Die Hard Trilogy: New Compact Version

Everyone enjoys a montage, and what is a montage with out music? If you don't have time to watch the Die Hard Trilogy today, at least check out this music video that will get you everything you wanted from the movies in a little over 4 minutes. I know most of us agree that Die Hard 2 was about as useful as Rocky V or Battlefield Earth, but I'd still say if offers one of the definitive Bruce Willise moments when he blows up a plane with only a lighter.

P.S. I never realized it, but John McClane shares essentially the same line of work as Jack Bauer in Die Hard with a Vengeance. Think about it: John deals with terrorists and their attacks on New York City if he doesn't do what they say. There is also a plot twist concerning the attacks and a revelation about the terrorist mastermind. And does anyone think the moment that John scrambles to get a bomb off of a subway car is reminiscent of the moment in Season 6 of 24 where Jack Bauer is also trying to keep a bomb from going off in the subway? Maybe they're related some how. Distant cousins perhaps?
