Left it's permanent stamp on the movie industry

Rating: 8/10 (31 August 2005)

This movie is one of the best action movies of all time. I won't repeat others on why this is such a good movie, I will just agree with them. What I will mention is the impact this movie left on the movie industry.
Looking back at the 90's, you can see the influence it had, because this was something new. Die Hard was different from anything that had been done before that. This was a new style of action movies. I will give a small list of movies that were actually made by the receipt of Die Hard: Deadly Outbreak, Cyberjack, Sudden Death, Under Siege ( Originally, this was meant to be Die Hard 2), Under Siege 2, Air Force One, The Rock. I'm sure there's a lot more, some i don't know, some just can't think of. Everyone of this movies has the basic formula: Terrorist captures "something"... There is ( sometimes there are) one (few) good guy (guys) in this "something" that takes over it from within, while it takes him most of the film to do it ( I mean that he doesn't kill all the bad guys in the same time, thus Executive Decision doesn't fall in this category, but does it slowly throughout the whole length of the movie). Non of the listed above came close to Die Hard, though some of them were OK.
