- With Bruce Willis' recent announcement of retirement due to being diagnosed with aphasia, we'll be taking a look at the action star's entire career. We'll be going decade by decade starting with his rise to fame with Moonlighting and Die Hard, his peak with Pulp Fiction, Fifth Element, The Sixth Sense and more Die Hard until eventually fading into his end of career direct to video films.
Notable films of his career include Die Hard and Look Who's Talking during his rise in the 1980s; Die Hard 2, Die Hard with a Vengeance, Pulp Fiction, The Fifth Element, 12 Monkeys, Armageddon and The Sixth Sense during his peak in the 1990s; Unbreakable, Sin City, Over the Hedge, and Live Free or Die Hard when his career started to slow down in the 2000s; and The Expendables, Red, A Good Day to Die Hard, Moonrise Kingdom, Looper and Glass near the end of his career in the 2010s.

In my opinion, Looper was his last great movie and performance. That movie was a masterpiece and he definitely helped carry it.
Very sad. But true legends die hard.
*Heart breaking. He is pretty much my favourite action star. Die Hard is still one of the best action films ever made.*
I'm so glad I came across your channel. The videos are so engaging. Keep up the good work ❤️
Thank you! We really appreciate it 😊
Song you used int andntr
filmstack got the best narrator - such a silky smoothe voice. Every video is getting better damn!!
yuck
I can't think of another actor who did more of my favorite movies than him. He was an absolute legend.
I really liked 16 Blocks, The Last Boy Scout, and Hudson Hawk, would eagerly watch Moonlighting as a kid, and even bought his debut album. He put in the hard work, and so playing the game scraping off the cream in productions before his disease stopped him working is fine in my book.
Never heard of Moonrise Kingdom, so that is one on my list to watch.
Last Boy Scout is an absolute gem. Critics ain’t shit.

“what’d you do last night?”
“I think I fkd a squirrel to death, and don’t remember”
For those who haven’t seen it, ‘Death Becomes Her’ is a camp comedy masterpiece 🧑🏽🍳 💋
I think Lucky Number Slevin is an awesome movie! Surrogates was good.
The frozen Ground with Nicolas Cage and John Cusack is a really good movie
Can you do Mel Gibson?
Bruce Willis started out in " Moonlighting". It was a summer replacement show, expected to be terrible. Cybil Shepard was a has been, Willis was unknown. But the show was great, thanks to Willis's obnoxious, sarcastic personality.
hey i really like your work. Would you be interested in another hand? i can edit... im working on stuff right now. let me know. thanks
Hey! Thank you! Right now my brother and I write and edit the videos so we have enough hands on deck, but if we continue growing we might need help so we'll keep in touch. Thanks for offering and the kind words 😊
Glass had some much potential, it could have been brilliant. It was frustrating to watch. I blame the script and the director. In general though its almost if the story was written in an hour.
Lots of people are being incredibly gracious and giving him a pass for behavior that happened decades before his medical condition developed. He was incredibly arrogant and was well on his way to ruining his career overall as he had already ruined his reputation in the industry and many working relationships with stars and directors. I wouldn't wish retirement due to disability on anyone, but in his case it was fortunate in that it allowed him to save face before his bridge-burning caught up with him.
he actually just released a new movie lol
Oh yeh! And many more to come now. Life has been super busy these past two months but we're back at it.
The 1980's & 1990's were probably Bruce Willis greatest years as a box office draw. He pretty much lost interest and went into DTV hell in the last decade or so. His recent retirement due to aphasia, certainly does describe his poor performance in recent films. It is pretty sad to see what has happened to him. Your next What the heck happened to? Should probably be Mel Gibson. Here is a guy who was Hollywood darling following his breakout in the Mad Max & Lethal Weapon films and then his fall from grace with his Antisemitic rants against an officer and his then girlfriend. He probably would be an interesting subject for you to cover - as he is still somewhat controversial for some people. He recently admitted the late Dick Donner has asked him to direct Lethal Weapon 5, should he pass away, which he did. Gibson to this day still remains a decisive figure as they are still plenty of people who won't work with him.
Yeah Bruce definitely had a good run early on, not many people have as many hits as him within a single decade as his 90s.
Mel Gibson is for sure a good option for our next video! Controversial and interesting and still relevant after all the stuff he’s done. Heard he was supposed to do a sequel to Passion of the Christ. Thanks for the suggestion!
oh yeah!! mel gibson would be great. seems like his downfall was the christ movie + apocolypto.
You know it's funny how you mentioned at length in the Winona Ryder video how ageism was a contributing factor to her losing roles, yet completely glossed over the fact that there was a reduction in rules for Bruce due to his age. So, are you saying only ageism can affect women?
Johnny Depp
We all know what happened to him (sweating profusely)!! 😅
But great suggestion! It's officially on the list 😊
This aged like milk
How so?
@@shaneforshort poor guy got diagnosed with dementia, it's been creeping up on him over the last decade.
