I should track down Die Hard and watch it this Christmas. The box contains a French copy of the Die Hard Trilogy 2 game, a Scorpion Recoil Light Gun with instructions and a G-Con adapter. Just like the first Die Hard Trilogy gun pack, it could be quite tricky to find. Never thought much of them at the time.įascinating discussion for this time of year. This bundle is a French exclusive release. I could see the entire Die Hard series being a course in University, where these themes are fully explored. Hans Gruber (love that name, and may Alan Rickman (1946-2016) rest in Peace), obviously Herod, wanting to ruin Christmas for the McClane's. The LAPD police officer arriving on the scene early to help, obviously a strong parallel to one of the wise Kings. Die Hard even starts with a Christmas party, reflecting on the generosity of the host.Īnd a strong connection to the Christmas message of a savior/redeemer coming into the world (or tower/town). You can see through walls and enemies line up to get shot.

The Wii Motion controllers offered a way to play shooting games that was close enough to light gun mechanics to be fun even if it wasn’t really the same. (ok bit of stretch)īoth movies have scenes of charity/generosity/cheerfulness which ties in strongly with the Christmas message of gift giving. The light gun stuff is OK but again, why Sadly, much of the game is given to you. The Nintendo Wii represents one of the best catalog of shooting games on any console.

One could argue that the scene of walking on glass, is parallel to the difficult passage to Bethlehem. One could argue the whole plot is to redeem himself in his wife's eyes in order to save his marriage.Ĭertainly has strong parallels to It's A Wonderful Life where the main character decides to do the right thing, and save his marriage and an entire town.
DIE HARD TRILOGY LIGHT GUN MOVIE
One could argue that any Christmas movie be only about the birth of Christ, but I think what your meaning, the "spirit of Christmas" as some of the classics like It's a Wonderful Life.ĭie Hard has someone risking his life to not only stop criminals (which is a good), but also making a sacrifice to save his marriage/wife, and many other people.
