Die Hard or Terminator 2? Which is the Better Action Movie?

[bassman]

Yeah, but you could say that about a lot of films in Hollywood. It happens all the time. Without Stallone and his ideas for Cobra, there would have been no Beverly Hills Cop. BHC was originally Stallone's vehicle but he later left and took his ideas to Cobra. So the door swings both ways, really. Cheesy ideas can become great ones, and great ideas can become cheesy. Speaking of the Die Hard series and it's source material - All of them are spawned from unrelated books. The original was Nothing Lasts Forever, 2 was 58 Minutes, With a Vengeance was Simon Says, and Live Free was A Farewell To Arms.

This is more stuff I didn't have a clue about.

So there!
