gun on a plane

smoking in airport

drinking while pregnant

white shiny stirrup pants

Run-DMC christmas song

"car phone"

gas for SEVENTY FIVE CENTS

bad guys are blond-haired germans (hair is so blond it's almost white)

- John McClane is a bad ass who would never get a manicure or ever be close to being considered metro-sexual (even though i think this term is outdated, tell it to Collin Ferrell, Will Smith or Jamie Fox) You don't have to be pretty to be bad ass!

- Reggie Vel Johnson had not yet met Urkel, Raven Somone or any other blackspoiltation child actor and had not been typecast as the "Fat Black Cop"
