Re: Die Hard 4 :-) Could never understand why Bruce Willis was such a hit. Seems like when Die Hard I(and II) Willis was the hottes Hollywood star. That plus how in the world did he land Demi Moore? :chin:

he oozes macho, Lurks... u have to look at it from tht period..... he was my hero, back then.... it is like asking now, how did a bean pole with the worst genetics and ugliest body become the greatest superstar in Asia - Amitabh..... obviously, i am his biggest fan, but there is a period angle to tht... they have tht special something....

Gator. I think Bruce Willis would be a classic example of how movie background can raise the stature of the man. I can see what you mean by his macho style but come on do you seriously think he oozes half the machoism of say someone like Steve Mcqueen? At his best Bruce Willis was half balding guy next door with body that shall pale in significance when standing next to any action hero of his time. Neither was he a great actor by any far chance but somehow he was always loved by the audience. I know many an American girls who still swear by him. Perhaps I would never understand why.. xxx

Re: Die Hard 4 :-) Lurker you do realize that his balding look makes him even more cute? He is an excellent masalla film type of actor. Judge him as a massalla actor and not some hardcore arty actor. He has a good smile as well. Anyway you offended him and he is coming to kick your @ss :hic: http://webpages.csus.edu/~ald28/bruce.jpg

Re: Die Hard 4 :-) this is where my analogy with amitabh would help u understand :hic: it helps u identify..... not many can identify with an arnold.... but Bruce is ur common man, who has the coolness of a bond, but can still be rugged as ur construction worker.... people identify with him.... and physique-wise, he was pretty good for his generation.... u have to take out arnold and stallone from tht..... but in general, he was pretty decent...

One thing I would give to Bruce is that he aged gracefully. He looks the same at 52 as he looked at 32. Now whether thats a compliment to him now or nightmare back then is a matter of personal opinion. :hic:

Re: Die Hard 4 :-) Did you see the film where he plays an army officer who organizes a jail break and then comes back to die so that an innocent man may live? That was one of his more serious roles, shorn of the laconic humour that makes him so special. And yet, he towered over the rest in that movie. Who gives a fukc that he is balding? Yul Brynner didn't have a hair on his head and set the screen on fire in "The Magnificent Seven". Willis is a special actor. Amazing eyes. They convey so much.

Re: Die Hard 4 :-) have u guys seen "Jackal".... it was Bruce against another of my favorites, Richard Gere... Richard Gere had all the makings of a superstar, but somehow didnt quite get there, cos he was more elite.... but the man's class was next to none...

Re: Die Hard 4 :-) Jackal was fantastic, Bruce Willis was awesome in it. Not sure if you watched the original "The Jackal", that was awesome too.
