Yes, it’s been that long since John McClane came home for Christmas and saved Nakatomi Plaza from a bunch of terrorists who were just high-tech robbers. Twenty five years since “Yippee-kai-yay” entered our vocabulary and Hans Gruber was immortalized by Alan Rickman creating a definitive villain that has yet to be rivaled. And of course it’s been twenty five years of Bruce Willis having jumped with machine gun firing from Moonlighting to the big screen entertaining us in a franchise which sees its fifth film explode onto the screen on Valentine’s Day 2013.
Twentieth Century Fox is celebrating by bringing the Die Hard 25th Anniversary Collection to bluray in a special 5-disc set with new features that look back at the franchise, the fights, the explosions, the bad guys and of course the creation and legacy of everyone’s favourite anti-hero.
The fifth disc called Decoding Die Hard, contains 7 new features as follows:
• “Modern-Day Hero” — Casting, evolution and legacy of John McClane
• “Along For The Ride” — Sidekicks who have teamed up with McClane
• “Bad To The Bone” — McClane’s foes
• “Punishing Blows” — Action sequences, fistfights and stunts
• “Explosive Effects” — Role of visual and special effects
• “Reinventing The Action Genre” — Development of the franchise
• “The Right Hero For The Right Time” — The Influence of Die Hard
Released two weeks before A Good Day to Die Hard hits the big screen, this box set is a great way to relive high-octane-McClane’s adventures so far in saving a whole bunch of hostages and beating the odds to do it every time.
The Die Hard 25th Anniversary Collection is available from January 28, 2013.
