The first was such an amazing action movie that the writers had to think of new ways to put McClane in pain. Enter "Die Hard 2." This was an over the top "balls-to-the-walls" popcorn flick that had twists and turns and great one liners. Unfortunately, the producers made a "Formated for Television" version so all the swearing and the extreme violence were brought down to a PG-13 level. Without seeing the original version first, the edited version of the film would make you hate the franchise. But after watching and KNOWING the lines to the original, the formated version is HILARIOUS! Great lines such as "Yippe Kiyay MISTER FALCO" and "OHHHHHHH...... SHOOOOOOOOOT" are just "HU????" I see this movie on at least once a month on either WGN or some random local channel on a Sunday afternoon. Its packed with commercials and its perfect to have in the background while doing laundry or other chores around the house.
