DIE HARD is described by some as the most entertaining action movie ever made. Though I would be hesitant to heap that much praise on it, I do heartily recommend it to fans of the genre. Though it's plot points have since become conventions of almost every action movie and the social enviornment of the movie is completely outdated, this movie's thrills haven't let up in the twenty three years since it was made. That's the good news. The bad: neither has its inappropriate content. Parents: this movie is probably more graphic than you remember, and I would recommend perusing it yourself first before putting your teens in front of it. Though its tone is adventurous and more like an Indiana Jones film, the movie still contains nudity, harsh profanity, and explicit violence. Teens who see the movie will see numerous people shot and killed graphically (with spurting blood and brain matter). One man has his knees shot through (heaps of blood) before crashing his head through a glass window. Another falls from a skyscraper window with a resounding crunch. Several civilians are executed on-screen. A running joke in the film is a recurring topless poster of a woman, and though the nudity is clear, it is in a humorous context and not a sexual one. In addition, you briefly see a topless woman from a distance being herded away at gunpoint by terrorists (apparently interrupted during a tryst). Lastly, language is constantly severe, with more than 100 "f" words and all variations, including numerous "motherf***er"s. Milder language, like "s**t", "godd**n", and "a*s", is also pervasive. In short, this movie is a lot of fun to watch, and it has the potential to make a great movie night flick. However, its content can readily be described as excessive, and best geared towards adults.

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.

a lot of swearing but it is hard to here over gun fire so that is not really a problem John is risking his life to save countless lives.when john runs through the elevater shaft a girl in a swim suit is shown (in a photo very hard to see)

Old movie that shouldn't be rated R. Great role model of John McClain!

This is a great movie, great hero great setting, great plot, and most of all, great villain. this movie is incredibly violent, considering all the henchmen aren't you're average easy-to-beat henchmen, he either shoots them or has a bloody fight. there are a few shots of female nudity, and McClain has some good lines, but most of them consist of F**k and S**t.

Bruce Willis is great in this movie, and so is all the action. Great suspenseful story.

I thought it was decent. Definately too much cussing. We got the point after the 700th F word in the first 15 minutes of the movie. It was kinda violent, but handleable. There were many unreelistic things like a guy who was hung shows up later on alive. There were also several scenes with nude women displayed, and are obvious and easy to see

I don't know why, but this is sort of a feel good movie! Great acting by some great stars (yay Alan Rickman!), and non-stop action, make for a great action christmas-hostage-situation-thriller...

A classic fun-flick and although quite violent, it shouldn't be too much for a teen to handle. There is tons of shooting and blood, a woman is seen topless, a pornographic picture is shown and there is quite a bit of swearing (around 60 f-bombs). It is definitlely an R-Rated Movie, but showing it to a teen will have little to no negative effect.
