I don't see the resemblance... maybe that's because i'm normal (?)

it was once said that willis copyied rourkes style to a tee, and whether you beleive that or not i don't know, but even scenes in angel heart where he talks about tuesday as the "anything can happen day" the two actors mirror each other entirely. However the way rourke says it is similiar to how willis says some things as john maclane in "die hard with a vengence." However the conspiracy theory that willis copyied rourke could be taken into account considering "die hard with a vengence" was made years after angel heart...

well rourke was acting long before willis, and willis was most probley a fan of rourkes acting style at the time. - its just that when rourke for some strange reason went to boxing??? and willis picked up big style with the die hard franchise, and the other stuff he did, it made you think that rourke copyed willis!! maybe this is some crackpot theory but it just shows how actors are fans of actors. either way they both did full circle and stared in Sin City though they had a split second appearence in a scene together id like to see rourke as the bad dude in die hard 4

but yeah they did look alike before Rourkes plastic surgery

I recall when I thought of Bruce as just "this TV actor who looks like Mickey Rourke". I was a HUGE fan of "the Mick".
Now, Bruce is huge--deservedly so.
Anyone who KNOWS about Mickey's plastic surgery--please tell me details. No guessing or supposition, please.

I like both Bruce Willis and Mickey Rourke, and yeah, I always thought they looked a lot alike as well. When I heard they were both going to be in Sin City, I was hoping we would get to see some dialog between the two. I would like to see how these two actors play off each other. But all we got was that one little moment where Rourke turned around to see Willis walk into that club. Bummer!

This would have been a lot more fun with Bruce Willis as Harley Davidson. Mickey Rourke looks embarrassed here, and who can blame him?

Mickey Rourke has openly admitted that he is not fond of this movie and really only did it for the paycheck.
