  OAFE - Cult Classics: John McClane review
McClane finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time as his wife's office building is taken hostage by a ruthless group of terrorists.
McClane is muscular without being a 'roided-up freak, and they even got the hair on his arms and chest.
Cult Classics' John McClane isn't a perfect figure - there are definte problems with both the sculpt and paint - but it is a good one, and a fine addition to your movie figure collection.

 John McClane Information
John McClane is a police officer with the New York City Police Department.
John didn't think Holly would make it in Los Angeles and that she would come crawling back to him in New York, so John figured that there was no reason to pack his things for the move to Los Angeles.
However, the next Christmas Eve finds McClane in a similar situation as the previous one (Die Hard 2: Die Harder) as he discovers mercenaries have seized control of a major Washington D.C airport's communications and threatened to cause deadly plane crashs, including the plane that is carrying his wife, unless their demands are met.

 John Mctiernan: John Mcclane
John McClane (that's Willis, as you probably know) is on the outs with his wife.
John McClane is a much more human hero who gets overwhelmed, panics, makes mistakes, reproaches himself, hesitates, suffers brutal injuries, and tries desperately to think one step ahead.
The film still centers around John McClane, and this time he is tormented by the brother of the German terrorist that he killed in the first film.

He grounds McClane and gives him a friend and supporter when the bad guys AND, the local cops, and the feds are against him.
