RJ,

When Riggs was shot at the end of LW2, he survived, but went down, right? Been a decade or longer since I've seen it.

And here's you facing the fact that Riggs has far superior screen feats:



Let's break it down, folks. Riggs is faster than Mac. Is stronger than Mac. Has more stamina. Has greater damage soak. Yes, greater. Proof? LW2. Riggs is stabbed through the thigh by Vorstedt. Vorstedt commences to kick the shit outta Riggs face for a few minutes. He and Riggs grapple. Riggs pulls the blade outta his thigh, then overpowers Vorstedt, running him through. He kill him, then is shot 7-8 times through the lung by a .44. And he lives.

Now......Compare a McClane damage soak scene that compares. Go ahead, I'll wait.


Well fortunately, you wont have to wait long:

Watch Die Hard. We see McClane losing blood constantly after his feet were cut to ribbons, slamming into buildings whilst wrapped in firehose that would have crushed the ribs just from the jerk of deacceleration, and take down and entire team of terrorist by himself. being beaten on all the way and even shot. But McClane didn't rely on Murtaugh to save his life after being shot. Nope he proceeded to pwn the guy who shot him, and all that guy's mates too.
Shit McClane even shot himself in die hard 4.0. Thats how little being shot bothers him.

All Riggs could do was to mouth off about shooting himself.

The man eats bullets for breakfast.


So as we can see, even in a "shoot yourself" competition, Mac pwns PC. (poncey cop stick out tongue )

Well, you got a point, but who's to say which took more out of them? That much abuse done to Riggs in a few minutes, not to mention the family of .44's in his lung, come on, you can't deny that's impressive. Mac never took mortal wounds and lived. The wound he took in LFODH was a flesh wound, that's all, in and out.


BTW, I would have done the same, shot myself, for a loved one. No doubt Riggs would have too.

WTF is poncey?

McClane was shot through the upper chest area/shoulder, twice, dude. That's not just a "flesh wound."

Someone who is overly sytlish for no reason at all than to be, overrated, a show-off in the general manner of things. EG Throwing out a sloppy (and slow) back-kick, when a simple jab or forward foot-plant would have done better, aka the Riggs Method.

Neither did Riggs. If they were mortal words, he'd be dead.

Flesh wound? In the Monty Python Black Knight sense maybe.
The dude shot right through his own collarbone/shoulder...!


Poncey= Brit slang for "Effeminate, frilly, girly, weak, underpowered" etc..

BTW: Screen feats, Dude. Riggs never did.
