Having nailed the formula with his very first screenplay, one that continues to cast a shadow over the genre to this day, expectations were high when it was announced Lethal Weapon writer Shane Black was heading back into buddy cop territory with The Last Boy Scout, especially when he was being paid a record $1.75 million fee to write it in the first place.
Bearing all of his signature hallmarks that included (but was absolutely not limited to) bickering partners paired up against their will to meet a shared goal, rat-a-tat rapid fire dialogue exchanges, jet-black humor, one-liners that stick in the memory, excessive violence, much foul language, and plenty of gunplay, it’s a miracle the end product turned out as great as it did.
