Die Hard With a Vengeance: One of the Best Bruce Willis Movies?

[@OJ_1138]

The other good part of this film is it makes John McClain an everyman action hero surrounded by people who are willing to do the same. The bomb technician stays behind when he realises there's still kids in the building. The male & female detectives stay to try and rescue the kids. Even the Captain is on the ground trying to rally the squad to help. They all could be a squad of John McClains, we just happen to know Willis' character from previous movies. Sometimes I just like watching competent people be good at their job in movies.

[@wutamanwutman]

YES! I had originally written about that, but cut it out when the video was getting too long. But I love that John isn't at odds with other law enforcement in this movie! (this is my personal account btw)

[@nowayjose596]

I like it when competent people are good at their jobs in real life, too 😊

I like how "just be good at your job" is such a fantasy that it becomes a benchmark of entertainment

In any other action movie they would be generic assholes or inept

[@DetroitAlan01]

This is my favorite Die Hard film because it’s the only one where McClane came off as an actual police officer. Also, he was on his turf and felt more at ease and natural.

[@maxpayne2323]

Same here! The first Die Hard was a great movie, that spawned a whole new genre, but i think DH3 was the superior one.

[@adammartin5809]

Yes. He got to be detective as opposed to be a reluctant hero.

[@awilliams765]

I like one and three the best. Two, just doesn't stand up for rewatching. One and three are classics.

[@OJ_1138]

Die Hard With a Vengeance is not only my favourite Die Hard film, it's one of my favourite action films. The hot and gritty New York setting, the bait and switch plot, the buddy cop relationship. Everything about it (except for the soft ending) is damn near perfect. I can look at a map of New York and follow where John McClain ventured. Sometimes I watch it just to pretend I'm in New York and walking around Battery Park and Wall Street. Fun film.

[@laurarules3642]

Yeah I love the movie but when it gets to the end or the final 10% of the movie I just switch it off

[@wstine79]

[@leejohnstone4663]

It's my favourite

[@leejohnstone4663]

The franchise should have ended with this film. It's a direct sequel to Die Hard so it book ends the Die Hard films and ties up all loose ends

[@antoniokastrocarlisledemel6617]

Jeremy Irons is one of those actors that can read the phone book and make it exciting...i wouldn't call him chilling in this movie though cuz he's never downright evil even when i first saw it as a kid he never truly scared me ..though i never understood him blowing up the train since there couldve been children on it..regardless he's amazing as Simon ...Alan Rickman and Jeremy Irons as brothers he most definitely lived up to Hans

[@incredibilistic]

One of my favorite moments in the movie was when John hitches a ride with a construction worker with an encyclopedia for a brain and a relentless energy to share knowledge. It always makes me smile when John casually drops the question of who the 21st President was and the worker, without skipping a heartbeat (thanks to amazing editing), says "Chester A. Arthur" then quickly and rhetorically asks if John was aware of Arthur's professional tenure in New York. My take away from that scene and character was the epitome of never judging a book by its cover as genius and talent can exist anywhere regardless of a person's demeanor, socioeconomic background or their profession. And yes, this is far and away the best sequel to one of the best action movies ever made. I would also love to see how they shot the scene of John and Zeus driving through Central Park. Sam Jackson looked to be legitimately holding on for dear life at certain moments. Love this movie!! 😀

[@ShrewsburyMon]

That scene helped my wife and I win a board game once, final question about American presidents and I'll never forget that scene (well, the whole film really) so Mr Arthur was my answer for the win 😂

Have to agree out of all the diverse equals this was the better of them, Mostly because it had a great ensemble cast and the fact that Bruce Willis and Sam Jackson work well together too bad they didn't make more films together they made a great Duo.

And it's the first direct sequel Hollywood made. Remember Simon Gruber is the brother of Hans Gruber. That makes Die Hard with a Vengeance a direct sequel to Die Hard

I grew up to watch Bruce Willis, Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Mel Gibson. I love 80s to 90s action movies especially Die Hard series. I rewatch Die Hard 1 to 4 every year. I don't count Die Hard 5 because it suck. The first one is classic. 2 is okay. 3 and 4 for me are so underrated. No one talk about how good in 3 and 4.

[@Batman88878]

My 90s nostalgia is off the charts with this movie. I'll never forget going to Blockbuster Video the day this movie was available on videocassette and enjoying every minute of it watching the movie with my sister and her hot friend Val.

[@anthonymerchant2597]

Yeah I have Die Hard, Die Hard 2, and Die Hard with a Vengence on DVD because they are still some of my favorite Bruce Willis action films. I highly recommend checking out his other early action films that go underappreciated like Last Man Standing which is a action film but set more in the early days of the Industrial revolution in the US kinda of like Peeky Blinders. There is also good comedy with action in The Last Boy Scout which has great comedy as well as action. There are many of Bruce Willis early action films that go seriously underappreciated but my personally favorite is this one for various reasons. I like that you saw his character that showed how he was just this cop from NYC who was just trying to do his job to protect the innocent. This showed more acting skill from Samuel L Jackson which people don't remember it but he was in comedies for years. It was him staring in Pulp Fiction and this that changed that for him. Now he has been in multiple action films but I still remember when he would just appear in a comedy with Eddie Murphy like he does in Coming To America. Nobody seems to remember how he did spoofs of action films like National Lapoon's Loaded Weapon which is also in my personal collection. It's crazy how much as changed since this film was released and this was also the most thought provoking of the Die Hard films with the idea of puzzles being used by the antagonist. This is definitely one if not the best from his movie career from the past several decades. I still remember when people thought he couldn't cut it in action because he had only been in the show Moonlighting where the character he played was nothing like John McClane.

Not only do I love the DH trilogy... I remember my dad renting this one weekend and we had two videos and I would tape films I would like. I had DH1&2 taped off the telly...ive vivid memories of watching DH2 on RTE2(irish channel) late at night in 93-94 a few days after Christmas... I stayed up pausing and starting recording when the ads were on... Anyway anyone remember the Die Hard Trilogy game? I had it for the PlayStation (and a game called Die Hard Arcade for the Saturn, but that was basically Streets of Rage 3d in a skyscraper) It was 3 games. A 2.5d overhead shooter in a skyscraper for DH... A light gun game rail shooter, like Time Crisis for DH2... And a driving game for DH3... You'd have to rocket it around the city to locations to get to bombs within the time limit. There were other mechanics too but it was unbelievably frustrating... You'd have to memorise every route and enemy, obstacle etc and you'd barely have a second left sometimes... The games definitely needed more polish, and maybe be split onto more discs to give them more depth and detail, but for the time it was amazing, novel idea and it took the best elements from each film and it was really fun to play. I never bother with 4&5, to me the ending of the series is with this film. There used to be a video of Kevin Smith talking about working on DH with Bruce and writing the 'warlock' scene and having 'Bruce Willis chicken' and tasty cake and stuff from new Jersey... He talks about Bruce having such a love for the franchise and winning a battle with the studio. While dh2 was a repeat of the first, and yea it was really well done, I am really pleased that this takes a completely different turn, but still FEELS like Die Hard. Bruce and Sam work amazingly well together and yeah it's Riggs and Murtagh at their best. I love Jeremy Irons(only last year I drove past her s big pink castle in Ireland) in anything... Hes easily my favourite Alfred... Definitely a good follow up to Rickman.

Saw the first one sometime in late '88 or early '89 and it was just one of those fun action movies like Indiana Jones meets Bond but far more realistic. This movie, I remember renting some time in '95/96 and then I saw a TV version of it on Fox I believe where they had to make the message on McClane's boards in Harlem less offensive by doing it digitally. I never knew they actually had Willis standing out there with just two blank whiteboards on and added the message in post, which surprised me. For 1995, that was good digital work for such a thing. I own this and the first movie, the second one I can take or leave. I've never seen the other "sequels" as they don't matter to me. The interplay between Jackson and Willis is on fire. You really believe what is going on and what they are saying and having conversations and arguments about. Movie isn't perfect due especially with the ending but it stands up for sure.

@ 13:55 While I would love to see the version with the alternate ending, the major flaw with that is that both of them would probably die anyway regardless of which way the rocket launcher was pointing due to the back blast and the proximity of the explosion.

One problem with the alternate ending: The rocket launcher (an M72 LAW) is a hollow tube that shoots a projectile out of the front and a bunch of flames and plastic chips out of the back. This results in a "caution zone" of 40m behind the weapon and a 15m "danger zone" behind the weapon. They both would have died, or be seriously injured.

[@alastairbeaumont9578]

This is definitely my favourite of the Terror Trilogy. (I call it that because the first one involves a tower, the second involved planes and this one was set in New York). McClane proves that, although he has street smarts and is aware of pop culture, he isn’t the most book smart. His two sidekicks, Zeus “Jesus” Carver and Jerry, are very brainy, despite their jobs as an electrician and a truck driver (not a beautician). I love how similar Peter Krieg (formerly Simon Peter Gruber) and Hans are so similar. But not in a way that the former emulates the latter; They both cover their actual scheme of theft with an apparent motive of terrorism, they both switch to slightly off American accents to hide their identities (despite not revealing their appearance to McClane) and they are both expertly played by classically trained English actors. This film could’ve easily been done as a Lethal Weapon film, or even a stand alone film, but Die Hard absolutely embraced this story. A huge round of applause to all involved.

"You know, your brother was an asshole!" You cannot imagine how much I laughed the first time I've watched that scene. It came out of nowhere and for a second I was utterly shocked thinking "you didn't just go there John you idiot". And then I couldn't hold it in anymore.

I turned 15yrs old in the summer of '95', snuck into this film, & loved this film. They should of stopped after this one. The 4th was alrite, given the actors in it.

I know a doctor here in L.A. that has treated Bruce Willis from his 'Die Hard' days to his very, very sad current state. There's no doubt the making of the the DH films (as its turned out) had taken a terrible toll on Willis, not apparent at the time, but in recent years with the extensive testing he's undergone, yes; without question.

Hensleigh's script is so much better than the film. It actually explains the "water jug" scene and how the solve the riddle. Unlike the film, that just cuts to the answer. Also, Hensleigh is a good screenwriter so his script is a fun read with a more entertaining last act.

I watch this more than the first cause I consider the first a Christmas movie and this an anytime movie. I also get a really dark chuckle out of one scene.
