All time classic!

The first of the Die Hard movies was definitely the best. Some of the others were quite good though. I wonder if he has another one of these in him?

It was pretty revolutionary for its time - a hero who isn't a superhero, who gets hurt, bleeds, suffers and complains. Bruce Willis played it perfectly and Alan Rickman as the criminal mastermind masquerading as a terrorist was awesome as well.

I read the book this was based on and they made a LOT of changes that worked out pretty well. In the book, the protagonist was a terrorism expert, the antagonist was an actual terrorist, the wife was instead his daughter and she died trying to hang on to an expensive watch or bracelet or something, if I recall.

Yippie-Ky-Yay, Fother-muckers!

I read these Die Hard books too and I believe there were several of them but do not remember much more than I read them way back.

Guess there was just one. Roderick Thorp - Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roderick_Thorp)
