Die Hard: With a Vengeance (R, 1995)

This is the 3rd movie in the Die Hard franchise and one of my favorites. As always, John McClane is stuck in bad situation and has to save the day, this time alongside a racist black man from NYC. Violence is extreme with lots of blood. There are 98 uses of f--k and drug use.

I thought this movie was really good. There was a LOT of strong language like there was 93 uses of f--k,and there was 3 uses of n----r (one on a sandwichboard). There was a lot of violence too. There was slits of throats,shootings,explosins, and beatings. But if your parents don't care about language in a movie I would say for 12+.

The Die Hard movies have always been incredibly entertaining, hard-R rated Indiana Jones adventures for adults. DIE HARD 3 is no exception. However, though it is just as entertaining, it is also less questionable than its predecessors. Though it deserves its R rating (mainly for language), it could prove a better alternative to the other two films. Violence is pretty much your standard John McClane stuff: people are shot and held hostage. Some perish when building or helicopters explode. However, unlike the previous Die Hard movies, only a few of these violent acts are very graphic. Though most feature some blood, only a shoot-out on a boat and a brief attack on terrorists in an elevator are explicit. This movie relies more heavily on stunts than violence. The pervasive language is the big reason for the R rating. There are more than 100 "f" words, but most are said quickly out of frustration and are not sexual in context. There are also some derogatory racial terms. A man and a woman briefly start to make out (he opens her shirt to reveal her bra) but they are interrupted by a big bang (literally). Parents should still view this before watching it with their teen to make sure it's appropriate, but you have a better chance with this Die Hard than the others.
