(296people)- You can tell it's loosely based on the communist radical raf groups of West Germany and europe and other LIKE-Minded silly radicals, And I enjoy that he is fighting these commies in this movie, plus you got officer winslow from Family Matters. Great Action.
- I always enjoy the die hard series, this is the first one and I think the best one
- First in the series and best until the last one. Decent plot and good acting for movie with more gun shots than spoken words. If you are into action movies then you will like this one.
- Bruce Willis first big screen staring role was quite a jolt to fans considering its very different tone from his star making vehicle, the TV series "Moonlighting".

>In Moonlighting, Willis was perfect romantic comedy material, but his ability to perform deeds of heroism was very much in doubt. <

>The cocky attitude came thru from the TV role, but added to it was a capacity to direct action and violence that was entirely lacking his previous performance. <

>Often actors take a while to find the vehicle that best defines their movie career. Willis was lucky (or unlucky) to hit the mark on his very first try. Although he has branched into other types of roles in the decades since Die Hard, his subsequent roles are always measured against this one. <

>The movie itself is an action delight. It was very unique when made, but spawned the myriad "heros who never give up and defy all pain and obstacles" movies that have been made since. It has been copied so many times and by so many major stars that the list is too long to even begin. <

>Die Hard also gave us the most profane "best remembered line" in the history of movies. LOL - This is the first time I have seen this movie but did see the latest Die Hard movie. I found the language to be very expletive driven. I have seen other action movies which didn't have such a bad vocabulary. I bought the movie because I liked Live Free or Die Hard. I liked the Bruce Willis character much better in the sequel. I actually bought this film to see Alan Rickman. Mr. Rickman was so good as Hans Gruber. I can see why he was hired as a bad guy in some further movies (yes, I know he played villains on stage but I didn't see them).
