:Q

Look how much he made for one movie, the sixth sense. I thought Haley Joel Osment was the star of that movie? Why is this guy in the $20 million club? His movies always suck.

Uh... have you even seen The Jackal... or the sixth sense? or pulp fiction?

Those movies are awesome and so is Willis... the $100mil he got was probably mostly due to him getting a percentage of the profits and the movie doing so well.. I doubt the success it got was anticipated.

He got that much money because the film wasn't expected to do that well but Willis decided that he would take the back-end route (I guess he believed it would be a hit) hence how he got so much money from the tickets and DVD sales. Nice move.

The only movies that I can think of done by Bruce Willis that suck are:

The Kid
The Sixth Sense
Tears of the Sun

I've loved every other movie he's been in that I've seen. He's one of the few actors that will automatically entice me to see a movie.

The Jackal was not good, and Pulp Fiction was not the movie it is due to Bruce Willis.

The Jackal was so-so and yes, Pulp Fiction was not a great movie solely because of Bruce Willis. He did help make it a great movie though.

"where did you get the motorcycle?"

"It's a chopper, baby."

"What happened to my Honda?"

"I'm sorry, baby, I had to crash that Honda,"

"Well, whose motorcycle is this?"

"I told you baby, it's a chopper!"

I thought Willis did an excellent job in Sixth Sense and the movie would have been far less without him. He took a gamble and won-better him than some investment banker that wasn't willing to pay more upfront.

Well if Bruce Willis produced the movie, wrote the script, and hired M. Night Shalayman to direct the film, then I guess he can get a large portion of the movie gross.

I thought he just starred in the movie, that's it, like Keanu Reeves. Had nothing to do with being the movie producer.

Willis definately contributed to the movie... and I liked The Jackal, but of course that's just because Jack Black was in it...

Sixth Sense was a great movie. Damn, can't believe he made that much from 1 movie. Tears of the Sun did suck but Monica Bellucci was Hot tho.

Oooh boy. Bruce Willis does not suck, he's been in some movies that did(Armageddon and Unbreakable), but he was not the reason those movies sucked.
