Chocolate John McClane Sweetens Up Japanese Die Hard PromotionIf you want to get something promoted in Japan, forget about posters and life-sized cardboard cutouts. What’s the best way you can think of to promote A Good Day to Die Hard? Putting the film’s image on an oily sleeveless wife beater? Releasing a bald plush doll that says “Yippee kay-yay, motherfucker?” (Since the fifth film reverts back to its R-rating and all.) How about just getting Bruce Willis to show up and say a few words about the film?...by Nick Venable | published: 2013-02-14 02:06:02comments
A Good Day To Die Hard Getting Crushed By CriticsThe Die Hard franchise has always had a checkered past with critics. The first movie is just about as universally beloved as action movies get, but the three sequels that have come out since have always been cause for great debate among film fans.

Apparently that will not be the case with A Good Day To Die Hard....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2013-02-14 01:26:12comments

Trouble Finds John McClane In Extended A Good Day To Die Hard FeaturetteJohn McClane doesn't go looking for trouble - trouble just has a way of finding John McClane.

A Good Day To Die Hard Will Be Rated RLive Free or Die Hard was a film with many, many problems, but one thing that certainly didn't help was the rating.
