Directed by: Renny Harlin
Starring: Bruce Willis, Bonnie Bedelia, William Atherton, William Sadler.
Carrying on with the Die Hard Quadrilogy; Die Hard 2: Die Harder is the next film that I am to
watch and review.
Taking place exactly two years after the events of Die Hard, John McClane waits at Dulles International Airport for his wife, Holly, to arrive back from California.
After seeing a guy exercise naked and tearing my eyes out, we find out that terrorists are hatching evil plots again. But this time in the airport.
Many people say that the sequels aren't as good as the first and this one is no exception, however, it is an extremely good sequel but just not on par with the first.
The bad guy this time is Colonel Stuart and holds the airplanes, their passengers, crew and the airport hostage. The terrorists have come to rescue a drug lord from justice.
The stunts in this film are even better than the last; Willis runs about the whole airport in a snowstorm, the amazing fight scenes and the part where he hangs off the wing of an airplane (Wikipedia tells me it's a 747).
Beyond the stunts and special effects is a great storyline. Throughout the film there are plot twists and about up until two thirds of the way through the film, you won't know who is a good guy and who is bad.
Willis once again delivers a perfect role as McClane from the start where he argues with the traffic cop to the end when he delivers his immortal catchphrase "Yippee-Ki-Yay!" before throwing a match at the leacking airplane which then blows up.
A great film but still the weakest one in the quadrilogy.
