He had some dead pan funny moment in The 5th Element.
When they card me at the booze store I say “I got hats old enough to drink.” if I’m annoyed, “I got underwear old enough to drink , wanna see?”
I think his strength is that he seems like he can be killed, unlike Schwartznegger who seems unbeatable in movies. Even though part of me knows they'll never kill Willis when he's playing the good guy, the other part is worrying about him being killed off before he gets the bad guys.
Age jokes as a given, Willis has a bunch more movies in him, action movies at that! The idea of prepared, trained, older folk getting it done is reassuring.
Reds was great,
Most rules have their exception: "Armageddon." Sometimes you get the asteroid, sometimes the asteroid gets you.
I personally thought the last Die hard was as good as the first. Was funny and lots of action. I hoped there would be a sequel to it.

Same here, I’ll be there opening day.
I used to love Moonlighting with Bruce Willis.
Funny...’Moonlighting’ is the reason I absolutely REFUSED to see the first ‘Die Hard’ movie...

Glad you came around ...
I was a mere lad of 46 when I saw the first “Die Hard” in one of those big old-fashioned movie theaters in Buenos Aires. I’ve seen the movie probably 15 times and I enjoy it more every time. Very definitely NOT a chick flick.
