Take one Bruce Willis and garnish with a generous dollop of Christmas Eve and you have an explosive recipe for international terrorism and the sequel to Die Hard 2. In the follow-up, set two years after the highly inconvenient Nakatomi Tower Incident, the latest posse of treacherous insurgent rascals have seized control of the Washington Dulles International Airport, holding hostage any passengers unlucky enough to have been airborne at the time, including John McClane's beleaguered wife, Holly. Obviously, once again Bruce is called upon to intervene, neutralising the threat with minimal casualties and a few incisively delivered one-liners.
Tiertex who were awarded game conversion rights in 1992, two years after the horse had bolted, produced a very pedestrian 1st person shooter that bears little resemblance to the exhilarating source material. Naturally, it wasn't a raging success, yet does give me an excuse to revisit one of Bruce's most gripping, all-time classic contributions to cinema and meme-culture.
