Die Hard: Difference between revisions

** Even the video games are not immune to this. The [[Sega]] [[Beat'Em Up]] ''Die Hard Arcade'' was originally ''Dynamite Deka'' in Japan, whose main character (Bruno Delinger) just happened to resembled Bruce Willis. Sega simply tacked on the ''Die Hard'' license for the international release and claimed that Bruno was actually John McClane himself, and remade the villain into Hans Gruber.

*** Also, the arcade game has nothing to do with any of the films, nothing to do with the archetype, and nothing about the main character that uniquely suggests John McClane; it's just a generic plot about rescuing the President's daughter with a cop named John McClane who ''kind'' of acts like the film character. The Japanese release was stand-alone.
