See, most big blockbuster fillums, the title describes the movie, to some degree at least. Ghostbusters is about bustin' ghosts, Robocop is about a cop who's part robot, Terminator is about a terminator... You get the idea.
So Die Hard. Is it about how hard it is to make John McClane die? Is it about how hard it was for him to make the other chaps die? Did they actually die hard? I mean Bruce is a good looking chap... Does it describe how hard they were trying when they died?
So Die Hard. What's it mean?
Die Hard is the refusal to accept something such as a big change, it's play on that.

That's that cleared up then.

Woah there horsey, isn't he just doing his job as a Law enforcement officer, hardly being a die hard.
Well, not really - the Nakatomi Towers are well outside his jurisdiction, surely?
So it's not a very tough Welshman then?

Ahh, but he did say...

MacLane? Welsh? Think he was Scottish. 🙂
Well his feet were crazy tough, I sliced the bottom of my foot once and was hobbling for ages.

Good point but when you have pledged the oath or what ever police people do its a 24/7 where ever you are deal 😀
I do believe he was on holiday as well...
As a Law Enforcement officer, surely he should have tried to arrest people/use minimum force. I never once saw him try to arrest anyone, although I have to admit he would have run short on handcuffs at an early stage.
I am not sure where the line is on holidays.........
willard as a renegade cop with a dubious attitude to protocol and following the rules I dont think hand cuffs were high on his list of priorities and the combined weight would of slowed him down.

His first name's probably not contracted to Dai, either.

I reckon he'd struggle to ask them to come along nicely to the station when they'd been shooting at him with automatic rifles.
I reckon he was tied up in paperwork and disciplinaries for days afterwards, what with all the protocol breaches, firing without warning first, not showing his badge, etc.
Anyway, never mind what 'Die Hard' means, WTBF does 'yippee ki-yay' mean?
It's what cowboys said according to Bing Crosby.
I think this little ditty sums up the concept quite well:
It's what cowboys said according to Bing Crosby.
But he isn't a cowboy, he's a policeman.
The writers really didn't do their research did they?
Yippy-ki-yay is Yiddish.
It means a grown man who still wears a vest.
But he isn't a cowboy, he's a policeman.
True, but he does say he was always partial to watching Roy Rodgers as a kid and that was his cry. It's why he takes on the name "Roy".
When I lived in the States, there was a burger chain called Roy Rodgers. I always loved going there. True Story

Yippy-ki-yay is Yiddish.It means a grown man who still wears a vest.
so what does 'yippy-ki-yay mother f*****' translate to?
Roy Rodgers? Wasn't he a spaceman?
I thought he started a cable company in Canada.

This thread's like a cross between Film '88 and Call My Bluff
In which case, Yippi-ki-yay, is a traditional Scottish-American folk dance, performed barefooted as if on broken glass.
Roy Rogers wasn't a spaceman.
You're thinking of Roy Batty.
Brakes, YKAMF is a traditional Jewish ceremony where men step out of their mother's shadow and make their own decisions in life.
The ceremony traditionally takes place on a man's 125th birthday.
Batty was no kind of man. He was a replicant.

Batty was no kind of man. He was a replicant.
But what is it makes a man? He lived, he breathed...
“We're not computers, Sebastian, we're physical.”
“Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave.”
“I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost... in time... like... tears... in rain. Time... to die.”
...and appeared to have a soul.
Oh, and Die Hard? I take that to mean not giving up, no matter what, and if you die, then to take as many with you as humanly possible.
i always it was 'Dai Hard' and it was about a welshman called David who was hard as ****
I thought die hard means not dying hard enough so some of the characters need to be shot many times over ... 😆
You're thinking of Roy Batty.
Now I'm thinking of Nora Batty
Roy Rogers wasn't a spaceman.You're thinking of Roy Batty.
No, no, no - that was Bruce Wayne.
...Nora Batty...
#strangest
Good thread, now I know what a TV dinner feels like
You're all thinking of David Batty.
He was a tough mother!
Die Hard. What's it mean then?
It means it's Christmas.
No stop bogarting the twiglets.
