Again, Riggs doesn't need luck. He gets by on skill. McClane has luck because he NEEDS it.

That and on the interventions and bodyfluids of his partner Murtaugh, obviously.

McClane has skill AND luck.

In the words of Fred Dryer as Hunter: "Works for me". 💃

It's not just luck, it's sheer insane levels of skill and resourcefulness.

EG he didn't accidentally run over a fire hydrant and the helicopter just happens to be in the exact position where one of the gunmen was knocked off. It was planned and executed on the fly. McClane's likely a genius.

Exactly. 💃

He has skill, no doubt, but it's not on the same level as Riggs. Riggs fights 4-5 men at a time. Mac always has trouble with one.

Mac clears by shooting yipee kai aye's at his enemies

Whatever the case, Mac dies in the drowning scene from LW2.

You lie again.

Watch the lift in Die Hard 3. Look at him killing cars full of bad guys.
Watch him zippo 15 top marines to death.

McClane routinely engages and destroys enemies in mulitiples.

Whereas, Riggs always gets in trouble against one guy, and Roger has to bail his ass out (If the missus isnt around to rescue Riggs).....

Nahhhhh. McClane is better underwater/and escaping water than Riggs, (DH3 twice) and better at protecting people under water than Riggs is (DH3 once). 🙂

He wouldn't get out of the bag, fool, his shoulder was never injured.

Whoa, whoa, whoa and whoa. Why does it have to happen the same exact way? In Riggs Vs Diehard films you argued Riggs wouldn't magically be in the same scenario in facing off against an F-35, but now McClane has to find himself in a bag? Which wouldn't be a problem though, the guy has super-human levels of strength when he needs it. Might as well be a paper bag.

Obviously that's IF he is in the bag, dude 🙄

So he can tear apart a thick ass canvas bag AND break the chains? Neat!!!! Just so you know, Mac just called. Tell Rob to stop dragging his teeth, he says.

Robtard was right RJ, you're constantly trying to stack the game..
Sure sign of a man that knows Riggs is outclassed.

Mac would never allow himself to get caught biscuits

Precisely.

That leads to him rescuing Rog.

He fails here.

What? Men with guns, this is McClanes challenge?

He doesn't have to barge in like Riggs, who is more confident of his H2H abilities than McClane, he could slip in the room and make for somebodies weapon (and use him as a human shield). Once he's got that he picks them off.

I said this and I agree, if Vorstedt puts him in the water in that bag and chains there is no way he's getting out of it.

But if we are to assume that McClane is still married to Holly its unlikely he'll be close to Rika so its likely this scenario wouldn't come about.

Slip into the room, how?

Quietly. Stealthily. McClane-ily. Thats how.
Maybe he comes in through an air vent like he does frequently in the movies.

haermm Riiiiiiiiiiight. All in time to save his friend.

BOOM *Rog is dead, Mac fails.*

Yep he specialises in such rescues/escapes for he is McClane..
And he bursts through the vent and PWNS. Remember DH2? With those bad guys in the annex?

Dead.

McClane'd.

🙂

Not enough time, dude. AND there were no vents shown in those scenes.

You do know what air conditioning is, doncha?
