John McClane VS Martin Riggs

Started by Sadako of Girth33 pages

Yup and Karl was a monster too.

Not even gonna comment on Frenchy.

OK I lied.

McClaine didnt beat him h2h, so that was a h2h loss for McClaine. He killed him, yes, but not h2h.

Thread is h2h. If it is about who kills better by freezing their opponent and WATCHING them drop into giant gear cogs, sure, McClaine prolly wins, but what are the odds of the Riggs/McClaine going froma high rise to a cooling tower? Yup, zero.

Karl? Riggs would have beat him to raw hamburger in 5 minutes. Oh, and Al had to save McClaines bacon from Karl. ✅

Irrelevant. McClane bested him in h2h.

Thats all that matters there, in a matter of h2h skills.
He totally ruined Karl and left him hanging.
Im sure if McClane didn't immediately have run upstairs to rescue his wife, he would have been more thorough in making sure he was dead.

When Karl bought out a machine gun, it became a gun fight. Which he lost to Al.

No h2h involved there.

In regards to french Hamster assassin guy, a win is a win.
Without a gun in this case.

You're moving the goal post yet again, a H2H is a H2H, McClaine beat them, it matters not if the final killing move came from a punch to the face or if he slammed their head against a door, it's still H2H.

Let me guess, you'd argue that Bourne couldn't beat Riggs unless he had a pen or or rolled up magazine?

The French dude was an extremely capable H2H combatant; McClaine beat him. The end.

Edit: Riggs probably couldn't beat the Frenchy unless he called in his hero-support Murtaugh.

Conceded.

A win is a win? Is this what you have resorted to? If they had fought to the death h2h, toe to toe, in say, a hallway with no weapons, no SUV's, no helicopters, and no freezie thingies, McClaine would have ben killed. You must know that.

How is it h2h when McClaine is hanging from a cooling pipe? You are using the "He killed her with an SUV" bullshit again.

Bourne would assrape Riggs h2h.

He didnt beat him h2h. The sky is blue. Water is wet. Chill was permabanned. These are facts. The moment McClaine lost his gun and was hanging helpless and frenchy decided to blast him, it became a GUNFIHGT.

Edit: Riggs probably couldn't beat the Frenchy unless he called in his hero-support Murtaugh.
It'd be a helluva lot better fight. Riggs would stand a WAY better chance of winning HAND TO HAND than McClaine did.

Oh yeah, thats right, McClaines magical leprechaun killed frenchy. 🙄

Do I need to intervene here? Something tells me that this is gonna turn nasty pretty soon.

I would spend more time in this discussion, but I have been rather preoccupied lately.

ditto. these two don't chill and i'll personally kick them outta MY thread! 😠

No, its all good, its just that certain people are breaking forum rules by ignoring the conditions of the thread.

Yes, including yourself, flamer. 😉

No, no problem here Impediment.

I am more chilled than you could possibly imagine.. You couldn't anyway. And 'your' thread is a clone thread.

This started as a great thread.

Then I made the mistake of providing the data and facts that proved that McClane is more favourable in the outcome.

And subsequently, the absolute unwillingness displayed by Rogue Jedi to even think about anything said on the other side of the debate has willfully sucked all the intelligence from the process of debate..
Denial of proven facts and figures in substitution of fantasy stated as fact.

When answers cant be provided, the questioned starts to attack the grammar of the questioner, starts with "thick skull" comments etc..
Typical diversionary tactics that save answering the question. It gets the thread no where and all the cheap insults in the world cannot compensate for not having a point.

However it doesnt stop some from trying anyway, it would seem.
And since its become like the pointless exercise akin to banging your head over and over on a brick wall.
So I'll be saying ta-ta to your thread regardless due to the boredom combined with bias and cheap insults..
Now you can keep it as Riggs biased as you'd like.

Enjoy.
😮‍💨

*Cue cheap insult from RJ (who seems to see everything as a stupid personal dick waving competition) behind my back as I part safe in the knowledge that his predictable reaction to this will be "Woooooooo pmed! I Win!" instead of "Oh. Ive ruined the thread."*

i was kidding. if i really gave a shite i would've posted in this thread don't you think? 😬

When I insulted you, did I or did I not apologize sincerely and right away?

How so? It's H2H and a gunfight.

As someone said before, the moment Karl picked up a gun it ceased being h2h, it became a gunfight. So...

The moment McClaine got behind the wheel of the SUV the h2h was over.

The moment McClaine was hanging like a puppet and Frenchy picked up a gun, the h2h was over.

The moment McClaine was ***** kicked off the wing of the Jet, the h2h was over.

Clear enough? Just because his opponent/s ended up dead does not mean he beat them h2h.

Riggs lost one time h2h, against Jack Travis. And, if you recall, Travis was "One brutal cop, as tough as they come."

And dont mention the Jet Li fight. Riggs was being choked out, but hey, he was helpless with his shoulder dislocated, and came back and beat the piss outta Jet Li. If Murtaugh had stayed knocked out, who's to say that Riggs wouldn't have came back and won? After all, how many times has Riggs been near death, then came back and whupped ass seconds later?

On a side note, Murtaugh was in Riggs's way the entire fight. Right at the beginning, he pushes Murtaugh out of the way, remember? And when Murtaugh was wrestling Jet Li, Riggs pulled Jet Li away from Murtaugh. It is quite obvious that he wanted to take him on alone. With Murtaugh in the fight, Riggs had to worry about BOTH of their lives.

Hey, you called me an "idiot" when I proved you wrong (again) when the Lee Vs. Ali was brought up; it was uncalled for.

Apologize.

Yeah, that's why they looked at each other in with that gay-ass look and said something like "shall we do this" when Jet Li was waiting for them down the path? Riggs obviously wanted to fight Li solo, how silly of anyone to think otherwise.

Li was too much for either of them to handle solo, they both knew it, that fight does not go as just a Riggs win. /the end

We dont know for sure what would have happened if Murtaugh had stayed down.

You watch the fight and you tell me when Riggs was facing Jet Li alone whether he was whupping ass or not. Head butt, head butt, head butt, repairs shoulder, wham wham wham, three unanswered ounches, Jet Li was down. And Riggs had plenty more to give.

Let's see, shall we apologize to each other for every insult thrown each others way? You might get writers cramp.

How about we all get back on topic, huh?

For the love of Jane Russell's big, fat, horse's ass on toast, please take any beefs to PM Land.

Thank you.

No we don't and it's irrelevant, him staying down could have meant Li killed Riggs or Riggs could have somehow killed him. He did get up and the fight was clearly a joint-effort, so it is what it is. Riggs AND Murtaugh killed Li. End of story.

No apology need, I was just busting your balls. Besides, a moron like you calling me an "idiot" isn't insulting. (Got ya back)

Back in the 40's, you would have happily gone up that big fat ass, you know.
