Line 21:
** The title of a chapter in the corresponding manga storyarc? "Titanic Episode 4 - With a Vengeance".
* The events on the Sand Steamer in ''[[Trigun]]''.
* Parodied/Lampshaded in the ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' light novels. In this case, it's the good guys pretending to be terrorists in order to catch real terrorists, and they nickname the heroic troublemaker among the passengers [[Die Hard|John McClane]].
** Also played straight in ''Into The Blue'' and the corresponding anime arc, in which Gauron hijacks the Tuatha de Danaan, with Sousuke, Kurz, and (eventually, thanks to Tessa's efforts) Kaname loose on board.
* ''[[Early Reins]]'': ''Die Hard'' on a train! In [[The Wild West]]! And the heroes are [[Girls with Guns]]!
Line 157:
* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' was "''Die Hard'' on an Alaskan Military Base".
** Come to think of it, ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater]]: Snake Eater'' was "''Die Hard'' on a Russian Military Base During the Cold War".
*** ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'' manages to cover "DH on a ship" and "DH in a clean up facility." ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'' is a bit like ''Live Free or Die Hard'' in the sense that Snake does quite a bit of traveling in the game. This game lets us add "DH in the Middle East, South America, Europe and Alaska" before coming back to being on a ship again (which this time around is more like [[Storming the Castle]])
** Of course the original ''[[Metal Gear]]'' (and sequels) came out in 1987 pre-dating ''Die Hard'' and with the same basic plot. Many also differ in that the "terrorists" often aren't taking over anything, but staying at home being evil and Snake needs to infiltrate them.
*** Die Hard in Zanzibar, that's about it.
