Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other
 A Good Day to Die Hard / int_10dcbe05
comment
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: McClane and his son Jack. It was Jack that showed resentment and distance, to the point of regularly calling his father by his first name. However, they patch up their differences and are seen hugging each other and Lucy in the final scene. A corresponding villainous example in the endgame twist, which reveals that Irina was on her father's side the entire time.

Applied Phlebotinum: Komarov reveals that the file is kept in a radioactive vault where the bad guys can't get at it. They chopper in a tank full of a chemical which when sprayed around the place somehow removes the radiation so that everyone can take off their gas masks.

 A Good Day to Die Hard / int_1dfd19f9
comment
Papa Wolf: The movie opens with John getting some intel from a fellow cop (who tells him "Good luck, Papi." afterward) about his son being in a Russian prison. This ends with John, unmasked and unmuffed, emptying his weapon into a paper target, screaming "Mother fucker God dammit!". Then he catches a plane to Russia, even though he hasn't spoken to his son in years. During the first act chase scene, McClane only cares about stopping the APC and saving his son. He drives himself off the road and flips his car knowing it'll flip the APC. He even walks into traffic and takes a car to the gut so he can keep up the chase.

Like Father, Like Son: John's son, Jack, is working for the CIA and now he's one of those guys. There's a job needs to be done, a lot of scumbags need to get killed, he's a disposable Irish flatfoot. And he can take a hit. He takes an iron rod to the gut and when his old man pulls it out, Jack walks it off. Doesn't even need a whiskey. Then they steal a car and drive to Chernobyl. Just like Saigon, slick!

Generation Xerox: Jack. He's every bit as badass as his father is and he easily qualifies as the most competent and useful sidekick John McClane has ever had — to the point where there are times in the movie where John himself seems more like the sidekick.

Artistic License – Military: Moscow has one of the most paranoid air defense and military response protocols in the world. Somehow, none of these are present when an American drone is flying over the city or when a rogue attack chopper is shooting buildings in said city up. Not to mention the lack of anything other than a few police units responding to what would likely be seen as a terrorist attack.

Continuity Nod: The teaser features Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, which was prominently used in the first film. The tactic of shooting nearby glass to inflict pain upon John in the first film by Hans Gruber is now used by the McClanes on the villains. The death of the villains is a combination of tributes to Die Hard 1 and 3, involving a spectacular flailing fall, being chopped to pieces by a spinning motor AND an exploding helicopter. John pulling shrapnel out of Jack while bonding with him is similar to how he bonded with Al 25 years earlier over the radio as he pulled broken glass out of himself. When he's discovered in the bunker near the end of the film, Komarov (who had been speaking in his natural voice up to this point) makes a show of acting scared, much like Hans Gruber did when he pretended to be "Bill Clay" in the original film. He also tries moving towards a nearby gun and when that fails uses his radio to summon help. In addition, the shot where Komarov falls off the building towards the helicopter blades evokes Hans' death scene from the same film.

White Shirt of Death: Komarov was shot once in his arm, but he didn't die while being attacked in the safe house. Mr. McClane himself gets blood on his white shirt as he was wounded several times.

Cut Lex Luthor a Check: The bad guys have a compound that "neutralizes the radiation" at Chernobyl. Why the Russian/Ukranian governments haven't just used this yet is never addressed. Why they need to sell uranium to terrorists to make money rather than just sell this magical chemical... is also never addressed.

Hero Stole My Bike: Happens several times, as John is not quite in his own jurisdiction and therefore cannot do the Flashed-Badge Hijack: First John steals some poor sap's old truck when he goes chasing after Jack. Then he runs out into the road trying to get someone to stop their car and ends up getting knocked over by a Mercedes SUV. When the owner jumps out and starts abusing him in Russian, John punches him in the face and makes off with his car. Later when they need another car, Jack nicks one from outside a Mafia hangout, knowing the trunk will be full of weapons.

 A Good Day to Die Hard / int_c446f93c
comment
Artistic License – Nuclear Physics: It's mentioned that the Chernobyl disaster happened as the result of Komarov using the reactor to produce weapons-grade uranium. Ironically, for as badly-designed and dangerously unsafe as RBMK reactors like the ones used at Chernobyl were, producing weapons-grade uranium is something they were designed to do, and wouldn't have resulted in a meltdown.note (And technically speaking the disaster wasn't really a meltdown per se, but an explosion of the reactor, albeit the destroyed remnants of the reactor core did melt down after the fact) Additionally, any weapons-grade uranium would have degraded to the point of uselessness (except possibly for building a dirty bomb) over the course of nearly three decades. The gas used decontaminate Pripyat is a whole other can of worms. The only way such a thing would even begin to work would be by stabilizing the radioactive isotopes to the point where they no longer gave off radiation — which, even if it didn't violate the laws of physics in numerous ways, would also render the uranium they were trying to retrieve inert, and thus useless.

The movie opens with John getting some intel from a fellow cop (who tells him "Good luck, Papi." afterward) about his son being in a Russian prison. This ends with John, unmasked and unmuffed, emptying his weapon into a paper target, screaming "Mother fucker God dammit!". Then he catches a plane to Russia, even though he hasn't spoken to his son in years.

Artistic License – Geography: McClane and Jack drive from Moscow, Russia, to Chernobyl, Ukraine, in what appears to be only a few hours. Without passports. (The cities are 530 miles apart by road, and there's a national border between them.) Ukraine and Russia are famously happy to let people just cross their borders, Niagara style. Very friendly.
