First off lol it’s not a trilogy dude. It’s 5 movies. Soon to be 6

Secondly, 2 isn’t that great

It’s a remix of 1 without the script or director. And it’s the beginning of John McClane: Superman

That’s cool but that doesn’t make your statement true

I mean I like part 4 as a standalone flick... they should have brought back Matt for part 5 in some way since he's a hacker... but I think die hard was done after the trilogy it doesnt need a part 6 at all 5 was kinda wack...

is that the one they're supposedly making it a McClane origin story intermixed w/ old ass Bruce Willis?

I know I'm in the minority with 2 being my favorite...has my favorite scene in the franchise:




and for being a rehash of part 1, it was fun...and it set off the whole yippy ki yay as his finisher



can't say that shyt wasn't even if it's improbable

Part 2 has great scenes. Like the one you mentioned. Just yeah it’s a remix of part 1 so by definition it’s inferior. As opposed to 3 which was a completely new movie while also making mcclane the regular guy and not Superman

Die Hard 2 is my least favourite out of the original 3 (roughly on par with the 4th), but I have to say... it is by far the funniest one, with 3 not far behind in humour. So many unintentionally funny scenes.

The whole part you posted, from Mcclane punching the general after saying 'freedom' like 'not yet', all the way til he ejects out of the cockpit used to have me and my brother every time.

McClane wasn't no superman in part 2.
He was still all fukked up at the end. Got his ass kicked on the wing by Sadler. Don't even think he landed a punch. Most extra thing he did was when he blasted all those fools in the terminal.

Nah he was Superman to me. He’s always fukked up in the end. But he went from being regular ass cop on die hard to super cop in die hard 2. 3 brought him right back down to earth where he needed to be. Only for 4 and 5 to make him super cop again. No thank you to that

This Vulture article says it better than I could:

Don’t Believe the Sweater. McClane arrives at O’Hare Dulles airport in a horrid collared sweater that oozes ordinariness. However, his sleuthing — regarding a rogue military lunatic’s (William Sadler) diabolical plot — is from the get-go so spot-on accurate that he comes off as a preternatural Sherlock Holmes.

Absurdly Assured. Far from flustered, McClane now performs expert roll-and-shoot maneuvers when fired upon by villains. He pops out of air vents to kill gunmen at just the right moment. He leaps over a semitruck on a snowmobile that then blows up midair. He escapes a grounded, exploding plane by using the pilot’s ejector seat and parachuting to safety. And he jumps out of a helicopter onto a moving plane’s wing, where he proceeds to fight two super-soldiers. All without hesitation or alarm.

What are you talking about bruh

fukkin Mcclane in 3 drove through central park not hitting one person then jumped on a moving subway then survived the bomb detonation, then rode a dump truck like a surfboard. got shot 50 feet in the air out the aquaduct and lived.. Dude fell off a bridge landed on a ship and survived. Tripped the breaks on a speeding car in traffic flipping a 180 while shooting the bad guys at the same time
Killed 5 dudes in an elevator all by himself.

Come on Marty.

Mcclane fukkin shot down a helicopter with a little ass revolver

It’s less about shyt like that for me and more about him sort of lucking his way into shyt in part 3. He’s rarely ahead of the villain, he needs help, he’s drunk half the time, and gets lucky. His luck is even a point of dialogue in the flick.

In part 2 he’s basically Sherlock Holmes with a badge. He knows everything that’s going to happen before it happens and always always always gets the drop on everyone and is rarely caught off guard. If at all. In 3, he feels like more of a detective who’s in over his head against a very very smart but flawed dude.

And he didn’t shoot the helicopter with the revolver; he shot the pilot, which caused the helicopter to crash into wires

Dude was NEVER a regular ass cop in the first 4.

at not calling him Superman in part 3. There’s plenty of scene where he’s Superman.

You naming problems with the script. Mcclane did more over the top shyt in part 3 the more I think about it. With a hangover Gtfoh.
