I like Die Hard 2 but I like 3 a little bit more. I think it goes Die Hard 1 > 3 > 2 > 4.0, I try to forget about 5 I'd have to re-watch 'em all though.

Christmas Vacation is so damn good.

 

[Chris]

Yeah went with Christmas Vacation myself too

Is Die Hard 2 the one with the naked karate guy?

 

[Smart Marx]

I’m so happy 2 is in here. I might like it more than 1.

 

[Smart Marx]

Is Die Hard 2 the one with the naked karate guy?

It is. They hijack the air controllers.

Die Hard 3 is a summer film

 

[Moon Bird]

Male nudity gets my vote every time.

 

[Keith]

Die Hard 2 is a solid sequel, but nothing more. Vacation takes this for me. Its peak era Chase, and is a fun family movie with good gags and a bit heart too.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Voting die hard 2 because John McLain is a national treasure
