Bruce Willis has a rich legacy of great movie characters in his filmography. Willis' swing to action movies wasn't planned, with many of his early roles being comedies like Moonlighting or Blind Date. After everyone from Clint Eastwood to Richard Gere passed on the original Die Hard movie, Willis was offered a large fee to take the movie, which had a seismic impact on both his career and the genre.
13 Tom Hardy A 1993 thriller that even Willis has spoken of disparagingly, Striking Distance cast him as a detective assigned to river rescue duty. When the serial killer who murdered his father resurfaces, Willis' Tom Hardy teams up with new partner Jo to stop them. Hardy is a character very much in the Everyman vein of past Willis action characters, and by the time he made Striking Distance, it was a mode he was clearly comfortable in.
10 Lieutenant Waters Tears of the Sun was noted for its tough production, with Willis clashing with director Antoine Fuqua constantly over its tone. This story involves Willis' team of Navy SEALs leading a rescue mission in Nigeria and being impacted by the horrors they witness. Fuqua also stages some intense action sequences, including an elaborate firefight in the finale.
7 Korben Dallas The Fifth Element is a 1997 sci-fi adventure that made a star of Milla Jovovich. While Milla and co-stars Gary Oldman and Chris Tucker get the flashier roles, it's actually Willis' taxi driver Dallas who keeps The Fifth Element rooted in some version of reality. That's not to suggest it's a dull role though; Dallas has all the dry quips and charm Willis fans could ask for.
4 Old Joe Looper features one of Willis' best performances from the latter stages of his career, and also one of his darkest. His character Old Joe is targeted for death by his younger self when he travels back in time to gain revenge on his former boss. Viewers might be on Old Joe's side initially, but it's soon clear from his actions that he's most certainly not a hero.
