Video Retrospective: Bruce Willis’ 10 Worst Films
It’s hard not to like Bruce Willis. For example, look at the way he handles a young pretty boy actor drilling his ex-wife, Demi Moore.
“Hey, Ashton, uh, Kutch, Kooch, Coochie — what’s up, young fella? Naw, I’m fine. Go ahead and pork my ex-wife. Sure, she’s 10 times hotter now then she was while I was with her, but I’m Bruce Willis. You’re that shaggy, scrawny kid from Dude Where’s My Car. Take care of her and have fun with those tweets, twats, whatever. See ya, pal. Gotta date with the entire Victoria’s Secret catalog.”
Bruce just seems cool. He’s the Brett Favre of Hollywood, minus all the crybaby B.S. of the past couple years. Then again, between his brand new flop, Cop Out, and his douchy comments about the Die Hard series that placed him on the A-list, Bruce is suddenly a little less likable. No more Bruce Googles.
Now that we’ve taken our rose-colored Bruce Willis glasses off, let’s be honest here — this guy has made just as many bombs as actors like John Travolta and Nicolas Cage. Sure, he’s made some great films: 12 Monkeys. Pulp Fiction. The Die Hard series, or at least most of it. The Sixth Sense. But for every hit he’s made, he’s starred in at least one bomb.
Here’s a look at the very worst of those Bruce Willis bombs…
10. Lucky Number Slevin
Tagline: Wrong Time. Wrong Place. Wrong Number.
Who in the hell thought it was a good idea to waste Ben Kingsley and Morgan Freeman in a Pulp Fiction ripoff starring Josh freakin’ Hartnett. It’s real number is two, because this was one big, fat Hollywood dump.
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 51%
9. Look Who’s Talking Too
Tagline: Mikey’s back and about to face his biggest challenge…his new baby sister.
This one was a bigger flop than Kirstie Alley off the high dive. Now, of course, not back in 1990. Sure, Bruce was just a voice actor, but he had as many lines as anybody in this unnecessary sequel.
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 9%
8. Sunset
Tagline: They broke every rule, loved every woman, took every risk and solved the most shocking murder in the history of Beverly Hills. And it’s all true. Give or take a lie or two.
Wyatt Earp was rolling over in his grave when this one dropped, as this is hands down the worst film ever made about the legendary lawman. It’s not even close.
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 17%
7. Surrogates
Tagline: How do you save humanity when the only thing that’s real is you?
If you thought I, Robot and S1m0ne blew, then this is one movie you will never want to see. It’s like they tried to combine Minority Report and the Sims. Plus, another bad hair piece for Bruce. Awful.
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 39%
6. Perfect Strangers
Tagline: How Far Would You Go To Keep A Secret?
Pages: 1 2
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.
