The Action Movie CL: SF 1 - Die Hard v Terminator 2: Judgement Day

Like most semis, this should be the final.

Wow, Die Hard is walking it.

Surprised it's not closer.

I have just voted for T2, film fans.

I've seen the Terminator films but only like in the background not paying much attention. Die Hard is just magnificent. I loved With A Vengeance too, I preferred it to Die Hard 2.

T2 is the total exact opposite of watching Phil Neville in midfield

It's AMAZING

Too hard to choose between these 2 but I guess that is the wole point of latter stages of competitions.

I am going to plump for Die Hard just because it is the better set of films

Die Hard, all day. First R movie I saw in the theater...monumental.

Well I voted for one, but could easily have voted for the other

I do like Long Kiss Goodnight, it would have made my action movie europa league. Along with the likes of leon, crouching tiger, avengers, dog soldiers, speed and doomsday.

Great movie, but not really an action movie is it iirc?? Bit too slow paced for that.

Wow the business end here. Better put some effort into the working out.

Story : T2 is a much better story. Die Hard nails it in its simplicity, but T2 was just better.
Action : Brucie with hair, barefoot, starting off with not much and bossing the show. T2 was highly stylised while DH was raw action.
Characters : much better development of characters in DH.
Cinematography : T2. A Greenberg masterpiece.
Direction : This sent Cameron to the upper echelon while McTiernen after so much promise is now probably only Directing his Lunch. A much bigger director than Cameron in '88, he hasn't Directed a film in a decade. Although different Films, I'd give it to Cameron for the sheer scale of his vision.

I'd go for T2, because of the innovation of the Special Effects, the cultural significance of its impact into mainstream conciousness, and because it has slightly better catchphrases.

Yippee ki yay mother fu****

Ahem, this.

Was on TV yesterday and naturally, I had to watch.

Still great.
