I remember when the first Die Hard came out I couldn’t believe that Bruce Willis would play an action star. The guy from Moonlighting? Little did I know the havoc he would reek on those Nakatomi Towers. I like how all the Die Hard movies have the subtext of his estranged wife/ex-wife Holly. In the later movies they don’t even need to cast her in the movie. They just refer to that Gennero last name and add some terrorists. Then they don’t have to bog down the movie with any romantic entanglements. It is just Bruce Willis, some terrorists and more action than you can handle.
