McClane versus Lethal Weapon

John McClane is in place of Martin Riggs. Murtaugh is his partner. McClane must complete the following missions. He obviously has access to the same weaponry/gear that Riggs did, and has the support of the same people that Riggs did.

MISSION ONE: McClane is Murtaugh's new partner. There is tension between them, just as there was between Riggs and Murtaugh. Together they must take on General McAllister, win the day, as Riggs did.

MISSION TWO: McClane and Murtaugh take on the South Africans. Pretty simple.

MISSION THREE: McClane and Murtaugh team with Lorna Cole to take on Jack Travis. Obviously there is no romance between Mac and Lorna.

MISSION FOUR: Mac and Murtaugh against the Triad. Same events as LW4, again, pretty simple.

Like Riggs in the Riggs thread, McClane does not have to do everything that Riggs did, all that matters is that he wins the day. Boss battles, again, McClane must complete them.

So, does McClane clear? If not, how far does he get? Bear in mind that Mac is in his prime (DH1 and 2) for all four missions.

I reckon because McClane doesn't have a relationship with the blond from LW2 he doesn't discover her body.
Therefore he has no grounds for murdering the South Africans.
The South Africans go home unharmed.

He clears the rest.

Well, obviously they'll pick someone near and dear to McClane.

Fair enough they did kill her just because she was with Riggs so.....

Or that scene, where Riggs came outta the water and killed those guys, maybe Mac is simply pissed because they're GONNA kill someone close to him.

If anyone killed anyone close to John, they'd be instantly dead. We all know this.

Nah, he's a mortal man with mortal powers. They'd likely be dead, but he'd have to find them and kill them.

Nice thread Rj. I think McClane would be able to take scenario 2-4 easily. I'm not sure if he would be able to clear scenario 1 because i'm not sure whether or not he would be able to escape the shock torture. I'm sure he'd be able to put up with the pain but i don't know about escaping. Although, i don't know that he'd be captured because i doubt he would have situated himself in the same position with a sniper rifle where Riggs did. McClane seems more like an in your face kind of guy. I think he would probably have rigged the surrounding area with explosives some how lol

As I said before, Mac doesn't have to duplicate what Riggs did, bear that in mind. But then, how would he and Rog rescue Rianne? But then, shit, the rescue was fail haermm

This is what makes this thread and the new Riggs thread such good threads, the twists and turns that they can take.

yeah, it definitely was fail but i think McClane could do it. I think one of the things McClane has on Riggs is his problem solving skills. I'm going to have to think on this more. Maybe i'll go watch some Lethal Weapon tonight.

Actually he has the McClane factor.

And that is no normal mortal human power.

Mmmmmm......If Mac took a heads on approach rescuing her, he would be killed.

Speculation.

He didn't mention an awful lot of things. Air etc for example, yet McClane is CLEARLY breathing on screen.

Some things are just obvious.

Uh........K......

Anyhoo, Mac dies during the torture scene, OR during the Rianne rescue.

Nope. Not with THAT McEndurance.

And nahhhhhh McClane'd EASILY do that scene.
His Holly rescue at the end of DH1 was an example of his cunning.

How? How would he kill Inzo? He never, not once showed the agility and leg strength and training to do that.

McClane soloes, he doesn't roger's help, he'll also shag Rianne after he saves the day

the end...

Bullshit, bullshit and more bullshit.
