Riggs foiled the Colonel's plans, the South Africans plans, Jack Travis's plans, and the plans of the Triad in LW4. Chinese Triad>>>>Eurotrash terrorists.Mac is not some rocket scientist, he doesn't even know how to use a fax machine and knows shit about computers.
In LW3, Riggs took out a high rise. In LW2, he took out a big ass house with his truck. So I guess Riggs is better at mass destruction!!!
Let's itemize this, shall we?
[b]DESTROYING BUILDINGS:
Mac took out a few floors of a high rise with C4.Riggs took out an entire high rise with one snip of his wire cutters.
ADVANTAGE RIGGS
USING A VEHICLE AS A WEAPON: Mac killed a skinny asian chick with a Ford Explorer, and took out a chopper with a Crown Vic. Both vehicles were rendered useless afterwards.
Riggs took out a house with his pickup truck. The truck sustained no damage and he drove it to kill the South Africans.
ADVANTAGE RIGGS
DAMAGE SOAK Mac gets the shit kicked out of him on a regular basis, comes back and wins.
Riggs took six .44 caliber rounds to the lung and a bayonet through his thigh and lived to the next movie. And no, Murtaugh did not save Riggs' life here, the S. African was out of ammo. Riggs took all the dude had and lived.
ADVANTAGE RIGGS
MISCELLANEOUS: Mac took out an airliner with his zippo and a long trail of jet fuel. The F-35 doesn't count, it didn't die because of a direct act from McClane. If anything, the F-35 died as a result of it's own actions.
Riggs used the flamethrower guy to take out an 18 wheeler AND a convenience store in one fell swoop. Riggs killed a man with a surfboard.
EVEN
STAMINA: Mac has good stamina, he keeps going and going and going.
Riggs chased down a speeding car, shot it to shit, would have caught Joshua had he not been hit by another car.
EVEN
H2H COMBAT SKILLS: Mac is a brawler, little "skill" if any.
Riggs takes on 4-5 men at a time and wins. He breaks necks like they were toothpicks.
ADVANTAGE RIGGS
H2H COMBAT RECORD: Mac lost two H2H fights, first to the Colonel, then to the Ninja Chick.
Riggs lost two H2H fights. One to Travis, one to Li. He came back and killed them both though.
Te deal breaker here is that Riggs is faster, stronger, has more damage soak, and routinely takes on 4-5 men and wins.
ADVANTAGE RIGGS
When did Mac ever take on 4-5 men and win? I'd really like an answer to this. Wait, I've already asked this several times and it's been dodged.

Wrong thread, but a very good post. I really can't argue with that. I could nitpick, but it would not really change the content. 👆
Let the court show that John had the LW movie marathon due to my force-like persuasion skills. I was all Riggs, the entire time, then suggested he re-watch the LW movies. The ****er actually did it. 😆
