Kevin Smith talks about Bruce Willis

A video I put together after being enthralled by what Kevin Smith had to say about Bruce Willis after filming his cameo in Die Hard 4!! Even renowned Directors still get starry-eyed!
Check out the whole thing on Smith's DVD 'A Threevening With Kevin Smith':

[@SonnyK248]

The craziest thing about Kevin Smith is any stand up comedian will tell you they spend up to a year writing an hour of material and then months and months touring small venues and seeing what works and what doesn’t work and taking stuff out, trying things in different ways etc before they eventually feel confident enough to film it. Kevin walks into a venue completely unarmed and talks for hours and it’s literally worthy of a comedy special 🤯

[@silenttbanshee]

He's stated he works with pre written bits in one of the Evenings With. Though some of the stuff is off the top, like the q&a banter. He does tell stories over. Just not as frequent as comedians honing their jokes. Hell, some of the stories he tells end up in movies.

[@SonnyK248]

@@silenttbanshee I mean he tells stories about his real life on stage so you have to assume he’s told them all before. But he’s done stand up shows that weren’t even real stand up shows. He’s done college Q and A’s that just became unofficial stand up shows because they were so funny. They weren’t supposed to be anything. He just answered questions for two hours and they were so funny they kind of became known as pseudo stand up. and he carried that into his actual stand up. Most of his stand ups are just Q and A’s if not all of them. And even though he’s just repeating stories he’s told his fiends before he’s still going in not knowing what they’re going to say.

[@chrisxavier3147]

I feel so bad watching this and knowing how much of a disaster their future collaboration turns into...

[@Rensune]

All because he can't direct certain personalities.

[@lovelymusicnow4404]

Wdym what happened

[@Rensune]

@@lovelymusicnow4404 Kevin Smith refuses to Actually direct people. With his own friends, he's ok, but with All other professional actors they either Walk all over him or hate him for Not directing.

[@lovelymusicnow4404]

@@Rensune interesting

[@Rensune]

@Some Guy It's not just Bruce Willis. Kevin is too Timid. Which you Cannot be as a Director.

[@fwubbuh]

I love clerks, the humor in it is right up my alley.

Cop Out looks like it might be a blast. Can't wait to see the dream become a reality.

[@hitman036]

How great would this be: Jay and Silent Bob 2 - and Jay learns the identity of his father... played by Bruce Willis!!!!!

[@ghostwhiskey]

its excellent when he drops the mic

[@maxroberts2048]

drop the mic! I laughed so hard

[@Subiromba]

"You're from Jersey, I'm from Jersey, we should do something together". Yes, they have done. An amazing piece of shit called Copout, despite all the amazing previous work directed by Smith.

[@Trevor10]

i forgot kevin was in die hard 4

[@elinblackburn7345]

that's not sweat. it's his heart crying.

[@Jamiroquai_the_third]

💀

[@Luvie1980]

Kevin is a great storyteller.

[@kdizzle901]

That’s why he CAN be a great writer

[@Snuvs]

I actually think Bruce Willis would make a good Silent Bobs Uncle.

[@tkoester9509]

This aged poorly

[@acetate909]

There needs to be a cut of this place before his thoughts about Bruce after Cop Out. This clip is so much funnier in the proper context.

[@TheOnlyRealTanYaisa]

my son and i were there.......in the dvd and at the party

[@jn33403]

you should post up the whole dvd :)

[@FletchySRF1988]

@Accisma I assume that's SMODcast. Just wondering, which episode does he talk about working with Bruce Willis?

[@can0mark]

Those shows he does are primarily about his experiences as a filmmaker. He's obviously gonna fill the night with a lot of anecdotes.

[@serpentisma]

@kilibot well, i kind of halfway agree with you on that. cop out wasn't all that great. it had a few good moments in there, but all in all, just not what i was hoping for on a kevin smith movie. but also, to be a little fair, it wasn't his script, his screen play, or even produced by scott mosier. he was just hired on by warner brothers to direct, and brought on dave klein for cinematography. i'm sure if it was his story line, and his production, it may have come out a little differently...

[@Diakron79]

@Meda01 Whatever man. From where I'm standing, this is better than stand-up comedy.

[@motivatedmayhem]

awesome

[@skimasker3049]

Look up "George Carlin House of Blues" he's talking about Bruce Willis in that routine.

[@PvtGermanWagz]

2:51 was freaking hilarious.....

[@nypad5]

omg i was lawling so freaking hard at this whole bit. I love kevin smith

[@simonxfrederick]

its a Q&A not spoken word like henry rollins, he doesnt plan anything he just answers questions and tells stories that come to mind

[@EraserDudeFilms]

does anyone know if this dvd is available on region 2?

[@PrincessNine]

@hitman036 No, this is the explanation of how "Cop Out" the movie happened

[@Quarter2FourFilms]

People are lined up in the isles to ask questions.

[@therealdude100]

2:51 haha best fucking reaction ever

[@ZiggyHernandez]

Okay, for all the people bitching and dissing Kevin Smith about the dialogue in Cop Out, here's a fun fact: HE DIDN'T WRITE IT.

[@MaghoxFr]

shure microphones, the best, the sturdier in the world!

[@ShanesAutos]

Kevin is wearing the coat from Jay & Silent Bob. cool.

[@Silverone43]

@tymcfly07 i actually enjoyed Cop Out to a certain extent. If you went into it thinking it was going to be a Kevin Smith movie, then you were obviously dead wrong. I went into it being unbiased about the fact that it was the first movie he ever solely directed and didn't write, and i enjoyed the movie for what it was and didnt try to constantly compare it to his other work. Was it his best work? No, but i don't think he deserved all the shit he got from it.

[@Lumo95]

I totally agree with you... but the director has a massive influence on how the diaglouge is delivered and perceived. Again though I do agree with you.

[@VexonCross]

This was after working and writing that scene on Die Hard 4, and before they worked on Cop Out together, where Bruce allegedly had a fit.

[@jn33403]

hell yeah !!!!!!!!!!11

[@therealdude100]

what was the music in the begining

[@xB0ix]

cop out was suprisingly good.

[@Quarter2FourFilms]

This will be all I am uploading. It was just to acknowledge my favorite part of the show. Best spring for the DVD if you want to see the rest, sorry.

[@Gus_Chiggins]

Bruce made 50 calls just like that one to Kevin on that day.

[@reductobeam]

@StinaPrep for the record he didnt write it, it wasnt quite a full kevin smith movie

[@DarkAlley92]

@sandmanstranger Wow, if we only knew how it would turn out...we were so so naive

[@woosnext]

his Bruce Willis voice is pretty good

[@MephistoWaits]

@10barclayt He supports his body WITH HIS MIND.

[@Sh0nin]

Toss up between Clerks 2 and Chasing Amy.

The empty seats are because people were lined up on the sides to ask a question.

@DeathgGod - I know this. I was simply throwing out an idea for the greatest casting choice in history.

dude this was a QnA, someone asked the question, he had to answer it

[@jjointer]

@limbs32 totally agree with you

[@ghettofabification]

That was andy reid in the eagles hat at 1:44!

[@necroturky]

He didn't write cop-out he directed it. If on the other hand he both wrote and directed It most likley would have been much better.

[@jerseymike11]

it is part of his silent bob gimmick

[@JayDee247365]

@pesser Cop Out wasn't a Kevin Smith movie. He just directed it.

Oh man, thats tough, its a real toss up between Clerks and Chasing Amy, but I'd have to give it to Chasing Amy.

[@itzTony93]

dude bruce willis is a fuckin GOON

[@DrewBludd]

@Doctorstrange37 Okay, buddy.

[@S1N15T3R]

Kevin Smith should write a horror film with Bruce Willis as a relentless killer ...no motivation ...just a psychotic fiendish killer who is also a well-known defense attorney by day.

[@PvtGermanWagz]

@ILLER121 They did do something together. It's called Cop Out, there's a trailer out for it. I gotta say, judging by the trailer it looks like it may be the first unfunny movie by Kevin Smith......

[@Wolvenfire86]

CLEARLY you haven't seen K. Smith before.

[@Yophillips3272]

after this how can he hate on Bruce?

[@mev186]

1. Clerks. 2. Dogma 3. Clerks 2 4. Mallrats 5. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

[@GamerTown1232]

@tymcfly07 you cant blame them for that. Kevin Smith didn't write that.

[@pproduction123]

And then they worked together on Cop Out and Kevin to this day still hates and rags on Bruce Willis.

[@simonxfrederick]

@DrewBludd wow you must be ridiculously mellow if you think me giving that explanation is TOO TENSE! :s

[@Dmasterman]

Silent bob's uncle? Uncle Bob??

[@simonxfrederick]

@DrewBludd

[@Moonsidewalker]

He's probably fine with the coat without the hot lights on him. If you wear a coat long enough your body gets used to it.

[@DrewBludd]

@Meda01 I agree that he isn't doing comedy. It's more of a spoken word thing, like Henry Rollins does. But I wouldn't give anyone a hard time for thinking that he is. It sure looks and sounds like stand up. He's talking in front of people making them laugh. Give them a break.

[@MastaRikta]

@Quarter2FourFilms Naw... too many open seats.

[@simonxfrederick]

@EraserDudeFilms torrent it mate

[@humanking2212]

yeah i'm guessin 99% you talk of yourself you talk of people you know, he knows those people...

[@backwardshoe]

I am really hoping that 'Cop Out' will be good, I hate that he had to change the title from 'A Couple of Dicks', but still. The trailer didn't rock my world, but I have high hopes.

[@davidgoesmoo]

@mclovin2507 Clerks all the way my friend

[@Dtrollmancan]

Sad thing is that this movie is were Die Hard stop being Die Hard :(

[@romas1995]

both should apologize to each other, Kevin should write something for Willis, Willis has to accept Kevin and just get another director man, one who knows his lenses if its such a big issue for Willis. :P

[@Kaospyro]

@mclovin2507 Mallrats

[@jjointer]

@Quarter2FourFilms that took 10 months? j/k lol

[@FaithLestrange]

lol, whenever he wears shorts and that jacket, he looks like he's not wearing pants...

[@PvtGermanWagz]

False....they worked together shortly after this on the movie Cop Out.....

[@critias7]

I've never understood why KS wears a coat when he's mopping the sweat off his face every 10 seconds.

[@geemakloud]

I just watched some video where he mentions he has body issues.

[@ejulpboy]

Willis does quirk well when he wants to be funny, Smith should actually not get stage fright (like when he almost didn't write the Daredevil comic cuz of Miller's famous run) and do this. Look what 30 Rock has done for Alec Baldwin...a movie from Kevin could benefit both of them.

[@MrMelick]

This man knows how to entertain.

[@ZiggyHernandez]

Well, unless you believe his stories about filming it, in which case he had no influence whatsoever. Which kinda makes a person wonder what he did do as director, but I digress...

[@miomimomiro]

He is not throwing shit about Bruce Willis................

[@skapunkteddybear]

If only he had know then, the commercial, critical, financial and mental shit storm that was to follow.

[@11Sweeneytodd]

bruce willis is dig dug

[@existozip]

@critias7 It's one of the rules of fat people's clothing: Wear dark, wear layers :)

[@DrewBludd]

@Doctorstrange37 It is. You had to go out of your way to correct a stranger (which is a horrible trait) about something nobody gives a shit about. You need. To relax.

[@DrakkonTiger]

kevin is very self concious about his weight. So on stage he wears the coat to kind of diffuse his size. He has even said as much in other Even With dvd. " Which is why I will be wearing the coat all night..." Hope that answers your question critias7

[@ralphy329]

dude its a QnA, not stand up.....

Respond to this video... in fact type it into google, google videos has it thats where i watched it

No offense to him, but how do his little ankles support his body? I honestly dont understand.
