He's coming to town

If you really want the good presents, leave him an MP5k

And his people said, "yippie ki-yay, motherfucker"
- I thought it was "yippie ki-yay, Mr Falcon"

Now I have a machine gun

Ho Ho Ho

I had someone ruin this for me so now it's time to share the love.

If John Mclane had stayed in his lane and left the situation to play out nobody would have died and a corporation would have been robbed.

Weren't they planning on herding everyone to the roof and blowing it up?
The plan was to do that to cover their getaway. Herd the hostages up to the roof, nominally to stop snipers while they got in a helicopter. Then flow it all up. By the time they sorted the body parts and realized they weren't there, they would be gone and safe by a different route.
This is also why getting the detonators back was so important. Without them, they couldn't blow the roof.
- Arguably the police would never have been alerted to the situation and the drastic measures would never have been required.
I'm pretty sure the plan was to take the hostages to the roof, blow up the roof and escape in an ambulance.
Lots of people would have died if Mclane hadn't intervened.
but... corporations are people too 😥

Where's the duct tape? Should have won an Oscar for best supporting actor that year but it lost to Batman's codpiece.

Best to be prepared for the War on Christmas.

Apparently it has happened...

Don’t forget the block of explosives taped to an office chair.

I'm not out at the coast, but we can have a few laughs anyway.

I actually see that becoming the new cookies and milk in 100 years.

this seems more poignant with bruce's all-but-death diagnosis.

Oh nononono that's totally unacceptable. First of all, John McClane is the epitome of toxic masculinity — he smokes, he swears, he shoots guns, and he clearly cannot stop himself from stalking his ex-wife against her clear wishes to be left alone.

Second, he's also a racist, who, in a several acts of clear and utter police brutality murders a calm and well-mannered German gentleman (played by a British actor) and his merry band of European immigrants who are merely trying to settle a dispute between themselves and a Japanese megacorporation in order to improve their local economy and feed starving children at home.

If you're watching this movie in 2023, you're definitely an alt-right terrorist and you belong on a watchlist.
