Summary
In this film, detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) tries to stop a terrorist plot at Washington D.C.'s Dulles International Airport on Christmas Eve. After the incident at Nakatomi Plaza, it’s fair to wonder if this guy can ever catch a break.

Josh Hajjar is back to help break this one down. You can find Josh on Instagram @amazingjrab https://www.instagram.com/amazingjrab/. Shoot him a follow.

So, um, so here we are with die hard two. Die hard too. Welcome, Josh. What a classic. Die harder. Die harder. Yes. That's literally what it says die harder. Yeah. I can't know how to, I don't know how to die any harder that I'm already dying. But though I will say that there's a naming pattern for these movies and they didn't follow it with the second one. It's not really called die harder. It's just called die hard too. It's hard too. But then there's die hard with a vengeance, which is the best one. Yes. There's live free or die hard. and then there's a good day to die hard. I've never seen the last two I've heard of it. I haven't seen the last two that they got terrible reviews.

| 2:03.1 | Yeah. |
| 2:03.9 | Like, in the first movie, he's going out to see her for Christmas. |
| 2:11.4 | She and the kids have been living in L.A. |
