Yippee ki yay, I did it my way.

1988’s Die Hard was an excellent and tightly crafted film that set the standard for action films of an entire generation and went on to inspire an entire series of excellent sequels. And A Good Day to Die Hard.

'Die Hard' and 'The Detective' Have the Same Protagonist In other respects, the film also contains many of the elements that are easy to see as the seeds of the later iconic persona of John McClane. While it is difficult to see McClane snooping around for evidence or solving murders with actual proper police procedure, he is a maverick who rubs many of his colleagues and relatives the wrong way, as seen in The Detective.

Thorp himself originally wrote the story with the idea of a film adaptation and wrote it as a sequel to The Detective with the idea that Frank Sinatra would reprise his role as Leland for the film version. Unfortunately, Sinatra himself, then in his 70s, did not feel up to the task, and so passed on the role. As a result, eventually, the entire character was changed, from an old man to a young one, trying to save his wife rather than his daughter.
