Bruce Willis's New York City cop character in harm's way again with a gaggle of terrorists. This time, Willis awaits his wife's arrival at Dulles Airport in Washington, DC, when he gets wind of a plot to blow up the facility. Noisy, overbearing and forgettable, the film has none of the purity of its predecessor's simple story; and it makes a huge miscalculation in allowing a terrible tragedy to occur rather than stretch out the tension. WhereDie Hardset new precedents in action movies,Die Hard 2is just an anything-goes spectacle. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

Advantages: Two great films in one box set Disadvantages: Have to buy Die Hard 3 separately.
...On Disc 2 of Die Hard there is also a neat extra that is quite rare, as I have only seen ot on the Men In Black Ultimate Edition. That is a scene editing suite to re-arrange a scene. Good thing to play with.
There is also a host of deleted scenes and the chance to have one of these regarding the power being cut to Nakatimo Plaza placed in to the first film, so you can watch a slightly different version. The menus are tailored to each film and relate ... ...with the distribution rights, so Die Hard 3 was sold as an individual purchse and not with this box set. Shame. Since then the films have been sold in a multi pack without the extras.
It is also funny to see Robert Patrick of Terminator 2 in this as well.
If you can get the boxed set of two films do so, the third is available as a special edition with the same flavour of extras and a different ending. If you cant you'll have to buy them individually ...

Collected in this special edition box set are the first two fast-paced films that made Bruce Willis an action hero. Watch tough cop John McClane (Willis) take on the bad guys in a towering office building (DIE HARD) and at an airport (DIE HARD 2). Yippee-ki-yay.... Each film is accompanied by a disc packed with bonus features. See individual titles for more details.
