I love it every time I watch it

Me, too. I loved Bruce Willis in Moonlighting. What an amazing transition in roles. And he carried it off so well!

I cringe at the barefeet and shattered glass.

Yeah, that seen causes me to squirm just a bit, because I have stepped on broken glass.

What is amazing to me is how it’s an action movie in which the action doesn’t get started until about 45 minutes in. Character development is important!

The original book is a good read too, if you can find a copy.
To: dfwgator
GREAT PICTURE! So miss Alan Rickman’s acting in new projects. He was dynamite.

It’s an addictive YT channel.
I saw it in the theater way back when and some parts bothered me even then as a teenager.
If you want an action movie so bad that in a way it’s good, try Samurai Cop.

LOL Exactly. It has become a family tradition to watch “Die Hard” on Christmas Eve. Great film.

Who would win in a fight: John McClane or Jack Bauer?
