    Two action classics.

    I'd say ETD.

    I have to say, Xplosive, sometimes I do wonder what is going through that head of yours. Why the hell would you compare these two films? Different types of film entirely.

    Anyway, Enter The Dragon is far superior, obviously. It's in a different class. Die Hard is standard action mumbo jumbo...but ETD is a classic.

    A more appropriate comparison would have been ETD vs Bloodsport, but of course it would not be a fair comparison 'cause ETD is like the Citizen Kane of martial arts films.

    Comparing ETD and Bloodsport is like comparing Jaws and Deep Blue Sea... only worse, because at least Deep Blue Sea is watchable.

    But they are in the same genre and kind of similar AND Bloodsport is a cult classic while only you remember DBS.

    Actually, ETD and Die Hard ARE comparable because both revolutioned movies in their own way, and built a formulas that been emulated MANY times over.

    Die Hard, clearly. Odd match up though.

    No, and please put down the crack pipe.

    They are not comparable at all. And yes, bloodsport would have been a better comparison or any other martial arts film for that matter.

    Agreed. You make another fucked up versus thread and we’re going to have to have an intervention.
