13 Worst Movie Sequel Titles Ever

6. Die Hard 4.0

Most of the Die Hard sequels actually have pretty decent titles: there's Die Hard 2: Die Harder and Die Hard with a Vengeance, and as much as the fifth film sucked, A Good Day to Die Hard is neato.

If you live in the U.S., the fourth film meanwhile has the God-tier moniker Live Free or Die Hard, but in most other regions, it was given the groan-worthy title Die Hard 4.0.

This is presumably because the rest of the world isn't necessarily aware that the phrase "live free or die" is the motto of New Hampshire, but even so, do they really need to know that? On its own terms it's a freaking badass title.

Die Hard 4.0, meanwhile, sounds like a crappy video game sequel and nods too heavily towards the movie's tech-inclined leanings in the absolute worst way possible.

The planned sixth Die Hard movie, simply called McClane, isn't much better, but at least it doesn't sound like some cheeseball 90s straight-to-VHS cyber-thriller.
