2. Bullets, Explosions & Other Stunts
If you're thinking to yourself "is that a police car crashing into a helicopter?" after seeing the above image - then yes, yes it is. How many more action movies can you think of where a police car is used as a projectile to take out a helicopter? If the answer is "none" then that's probably because you will only find such zany stunts in the Die Hard series. Whether Hans Gruber is being dropped from a rooftop before meeting his sticky-squishy end on a pavement waiting below or John McClane is treading through broken glass or being shot at by an army of terrorists, you just know that Die Hard is going to provide you with big action. It's almost a case of "whatever will they think up next" and after watching the above scene in Die Hard 4.0, it is difficult to imagine anything else topping it, yet something probably will.
