You might think the combination of Willis and Damon Wayans, with their wildly different comedic styles, would doom this action comedy. But “The Last Boy Scout” works surprisingly well, thanks in no small part to a clever script from writer Shane Black (at the time one of the most expensive screenplays ever sold, which of course meant it was endlessly re-written). This film helped restore some of Willis’ luster after the disastrous “Hudson Hawk” and is something of a cult classic today.
