Let's see how Mr. Riggs measures up against several of Die Hard's finest villains.

*Firearms optional

1. Hans Gruber (Die Hard)*
2. Major Grant (Die Hard 2)
3. Colonel Stuart (Die Hard 2)
4. Simon Gruber (Die Hard With a Vengeance), inside his chopper*
5. Mai (Live Free or Die Hard)
6. Thomas Gabriel (Live Free or Die Hard)* although Riggs may want to beat the shit out of him with his bare hands.

Rogue Jedi
Riggs pwns them all, more efficiently than McClaine did.

Placidity
Riggs clears it IMO. Some of the villains were good at scheming and more plot-based tactics and not actual fighters (e.g Hans).

Rogue Jedi
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmhm.

Sadako of Girth
Left Targo (Dh 3) out.

If its Riggs at his current age (Or the age he would have been in 2006) especially when fighting Mai, Riggs is dead. (Assuming he survived Stuart)

Hes way too old for that shit.

With firearms though, hed probably just shoot 'em.
A lot of shit gets talked about how much Riggs is a hand to hand killer, but even though he has less kills than McClane, his percentage of "killed by shooting" kills is higher.

Rogue Jedi
Why do you always do that? Why do you always say Riggs in LW4? You know, we are counting ALL of the movie Riggs, not just 4.

You just answered your own question:

"You know, we are counting ALL of the movies".

Right now if 2008 McClane met 2008 Riggs, McClane'd kill him. Outright.

Look. If he really wanted to be cheap, he probably coulda just shot her or something.

Either his wanting arrest/interrogate her up until she kicked her out the window, or being old fashioned was responsible for him not trying to take her out 'til then.

Then when he lost his temper he perfectly combined the desire to get up there quickly before Computer geek was killed or forced to complete his task with desire to get up there quick to kick her arse.

The SUV was the quick way of doing it.








Riggs with the shipping container was a bigger punk out..

Dude if you were fighting tommorrow, and I was asked to make an assessment of your recent form, it would not be based on what you did when you were seventeen.

It'd be 'how did you get on last week.'

By your logic, Mike Tyson has never been and will never be defeated because of what he did to Larry Holmes back in the day, totally ignoring the spankings that Douglas, Lewis, Williams gave to him since.

And how can you moan about the mentioning of McClane's kill count from all the movies one minute, yet when you want to cite whatever Riggs does in all other movies, its somehow magically alright...?

Wait, since when are they fighting tomorrow? It's ALL the Riggs and McClaine's, from all four movies.

Sadako of Girth
Then 4 different Riggs fights, times 4 different McClane fights....

Lotta threads.

Rogue Jedi
Indeed, pay attention, Mr. Madison.

O'Doyle rules!!!!

Sadako of Girth
This'd be more like it.

1. Hans Gruber and his buddy with only two rounds. (Die Hard)*
2. Karl
3. Major Grant and Colonel Stuart (Diehard 2)
4. And their platoons * (Die hard2)
5. Simon Gruber (Die Hard With a Vengeance), inside his chopper with only two rounds from a snub nose service revolver (whilst not being able to see his target properly.)*

6. Mai (Live Free or Die Hard)
7. Thomas Gabriel when he has Rianne hostage at point blank (Live Free or Die Hard)* although Riggs may want to beat the shit out of him with his bare hands.

Rogue Jedi
OK.........

Sadako of Girth
Certainly as OK and more fair than 'not letting McClane having an option to shoot Jet Li'.

Rogue Jedi
OK laughing out loud whatever, dude.

Sado22
Riggs clears it on count of being better at everything McClane does aside from getting pwned by little girls.

Rogue Jedi
haermm

in 4 movies the closest McClane came to getting pvssy was holding Hans' hand when he was about to fall off the tower big grin

Rogue Jedi
haermm

Sadako of Girth
He never held hands with Hans... He just undid the rolex.

And it looked like a Holly shag was imminant when the credits were rolling.

Plenty of shagging going on up until Die Hard 3 at least.

Hell McClane, being better than Riggs, managed to keep his woman alive for all four movies.

McClaine: One Ho, average looking, divorced

Riggs: Ho's in different area codes

Sadako of Girth
Yes. Dead hoes.
Because Riggs, in the words of that guy in Bruce Willis' 'The last boy scout', "couldn't protect a warm cup of piss".

Awwwwwwwww poor Riggs.

Wouldnt the nasty gang leave his women alonnnnnnne...?

The reason Holly and him were shagging all those years was that John McClane wouldnt put up with anyone putting moves on his missus, and killed everyone who ever threatened her.

Rogue Jedi
Yeah, and Willis's wife in that movie was a cheating ass ****.

Sadako of Girth
LOL True.

Different character though, there.

Rogue Jedi
He was pretty badass though.

Sadako of Girth
That nose uppercut was typically, brutal and brief.

Sado22
yeah mcclane kept one ugly ass mangina for 2 movies.....and even lost that laughing

Rogue Jedi
laughing out loudYeah Ellis ia tappin dat shit now.

Ahhhhh but he still rules over Riggs "All my women die".

Riggs is a fail cop:
"Serve and protect...?"

"Served everytime he tries to protect" is more like it.

Rogue Jedi
That was so lame I actually LOL'd haermm

Sadako of Girth
Now now. What your missus says to you after youve given her your bestest sweetest lovin', has no place here....! laughing out loud

Rogue Jedi
Even lamer crylaugh

Sadako of Girth
And theres definitely no need to bring up what she said when you tried to make up for it. stick out tongue

Keep it to yourself....have some self respect, man. laughing out loud

Rogue Jedi
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it gets personal.

Sadako of Girth
Why... are we not just dicking around on the internetz....?

And you are the master of making things personal, so 'people in glass houses' and all that....

So calm yourself Elizabeth. You know the stress is no good for the bairn!!! stick out tongue
