I would say Die Hard 4 is well-worth grandfathering into the trilogy. It's better than this one, IMO. I would make the somewhat controversial recommendation to stick to the PG-13 theatrical cut of the fourth film. The movie would be better if it were just rated R, but I also don't like the mostly post-production tricks (like digital blood and language added in looping/ADR) to make it into an R-rated film. Would've been better to shoot with squibs and swearing and then cover it up if they wanted a PG-13 instead of trying to add it back in after the fact.

The music on the grate scene sounds like from Aliens

The first four Die Hards are all based on source material of some kind. What's interesting about this is that the source material used for each film is unrelated to the other source material. The original movie is based off a book by Roderick Thorp called "Nothing Lasts Forever." People probably told you back when you watched Die Hard, but this was actually the second book with the same character adapted for the screen, with the previous book being adapted into the Frank Sinatra film The Detective in 1978. When they started work on the original Die Hard, Sinatra's contract obligated them to offer the role to him first, which he turned down. Die Hard 2 is also based on a book, but this one is by Walter Wager, and in the book, it's the character's daughter who is on the plane, not his wife. The third film was based on an existing original screenplay. I won't say which one, because you haven't watched the film yet, but there was a bit of a bidding war over the script, with the other studio also hoping to turn it into an action franchise sequel. Finally, the fourth film was based on a non-fiction article from 1997 for Wired Magazine. The only completely "original" film in the franchise is the fifth and final film A Good Day to Die Hard, which perhaps is why it sucks. This entry is an outlier in the franchise for a reason I won't say at the moment. You could potentially figure it out just by watching this one, but my guess is you won't even notice through to the end of three or hopefully four. It's interesting how much this was established, for some reason, to *me* as a tenet of the Die Hard franchise, yet I never see anyone else bring it up or notice. One fun bit of trivia that I love in the movie is that the score in the first three movies follows the same formula: they all quote a famous piece of music. The original movie obviously quotes "Ode to Joy." Many also notice the famous tune quoted in Die Hard With a Vengeance's music. This one is the most obscure: it quotes "Finlandia," a tone poem by Jean Sibelius, as a tribute to the film's Finnish director, Renny Harlin. Also, I know I keep mentioning it, but The Long Kiss Goodnight, also by Harlin, and written by Nice Guys' Shane Black. I promise you won't regret it.
