Expendables got me in the mood for discussing big-dumb (and not so dumb) action flicks. Predator is one of my favorites (and probably one of the most quotable of all time) but I'm convinced the Die Hard flicks were the best over-all just for being the most consistently good. Even the dumb-as-hell Live Free or Die Hard was pretty fuckwin.
Commando. Fucking Commando.
>>18769You're a funny man, Anonymous, I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last.
I liked Die Hard 2 less than 4.

>>18776I think Die Hard 2 is on the bottom of the list for Die Hard movies.But shit, Die Hard 4 is so dumb. Awesome dumb. But so dumb.
>>18783>Die Hard 2 is on the bottom of the listYeah, seriously. Renny Harlin is such a shitty director, really, and the ridiculous body count and plot progression really gives the series a bad name.Then again, so does Live Free Or Die Hard.Man, why can't McTiernan go back to directing the Die Hard series?

I picked up Universal Soldier for 6 bucks at Best Buy. That movie has horrible one-liners. Also, Dolph Lundgren is awesome.
>>18786Indeed. Harlin's quite the fuck up.
Universal Soldier The Return is soooo bad, goddamn I love it. It just oozes the end of the 90's too. Truly, this is how it died. Video not-quite-related-but-kinda
Having seen it again recently, Die Hard 2 isn't horrible, it has its moments, it's just not as memorable as the others, which I think is more of the script's fault.
