The Last Boy Scout
A down-and-out private eye teams with a disgraced former football star to solve a stripper’s murder, only to uncover a deadly web of extortion, blackmail, and political corruption that threatens to destroy them both.
“Everyone had counted them out. But they're about to get back in the game.”

Synopsis
In Los Angeles, a city known for shattered aspirations, a stripper is found murdered. A private detective she had engaged and her former football player boyfriend set out to uncover her killer, though their partnership is fraught with tension. As they investigate further, they uncover a tangled network of extortion, blackmail, and political corruption lurking behind the scenes of professional football.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 466+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 3.9× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
