DVD Review: The Die Hard Collection

This box set brings us three of the best action films ever made-Die Hard which introduces us to John McClane (Bruce Willis), saving the Nakatomi Plaza building in Los Angeles from German terrorist Hans Gruber (played deliciously evilly by Alan Rickman). The late Paul Gleason, Bonnie Bedelia, Reginald VelJohnson and a pre-Walker Texas Ranger Clarence Gilyard Jr. co-star. Moving on to Die Hard 2: Die Harder, we find McClane in Washington at the airport fighting terrorist William Sadler and clashing with future NYPD Blue star Dennis Franz and future Presidential candidate Fred Thompson. Pre-Terminator 2 co-star Robert Patrick and John Amos (Good Times, Coming To America) also co-star. Die Hard With A Vengeance finds McClane back on home turf in New York City, hooking up with Samuel L. Jackson as Zeus and battling Oscar Winner Jeremy Irons as Simon Gruber, Hans Gruber's brother from the first film. All three films are HIGHLY recommended and a true thrill ride. 5 out of 5 stars for this great DVD set.
