The Last Boy Scout. Found.


A rescue dog led searchers Tuesday to a 12-year-old copy of The Last Boy Scout that had been missing for four days. The disappearance touched off an intensive search involving bloodhounds, heat-seeking helicopters and dozens of volunteers on foot. Once found, the copy was weak and scratched but still played on a DVD player in the rugged North Carolina mountains, about two kilometers from the local BlockBuster.

The Last Boy Scout, a kick-ass film with everything from explosions and action, to a great cast with funny one-liners from Bruce Willis, Damon Wayans and Halle Berry. There are a lot of great memorable scenes in this film, none of which are worth remembering.

Weather had remained a concern for searchers because temperatures had hovered near and below freezing at night. "Our main concern was rain," White said, noting that rain was a possibility in the region's forecast. "Rain would have been worse than snow…rain would have warped the disc. We just wanted to get it before the weather turned and we did."

Park service ranger Tina White said there had been "no indication whatsoever that there had been any foul play. We truly believe we've dealt with a lost movie out in the woods."

With tears in his eyes, Kent Auberry, the owner of the video, added: "To have our movie back is a tremendous blessing."

Never saw this, but doesn't a running back whip out a pistol in-play and start shooting people or something? Seems plausible.
