We’re just a few weeks away from A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD hitting theaters, and thankfully this one is Rated R. A lot of folks didn’t react well to LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD being delivered with a PG-13 rating, so it should be fun to see Bruce Willis playing John McClane the way he used to… you know, cussing up a storm and killing the bad guys in the bloodiest of ways. Jai Courtney (JACK REACHER) plays his son, and while we’ve seen a few trailers we’ve yet to get a solid idea of what to expect from the action. Now we can show you not one, not two, but three fun clips from the film, all of which look like classic McClane back in action. Check them out below and tell us your thoughts in the comments. Are you excited to see the new DIE HARD adventure on the big screen?

Synopsis: Since the first “Die Hard” in 1988, John McClane has found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, with the skills and attitude to always be the last man standing, making him enemy #1 for terrorists the world over. Now, McClane faces his greatest challenge ever, this time on an international stage, when his estranged son Jack is caught up in the daring prison escape of a rogue Russian leader, and father and son McClane must work together to keep each other alive and keep the world safe for democracy.
Ugh. I was hoping the car chase clip was edited for promotional purposes, but all of these clips have such crummy editing (choppy flow, lazy sound effects, etc.). This looks like further down the slippery slope started by With a Vengeance. Hell, the villains are even less threatening than Timothy Olyphant!
All of the clips are heavily edited for online. They won’t be that way in the actual movie.
