DVD Die Hard
This seminal 1988 thriller made Bruce Willis a star and established a new template for action stories: "Terrorists take over a (blank), and a lone hero, unknown to the villains, is trapped with them." In Die Hard, those bad guys, led by the velvet-voiced Alan Rickman, assume control of a Los Angeles high-rise with Willis's visiting New York cop inside. The attraction of the film has as much to do with the sight of a barefoot mortal running around the guts of a modern office tower as it has to do with the plentiful fight sequences and the bond the hero establishes with an LA beat cop. Bonnie Bedelia plays Willis's wife, Hart Bochner is good as a brash hostage who tries negotiating his way to freedom, Alexander Godunov makes for a believable killer with lethal feet, and William Atherton is slimy as a busybody reporter. Exceptionally well directed by John McTiernan. --Tom Keogh
Bummer movie. Thought this would be a film telling men of the world how to die with an erection. Now I know how to die, watching 2 hours of the most farfetched B.S. ever filmed. Chris Rock is great as the limo driver, look for the cameo of Stallone in the background laughing, because a film finally equals "Rambo" in crap.
A great, high-testosterone movie!
When New York cop John McClane (played by Bruce Willis) comes to Los Angeles to spend Christmas with his estranged wife he little realizes just what kind of a party he is going to be joining. Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) is a terrorist with a plan to loot a company of a fortune, and he has the men and weapons to take over the building and get it. However, McClane is loose in the building, and he will stop the terrorists, no matter what it takes! [Color, released in 1988 with a running time of 2:11.]
This is a great adventure movie; indeed it is probably the greatest of them all! Once the action begins, it's almost non-stop, with bullets flying, explosions and fights to the death. Now, when it comes to family viewing, you must know that there is one flash of a topless woman, and a good deal of blood, with one quick scene in which a man's brains are quite literally blown out!
But, that said, this is a great, high-testosterone movie! If you like explosions and gunplay, then this is the movie for you. I highly recommend this movie for adults, but give it a guarded recommendation for younger or more sensitive viewers.
1 of bruce's very best films
this is da movie that made me starting like bruce willis as the next action hero after stallone and terminator man he nearly killed himself to entertain us watching him jump around a thirty story building throughout the entire film was amazing this movie had everything from action, to drama and mixed with a little comedy u got urself one heck of a movie da big bold headed guy from family matters helped make da movie what it is today by being in it as an police officer and da man that plays on all da harry potter films is in this movie he is great at playing a villian he was a terrorist that was wanted to destroy da building that bruce willis and da family matter guy was trying to protect this movie in my opinion turned bruce willis into hollywood top action heros of da decade
Director Renny Harlin (Cutthroat Island) took the reins of this 1990 sequel, which places Bruce Willis's New York City cop character in harm's way again with a gaggle of terrorists. This time, Willis awaits his wife's arrival at Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C., when he gets wind of a plot to blow up the facility. Noisy, overbearing, and forgettable, the film has none of the purity of its predecessor's simple story; and it makes a huge miscalculation in allowing a terrible tragedy to occur rather than stretch out the tension. Where Die Hard set new precedents in action movies, Die Hard 2 is just an anything-goes spectacle. --Tom KeoghMore Info about this DVD Actor(s): Bruce Willis - William Atherton Director(s): Renny Harlin DVD Release Date: Released the 10 July 2001 Usually ships within 24 hours

The second sequel to the mold-making action film Die Hard brings Detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) to New York City to face a better villain than in Die Hard 2. Played by Jeremy Irons, he's the brother of the Germanic terrorist-thief Alan Rickman played in the original film. But this bad guy has his sights set higher: on the Federal Reserve's cache of gold. As a distraction, he sets McClane running fool's errands all over New York--and eventually, McClane attracts an unintentional partner, a Harlem dry cleaner (Samuel L. Jackson) with a chip on his shoulder. Some great action sequences, though they can't obscure the rather large plot holes in the film's final 45 minutes. --Marshall FineMore Info about this DVD Actor(s): Bruce Willis - Jeremy Irons - Samuel L.

Mel Gibson set aside his art-house credentials to star as a crazy cop paired with a stable one (Danny Glover) in this full-blown 1987 Richard Donner action picture. The most violent film in the series (which includes three sequels), it is also the edgiest and most interesting. After Gibson's character jumps off a building handcuffed to a man, and Gary Busey (as a cold, efficient enforcer) lets his hand get burned without flinching, there is a sense that anything can happen, and it usually does. Donner's strangely messy visual and audio style doesn't make a lot of aesthetic sense, but it stuck with all four movies. The DVD release includes production notes, Dolby sound, theatrical trailer, optional full-screen and widescreen presentations, optional French soundtrack, and optional English,...

This is the film that cemented Schwarzenegger's spot in the action-brawn firmament, and it was well deserved. He's chilling as the futuristic cyborg who kills without fear, without love, without mercy. James Cameron's story and direction are pared to the bone and all the more creepy. But don't overlook the contributions of Linda Hamilton, who more than holds her own as the Terminator's would-be victim, Sarah Connor--thus creating, along with Sigourney Weaver in Alien, a new generation of rugged, clear-thinking female action stars. It's surprising how well this film holds up, and how its minimalist, malevolent violence is actually way scarier than that of its far more expensive, more effects-laden sequel. --Anne HurleyMore Info about this DVD Director(s): James Cameron DVD Release Date: Released the 02 October 2001 Usually ships in 24 hours

Do you know anyone who hasn't seen this movie? A box-office smash when released in 1993, this spectacular update of the popular 1960s TV series stars Harrison Ford as a surgeon wrongly accused of the murder of his wife. He escapes from a prison transport bus (in one of the most spectacular stunt-action sequences ever filmed) and embarks on a frantic quest for the true killer's identity, while a tenacious U.S. marshal (Tommy Lee Jones, in an Oscar-winning role) remains hot on his trail. Director Andrew Davis hit the big time with this expert display of polished style and escalating suspense, but it's the antagonistic chemistry between Jones and Ford that keeps this thriller cooking to the very end. In roles that seem custom-fit to their screen personas, the two stars maintain a sharply...
