As we wrap up our "Year of Bruce" with special guest Richard Liverman, it's time to spotlight Die Hard 2, a film that often stands in the shadow of its predecessor but deserves its own moment in the Christmas-action spotlight. While the original Die Hard has cemented its place as the go-to holiday action movie, its sequel doubles down on everything that made the first one great. Set during Christmas Eve at a snow-covered airport, Die Hard 2 delivers all the festive chaos you'd expect from John McClane’s unlucky streak. From nerve-wracking shootouts to epic explosions, it’s an adrenaline-pumping reminder that holiday cheer sometimes comes with a lot of collateral damage.

True to the promise of a bigger sequel, Die Hard 2 takes the "more is more" approach, boasting higher stakes, more deaths, and even grander explosions. It’s like the original, but on steroids—a relentless ride through mayhem and holiday spirit as only Bruce Willis can deliver. Yet, it rarely gets the recognition it deserves, often dismissed as "just like the first one." But isn’t that the point? It’s unapologetically McClane in peak form, facing off against bad guys in an impossible situation. If the holidays are about revisiting familiar joys, Die Hard 2 should be a perennial classic for action fans. It’s Bruce, it's Christmas, and it’s the perfect way to close out a year celebrating one of Hollywood's most iconic stars.
