  • Willis receives support for this comeback period: Pulp Fiction and this hit lead into a run of major films and first-call status.
  • Willis and Demi Moore’s combined stardom adds to the case; Moore’s reported Striptease salary is corrected from twenty to twelve million.
  • Jackson’s peak is unresolved among the Pulp Fiction era, Jackie Brown, later-1990s permanence and Star Wars.
  • Irons’s Oscar win or Margin Call are alternatives; Harlem is rejected as only a brief setting here, with Harlem Knights, The Cotton Club and Hoodlum discussed.
  • Summer as an integral action-movie setting receives qualified support, as do the Wall Street school system, gold reserves and Bonwit Teller.
  • Colleen Camp and Sam Phillips receive affirmative support.
  • Die Hard sequels and McClane’s sidekicks receive clear affirmative answers, with Zeus preferred over the other companions.
