What Parents Need to Know

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about stereotyping and vigilante justice. Are John's actions, blowing things up, killing, etc. warranted by the situation? Should he have taken alternate legal measures to deal with the situation? The film uses a number of stereotypes in the development of its villains. What characteristics unite individuals such as Hans and Karl? Are such generalizations problematic? How do films today approach this subject? All of the film's active characters, John, Al, Hans and his henchmen are men. Can you think of more recent action films that feature women as main characters?

Great suspensful action flick for adult moviegoers. Language is way way explicit eg. Yippee Ki Yay Mother F-cker. Older Kids should be able to handle it.

Best movie I have ever seen
MY FAVORITE MOVIE FOR NOW!This movie is full of action and strong language. They said the f-word 61 times There is a LOT of violence,blood splattering,shootings,and explosions. There is brief topless nudity while a woman is getting pulled out of an office. There is also pictures of topless woman in the distance twice. But great movie. I would say for 12+.

One of the best in the "Action" genre
If you want action, Die Hards got it. I've watched this movie at least 5 times and I haven't gotten tired of it. I'd recommend it to any fan of the "action" genre and guarantee you won't be disappointed. As for content, there is strong, bloody violence (when people are shot you see blood splatter). There is around 40 f-words, 10 s-words, and some "god dammit"s. There is a topless photo seen from a distance, and two people who are presumably going to have sex, get interrupted. One character snorts cocaine twice, however it is extremely easy to miss. I think the movie would be fine for a 13 year old, but if parents isn't comfortable, watch it with your kid(s) and you'll find that both of you will have a pleasant time.

Go see it!!!
This is a great movie, but it does have tons of graphic violence (no gore) and strong language. Very action packed and thrilling.

Breath Taking
Looking back from this early day of 2009, all the way baxk to the 80's when this was ,ade. And quite frankly it doens't change a thing, besides the picture(HD quality we have today) you wouldnt be able to tell this was made 20+ years ago. The language is horrific,countless F*cks, and many others nostop througout the movie. Intense, and Brilliant.

Awesome Movie!
This is probably one of the best movies that I have seen in my life. It is very violent, but I think that mature 10-12 year-olds can handle it. 6 Stars!

Yippie-ki-yay!
This is the best of all Die Hards. In the entire series, my favorites are part 1 and 3. There is some graphic violence in the one (all gun wounds and fist fights), exactly 50 uses of f--k and many other profanites such as s--t and a--hole. There is brief topless nudity.

One of the best.
I just watced this, and I think I ave a new favorite movie. The action is perfect, the script is straight to the point and doesn't drag on for no reason, the one-liners are actually good and the actors are great. There is really no sexual content besides a poster of a girl in a bikini shown several times. The violence is frequent and has some blood but is pretty tame compared to most R-rated movies today. There is a scene where someone is shot in the head and you see lots of blood splatter against a window and a scene where a kneecap blows out. The language is very strong with about what seemed like 50-60 f-words and 30 s-words.

Excellent
Perfect action movie. Funny and violent and amazing. There are some shootouts and explosions. Every bullet produces a little spurt of blood when hitting someone. One very bloody execution scene where a man is shot point blank in the face; his head starts to explode then we see copious amounts of blood and brain splatter on a window (very abrupt and shocking). A running man's knee explodes after getting shot, sending him flying face first into a glass window. McLane's feet leave a bloody trail, and he is soaked in blood by the end of the movie. There are frequent uses of s--- and f---. Breasts are briefly visable on a woman about to have sex, a poster is seen with bare breasts as well. One character is seen snorting drugs a few times.

This series is awesome i have seen them all i know im a little young but the kids(boys) will think it's cool. You might want your parents to review it before you watch it but all in all it's great!

good movie.
This movie is great and a lot of fun but parents might want to watch it first.There are a few scenes when peopl are shot in the head and you see blood and brains on windows and other surfaces.There all also many other scenes of violence and the main character has no shoes the whole movie so his feet become sliced open at one point and bleed for a considerable part of the movie.There are also many scenes that have strong language,with up 70 f-words including Mclains catch phrase yippe-ki-yay mother f-cker.I would have to say that this movie is 15 and up unless parents feel that there kids can handle it.
