My mate text me last night to say James Bond was on tv, I sent him one back saying, Nope john mcclane is on mine (watchin Die Hard 4). So anyway we had a bit of a txt argument, which character is better. James or John.

I say McClane all the way, he says Bond...What do guys think?

McClane without a doubt, die hard is amazing, my favorite film!

Bauer !!!

plus you could mention Bourne too

Posted by fatevdestiny
@grizlore - Amen to that! Jack Bauer is the man!

Jack Bauer once forgot where he put his keys. He then spent the next half-hour torturing himself until he gave up the location of the keys.

Just for the arguments sake, Bond or McClane?

But for everyone else...

Bond
McClane
Bourne
Bauer
Rambo

Who is the daddy???

It was James Bond For me

How can McClane even compare to Bond?

Posted by scotsboyuk
This is utterly ridiculous, there is no comparison; Bond every time. Mods please close this thread since it is so astonishingly obvious that Bond is best that we really don't need any further discussion.

Now something I have thought about lol. James Bond is meant to be a spy for the secret service right? He's meant to go undercover etc...so why is it he goes round telling everyone he's "bond, james bond" isn't it meant to be a secret?

I still think McClane is a better character though. The name John McClane strikes fear in bad guys hearts lol.

Always preferred Roger Moore myself...
Die-hard was awesome. Number 2 had a 2nd rate plot but Bruce Willis made it worth watching, but even Samuel L. Jackson couldn't save number 3. Haven't seen #4 yet, I'm worried it'll be like #3.

The names mclane... (wateva his first name is) Mclane...

Jason Bourne would kick both Bonds and Mclanes asses hands down.

john mcclaine would kick bonds ass no doubt!

Since I'm a BIG - MOVIE-fan . . . I can say that both James Bond and John McLane has two different personalities in the role they play or act at . . . Bond has CLASS portraying his roles . . . while McLane is more of a happy-go-lucky policeman . . . Seagal, Van Damme, Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Li, Chan and that Transporter guy should also be INCLUDED in the LIST as they are great action-heroes too !

Though between the TWO, I'll go with John McLane as I want seein' rugged action stunts than that of a SUAVE one which normally bein' played by - Bond . . . James Bond !

Btw, Stallone and Schwarzenegger (inlclude Kimi Raikkonen/Ferrari Team) should attend some SPEECH THERAPY prior to acting . . .

Jojo has a great point there. Jet Li is absolutely amazing and so is Jason Stratham

They have brought out a new film called War which I fully recommend because its amazing and full of kick ass action.

What about Chuck Norris

Posted by *Jojo*
@fate - Thanks for making me remember . . . yes, it's - John Stratham (Mr. Transporter). I just watched their latest flick in DVD: Rouge Assassins with - Jet Li ! The PLOT is NICE . . . but what made me MORE are the luxury cars bein' featured in the movie up to this time I am still thinkin' of the brand of car Jet Li rode in the movie nudie were also an attraction in the flick !

Bond knows his way around the range of phones though, McClane would have a Moto and not know how to use it, as he is technology-phobic. Remember 'Die Hard 2' where he needs help to use a fax machine...


Bond can also hack into M's computer and steal her MI6 avatar

Posted by DickySnapples
you dont need to know how a phone works to beat someone round the head with it!

@Jojo - Yeh its a great film. Think the car that he drives is a Lamborghini Spider is am not mistaken.

The film does have some relly good plot twists that you never see coming

Think this is the car:

Is this the car you mean? It's definately not a Ferrari or Lambo; not sure what it is actually...

Rouge eventually re-surfaces to settle a score of his own, igniting a bloody war criem between Asian mob-rivals: Chang (John Lone) of the Triads and Yakuza Boss Shiro (Ryo Ishibashi). When Jack and Rouge finally came face to face, the ultimate TRUTH of their pasts will be revealed !
