Bruce Willis Trivia

1. In 1988, Bruce Willis played a NYC cop named John McClane, but in what movie?

From Quiz Bruce Willis Characters

Answer: Die Hard

In "Die Hard," NYC police officer McClane (Willis) flew to Los Angeles to spend Christmas with his estranged wife and children. He went directly to his wife's office where a Christmas party was taking place, and before you could say "Yippee-Ki-Yay!" he found himself trying to prevent a group of seeming terrorists (who turned out to be nothing more than foreign thieves) from taking the staff and company executives hostage. Willis scored a quadrifecta (I made that word up) with the original and three sequels in the John McClane franchise: "Die Hard" (1988), "Die Hard 2: Die Harder" (1990), "Die Hard With a Vengeance" (1995); and "Live Free or Die Hard" (2007).

From Quiz Who's That With Bruce Willis?

Answer: Damon Wayans

"The Last Boy Scout" was directed by Tony Scott, who was famous for his action films including "Top Gun", "True Romance" and "Enemy of the State", to name just three. In "The Last Boy Scout", Bruce Willis plays one of his typical underdog heroes; in this case Joe Hallenbeck, a disgraced Secret Service agent who finds himself investigating a sports gambling scam involving a corrupt senator. Damon Wayans plays a former American Football quarterback whose stripper girlfriend is murdered when she tries to blackmail the senator, and who finds himself reluctantly involved with Willis's investigation. The film is often praised for the rapport between Wayans and Willis, although reportedly they didn't get on well on set.

Answer: The Sixth Sense

Child Psychologist Crowe was shot in his home by a former client who sobbed that Crowe had let him down; he hadn't helped him. After shooting his former therapist, the young man turned the gun on himself. Crowe then spent the rest of the film treating a little boy with similar psychological issues in the hope of shaking off his demons, so to speak. The little boy's problem? He sees ghosts. Did you see Bruce's cameo in "Oceans Twelve" where he chatted up Julia Roberts (playing Tess Ocean, pretending to be Julia Roberts -- if you can follow that) about how many people had come up to him claiming they knew he was dead (in "Sixth Sense") long before the surprise ending? Yeah, right.

From Quiz Who's That With Bruce Willis?

Answer: Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn

"Death Becomes Her" was directed by Robert Zemeckis, between "Back to the Future III" and "Forrest Gump". Bruce Willis stars as Dr. Ernest Melville, a plastic surgeon who is desired by two rival women, played by Streep and Hawn. To win his affection, both women take a magic potion which rejuvenates them, as well as granting them eternal life. This enables them to survive both accidents and murder attempts (involving special effects that were advanced for their time). At the film's climax, they try to persuade Willis's doctor to take the potion as well, ensuring he will always be around to repair their bodies, but he wisely refuses and escapes.

From Quiz Bruce Willis Characters

Answer: Look Who's Talking

Starring Kirstie Alley ("Mollie") and John Travolta ("James"), "Look Who's Talking" was Bruce's first voice-only film credit. This cute comedy's plot revolved around a single mother's desire that her love-child (Mikey) know his father (a married client of hers) or at least have a father-figure Mikey could look up to. Cab driver-pilot James entered the picture and despite his attempts to woo the new mother, the cabbie-pilot was relegated to babysitter for Mikey. James and Mikey got along so well that, as a baby then as a toddler, Mikey did all he could to push his mommy towards James and away from his biological father (George Segal). Mikey's thoughts as voiced by Willis provided most of the movie's laughs and an insight into what a baby might actually be thinking.

From Quiz Who's That With Bruce Willis?

Answer: Leonardo DiCaprio

"Pulp Fiction" was directed by Quentin Tarantino and is widely regarded as his masterpiece, and one of the best films of the 1990s. Bruce Willis plays Bruce Coolidge, a boxer who is bribed by Marcellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) to throw a fight, but chooses to win instead, and do a runner with the money that he was supposed to use to bet against himself. Needless to say, things don't go entirely to plan. Uma Thurman plays Mia Wallace, wife of Marcellus, who in a famous sequence is taken to dinner by John Travolta's hitman, Vincent Vega, where they win a dance contest. Harvey Keitel plays Winston Wolfe, a "fixer" who helps Vincent and Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) when they accidentally (and very bloodily) shoot a young man in their car. Leonardo DiCaprio was not in this film, although he later played plantation owner Calvin Candie in Tarantino's 2012 western "Django Unchained".

From Quiz Bruce Willis Characters

Answer: The Last Boy Scout

Although violent, I loved this movie for the dialog, especially between Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans. The latter played Jimmy Dix, a professional quarterback for the Dallas Stallions who had been ousted from the NFL for drug abuse. He was Joe Hallenbeck's idol until Dix "wasted his talent on coke." After Dix's girlfriend/Joe's client (Halle Berry) was killed, Dix became sidekick and second-banana (or is it "second dick"?) to Joe, who was hired to protect the dead girl and thus felt obligated to go after her killer. Taylor Negron was great as Milo, the bad guy with the sophisticated vocabulary.

From Quiz The Movies of Bruce Willis

Answer: Milla Jovovich

"The Fifth Element" stars Milla Jovovich as Leeloo, Gary Oldman as Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg, Ian Holm as Father Vito Cornelius and Chris Tucker as Ruby Rhod. It was directed by Luc Besson. The story commences in 1914 when extraterrestrials, the Mandosawans, arrive at an ancient Egyptian temple to retrieve the "Fifth Element", the only weapon that, with stones of the other four elements, earth, wind, water and fire, can defeat a "Great Evil" that appears every 5,000 years. The plot then shifts to the 23rd century when the "Great Evil" is set to return to Earth. The Mandosawans are on their way to save Earth with the Fifth Element when they are ambushed and the only thing left of the Fifth Element is a hand. Scientists use this to create a humanoid, which is a woman named "Leeloo". Leeloo escapes from the laboratory and ends up in the taxi being driven by Willis' character, Korban Dallas. It is then a race to get the five elements together to thwart evil and save mankind. Strangely in this film the hero Bruce Willis and the villain played by Gary Oldman never meet. The movie was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Effects, Sound Effects Editing. It won a BAFTA for Best Special Effects. The estimated budget was $90 million and the worldwide gross box office return was approximately $263.9 million. The movie had a special effects budget of $80 million which at that time was the highest ever for special effects. In one scene a policeman is sitting in a car waiting to be served at McDonald's restaurant. The name of the extra playing that policemen is Mac McDonald. Milla Jovovich was born in December 1975 in Kiev Ukrainian SSR. She moved with her family to London in 1980 when she was five years old. She became a model and appeared on the covers of magazines such as "The Face", "Vogue" "Seventeen", "Harper's Bazaar", "Cosmopolitan", and many others. Her first professional acting role was in the made for TV movie "The Night Train to Kathmandu" in 1988.

From Quiz Bruce Willis Characters

Answer: Striking Distance

Directed by Randy Herrington, this action thriller's tagline was "They shouldn't have put him in the water if they didn't want him to make waves." His 'wave-making' referred to his outspoken belief that a cop was responsible for multiple murders of Pittsburgh women. The women also happened to be Hardy's old girlfriends whose bodies were dumped in one of Pittsburgh's famous Three Rivers. Naturally, suspicion centered on Hardy. Sarah Jessica Parker played Jo Christman, an IAD cop assigned undercover as Hardy's partner. As most women do, she quickly succumbed to the charms of Bruce Willis's Tom Hardy, and as they became romantically involved she switched from investigating him to joining him in his investigation to find the REAL killer.
