The OG gives Christmas vibes, has lots of musical cues and small choices that play into that. I’m just not feeling it with the sequel. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 7 points 10 months ago Fully agreed. Christmas is a central and recurring theme throughout Die Hard 1. From events happening at a Christmas party, to minimal staffing due to the holidays, to McClane's presence in the city at all, to "Now I have a machine gun Ho-ho-ho" permalink fedilink source parent
