What better time of year for CineFix to do a What’s the Difference? episode on the best Xmas movie of all time!
While I have gotten my grubby hands on the Roderick Thorp novel (Nothing Lasts Forever), I must confess to not having read it as yet. It is probably a good thing I don’t mind spoilers. Hope you don’t mind either, because, you know, spoiler alert.
The differences between the two endings are interesting. Having the watch moment with McClane’s wife/daughter play out differently, and Dwayne Robinson’s sacrifice, would not have made this a classic Xmas movie. So it makes sense that the movie’s creative team changed those things to make this a more upbeat ending.
Enjoy the season rewatching all the Die Hard movies… except A Good Day to Die Hard: that is an abomination and an offence against not only cinema but the good name of Die Hard.

Yeah, we’ve got the entire series (sans the last one) on DVD. Love them to bits. Interesting how Die Hard has become a sort of prototype for action films. Cracked did a good video on this:
