Here are 10 roles that helped define Bruce Willis’ often-brilliant career.
Welcome to the party, pal! When a pair of Blake Edwards movies bombed with critics and audiences, it seemed like Willis would be the latest TV star destined to shrink on the big screen. Then came the hit nobody saw coming — and the most perfect action movie ever made.
They were superheroes; he was a barefoot guy in a filthy undershirt barely keeping it together. They won through brute force; he had to think his way through one life-or-death problem after another. All the elements of John McTiernan’s explosive masterpiece are in balance — including Alan Rickman’s crackling screen debut as the clever villain, Hans Gruber — but none of it works without Willis being so funny and seeming so real in the midst of this ludicrous collection of violent set pieces.
