Dirty Details Done Dirt Cheap:
Over the course of his career as the best cop on the planet, John McClane has spent a Christmas Eve saving a group of hostages from terrorists in a Los Angeles high rise; the following Christmas Eve foiling a terrorist plot at Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C.; saved New York City (with the help of Samuel L. Jackson) from a terrorist who likes to blow things up; and saved most of the East Coast from a disgruntled Internet terrorist who took control of things like traffic lights and satellite signals. John is always quick with a one-liner, almost always cranky and has a habit of talking to himself. His daughter, Lucy, is quite the hottie, and his wife, Holly, disappeared by around the time of Die Hard 3. And we can't wait for his fifth adventure. Yippie-ki-yay.
