Did we already discuss this here? Pretty significant year for several forum fans of this title. My favorite piece on this is here: Link. It brings together several movies we often talk about here: Predator, Aliens, Under Siege, and the Rambo movies.

Also a good time for lovers of this print to thank Derann for printing the first three installments ...... and thanking Derann for not printing parts four and five!

Thanks for posting this Akshay...I'm an absolute die hard (pun intended) Bruce Willis fan. The first Die Hard movie is such a classic and the forerunner to so many action movies to follow. Tomorrow I'm going to go see Bruce's latest action flick... RED 2.

Yippee Ki Yay! [Cool]

Janice, what is going on in this photo? I don't nderstand.
Agree too on Bruce Willis. Tell us if you like 'Red 2', the cast is strong for sure.

You must know by now Akshay what a hands-on person I am. I couldn't resist putting my hands where Bruce Willis put his hands in the cement in the front of Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood. [Smile]

I agree! I have this first film on super 8 scope and it's AWESOME.

(and the "Willis" is still damned good!)

I just got back from watching RED 2. I liked it...worth my $10 ticket...a hot dog...and a Coke. I'm not a big action movie buff...but I won't miss a Bruce Willis movie and action movies are best seen on the big screen. It moves very fast and I sometimes lost track of who was a bad guy and who was a good guy. The rolls kept switching back and forth. However, sometimes it just didn't matter...the fight and chase scenes were exciting and the tongue-in-cheek banter between the characters was very funny. It was very well cast and I'm looking forward to more future RED movies.
