Whle I agree that it was the second best Die Hard in that it was actually a really good movie, I don't think Willis should keep making DH movies. The reason why DH4 worked was because they accepted his age and explored it. But you can't do that for another 2 movies. It'll just get silly.

marwash22
continue the series, replace Willis with someone who doesn't need icy/hot between takes.

Bruce is very difficult to give direction too.

Really? That's interesting. I did not know that, obviously.


Expand on this with some examples. Give me some links because I had trouble finding something.

Hes a *******, he does it his way and thats it. Did you ever noticed that he has never changed his acting style for any of his roles, its the same sound and look etc.... its always Mclane aka Mr tough guy.

Or, he can't act well anyway...

Both.

Well he's dabbled in enough comedies, whether hit or miss to know that Willis can be versatile.

However he's done enough movies where his character is burnt-out for whatever reason to know that he plays the part well.

4 Die-Hard films,Striking Distance, Hostage, 16 Blocks, Last Boy Scout was the burnt-out, disgraced cop..."just doing his job."

Pulp Fiction- washed out former boxer.
5th Element- washed out taxi driver.
Sixth Sense- washed out father/husband.

Hollywood knows what to expect & he plays the roles well.

steverules_2
I liked him in that movie The jackal, he played the role of an assassin very well

Time for a mod to rename the thread.

I prefer the title of the second movie in the series...die harder

Kazenji
That 4th movie i reakon it had the better title for it outside of America 'Die Hard 4.0' rather then the other one.

Regardless of name, I hate that I had to watch the unrated version to enjoy it the most

Kazenji
Yeah what were they thinking when releasing a cut version of it for the cinema and we had to wait fort uncut version DVD/Blu-Ray.

yeah...,live free or die hard...,that's just gold. It tells you exactly what you're in store for laughing out loud Other than the first one ive always looked at the die hard movies as cheesy. Yeah, they have style, memorable characters and big budgets but 2-4 were all kinds of cheese infested but thats what makes them so good.

What does everyone think the weakest of the series is?
I think the second one is the worst and just an overall bad movie even if it is still fun to wtch

steverules_2
I'd say 3...I quite liked 2, it was good for a sequel...it was no terminator 2 or Aliens which are examples of great sequels...but it was ok. I liked the ending the best, IMO best use of the 'Yippee kai muthafuka!' Blows up a plane and uses that famous line, golden smile

too bad for russia?.. how come?....anyway die hard..lets wait and see smile

4 actors to play Bruce Willis's son

did'nt know he had a son.....i know he had a daughter from what the last movie showed.

In the first movie it was shown that he had a son

Sadako of Girth
Yep. John Jr.

Myth
I'd be cool with Jesse from Breaking Bad.

Sadako of Girth
Yeah he totally should get the job.

The right mix of non-superhuman/blue collar guy with the action smarts and comedic chops too.

And he can act.

Certainly out of that list of the alternatives they apparently were considering, he is the true McHeir.

steverules_2
I see a mod changed the name of the thread, last time I was here it was still called Die hard 24/7

Sadako of Girth
Thats wise. The 24/7 didn't fit a fifth movie numerologically..

steverules_2
A lot of people think the 4th movie was better than the first but for me I totally disagree, the 4th movie was good...better than the last 2 sequels anyway...but still I think the first one for me will always be my favorite. I dunno how film 5 will play out, seems they are adding Mac's kids into the main storylines now.

If they somehow work Riggs into it and have Mac kick his ass then the 5th movie will definately be my favorite.

Sadako of Girth
I disagree with that, too.

I think its was good, but the 1st is king.

Hahahahah for it to be a fair faight, McClane would have to be magiced back to 1986 to face a version of Riggs than didn't need a zimmerframe and grandpa diapers.

Or maybe it could be present day, but nick (Murtaugh's Son) would have to come in and save Riggs all the time like his father before him.

steverules_2
If Riggs got his ass handed to him by Mac I'd wanna be there when RJ see's it just to see the butt hurt expression on his face, would be classic...I miss that dude

I remember watching an episode of the office where they are talking the first and fourth movie (Michael gets the scene from the fourth film wrong, he said he crashed a motorcycle into a helicopter when it was in fact a police car) and Michael talks about why the first movie is better than the fourth movie and he actually made some pretty good points. I can't really remember them step by step but everytime I see that scene I agree with what he's saying.

Sadako of Girth
"If?"

Cool....I'll look that up. smile

steverules_2
"If" as in "If we ever got to see it on the big screen"

It's a pretty good show smile

I fixed the title. I figured it appropriate.


I still havent seen DH4.

steverules_2
You should, it's better than the last 2 sequels IMO

I didn't either. People were asking me at the time why I wasn't interested; I said 'It's over, already. Willis and company are just humping a corpse.'

Kazenji
I read Willis would like Len Wisemen (Did the last movie) back to direct this one.

steverules_2
I hope he can pull off what he did last time

Esau Cairn
Originally posted by roughrider

Regardless of whether it was another Die hard movie with Willis playing the role of Mclane...the movie had a decent story line with some decent action sequences.

It had some ridiculous action scenarios (like the other Die Hards) but also balanced out with strong characterisations (issues of Mclane's age & introducing him as a father).

If anything, it's worth watching just so you'd have a valid opinion of the movie rather than not watching it because you feel it's redundant.

And as far as "humping a corpse", I think Willis/Mclane is the only actor with a more plausible role then say Arnie or Stallone reprising Terminator or Rocky/Rambo.

Esau Cairn
I just read the next Die hard is going to be set in Russia with Maclane & his 2 sons battling terrorists.

He doesn't look like him at all. This one better be rated R unlike the mockery that was DH4.

Patient_Leech
Oh, thank god Len Wiseman isn't directing again. His style worked perfectly for Underworld, but it was just too over-the-top for Die Hard. Apparently John Moore is directing. I dunno.. I'm not sure going to Russia to fight terrorists is a good idea. They should go back to basics, man... put him back in a building and just make the building a bit more... unique.

What makes the Die-hard series fun IS the Over The Top action sequences.

They may be logically impossible & filled with plot induced stupidity but only Willis (not Cruise) can make them plausible.

Patient_Leech
Yes, the action is important. However, I don't remember too many specific examples (cuz it's been too long since I've seen Live Free...), but I remember there being silly fight scenes that just didn't feel real. I seem to recall some tiny girl beating John (or somebody) up and it just didn't have the raw, grounded feel that the original film had.

I think you're talking about Maggie Q.
She's quite the action heroine in her own right.
Nikita the series fer starters & about 80% of all her previous movie roles features her fighting & shooting...

Originally posted by Psychotron

I agree that the tone of DH4 was softer but that's no real reason to say it was a mockery. IMDB'ers say the same things, there's no brutal violence, there's no (or very little) swearing, McClane's not as wisecracking or brash, the stunts were outlandish etc.

Stupid arguments really because the plot is centred more around computer hacking than any real threat of violence, (DH3 has desultory fight scenes/violence but thats left alone), the swearing and the brashness are toned down because McClane is older and probably can't be bothered to trash talk. The stunts? Outlandish? Have they not watched the previous films or what?

This isn't directed at you specifically Psychotron, just a breakdown at some of the comments I've heard about DH4.

Lord Shadow Z

Well, I think they were more disappointed in the theatre release (I saw it on DVD first) so that might be part of it, but from reading the comments they generally dislike the whole movie, from plot to the execution of it. More than one of them say it's not 'a die hard film' and I strongly disagree.

Meh. John Moore has been directing since Behind Enemy Lines in 2001; nothing has been decent yet.

I'm not disappointed about Len Wiseman not being around, either. The best asset he has is his hot wife Kate Beckinsale, who will do any movie hubby asks her to. wink

I gave the last one a pass (Len Wiseman = Suck) Bruce, you retired John McClane once but changed your mind.

Just stop. Please.

The Die Hard franchise is much better & more credible than Arnie or Stallone revamping their "action" status on the big screen.

Where you getting your info from?

about another gruber being in this 6th movie.

steverules_2
I made it up

In all honesty I did like the look of this new movie, I had to go to youtube though cause the one posted above was taken down. To be honest though it's like they aren't using John for this one much, more like his son's kicking ass and Johns coming along for the ride as his side kick..Die Hard's always been John with a side kick so I dunno about this change if there is a change at all but I'll wait and see.
