Perhaps uniquely, Die Hard has also spawned its own sub-genre, the 'Die Hard on a ...' movie. The concept of one man up against a gang of terrorists or criminals, set in a confined setting. It became quite common in the 1990s for movies to be pitched in this way. For example:
Can anyone think of any others?
Die Hard on an X
Damn you. Now I can't stop reading TV Tropes.
I just got back onto TBBS after spending the last THREE HOURS reading TV Tropes. This happens every fucking time someone links to that site. I hate myself...
