John McClane VS Martin Riggs

Started by Sado2233 pages

That bee-otch in in DH..? If she didnt get that truck up her arse, then as tough has she was for a chick, she couldnt have survived another couple of shots from a puncher like McClane. Thats why Heavyweight Male boxers dont fight bantam weight female opponents, cause their frames/bodies couldn't take the punishment.
Even as an older guy he would have f***ed her up on the first decent landed hook to the jaw, regardless of her training.

and yet he didnt'. which is the point. she just right about came and spanked him up all the same.

The thing thats being overlooked in DH1 by the pro-riggs folk here when downplaying the "glass in feet thing is, its not about the just the glass, its the massive bloodloss that ensued. Look at how much claret he left trailing behind him after his escape....!! (Why didnt Han's guys follow that trail...?) That'd f*** up anybody's shit.
Try giving like 3 pints of blood and going for a 4 mile jog if you dont believe me.

try getting electrocuted and tortured for hours and THEN go for a jog? 😬

Yup. Spanked him, burped him, smacked him on the bing bong.

Well if you wanna talk what happened being all that matters:
Then "he still killed her" wins.

Not as impressive as massive blood loss.
And it didnt seem to be hours he was electrocuted for to me.

Yeah Riggs chopper in 1 was on the move, McLane's was at a standstill.

Not that it really matters, the whole helicopter thing came about to see who is the better shot, and it has been firmly established that Riggs is a superior shot.

Long distance shot maybe, but theres nothing inferior in McClane's shooting.

How many more moving targets do you want than all the people, cars planes and things McClane killed...?

If they are say, twenty or thirty feet apart, yeah, Riggs long distance shooting will come into play. Even more so at close range.

Dude, look at the fight at the end of LW2. McLane wouldnt have been able to pull that off and survive.

Whereas McClane his killed every single helicopter he has faced.

[/i] 😛

Hmmm, since the helicopter in DH1 was blown up from the roof being rigged from Hans. During that time McClane was trying to hide from the helicopter and jumped off the building.

Mhm, good point.

He'd fluke it by luck.

With McClane's legendary jamminess, Riggs might slip on a banana peel. 😛

Did you not see the flippant part of my post acknowledging that...?
Im not seriously putting that DH1 chopper down to McClane.

The others I do though.

McClane takes this, Riggs usually needs the help of his negro side-kick to win, he couldn't even take out Jet Li by himself, as where Mcclane would have just shot his ass and belched out a cheesy one-liner.

Its true.

Only James Bond, Austin Powers and 80s era Arnold Schwarzenegger could dream of matching McClane's capacity cheesy line delivery.
But McClane has a prestigious line in verbal abuse to accompany it.

"Why walk when you can take the car...?"

If I could beat an opponent in battle by either fighting and then simply knocking them out like every other action movie,
or by cramming as much Land Rover as a I could into their anus as they fall down an Elevator shaft as a finishing move..?

The car option would be the more entertaining/tempting. 😛

Especially after they have kicked me in the face but failed to kill me......

(And that chick failed to kill a lone McClane.)

She then payed the inevitable price.

That finishing move should be incorporated into the next Mortal Kombat game.

Why are these fools arguing that McClane getting kicked about a bit is somehow a negative? When as you explained, his opponent eventually had to pay the McPiper, as they all do.

Could Riggs use a Crown Victoria to take out an airborne helicopter filled with armed shooting men? Could Riggs have survived the F-35 attack? Could Riggs have defeated that French mercenary parkour guy without his side-kick? Answer to all is: NO

Bonds lines are cool!

(Post-Golden Eye movies suck btw (other Brosnan films had some moments, but on the whole, not up to par) . Just had to add that).

Im more a fan of old school Bond too. (Not that Im hardcore though)
I thought the reboot Casino Royal was pretty cool though.

Bond films need bigger more exciting plots, larger than life villains, and some humour.

I thought Casino Royale was somewhat acceptable as a reboot and Bond starting out as a "rookie" and he hasn't developed the charismatic Bond style yet. But in QoS he was just as rugged, and lacked charm that all the previous Bonds had.

Even though I do enjoy the old Bond films (yes, even the Dalton one... somewhat), I am pleased with the direction the reboot is taking.

I also found Craig charming, he has the same ability to screw women as a proper Bond should.

^ I'm thinking the complete opposite. In fact, overall I enjoy older films compared to new ones (lets same after 2000).

Regarding Bond films, I really liked the sharks, the lasers, Jaws, electric eels, Dr evil, and definitely the I-cud-kill-u-now-but-i'll-delay-and-kill-u-with-some-bizarre-method-while-i-reveal-my-diabolical-plans-and-you-can-somehow-escape thing.

Edit: Rofl, just noticed how off-topic we've gone.

Absolutely.
He definitely looks like a emotionallly desolate killing machine when he needs to also.. if he smiled occasionally and had a Scot accent, he'd be Connery.

I like the updated no-messing violence too.
Sheer efficiency and brutality.

McClane would approve.

EDIT: Indeed, Placidity. We are approximately 25 miles south by south west of the thread but its ok this road'll lead back onto it.
As Bond could kill Riggs too... 😛

I'm waiting for one or more of the Riggs' fanboys to retaliate to the awesomeness that is the McClanes feats. Dude survived a jet fighter assault.
