Die Hard 2 (1990): Snow, Chaos & Airport Dad Energy

Strap in, holiday travelers — this week the Rewind or Die crew digs into Die Hard 2 (1990), the only action sequel brave enough to say, “What if Christmas travel was already terrible… and then we made it way worse?”

Join Adam, Jeff, and Steve as they unravel the snow-covered madness of the most chaotic airport movie ever filmed. We’re talking:

• John McClane vs. Weather, Bureaucracy, and Questionable Airport Security

• William Sadler doing naked villain yoga for… reasons

• The greatest collection of “THAT GUY!” actors ever assembled

• The return of Val Verde, Hollywood’s favorite fictional geopolitical disaster

• Renny Harlin cranking the chaos dial to 11

• Fred Thompson as an airport boss who will one day become a U.S. Senator

• Colm Meaney showing up just long enough to shout “Chief O’Brien lives!”

• John Amos delivering one of the best villain twists of the 90s

Plus: box office trivia, sequel science, and the definitive answer to the question:

“Is Die Hard 2 actually a Christmas movie… even though it came out on July 4th?”

This episode is packed with film analysis, nostalgic VHS-era energy, and the kind of holiday rage only airport parking can inspire.

If you love 90s action movies, Bruce Willis on the brink, pure sequel chaos, or hearing three friends yell about airport logistics… this one’s for you.
