8. John McClane Vs. F-35 Fighter Jet - Die Hard 4.0
"Embarrassing" might not be the first word that springs to mind when you recall this scene from the surprisingly enjoyable Die Hard 4.0, but it is for me. Die Hard 4.0 pushes its luck with its action sequences pretty much all the way through the movie, piling on the CGI, until suddenly we're watching a scene where John McClane - driving a truck - is battling against a jet. Okay, so what went wrong? What's so bad about this moment? This is the point in which Die Hard went too crazy, is all. Not to say that the movie is bad, but it might have been genuinely great had the filmmakers grasped the notion of John McClane as a real man and not some comic book superhero - the sequence itself isn't awful or anything, but it's awkward to watch our hero - an old guy - rolling off the end of a bridge onto the top of a jet. You kind of feel embarrassed for Bruce Willis, to be totally honest, 'cause like I said... old.
