More white knuckle action movies where the lead is just like... a competent person, like Speed, and less human tornado of ass kicking please. It bores me to tears now.

Die Hard reinvigorated the action genre just by having the revolutionary idea of a hero who bleeds, and winces in pain, and bitterly curses himself out for his failures

Yeah they went back to McQueen principles, and made McClane even more vulnerable.

Can you imagine if Sinatra pushed to stay in the adaptation?

There's this episode of Mad About You where Paul is really pissed that he's allowed himself to be talked into directing some cheesy NY tourism video about Central Park for the money So they can say they got "award-winning director Paul Buchman" to do it

He's especially mad at the pretense that they're calling the tourism video a "short film" and have given it the title "A Walk in the Park", which they won't allow him to change

And there's a running gag where every time he comes in the room he's still talking about it One of the instances of which is him ranting "They would never have made a Die Hard 2, much less 3, if it were called 'A Walk in the Park'"

I am really mad that this is such a stupid, stupid joke and yet is a completely accurate summary of the appeal of the Die Hard franchise It is, indeed, not a walk in the park
