This... probably goes without saying, but it is kind of fun to note how the third Die Hard is actually the first to depict McClane in his native New York setting.

The first film sees John in LA, still a member of the NYPD, while the first sequel has McClane now working as a detective for the LAPD, this time stuck in Virgina, making With a Vengeance the first film in the series to show the NYPD officer in his own jurisdiction.
