When Bruce Willis Movies Collide

You might very well end up with something like Die Hartigan. It's what happens when a divorcee cop with cut-up feet from walking on glass and a penchant for spouting catch-phrases is replaced with a 20-years-older seasoned officer of the law with an x-scar on his face and a heart condition. Or vice-versa.

Yep. In the vacuum of actual thought on the way to work this morning; it occurred to my brain that in his many years in Hollywood, Mr. Bruce Willis has played more than one police officer or similar keeper of the law. Specifically, Die Hard and Sin City. The fact that the title of one movie and his character’s name in another blended together seamlessly (another use for that word, I’m on a roll today) was too amusing to ignore.

… I just spent a good five minutes writing out a synopsis of what Hartigan would do in McClane’s place in Die Hard… and it wasn’t that funny. It’s too violent for an action-comedy and too light-hearted for a Frank Miller piece. I think that in favor of good taste we’ll leave it at a somewhat amusing title and move on from there onto other things. We good? Good.

Could have been worse. Could have been Hudson Hartigan.
