This was so brilliant! I remember watching it when it first aired. And I had the cassette tape and the vinyl record album. Love you always, Bruce!! 💜🙏🏻💜

Love his smile! Love Bruce! Always have, always will!

Anybody who wasn't alive in the 80's and is just watching this now for the first time doesn't realize just how hot Bruce Willis was after 'Moonlighting' hit the air. Everybody wanted a piece of him. Seagram's paid him around $5 million to pitch their wine coolers on TV, film offers were pouring in, he married Demi Moore - and then Die Hard opened in theaters. So it's not surprising that he tried to make a record too. Marginal singer - yes. Which is why there is only about 20 minutes of music in this and they put together a first-class band to back him up. Take it for what it's worth. Saw parts of this when it aired, thanks for posting.

Michael J Fox just does the best deadpan cameo here. Completely sells it...

I bought the only copy of this CD in the whole town I was living in in France in 1988. And I never knew this mockumentary ever existed !!! It's so nice to see Bruce having so much fun on screen... and a little sad to see what he is doing nowadays. I've re-watched some Moonlighting episodes, which are poor stories whith fantastic chemistry between the 2 stars of the show.

OMG, i remember watching as a child, i had the album on cassette. One of my favourites from the 80s, i played it so much, i wore out the tape. Watching now, i forgot what big stars appeared on it. Brilliant spoof.

A GEM that few people can appreciate. Great memories of watching this over and over when HBO had their old-school rotation. This ranks up there with Joe Piscapo's drum solo during his show....yeah I said it! ;p

This is without a doubt the greatest thing I have ever seen in my life. Like a fever dream I don’t want to ever end. Clearly, we now know where Bruce’s $6m salary from DIE HARD went: to making the greatest rockumentary ever made in this universe. LONG LIVE BRUNO!!!

I know he wasn't in the best of shape at the time but it's still nice to see Brian Wilson in this. It shows that even Brian had a sense of humor, unless Landy was spoon-feeding him all of his lines.

So that’s what Bruce Willis looked like with a full head of hair.

Bruno's music gets right into your Soul 🎶💕 #LoveBruce

I had two different (dumb as dirt) roomates who thought this was real. I had to set them straight.

Oh how I LOVED this as a child! Brian Wilson looked great on it too! thanks x

love that, judging from the comments, this is 30 years old and some people still don't get it.

This was probably a lot of fun for everyone involved :) seems like they're all having a good time. You haters commenting about how "embarrassing" it is need to lighten up, it's just silly fun!

My dad taped this off the telly. I remember watching it over and over again, I would have been 8 or 9. I was a weird kid. I don't remember if I knew it was fake or not. It's such a strange thing, I'm glad it still exists in the world.

My daughter and I shared this When it first came out and she was about 3 and loved it! She managed to find a VHS tape of it a few years back and gave it to me. Precious memories shared and this brings it all back. Thank you. Brilliant.

I cannot believe I found this. Thank you for uploading!

AMAZING TO FIND THIS. WATCHED IT 100'S OF TIMES WHEN I WAS A KID. YES I REALISE I AM TYPING IN CAPS. I AM EXCITED. FUNTIME!!!!!

I recorded this off HBO on VHS videotape. Watched it 100 times, loved it. "Bruno's Corvettes, Corvettes, Corvettes---trust me." Thanks, Bruce.

I love that genuine smile Bruce Willis gives at 33:20

I remember seeing this video in the 80's. Recorded it on VHS and got a lot of laughs watching it back in the day. Fun to see it again after all these years.

So amazing to see this again after all these years. I even bought the album way back when. Happy memories!

I never knew Bruno is bruce willis!!!!

Wow! Some people hate EVERYTHING! Absolutely no sense of humour at all. What miserable lives they must live. This is really funny. Love it. The actual OST is pretty damn good. It features some great "blues standards'. Well worth the search and a listen. He was pretty good. If you don't like the Blues and Rock n' Roll, then you just won't get it, and this just isn't for you, but don't put sh*t on something just because YOU don't understand it. My only criticism is that he didn't keep up his music career as well. In the words of Bill & Ted, "...be excellent to each other."

Me and my friends watched this high as a kite and although we never attended the original Woodstock were fooled into thinking this was real and he really performed there.

I remember seeing this when it came out on HBO. Jackpot still my all time favorite. Love you Bruno!

I first saw this bout 15 years ago. Glad I found it again. Great farce! Had many people fooled. Still does.

I bought a box of records and The Return of Bruno was amongst the lot. Now I am here.

Why is the concert part actually kinda fun to watch. I feel like he is having his best day. I’ve never seen a person play a harmonica with such intensity…

THANK YOU! Been looking for this video forever.

I owened the tape, Comin' right up! love ya Bruce😎

This is like something Andy Kaufman would do. Good job!

Thanks a lot!!! I was looking for this movie long time

Thank you so so so much for uploading!

before forest gump....there was bruno.

'80s synth pop in the '60s, hilarious!

Great to see! Fun fact - The former member of the Bad Boys, Stanley Plewoski (played by Joey Plewa and seen here at 4:18 in the clip), the year after got a role in Die Hard as one of the terrorists thanks to this.

I vividly remember the reaction to this from the British press. Those that reviewed it as real were simply 'in' on the joke. The rest, like most people, were just baffled as to how such a terrible vanity project, for a star who could barely hold a note, ever got off the ground. Spinal Tap it ain't. But it does prove what a huge, huge star Willus was at the time.

I can't believe I fell for this when it came out. I was so dumb.

I could go to any dive bar karaoke night and see this crap.

This is comic gold! How is this not a classic???

Bruce Willis in his first (TV) movie!

I feel like this is what Garth Brooks was trying to do with Chris Gaines, but they did him wrong and cancelled the movie and just released the album with no context lol

I NEVER saw this...BRILLIANT! 🤟

That wig,though...!!😂😂

Thanks BRUNO Love MARS

i saw this as a br wilis fan some time ago on vhs... and now on yt that you get all the references and stuff this was real fun to watch , great docu,

Justin never ceases to impress me with his archaic knowledge.

Omg holy cow my God that is wolfman jack

The version released on VHS that I had here in New Zealand actually had the full audio of Under The Boardwalk. It does surprise me that obtaining music rights to songs on home video releases is so difficult for USA consumers. Tv shows seem to have different music for their home video release tan when originally broadcast. Here in NZ we get all the original music on tv shows on home release.

Beyond Yacht Rock Ep. "Co-Star Deathmatch" brought me here. XD

I love how the videos indicate a change in the times, but the music all sounds like the 80s

BRUCE WILLIS IS BRUNO.❤

WOW I've never seen this before thanks for this

I have this on vhs it’s hilarious I haven’t seen it for 30 years

What a Great Mystification!)))

genius

Bruce Willis always had gay body movements.

That wig decision though

I got three words for ya today... Corvettes Corvettes Corvettes Corvettes!

Bruno made history! Even though he is not sexy, hot, can't play harmonica, can't sing and never played with BB King (who?)! 😜😂 Love you Bruno, Bruce, John McClane, Paul Sheldon or Emma's husband! hahahah

So many Stars in only 56 Minutes.

This is really good 😂 thanks for posting

(I'm sorry to whomever is reading this, but I scrolled through the comments and couldn't find someone saying this, so I had to.) We........ don't talk about bruno

Wow Bruce actually played Jimmy Zs famous riff at 48:00

Aww jesus that armonica XD

BRUNO(BRUCE WILLIS) É UM SONHO!!😍😍😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This goes beyond bad to embarrassing.

How do I find the harmonica bending at the beginning of the video?

Hilarious!!!

I taped this off HBO back in the day. This was before he starred in movies. People who weren't alive back then don't realize he was the biggest star on TV with the show Moonlighting. He wanted to do something fun to show off his musical chops. However, he's only a mediocre singer.

Now I get it, Bruno was a character he made up which explains that cartoon he came out with in the 90s, Bruno The Kid.

Bruce should revive Bruno for a feature film. That would be fun. Throw some autotune in as a joke.

He has no memory of this what so ever.

When I first saw this I was very young and truly believed that it was real.

I'm on my way to the hospital with severe cringe.

I was an HBO kid but I don't remember this at all

If Iggy Pop and Bruce Willis had a kid it would be Bruno in this video.

Bruce Willis had fun making this movie I'm sure!Just got here. Never heard of this film of Bruce Willis, Return of Bruno. Didn't know he did some singing. Seems somewhat Comical protray of a singer and the movie itself..Dick Clark in the movie, Elton John, Ringo Starr,Wolf Man Jack,Clive Davis, etc. It is ashame Bruce Willis stepping away from acting because of Aphasia, he may not be able to communicate again by voice. Die Hard movies Pulp Fiction, 12 Monkeys,on and on!

I saw this on showtime in 87 and thought it was real

29:58 Michael J Fox predicted hologram singers!

I Love the Idea Of BRUNO

I was a kid when I first saw this and thought it was real. Lol

I thought this movie was just a weird dream I had when I was 9 or 10. Does anybody else remember Chevy Chase anchoring the news from inside a washing machine? I thought that was a dream too, but I'm not so sure anymore.

I can’t imagine if Bruno returned now, Sheesh, wish I had some of that 1987 Bruce Willis snow lol (jk :D

Trenton’s Tunnel Club is funny

Somebody got the subtitles for this film?

What the fuck am I watching?

We don’t talk about Bruno

Why I hate this album podcast brought me here

#THANKGODFORGOODMUSIC

I do like a lot of this movie. I think the reason it isnt connecting for some people is that it is a mocumentary but the songs aren't overtly satirical or funny really. It's like Willis wanted to make a fun mocumentary but secretly wanted to show people he can sing, hoping it would propel that part of his career perhaps? So half of it kinda falls flat. This probably would have been funnier with an experienced and well known improv actor and at least a few satirical songs.

this crafy mozo.

l ❤ Bruno ,named my wolf hound Bruno, some a..hole stole My dog 😢
