A Good Day to Die Hard

A Good Day to Die Hard

A Good Day to Die Hard is a 2013 American action thriller film and the fifth installment in the Die Hard film series. The film was directed by John Moore and written by Skip Woods, and stars Bruce Willis as John McClane. The main plot finds McClane travelling to Russia to get his estranged son, Jack, an undercover CIA agent, out of prison. He is soon caught in the crossfire of a global terrorist plot. Alongside Willis, the film also stars Jai Courtney, Cole Hauser, Yuliya Snigir and Sebastian Koch. Talks of a fifth Die Hard film began before the release of the fourth installment, Live Free or Die Hard, with Willis affirming that the latter would not be the last in the series, but pre-production did not start until September 2011, when John Moore was officially announced as the director. Filming began in April 2012, primarily in Budapest, Hungary. A Good Day to Die Hard premiered in London on January 31, 2013, coinciding with the unveiling of a Die Hard mural at the Fox Lot, and was released the United States on February 13, 2013. It is the first Die Hard film to use Dolby Atmos Surround Mixing and the first to also be released in IMAX theaters. A Good Day to Die Hard was a box office success but received overwhelmingly negative reviews for its implausible action sequences, cinematography, weak plot, cliched script, and lack of characterization, although the special effects were praised. It is the first film produced by TSG Entertainment, since distributor 20th Century Fox's departure from Dune Entertainment upon the completion of their distribution contract at the end of 2012.

We're not a hugging family.

A little bit.

What do you got?

Jack McClane:
A big old bird!

Jack McClane:
Hang on, John!

John McClane:
[as they gear up] You got a plan?

Jack McClane:
Not really. I kinda thought we would just wing it, you know. Running in, guns blazing! Make it up as we go.

John McClane:
[during a shoot out] You remember the last time we talked just before you went away?

Jack McClane:
Ah no. No! No, no, you're not gonna open up to me before we die. That's not your thing, John.

John McClane:
What's my thing?

Jack McClane:
F***ing killing bad guys, that's your thing!

Let's go kill some motherf***ers!

Goddamn Americans. You think you're so smart.

No, I'm not that smart. I'm just on vacation.

Safe house, my ass.

Lucy:
Dad? Just try... try not to make an even bigger mess of things.

[repeated line]

John McClane:
I'm on f***ing vacation!

John McClane:
[punching a Russian motorist after an argument] D'you think I'd understand a word you say?

John McClane:
[gets into car; sarcastically] Jesus Christ. It's OK, I'm fine, thanks.

[last lines]

Jack McClane:
Hey, lemme ask you something. Do you go looking for trouble, or does it always find you?

John McClane:
You know, after all these years, I'm still asking myself the same question.

Komarov:
I don't want my life back.

[last lines]

John McClane:
So we're not going to grow any third arms or anything are we?

Jack McClane:
Nah. You might loose your hair.

John McClane:
Ha! Laugh it up kid. This is your five years from now.

Jack McClane:
It's rain water and fire. Besides, it's hard to kill a McClane.

John McClane:
*Now* you're a McClane?

Jack McClane:
Yeah, I'm a McClane. John McClane.

John McClane:
John McClane, Junior.

Jack McClane:
Well, that makes you a Senior.

John McClane:
That's right. Try not to forget it. I'm your father. Have some respect for your father.

Jack McClane:
Let me ask you something. You lookin' for trouble, or does it always seem to find *you*?

John McClane:
You know, after all these years, I still ask myself the same question.

Murphy:
He'll be lucky to get life.

John McClane:
He can never get out of his own way... He had a lot of problems... He's still my kid.

Murphy:
I know. But it's Russia. They do things differently over there.

John McClane:
Me, too.

John McClane:
[while driving on the cars and trucks, phone rings] Oh, for the love of... [picks up a phone] Hi, honey.

Lucy:
Dad? Can you hear me? How is Moscow?

John McClane:
Can I call you back?

Lucy:
Wait, don't, don't...

John McClane:
[woman screams] Sorry, ma'am! [a blaring car horn] Sorry!

Alik:
[laughs out loud at Jack] Did you see this guy?

Lucy:
Dad, can you hear me? Dad, are you still there? Dad?

Alik:
Oh, man!

John McClane:
[bumps against Alik's military vehicle] Knock, knock. [bumps again] [to Lucy] You still there?

Lucy:
Yeah, yeah, I'm here. So, how is Jack? Have you seen him?

John McClane:
Uh, yep, looking right at him.

Lucy:
Is he okay?

John McClane:
I haven't really caught up with him yet, but he looks good. I'm gonna have to call you back.

Lucy:
What's going on there?

John McClane:
Luce, can I call you right back?

Lucy:
Don't hang up...

Komarov:
[Jack has caught him and is holding him near the rooftop] Well done, Mr. Super-spy! It's a shame your father won't be alive to see you promoted! [laughs evilly]

Jack McClane:
Neither will you! [throws Komarov off the building and gets shredded by the rotor of the helicopter]

John McClane:
What's with the "John" sh*t? What happened to "Dad"?

Jack McClane:
That's a good question.

Jack McClane:
Gimme your phone.

[John hands Jack his phone. Jack stomps on it repeatedly]

John McClane:
...it's a two year contract on that phone.

Alik:
Give me your weapons.

John McClane:
Come and get 'em.

Alik:
Let's dance!

Alik:
I could have been a dancer, I swear to God.
