The day before A Good Day to Die Hard hit theaters, fans in New York City sat through a marathon screening of the first four films at the AMC Empire 25 — and were rewarded with a visit from John McClane himself, Bruce Willis, before seeing the new film.
Jai Courtney, who plays McClane's grown-up son in the film, was also in attendance, and both actors agreed their characters share a common trait: stubbornness. "Just like most guys," said Willis, "he thinks he knows everything and...doesn't."
I also asked Courtney if the stunts in Die Hard films, or at least this one, are as old school as they look. "We blew things up. For real." Courtney bragged. "There's over a hundred cars being crashed, for real."
Check out my full red carpet interview below, and watch more than one hundred fans blowing out their lungs as they scream for the return of this 25-year-old franchise:
