The Last Boy Scout
1991's The Last Boy Scout is the kind of odd couple action story screenwriter Shane Black has explored over his long career before perfecting it in Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang . The film stars Bruce Willis as down on his luck private investigator Joe Hallenbec who gets roped into a case by a colleague ( Bruce McGill ) secretly screwing his wife ( Chelsea Field ) that involves a dead stripper ( Halle Berry ), a washed-up NFL quarterback ( Damon Wayans ), and a greedy NFL owner ( Noble Willingham ).
