Christmas, cranked up to 11: why Die Hard 2 is a better festive film than the original


Let it snow: John McClane (Bruce Willis) goes through a second round of Christmas torture

It’s as much a Christmas tradition as tiresome clichés about sprouts and family arguments: “is Die Hard a Christmas film or not?”
But this annual debate overlooks the film’s lesser yet more successful sequel, Die Hard 2: Die Harder. Now 30 years old, Die Hard 2 is one of the most sequel-y sequels ever made. It perfectly fits the template: not quite as good as the original but compensating by being swearier, more violent and, of course, more ridiculous. 
Never mind jumping off a skyscraper with a fire hose as a bungee, as per the original’s big set-piece. In Die Hard 2, Bruce Willis’s John McClane has a punch-up on the wing of a plane as it rockets down a runway, while simultaneously unscrewing the petrol cap so he can also blow it up. “To some extent you have to give the audience what they expect,” said director Renny Harlin in 1990 about making the sequel. “But you also want to give them more.”
