Line 358:
** ''Die Hard II'' incorporates Finlandia by Jean Sibelius into its ending.
** ''Die Hard with a Vengeance'' features "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" (under the other title, "Ants Go Marching") for the villains, and makes it sound epic. Note the third film is the first actually set in New York, where Johnny (McClane) is a police officer.
* [[Star-Making Role]]: ''Die Hard'' did this for Bruce Willis ''and'' Alan Rickman.
* [[Status Quo Is God]]: No matter what adventures McClane may go on, by the start of the next film he'll be back to being a [[Jerkass]] with a miserable home life. Seriously, this is a man who has now single-handedly thwarted four major terrorist attacks on the country (well, only one was actually terrorism, the other three where robberies disguised as terrorist acts, but still). McClane should seriously be in charge of Homeland Security or something.
** The second film was the only one in the series to suggest McClane has achieved any level of fame from his actions, with various people scoffing at his media appearances. In real life, the passengers on United 93 are lauded as heroes, and they didn't survive their counterattack on the 9/11 hijackers. If McClane was a real person, his face would have been added to the U.S. flag by now...
