't stop laughing thinking about him dealing with it haha, the man's a dickhead

*does not

He’s got more range than people realize…. He was great in that show moonlighting…… early ‘80s pre Die Hard.

Lol, as well as that movie “blind date.”

He has had really weird career likely due to his own decisions. It's like he knows he can pull off more interesting nuanced characters and does it now and again. But he can't help but want to do more "tough guy bad as*" movies which inevitably leads him to misjudge projects and pick some real crap scripts that end up putting him on the downswing. Especially in the last decade or so. He seems way to wrapped up in being a crotchety "tough guy". Probably doesn't help that it's all he's done for awhile now and it's his legit real life personality, so those are the only roles he gets offered anymore.

Because of his voice

Like with Unbreakable or The siete sense

Exaclty, a bit cheesy but fun

And he never meets gary Oldman

@@eddead4235 Good point

And one of the greatest character actors of all time. Brion James RIP

@@Locadel2003 Cheesy but good cheesy. Not cringeworthy cheesy.

Bruce gave the characters realism.

Exactly. The entire cast was perfect. I watch it today and bring back all the great memories of the 1980s! Way to go Bruce!

Agreed. It’s in my top five too

You have poor taste

That’s how I felt first time I saw the matrix and The first Lethal weapon.

He is notorious for shadow directing.

I think Wes Anderson is doing alright, and he directed Bruce on Moonrise Kingdom.

Yea a stupid and useless skill if you never want to act again. These actors sabotage their own careers they think they are making some kind of statement, but no one cares and they end never acting in this town again. They forget the everyone is replaceable, fact.

He is very difficult to work with to as several actors and directors said they would never work with him again particularly Richard Gere hated Willis when worked together on The Jackal and Director Kevin Smith said working said something along the line that working with him was destruction to the soul and would never work with him again.

@@scottknode898 I found out everything I needed to know about him when he did an interview for BBC Radio 1 a few years ago to promote a movie. The DJ even had to explain before they played the recording that they are aware that for a celebrity to sit in a hotel room all day long doing long strings of press interviews to promote movies can be exhausting and boring for them so to try and lighten their day they always go into the interview with a set of questions that are fun and have almost nothing to do with the movie at all. The celebrities usually get it immediately and are really thankful to not have to answer the same questions over and over. Anyway they played the interview, he seemed completely uninterested. They tried to make him laugh, he didn’t take the bait. They tried to get him to have some fun, again, no dice. Afterwards the guy who interviewed him said yeah he was NOT in a good mood. He said the second I walked through the door he was like “oh god not another one”. But that’s not the most frustrating part. So usually with a celebrity interview, just before we leave we ask them very kindly for a quick soundbite for the station. Usually we just get them to say something short like I’m Bruce Willis and whenever I’m in the UK I listen to BBC Radio 1 or whatever. They’re always happy to do it because they’re advertising whatever it is they’re trying to sell for free on our show. Well this is what happened when we asked Bruce for a soundbite... “Just before we go could we ask a huge favour and get you to quickly quote a soundbite for us into a mic?” *Bruce, very seriously: “Sure. That’ll be a million dollars.” (At this point the interviewer is audibly uncomfortable and makes a lighthearted joke about maybe doing the recording first and negotiating the money later. “Nope. You want me to advertise your radio show you gotta pay me a million dollars. Cut the cheque, I’ll say whatever you want”. Jesus, the guy was the biggest douchebag ever to walk the planet. I think he turned a lot of people against him that day because they were NOT nice about him at all and their (national) breakfast show was easily the most listened to radio show in the whole of the UK at the time. They would regularly pull in like 6 or 7 million listeners on an average day. chrismoyles.net/soundvault/soundvault.php?fileid=1412

Yes it did.

Awesome movie. Sam Jackson and Jeremy Irons were also good in it.

Agreed. Usually overlooked too.

“The black man is walking towards me”

@@silvervalleystudios2486 I think Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson needs to do one more Die Hard movie before they retire.

Was my favourite action movie as a kid

Just watched it on Netflix 👌🔥

I watched it and it was actually very boring, not much action

Me too! I also really like Last Man Standing... It always reminds me of the game Mafia. Ooh, and let's not forget Christopher Walken (one of my all-time Favorite actor) - I loved his portrayal of an unhinged madman, shooting everything simply if someone gave him a wrong look haha... And I like the slow pace of the movie too; nowadays, movies are so fast-paced and bloated with CGI that it's absolutely disgusting... For me, the ultimate cinematography era is from the mid-70s up until the end of the 90s (not only for American movies, but also for European movies as well as the Soviet movies too) - BAR NONE!

Agreed! Loooooove how stylized the whole thing was. Also, the movie it's based on ("A Fistful of Dollars") is also amazing.

Segal was never really that good of an actor...and Cage has tax problems...so I kinda understand those two...Willis...he just started giving no fucks

Nicholas Cage is like if Johnny from Airplane had a cocaine addiction.

@@thecunninlynguist segal looks like leather face

Bruce Willis & Nicolas Cage are better better actors than Steven Seagal.

sadly jean claude has gone the same way with his movies

He doesn't care. He doesn't have too. The video summed it up or at least Bruce Willis did. He's become lethargic and lazy. He's done these action roles 100 times over. Wether serious or spoofed. When he has a good role he puts in the effort, when it's just pay check after pay check, he's literally checked out. I hate seeing him in movies that are straight up trash. I won't watch them. It's clearly evident he doesn't care about them so why should i and that's the point.

@olskool71 Or do what Paul Hogan did just do a film that he liked every 3-4 years?

Sean Connery was 65 when he made The Rock and he was fantastic in that. Willis just takes the fun out of every movie he's in post Sixth Sense. Possible exceptions are Looper and the Wes Anderson films he's in.

He has vowed to quit action movies several times and came close to escaping the action hero stereotype when he did The Sixth Sense but he always returned to action movies.

@olskool71 Jack Nicholson did not want to retire actually. He was having trouble remembering his lines. Hackman just decided to step out of the spotlight, like Sean Connery. In fact on the last installment of Indiana Jones they offered Connery a boat load of money, more than even Ford at the time to come back. He said that if there was any movie that could bring him out of retirement one last time, it is Indiana Jones, however retirement is just too much dam fun.

He only works one day per movie, so it's not to get out of the house. The paycheck is probably it.

Yea, that is why he gave up on Hollywood, he realized what it has become, and he probably wants no part of their insanity anymore.

It will be a sad sad day when Scorsese and Tarantino retire

@@jeffreymcgillivray5408 Hollywood. Full of millennials remaking classic great movies rather than creating anything new, inserting as many virtual signals and box ticking as they can thereby destroying anything that actually made the original great. I used to go to the movies every week 5-6 years ago. Last 6 years there’s barely a movie that has raised my interest.

@@andyrob3259 why are you guys acting like there are no good films anymore when that’s not the truth. There many great films being made. There will always be great movies directors and actors forever. Maybe blockbuster movies are shit sure I mean a lot of em are just remakes and shit. But there’s a lot of small independent films that are really really fucking good

Yeah it’s funny Bruce is the big man until he’s put in the position of having the chance to work with a truly great director who he admires and then he’s like a puppy who tries really hard

@@j74s98 well, I like Kill Bill and Reservoir Dogs (a little bit of Pulp Fiction) but about the others ... nah

Thats not ego. Thats a fact 😍

@@sam_the_man Considering Pulp was supposed to go to Rourke, Bruce is damned lucky to have been cast. I love his performance, but the guy seems like an unprofessional ass.

@@essecara3275 We all have our "taste" I guess, lol.

Yeah, it's especially tough for these guys who've become associated with almost entirely with action roles. Willis has done impressive work in "non-genre" movies, it's true.... But these non-genre roles were mostly in flicks that have gone largely unseen

This. Folks just don't understand the business of Hollywood. I won't go into it in detail, but basically, we know who a lot of these A-List actors like Bruce WIllis are because of their work in 80's and 90's Mid-Budget films. These movies made so much money because they cost so little to make--well, so little to make compared to Tentpole films. Willis has a few hits in that category post 2000: Hostage and 16 Blocks comes to mind. Hostage was him doing his normal thing. But 16 Blocks--this video doesn't do it justice. He actually plays against type in that film. He's actually trying in that one. Bruce Willis should see about making a move to an Amazon series or something if he wants to get that sort of thing back. He maybe doesn't want to put in the work, though. He has nothing else to prove. That said, I'd love to see him play something like a Columbo or a Perry Mason. Not those exactly. Just something like that. It would be good for him in his Twilight years.

But not many had the same range as Willis did or the ability to branch out in to other genres. Arnie did some comedy, but drama was never his thing. Sly did some drama and shines as a writer, but I never saw much from him on the comedy front. Wills showed he didn't need to be type cast as an action hero, but kept taking the paychecks from roles that made him appear that he could only do one thing.

Liam Nesson still does small budget to mid budget films that are released in theatres.

Stallone is from Bruce's era but he seems to have maintained enough studio power to pursue his own projects.

Dutch scientists have determined that Wednesday is the best day to Die Hard.

I second that, perhaps when all his movies currently in post-production have come out?

He isn't dying.

@@jackbrown4120 who said he was? Idiot

@@jackbrown4120 Aphasia is only a symptom of what is likely early onset Alzheimer's/Frontotemporal Dementia. As sad as it is, he is likely dying.

Joe Hallenbeck !!!

Last Boyscott is a go to from his collection and him and Keenan Ivory Wayne's were both at the height of their career and you can feel the mutual push back.

I tried to like boy scout and loved the trailer. I just did not feel for it. So sad.

Shan Howerton no worries it’s just like a lethal weapon rip off with the music and wannabe gritty setting still love it

"Just once I want to hear you scream." "Play some rap music?" I think "Last Boyscout" and "Hudson Hawk" are two of my favourites. I must have seen them a dozen times each.

"It's ok... It's ok...". Then they proceeded to the other trailer. Was it? :D

And Last Man Standing

Watch THERE WILL BE BLOOD

He was born grumpy, dear lord...

He got married and has two more daughters. His first wife lives close by, and everyone gets along. They all live in Idaho, most of the time. Must not be too grumpy.

@@lindah5011 I stand by my comment grumpy old man plus they say he's hard to work with.

Sounds like a remake of a movie of the same name “grump old men”

The guy got old. I am 45 and I feel tired and old.

Nice..

Internet Tough Guy The 5th one sucks but the rest are good.

@@MrHuck i didnt like the 2nd one much either, i mean it was ok but its one of the weaker entries imo.....the 1st and 3rd are awsome and 4th and 2nd was decent....yeah dont get me started with 5🤢

The first 3 Die Hards are all great.

@@stavros693000 First and third are my two faves as well!

up until about 5 minutes ago I thought the 4th Die Hard was the bomb that killed the franchise...I had no idea they made another one that by the looks of it...finally did it in. I think ill just stop watching them at Die Hard With a Vengeance and think of it as a great trilogy.

I'm sure you've watched it by now. It sucks.

Sad but it really does

As a union employee, I applaud his sentiment.

So a die hard 3 staff meeting kicked off.....lets put willis car into a mess....the best you could do,,,was spit...and urine....lol...he probably didnt even notice it.....In Ireland......he wouldnt find his car.

He was probably right, though. Unions always screw things up.

At least you can order your own food still

@@abubaca2683 "I wonder why nobody likes unions"

You are wrong. What about Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Denzel Washington, mark whalberg, Tom Cruise, Liam neeson, will smith, brad Pitt, Adam Sandler, Jackie chan, Robert Downey jr, Harrison Ford, Morgan Freeman they are still around with good movies and performances

@@Locadel2003 I can't agree that all of these actors are still killing it but there is one you missed, Anthony Hopkins, who has aged like a fine wine and never fails to deliver.

@@Ausare911 I feel like Hopkins hasn't aged since SOTL.

Unless you're handsome and are Tom Cruise.

The best.

Very tricky with that accent Hans. You ought to be on f%&*#n TV with that accent.

I'd say the 00's...he still had that BW charm up to the late 90's

What about looper and moonrise kingdom of 2012🤔

I read recently that Bruce Willis became a bitter a-hole because he wanted more from his career, he also wanted to be a singer besides an actor. After Hudson Hawk (which I don't think is that bad) there was a change on him. Now he just doesn't care anymore, in fact I think he ruins the movies he is in.

@@ViktorKruger99 I don't see how he could have wanted more, he was one of the biggest actors at the time.

looper

Lol

Try spell checking your work next time.

?

Wasn’t he the bad guy in Iron Man 2? Ivan Yanko I think

@@Jammermaker Yea (Vanko) and other "recent" stuff he was the satan in Dead in Tombstone. Surprisingly good modern western.

Marlboro Man with Don J!

@@Jammermaker no

I remember really liking "Mortal Thoughts" although I haven't seen it since it landed on VHS. The cast were great.

Me too. I was wondering where it fell in the time line of his career.

Great flick.

That was probably his best acting

me too I love the hell out of that movie and Bruce Willis is one of my all time favorite actors..I don't think 12 monkeys is my favorite from him but it never gets old..I remember first seeing it when I was 11 in 96 and it confused the hell out of me but I'm a sucker for time travel and I kept watching it over and over and finally when I was like 23 I began to understand it..mostly at least..some things I'm still confused about

She’s wonderful

"You just got to have a little faith."

One of my Bruce Willis fav role.

He finally made Jack Black shout up.

@@mitch45ac that shook me tbh, I wasn't ready for that

Oh yeah, he certainly did. Very good performance!

Bruce Willis is hot. He is so man. And he has one of the sexiest voice ive ever heard

Nah, not really. Die Hard, Predator and at a stretch Die Hard 3.

Agreed, He's No Bronson, but He did a Great Job on Death Wish

It was awful and so was his performance

@@grahamjackmacpherson6501 You right. Actors like Willis think all people are like those 2 airheads who think Willis die hard is good. Damn that was shitty remake!

She got old and is not as pretty anymore. Never had any talent other than sex appeal.

oh please no dont do it, shes a bitch prima donna that cant act for shit and thinks she is hot bcoz perverts like her. she isnt sexy and is a know it all plus she wants to rule the scenes in every movie they put her in. as i said she is a bitch but cant even play that part good enough in movies so she dulls the movies she is in.

@@weedmastersr maaaan, she was so gorgeous in THE MASK

Protector of the Republic She also retired to be a mom, and she wrote a health book.

She's worth $140 million and is currently an author after writing for InStyle for a few years.

the first one is nowhere near perfect, but it still a enjoyable guilty pleasure fleck. the second one though was a boring atrocious crap, Dwyane Johnson highjacked that movie. the only good thing about the second one was Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow's acting (that dude is fucking badass, and he genuinely cares about the character he is playing. seriously whenever they will make a Gi Joe reboot, they should definitely bring him back to play SS)

@@v-trigger6137 yeah I thought I was the only one I'm not a big fan of the second one either but Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow performances were very good.

Lynchian Enigma He would probably hate Raimi for being ‘weird’. And funny thing, he HAS worked with Tarantino, and I think it was pretty well-known and covered in this video, and was the top film that year called Pulp Fiction so maybe check that one out.

+1

Same here. Great combination of action and black comedy. Bunny....ball ball
