WATCH: Bruce Willis Watches His Fans Yell Hard At ‘A Good Day To Die Hard’ Premiere

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: Follow Grace Randolph on  Twitter .

The best thing about the Die Hard Franchise (aside from the almost-perfect, couch-destroying original of course,) is the fact that when it comes to bad puns, these people have no shame. Die Hard 2: Die Harder ; Die Hard With A Vengeance ; Live Free or Die Hard . Brilliance. I can’t wait for Live Together Or Die Hard Alone , Live And Let Die Hard , Cowards Die Hard Many Times , and the teen spinoff I Am So Embarrassed I Could Just Die Hard . [ Releated: The Time Joel Silver Destroyed A $5K Couch During The Filming Of ‘Die Hard’ And WATCH: Bruce Willis Adds Gravitas (And A Little ‘Die Hard’ Confusion) To ‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ International Trailer ] Anyway, before we get to those inevitable classics, we first must get past the upcoming 5th installment in the never-ending story of cowboy cop John McClane, A Good Day To Die Hard . AGDTDH finds McClane going to Moscow just in time for a gigantic outbreak of terrorist violence, courtesy of an oily Russian who apparently just hates America a lot (boooo!). Conveniently, McClane’s son happens to be there, and also happens to be an American spy, so naturally the two of them team up to put the kibosh on the terrorist’s plans. The third trailer is out now, and yep, it is explodey. Yeah, buildings are damaged, wisecracks are made, and Ode To Joy returns as McClane’s theme song. But there’s no hint of yippie-kay-yay in this trailer, and that is in and of itself a miracle. Not as miraculous as the idea that McClane and his son wouldn’t be flattened into bloody wet pancakes when they fall into water like that, but a miracle nonetheless. A Good Day To Die Hard opens on Valentine’s Day. Follow Ross Lincoln Twitter.  Follow Movieline on Twitter .

WATCH: Bruce Willis Adds Gravitas (And A Little ‘Die Hard’ Confusion) To ‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ International Trailer

There’s a lot to look at in this international trailer for   G.I. Joe: Retaliation :  Explosions. The muscled forms of Channing Tatum and Dwayne Johnson . More explosions. Masked men engaging in ninja sword fights while suspended from a snowy mountain. Avalanche!  Jonathan Pryce appearing to reprise his role as the Bond villain in Tomorrow Never Dies. Bruce Willis making cracks about his cholesterol after a near-death experience. Wait! What?  Isn’t that what John McClane does in the Die Hard movies — like A Good Day to Die Hard ,  which hits movie theaters a month and a half before the G.I. Joe sequel? Okay, so no one plays a smirking, self-deprecating hard-ass better than Willis. Which is why you should learn how to tell them apart:  In A Good Day to Die Hard , he’s John.  In G.I. Joe Retaliation , he’s Joe.  Simpler movie, simpler name. Got it?  Good. Now, watch some explosions. Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.
