Uh, no.

He was a New York City detective.

Big difference.

If you think anything Die Hard, ever, is lame, YOU are lame.

Even the airport Die Hard was great.

Blowing up an airplane while the villain is getting away is just fantastic.

Correction, blowing up the plane while the villain gets away by leaving a trail of gas along the runway THEN while the plane was in air the stream of fire followed the plane killing 30+ terrorists AFTER one of the terrorist assholes was just ran through the planes turbines... awesome movie is awesome.

Like I said before I wish 4 had been rated R. It would have been much better without trying to be PG-13 McClain.

Yeah the fourth neutered his Yipee Kay Yay Mother ****er, and on the PG13 version you can tell that the actor clearly says a curse word and something completely different comes out. Almost as bad as when cable TV makes the person say "Cheese and Rice." I thought 3 was right behind the original, the only thing that was bad about 3 IMO was the end battle with the baddie. Went by way too fast, and then he shoots the electrical line killing the chopper. It sounds like a great way to kill the last guy but it should've been more epic than it was.

It was epic enough because he had only one bullet if I recall.

I could not stop laughing when I saw the beginning of that movie with Briluce Willis wearing a sign that says I Hate Naggers.

Heh. Apparently he goes and gets his son. More interested.

My rankings were: 1, 3, 2, 4.

I loved the first three. Die Hard is my favorite movie ever. I've owned it on VHS, DVD, and Blu-Ray. I'd buy it on Laser Disc if I had one. Vengeance is great. The cat and mouse chase with the riddles adds an intellectual layer that is absent in almost all action films. The second film is a pretty generic sequel, but has some awesome scenes in it. The last one was too ridiculous. The F-22 scene made the ejection seat scene with the 45 second fused grenades seem plausible.
