Die Hard 2 was on the telly-box the other night. It's rubbish. Herself forced me to stay up while she watched it, so I played Scrabble on my iPhone. Anyway, watching the rubbishness of 2 reminded me of the brilliance of 1.
Brucie and his dirty singlet; Rickers and his German accent; 'Hans, booby, I'm your white knight'; the awful Bonnie Bedelia; it's all good, even the ridiculous sentimental stuff.
I bought my Old Man Die Hard on video one Christmas, and I think that's the copy the Parent still watches. She has a pash for Brucie - sensible woman.
It's a great one at Christmas. The others are rubbish. Die Hard - still fighting.

The first hour of the third one is very good, a french letter to manhattan. The fourth has its moments too, and I enjoyed it, somewhat suprisingly.
ReplyDeletei concur that the seond one is poop. i think the others are passable. the jeremy irons overacting in the third one is so bad it is great.
ReplyDeletewhen baby t has a little sleeveless vest on we call her 'die hard'. that's how iconic brucie baby is.
