I recently watched Die Hard and Last Boy Scout (unestimated film).

I started to remember old Willis' films and in more our less each film ANNOYING BLACK GUY? Is this written into Bruce's contract?

Some might say that Willis is an annoying white guy...

Stubbs
I only know 2 movies where an annoying black guy plays. Die Hard, and Die Hard 3.

5th Element, Unbrakeable, Die Hard 1 (limo driver) 2 (airport security) 3 (Sam J) and Last boy Scout alone spring to mind

Willis can't act but he's action through and through!

Stubbs
The 4th Die Hard movie is coming out. Die Hard. 4.0 :-l

You could say that for any filmstar in the world.

Maybe Bruce Willis says he always wants a black guy in his movies and you are the one who interprets them as annoying. That would make you the racist big grin.

Afterall, I didn't find Jackson annoying in Unbreakable.

I don't know if it's racist to say they're annoying or not (though you'd be testing the odds that they really are), but if Bruce Willis is the star, his "buddy" is going to be somewhat annoying, if that's what you mean.

I agree with 5th element. Chris Tucker hammed it up bigtime... but what guy in DHII? The short black dude? I thought he kicked ass, personally. Sam Jackson was the "buddy" in 3, and yeah, he kind of got on my nerves too.

I don't know if you can call all of them annoying, I have noticed he has usually had a lot of black co-stars in films, I don't think theres anything wrong with that of course but it is a little strange to see so many films where he has.

Maybe because some black people can act? eek!

Imagine that people!

I'm well aware black people can act thanks. So feel free to stop this "everyones being racist but me" tone to your posts.

He accidentally did well in one movie, and you mention him by Mos Def and Samuel L. Jackson?

That's not my tone, I'm just standing up for Bruce.

I don't understand.

Do you mean Mos and Sam aren't as good? Or the other way around?

forumcrew
