Broadway Brawler is an unfinished romantic comedy film that was to star Bruce Willis and Maura Tierney and be directed by Lee Grant.
[2] Twenty days into shooting, Willis, unhappy with the work of some of the crew, fired multiple people, leading Disney to shut down production.
Instead of suing him, the studio reached a deal with Willis to work on three films for a discounted rate; Armageddon (1998), The Sixth Sense (1999), and The Kid (2000).
Eddie Kapinsky (Bruce Willis), a has-been retired professional ice hockey player, starts up a relationship with a character played by Maura Tierney.
[1] After approximately two years of pre-production[2] as well as 20 days of principal photography, the production was halted owing to the acrimonious environment on set.
