Video Retrospective: Bruce Willis’ 10 Worst Films
5. The Jackal
Tagline: How do you stop an assassin who has no identity?
This remake of the classic The Day of the Jackal should have been called The Day of the Jackass. When Matthew McConaughey turns down a role to be in your film, you’re in serious trouble.
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 13%
4. Striking Distance
Tagline: They shouldn’t have put him in the water, if they didn’t want him to make waves.
3. Blind Date
Tagline: “Do you recognize me? I used to be a respectable citizen. I had a good job and a promising future. I made only one mistake – I went on a blind date. …Anyone got $10,000 for bail?”
Were Bruce and Kim Bassinger blind when they read this script? Their bail should have been set at $10,000 just for making this tacky rom-com rubbish.
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 23%
2. The Whole Ten Yards
Tagline: They missed each other. This time, their aim is better.
I’ll tell you who’s aim was not better — the screenwriter’s. Sure, Bruce and Matthew Perry had some chemistry, but, hey, so do I and the checkout girl at Whole Foods. Big deal.
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 4%
1. Hudson Hawk
Tagline: Catch the excitement. Catch the laughter. Catch the Hawk.
Catch the laughter alright. Pair this script with Andie MacDowell as a co-star and you have the flop of your filmography. The only thing Hudson Hawk stole was Bruce’s dignity.

I liked Surrogates. Not a great movie by any means, but not terrible. In fact, it isn’t good either. But it doesn’t deserve to be on this list, not when Live Free or Die Hard is out there.
OMG it’s so funny that you did this list. My boyfriend and I were watching Alpha Dog las night, that needs to be added to this. It was HORRIBLE!!!
My boyfriend was determined there were no bad movies made by Bruce Willis. Well this list is proof that I won that argument! YAY! by the way by the end of the movie he agreed that Alpha Dog is extremely lame!
Wow. Your trippin hard. Lucky Number Slevin, The Jackal, and Surrogates are good flicks. I hope this is based off of Box Office sales. Or maybe its just another internet list that doesn’t have enough to fill it up and just adds some filler.
Worst Case Scenario: He’s crying all the way to the Bank.
How could not have “The Bonfire of the Vanities” on this list? It was the 90′s version of “Ishtar”.
Anyone who puts a good film like Hudson Hawk on a “worst film” list clearly got their information from someone else’s list. Your sketchy rationale for each of these films indicates a lack of commitment to this medium. Please try harder.
Man, I must be the only person in the world that loves Hudson Hawk.
Seriously…you put Surrogates on this list? Was it the greatest…no but it was a decent, fun flick. You needed to add Last Man Standing…that is the absolute worst thing Bruce Willis has had any involvment in.
