Die Hard - Special Edition:
High above the city of L.A. a team of terrorists has seized a building, taken hostages, and declared war. But one man has managed to escape detection... an off-duty cop. He's alone... tired... and the only chance anyone has.
Bruce Willis stars as New York City Detective John McClane, newly arrived in Los Angeles to spend the Christmas holiday with his estranged wife (Bonnie Bedelia). But as McClane waits for his wife's office party to break up, terrorists take control of the building, While the terrorist leader, Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) and his savage henchman (Alexander Godunov) round up hostages, McClane slips away unnoticed. Armed with only a service revolver and his cunning, McClane launches his own one-man war. A crackling thriller from beginning to end, Die Hard explodes with heart-stopping suspense.
Die Hard 2: Die Harder - Special Edition:
On a snowy Christmas Eve in the nation's capital, a team of terrorists has seized a major international airport and now holds thousands of holiday travelers hostage. The terrorists, a renegade band of crack military commandos led by a murderous rogue officer (William Sadler), have come to rescue a drug lord from justice. They've prepared for every contingency except one: John McClane, an off-duty cop gripped with a feeling of deadly déjà vu.
Bruce Willis returns as the heroic cop who battles not only terrorists, but also an incompetent airport police chief (Dennis Franz), the hard-headed commander (John Amos) of the Army's anti-terrorist squad and a deadly winter snowstorm. The runways are littered with death and destruction, and McClane is in a race against time. His wife (Bonnie Bedelia) is trapped on one of the planes circling overhead, which is desperately low on fuel.
It's all-out war, a heart-stopping, jet-propelled journey filled with excitement and terror. Fasten your seat belts!
Die Hard 3: With A Vengeance - Special Edition:
The third installment of the hugely successful Die Hard series reteams Bruce Willis, and director John McTiernan in a new action/adventure extravaganza of special effects, unexpected comedy and nonstop thrills.
This time, New York cop John McClane (Willis) is the personal target of the mysterious Simon (Jeremy Irons), a terrorist determined to blow up the entire city if he doesn't get what he wants. Accompanied by an unwilling civilian partner (Samuel L. Jackson), McClane careens wildly from one end of New York City to the other as he struggles to keep up with Simon's deadly game. It's a battle of wits between a psychopathic genius and a heroic cop who once again finds himself having a really bad day.

3 Time-less classics in movie history - 5 out of 5 (7/31/2002)
3 great movies with the third one being the best.
Many might agree the first was the best but I like the third better.
I'd like to know what new about this set of them. They released this twice already.

Good package, but watch out for the Audio - 4.75 out of 5 (8/8/2001)
Anyone reading this is already sold on the Die Hard movies - so i'll keep technical. A really exceptional video transfer, the anamorphic images are pin-sharp and skin tones are good. Gone is the nasty smearing and grain of the previous releases. The Audio, on the whole, is pretty good too - check out the Nakatomi explosion in DTS and feel your house shake. But the mix on Die Harder is sadly lacking in bass and dynamics. I had to keep checking that the sub was turned on. The commentary on D

A real treat for all Die-Hard fans - 5 out of 5 (7/11/2001)
To say the least, I am not the biggest Bruce Willis fan. Although his acting in the Die-Hard trilogy is amoung the best in his career. My favorite of the 3 is of course the first one, which takes place in LA at the Nakatomi building. The 1st Die-Hard had the best elements of a really good movie. Don't get me wrong I love all 3 Die-Hard's, but the 1st one was the best!
