Very good transfer of a very good movie... don't mind "The Last Boy Scout",
By
This review is from: Last Boy Scout & Last Man Standing [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Considering "The Last Man Standing" is a very good movie with good acting, good storyline and great execution, even if you buy it for that movie alone, it's all worth it. Add those to a great transfer of an old movie, it's an amazing value for your dollar.

2 Underrated Classics For Action Fans,
By Chris "takethekman" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Last Boy Scout & Last Man Standing [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
2 of my most favorite guilty pleasures are only better on blu ray(duh....); Both are films that generally went overlooked in many ways w/the exception of the fanbases for each; Boyscout def has the edge humor-wise(an actual great 'buddy' picture....Damon Wayans is very funny, & Shane Black can write a wicked screenplay....), but visually, Last Man Standing has the edge. Detailed and crisp, it is how this movie was made to be seen. And the gun sounds are even more amazing here. Walter Hill has generally been overlooked as a filmmaker I think, and while some people thought this was a little 'slow', I had no problem w/the pacing. Ry Cooder scores this movie perfectly too...This is a great disc of 2 classic, lesser seen Bruce Willis movies, each of which contain lots and lots of welcome familiar faces. I know many times these 'double feature' discs stick a lemon w/something decent, but in this case(in my opinion...), you kill 2 birds with one stone...2 modern 'classics' on one! Now if they can only find something to pair The Long Kiss Goodnight up with..... 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful

The movie is great, and the picture quality is excellent.,

This review is from: Last Boy Scout & Last Man Standing [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This Blu-Ray transfer is excellent! Years ago, when I bought The Last Boyscout on DVD, I was very disappointed. The picture quality was horrible. It was very grainy. It was better to just watch it on a VHS tape. The DVD quality was that bad. (If you ever bought The Last Boyscout on DVD, you know what I'm talking about!) So, I'm glad that this Blu-Ray edition of The Last Boyscout finally gives the movie justice in terms of picture quality.The movie itself -- if you are a Bruce Willis fan, or an action fan in general, and for whatever reason that you haven't watched this yet -- go buy this movie! It's an excellent action movie that I have watched over and over! 11 of 14 people found the following review helpful

Willis Double Header,
By Dr. James Gardner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Last Boy Scout & Last Man Standing [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This double bill (just like in the old days) features Bruce Willis with two of his 1990s hits, "Last Boy Scout" (1991) and "Last Man Standing" (1996). The films share not only Bruce and the word "last" in the title but they also share the 90s style action film genre."Last Boy Scout" is the better of the pair, a 5 star flick, with good action, some of the snappiest dialogue you'll ever hear in films, a cute little girl who steals the show, and an over-the-top ending filled with death, destruction, and fireworks. There's even a little sex, with such hot ladies as Halle Berry and Chelsea Field. Add to that some great performances from Bruce Willis, his partner Damon Wayans, Danielle Harris as Willis' little girl, Noble Willingham as Wayans' sleazy ex-boss, and Taylor Negron as the dangerous Mr. Milo. Really - a classic 5 star flick that shouldn't be missed. "Last Man Standing" is a remake of Yojimbo, one of the best films ever. Japanese and American films are often interchangeable, as we see from "The Seven Samaruai" (1954) and "The Magnificent Seven" (1960) or from "Rashomon" (1950) to "Outrage" (1964), but this works best when the remake is a Western as the gun slinger is more compatible with the samurai. Thus the Yojimbo remake as "A Fistfull of Dollars" was a better version of Yojimbo than the current film, "Last Man Standing." If "Last Man Standing" is not as good as "Yojimbo" or "A Fistfull of Dollars" it nonetheless has its compelling moments. Good performances from Bruce Dern as a corrupt Sheriff and Christopher Walken as an assassin help the rather dour plot, but Willis' personality, copied from Mifune and Eastwood, just doesn't work when the film is transplanted into Prohibition. Think of this package as getting a great film with an OK film thrown in. My 5 star rating is for "Boy Scout" and I'd have to give "Last Man Standing" a 3. |
