Throwback Thursday… Yippee-ki-yay
Throwing you back to 1988 for this Throwback Thursday…
Die Hard
~~~~
Okay, I’m a fan of action movies. It’s no secret. And Bruce Willis action movies are high up there on my favorite list. He’s got a wide range of movies out there, doesn’t he?
But Die Hard has to be one of my favorites.

I even liked the fourth one.

I love the “You just killed a helicopter with a car” -“I was out of bullets” part. That was freaking awesome.
Now, the Die Hard #2 and #3 weren’t high on my “like” list, but still….
Bruce has aged well with these movies.
IMDB shows there might be another one? Die Hard 5. Has anyone heard about that?

I enjoyed the first, but stopped there. Normally I’m disappointed with sequels, so I move on. Please don’t throw eggs at me…… 🙂 Happy Thursday!
Lynn Rush
No eggs are getting thrown from me. I usually agree. It was the same with Die Hard. #2 and #3 didn’t do so well….#4 did, but that’s strange. Unlike Terminator. The 2nd one was almost better than the first! LOL
Lindsay
#1 and #4 were the best. Another really good Willis movie is Tears of the Sun
Lynn Rush
Tears of the Sun…not sure I’ve seen that. I agree #1 and #4 are the best! Can’t wait to see what they dream up for #5
Lindsay
This thing I like about Tears of the Sun, it’s a spec ops movie.

oooohhhh, Lynn- I’m in a paroxysm of joy here- I ADORE this movie!! I, as usual, love the bad boy more than the hero. This was the movie where I fell in love with Alan Rickman. THANKS for making my day!!
My #2 son always says this is his favorite Chriistmas movie!
Lynn Rush
Alan Rickman. He did so great as the bad guy, huh?
Christal Murphy
I’m with you Lynn. I love the die hards. #1 was awesome. #2 wasn’t too bad. #3 was a disappointment. #4 was awesome. I love Justin Long in that one and all the humor. If there’s a #5 coming, I’m one happy girl.
I love Bruce Willis in almost everything. He tends to play quirky characters and does them very well. Red was another great movie – helped that it also has Morgan Freeman and John Malkovich, two more actors I love.
Lynn Rush
Yeah, I saw Red. Didn’t much care for it. Wasn’t horrible…..but I’ll stick with Die Hard 🙂

A fifth one? Oy. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Die Hard movies, but really? Are they going for a Rocky thing–there’s like 500 of them. 😉
Lynn Rush
LOL!!!! I know, right? I just hope it’s good. Otherwise, it’s just tarnishing a great thing. It’s like, Stop while you’re ahead!
Kendall Grey
Did you see the one with all the old guys? I think it was called “Red” ? That was awesome. Helen Mirren with a machine gun = priceless. I like Bruce Willis too, but I haven’t seen all the “Die Hard” movies.
Lynn Rush
Yeah, Red. It was “okay”…not my fave, but intersting. Yeah, that Helen Mirren with a gun was pretty cool!

Okay, I’m killing myself laughing right now. Lone Star? I must have Spaceballs on the brain. I meant Lone Ranger!! ROFLOL
Lynn Rush
LOL!!! Started too early this morning, Danica!
I do that OFTEN!
danicaavet
This is one of my favorite movies ever. I will watch it any time it’s on. It’s just…awesome! LOL I don’t think I even saw the 2nd one. The 3rd one was okay because Samuel L. Jackson and Jeffery Irons was in it. Haven’t seen 4 either and now there’s a 5th???
Oh, did you hear that they’re making a Lone Star movie? Johnny Depp is playing Tonto.
Lynn Rush
I’ll be interested to see what they do with Loan Ranger! 🙂
Ciara Knight
I haven’t heard about Die hard 5. You are right, he’s had a great career. He’s always been sexy while doing it to. 😉
Lynn Rush
And looks great bald!
