ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – DIE HARD 2: DIE HARDER (1992)

 

“Die Hard 2: Die Harder” is an action thriller, screenplay by Doug Richardson and Steven E. de Souza from the Novel by Walter Wager, and Directed by Renny Harlin.

The sequel to Die Hard follows on from the terrifying events in Los Angeles, NYPD cop John McClane (Bruce Willis) is about to go through it all again as he goes on another Christmas vacation to meet his wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) and he is in Washington where he is at the airport meeting Holly off the LA flight.

But while he is waiting, a team of terrorists, led by Col. Stuart (William Sadler), holds the entire airport hostage, while they plan to rescue a drug Lord, Esperanza (Franco Nero) from justice.

As part of that plan they have seized control of all the control systems affecting all aircraft, with no runway lights available, and no means to contact them, all aircraft have to remain in the air, with fuel running low, so if McClane is going to save the day again he will need to be fast.

It’s another great action thriller with Willis still at the top of his game.

Doctor Foster

Went to Gloucester

But he blamed

His cars sat nav

POLYGAMY

 

I was stunned when I was accused of Polygamy

It made me drop the bags I was holding

But then I was relieved to find it meant bigamy

And not as I thought the art of parrot-folding

IN AN OPEN RELATIONSHIP

 

My ex-wife and I were in an open relationship

At least I believed it was an open relationship

Until that fateful day of the solicitors meeting

When she stunned me and called it cheating

MY FRIEND GOT A PERSONAL TRAINER

 

My friend got a personal trainer

And trained with him for a while

Starting a year before his wedding

So I questioned the length of the aisle

I USED TO LIVE ON A FARM AND EVERY TIME

 

I used to live on a farm and every time

I passed the cows in the field I’d rant

And shout the most foul abuse at them

It’s turned out that I’m dairy intolerant

PICKUP # 19

 

When you’re on the pull

If you want to break the ice

Say something funny

Or say something nice

Be devastatingly witty

Or say something clever

Be complimentary

Or just lie in your endeavour

“I'm sorry I wasn't part of your past”

You can say to her

“But I can make up for that

By being in your future”
