10 Film Sequels And Spin-Offs That Should Never Have Happened
6. A Good Day To Die Hard
Rumours persist that Twentieth Century Fox released a sequel that called itself a Die Hard movie and thought it was a Die Hard movie but caused everyone who saw it to call bullsh*t because it didnt feel like a Die Hard movie. Such rumours remain unsubstantiated because those viewers have retreated into a state of denial.
Playing more like a very poor mans 24 movie than a Die Hard picture, sequel #4 is a ginger-haired stepchild that deserves to be beaten at every available opportunity. There isnt a single memorable moment in the entire film, and nothing in Skip Woodss screenplay suggests he did anything more than dust off an unproduced script, change the names and ask the studio, Will this do?
Youre off to a bad start when a character who hates flying has no problem taking a plane to Russia on a moments notice, but why stop there? Randomly throw in an unexciting chase sequence, add a few flat and unremarkable villains, sprinkle with crap one-liners and presto! youve made a worse movie than Under Siege 2: Dark Territory.
