Wired Contest: It’s A Good Day to Die Hard Giveaway
It’s been twenty-five years since a shoeless, shirtless Bruce Willis, as beleagured NY cop John McClane, uttered his first “Yippee-ki-yay” while taking down hordes of heavily-armed baddies in director John McTiernan’s Die Hard.
That’s 25 years of sweat, dirt and blowing stuff up.
The Die Hard series is a series of action movies beginning with Die Hard in 1988, which was based on the 1979 bestselling novel, Nothing Lasts Forever by Roderick Thorp.
In the 5th installment, McClane travels to Russia to help out his seemingly wayward son, Jack (Jai Courtney), only to discover that Jack is a CIA operative working to prevent a nuclear-weapons heist, causing the father and son to team up against underworld forces.
With the Russian underworld in pursuit, and battling a countdown to war, the two McClanes discover that their opposing methods make them unstoppable heroes.

I think the scene where John McClane has to wear a sign and walk in the street in the beginning of Die Hard with a Vengeance is pretty memorable.
Original “Die Hard” when John McClane is in the room by himself, muttering, and takes his shoes and socks off to reduce the stress. Classic
I’m Agent Johnson, this is Special Agent Johnson. … No Relation.
When John McClane says,“Yippee-ki-yay” , while taking down the bad guys!
Every time ” Yuppie Kay Yay Mother#” is used by Jack McClane
love the yippee ki yay-all time classic!
I love all the interactions with Samuel Jackson and Bruce Willis in Die Hard with a Vengeance.
When Bruce Willis kicked Maggie Q’s butt in Die Hard or Live Free!
Whenever there is a big explosion :).
In the first Die Hard when Hans said “Alas, your Mr. Takagi did not see it that way… so he won’t be joining us for the rest of his life.” – it really established his character I think!
Every part that wasn’t him picking glass shards out of his foot.
My favorite was the interaction with his son in the newest one. Loved it at the end.
When Jack McClane says Yuppie Kay Yay
When John Ejects himself from the helicopter with a gernade.
I love when they are doing math in die hard with a vengeance with the water bottles.
The slow-motion death of Hans Gruber, near the end of the first Die Hard. Just the fear on Alan Rickman’s face as he is falling, is just priceless, and a little scary.
The Vent Scene of McClane
DH2: McClane uses a cigarette lighter to ignite trail of leaking fuel, which races down the airport runway, ignites the rest of the fuel and destroys the bad guys jet.
Just like most people… when he goes “yippie-ki-yay Mother%*^&#$” … love that line, get excited every time lol
I loved the one with the jet plane,
the “yippee kai yay” quote
I liked the scene with the young man from the phone commercials and the car sails over their heads. It is just a visual that sticks to me.
yippe kai yay, *(&^(^&^(
when ever they blow something up thats what i like
No one moment, I just love the movies,
i don’t actually have a favorite part of the movie because i like it all
Anytime he says “yippe kay aye, mfer” I just want to PUMP my fists in the air like YES! lol
Any part with Samuel L. Jackson. I love him!
If I’m remembering right wasn’t there a trail of fuel that was set alight and boom.
I love the scene in the 3rd movie where they are driving thru the streets in the cab and the scene with them in the Yugo.
McClane jumping off the building on a fire hose!
The Gunfight at the Annex Skywalk was my favorite.
When John McClane says,“Yippee-ki-yay
In the live hard when he knocks down the helicopter outside the tunnel
I really do not remember any of the movies but would love to see them as I really like Bruce Willis.
The scene in the elevator in the first one.
I like when he sent one of the bad guys down the elevator with the ho ho ho sign pinned on his chest!
When McClane is crawling through the vents.
Zeus finding the gold brick in the back of the car in Die Hard 3
First die hard..jumping out of the window with the fire hose tied to his feet.
I like in Die Harder when he ejects out of the plane right before it explodes.
Thanks!
I love the scenes from the first movie with Alan Rickman as the bad guy. He’s always so good in all his scenes!
Yippee-ki-yay, of course hahaha
My favorite moment is in the last one when they were trying to break into the car to take off but it was automated and the kid had to help by acting like the son of the guy who owned the care…hilarious.
When he jumps out of a building.
Yippee-ki-yay is very memorable!
I love the explosions
I personally like the “Yippee-Kye-Aye!” moment from the first film. It hooked me from the get-go!
“Yippee-ki-yay”
All the Yippee Ki Yay *#! moments. lol
I always take my shoes & socks off to relieve stress….
Thanks for the contest.
I confess, I like the explosions.
Sadly, I’ve never seen any of the Die Hard movies.
My favorite is the Die Hard vent scene
I love them all but Die Hard With A Vengeance is my fave
Love when the cop tells the store clerk all the twinkies are for his pregnant wife!
I enjoyed a Good Day to Die Hard a lot. I like the scene where he asks his son if he needs a hug and his son replies that they aren’t really a hugging family.
Bringing down the helicopter with a car.
I am not sure which movie it was from what # but he was trying to stop a bomb from going off in a suitcase and he had to put water in a 5 gal jug I still haven’t figured out their math above my head lol
Not gonna lie, I don’t have a favorite Die Hard moment. It’s been a very long time since I’ve seen a Die Hard movie. My husband loves them though and if I would I would watch all of them with him!
I love Bruce Willis and all his pictures. The first movie when the building explodes was awesome
When McLane sends the body down on the elevator with a note. Thank you for the opportunity to win.
“Yippee-ki-yay”
I don’t really have one. Just like the action.

Love the moment when John McClane takes his shoes and socks off. Love it!
When there is an explosion

I’m a fan of any interactions between John and Hans in the first movie. They’re so great together.
Anything with John and the guy from Family Matters in the first film.
No favorite scene, I like all scene’s Bruce Willis is in.

Crawling through the air shaft: I hate it when I’m right.
The elevator scene in the first Die Hard.

Every Yippeekayay moment!
I dont have a specific one, I just love watching Bruce Willis
The whole series is just so awesome but it has to be Yippie Ki Ay Mother@$%#!
I like the Yippeekayayyy muther…. lol :)
I like when Bruce Willis first starts talking to that cop (that guy from family matters)on the phone. They had pretty great dialogue together.
Driving with Zeuss
I like in the first one when he realizes that the man he is talking to is a terrorist and not a hostage
