Using Bruce Willis Movie Quotes To Remember His 1987 Album, ‘The Return Of Bruno’

With the exception of “Jackpot” (he co-wrote it), Bruce Willis covered a number of bluesy tracks back in the late ’80s in an attempt to capitalize on his budding fame as a movie star. While it’s not considered a masterwork in any sense, his star power was able to carry this musical beast to No. 14 on the Billboard 200, a feat that’s commendable, considering he’s made such classics like Hudson Hawk and Surrogates.

All jokes aside, Willis is a Hollywood legend. It’s his 60th birthday today, and he brought us the greatest action film of all-time: Die Hard. His The Return of Bruno album, though? We could have done without. Here are Bruce Willis’ fictional characters reviewing Bruce Willis’ 1987 album.
