With Bruce Willis' retirement, the five official Die Hard movies might remain the series' limit for a while. However, the iconic influence of Die Hard lives on through numerous spinoffs and parodies. One recent example is Bride Hard, which follows the classic action formula with a comedic twist, centering on Rebel Wilson as a secret agent in a wedding setting. While Bride Hard has its flaws, it succeeds in demonstrating how Die Hard's basic premise has inspired countless variations in cinema.
The series will live on indefinitely, not just through beloved originals, but through the now-timeless art of the Die Hard ripoff.
Bride Hard hits theaters with a premise that seems reverse-engineered from its punny title, functioning as a variation on the Die Hard formula.
The original film is about a humble New York cop caught in a cat-and-mouse game when terrorists take his wife hostage.
Bride Hard is more of a Die Hard riff than a successful execution, being too spoofy and more interested in low-rent spectacle.
