— Die Hard (1988), screenplay by Jeb Stuart and Steven E. de Souza, novel by Roderick Thorp

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Action Hero Wisecracks.

Trivia: The line “Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!” is used in all Five Die Hard movies (this one, Die Hard 2 (1990), Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995), Live Free or Die Hard (2007), (although a gunshot masks the ‘fucker’ part in the PG-13 cut, it is heard in the unrated version) and A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)). It also translates in Urdu to “here eat this.” The line was voted as the #96 of “The 100 Greatest Movie Lines” by Premiere in 2007.
