Bruce Willis in Die Hard 4.0 There are times when you think he really will - expire, that is, at the climax of an almighty shoot-out, with an unsightly penile engorgement like the victim of some auto-erotic strangulation fetish. The granddaddy, perhaps the great-granddaddy, of the Number One cut is back.
Before Phil Mitchell, before Nick Hornby, there was Bruce Willis. As Detective John McClane, he first did a complete forward-roll-plus-handgun-aim onto our screens in 1988 in the action classic Die Hard, taking on "terrorists", which in those innocent days meant our very own Alan Rickman with a comedy German accent. Now, paradoxically, as so often in the post 9/11 era, the "terrorist" is a cautiously chosen apolitical American, no other nationality being deemed worthy of the contest.
