The Die Hard - The Ultimate Collection may be the best action/adventure series of the last two decades (vastly more enjoyable than the sporadic Bond films, and the self-indulgent Lethal Weapon movies), and a lion-share of the credit must go to Bruce Willis, the wise-cracking, superhuman yet humane hero. Willis became a superstar with the first Die Hard, and he is riveting as John McClain, the New York cop in L.A. With the always watchable Bonnie Bedelia as his wife, and the flashy Alan Rickman as the mercenary/entrepenour, the film is a non-stop rollercoaster ride! Die Hard 2 lacks Rickman's charisma as the villain, but Willis again gives a dynamite performance, and Bedelia is even better than in the first film. Spectacular special effects abound! Die Hard With a Vengence, the weakest of the trio, was originally intended as Lethal Weapon 4, but was rewritten for Willis and Samuel Jackson. Bedelia's absence hurts the third film a great deal, but Jeremy Irons (as Rickman's equally greedy brother) is an excellent villain. Incredible pyrotechnics highlight this film, and Willis is still a joy...And rumor has it, there WILL be a Die Hard 4!

The Die Hard Trilogy is the best pure action trilogy ever made. These movies are by far Bruce Willis's best roles as New York cop John McClane. He battles terrorists on a high rise building,in airport terminals, and through the streets of NYC. The whole series is great. Buy this right now you won't be sorry.

I am a long time fan of the Bruce Willis and these are the movies that got me started. I believe the "Die Hard" series is one of the most action packed, non-stop thrill rides avaliable in hollywood video to this date. The storys center around 'John McClane' and his bad luck.

I wouldnt want to spoil the story, but I do reccomend the entire Die Hard series.

It's three classic movies in one. I love all Bruce Willis's movies and they're all the best movies but all Die Hard's throws you back in your seat trying to guess what happens next. By the time you think you have the plot down some other event happens like in Die Hard With a Vengeance when you find out he killed his brother in the first one. The first one is him saving his wife and hostages from a building, the second one he saves her from an airplane with no landing spot, and the third one he saves all of New York City children when he really only discovers the best plot ever created for any movie and then he try's to go back to his marriage. I have nothing bad to say about the movies except they should be making more. Die Hard has the best plot, the best acting so why stop now when they have the "Die Hard" fans, most there movies on amazon are not in stalk, the new Die Hard - The Ultimate Collection is coming so they better make plenty copies.

The original die hard will be released as a 2 disc Five Star Edition. Die Hard 2 and 3 will also be 2 disc but not Five Star Edition. All 3 titles will feature brand new anamorphic widescreen and dual audio (DD 5.1 & DTS 5.1). It's one of the all time best action movies finally coming on special edition DVD's. You simply must add this boxset to your collection!! Yipikayey!
