Die Hard may qualify with some of you as a "quality" flick, but think about what it brought you: The star power neccessary for Bruce Willis to make Hudson Hawk. The premiere of Severus Snape. The man who went on to direct Speed. And every cringeworthy action flick cliche? It was spawned HERE! How can you pass this up? We certainly didn't, and neither did the dozens of writers who came along for the ride.

Awesome Job yet again!
If you know the movie, a Sample is not needed as the Riffing just added to the experience!
- RVR II
Easily the best of the Riff Raff releases so far. Many laugh-out-loud moments, and a production quality that rivals the official RiffTrax commentaries for professionalitiness.
Highly recommended.
Just bought it and of course i didn't check it there was a PAL version of it :D will there be a PAL version? cause i can't really be arsed to buy a NTSC version just to hear this, though so far i've heard it's hilarious
Pal version is coming, I'll make sure to shout when it's up.
Just finished watching this.
EXTREMELY professional sounding. Dont know what kind of recording equipment you all have, but it sounds aces.
FUNNY Riff with lots of references all over the place. Reminds me of MST3K. Probably due to the number of writers you all get.
GREAT and highly recommended.
Another great job guys. Great quality sound, great quality jokes - all around awesome!
Yes, that's right, I do like the original movie "Die Hard" --- but I'll also say that this riff track is a good companion to the film. Another good collection of lines from the crowd-sourcing method of Riff Raff Theater. I've watched this several times, and each time catch different jokes that I somehow missed in the earlier trips through it. Nice sound quality and well-placed riffs. I have no reservations in marking this as a 5-star riff.
This was a bit of a let down compared to Speed, which was glorious, but there were still several laugh-out-loud moments. Sound quality is very professional and their voices have decent energy. There were a few lines where the deliveries sounded lackluster or maybe a better word would be "canned," but they were in the vast minority. The jokes themselves were well-varied in style (one of the benefits of having a writing staff of a couple dozen) and there were few if any noticeable dry spells.
Speed is a much better Riff Raff Theater release, but this one was enjoyable. There were some very funny, laugh-out-loud moments, but not a lot of them. The deliveries were excellent for the most part (with a few strange exceptions), and the Riff Raff guys did all they could, but the jokes submitted just weren't quite as strong this time. More obvious/filler jokes than I would've liked. Worth a watch, but if you're only going to buy one Riff Raff release, make it Speed.
FWIW, I'd agree that "Speed" is a better riff track, but then I think "Speed" is possibly the best iRiff done by anybody so far in iRiff'ing history. I do think "Die Hard" is a better riff track than "Tron", at least for the laughs I got out of it. One thing I like about the riffing here is that pretty much all the riffs are definitely for the movie we're watching. I'm starting to find even some official Rifftrax annoying when they throw in some "generic riff" which really doesn't have much to do with what is going on in the movie at the time.
