10 Best Buddy Cop Movies Of All Time
7. Die Hard With A Vengeance
The third instalment in the Die Hard franchise sees Bruce Willis’ John McClane teamed up with Zeus Carver, played by Samuel L. Jackson himself. Unlike the previous films of stopping crimes currently ongoing, McClane and Carver are sent running all over New York trying to defuse bombs left to distract them.
Brilliantly directed by John McTiernan, Die Hard With A Vengeance has tons of drive, humour and friendly conflict between the veteran hero and his new sidekick. With A Vengeance is a good twist on the previous films as the puzzles provide a twist of reasoning to the otherwise non-stop action.
The friction between Carver and McClane makes for one of the more antagonistic teams out there, but it is their balance of intellect and experience which truly puts Die Hard With A Vengeance on the list.
