Nakatomi Plaza: Die Hard Collection [Blu-ray]

If you’re a fan of the “Die Hard” franchise who is looking for a convenient way to upgrade your old DVD’s and get the full high-definition treatment for the franchise, this is definitely a great set! With all five movies and a very decent selection of special features, in addition to a very nifty display-model of the Nakatomi Tower that houses the discs, I’d highly recommend it.…just try and get it on sale. While the Nakatomi Tower model is a great conversation and display-piece and a very cool container for the films, I don’t think its inclusion warrants the $100 (or more) price tag. This is a great set… just not quite “$100 great” if you catch my drift. I could definitely see dropping $75-$80 on it, but going into triple-digits for the price tag is a bit much. It’s essentially a foot-or-so-tall piece of thin hollow plastic, and to be honest, it’s not even particularly sturdy or heavy. I’m almost 100% sure at some point my copy is going to pick up scuffs or chips just from basic use and transportation no matter how careful I am, so be aware that this isn’t an overly-intricate or expensive model. It’s just sort-of a fun-albeit-flimsy display-piece. (I managed to pick it up on Sale the day after Christmas for about $65, and for that price, it’s a steal! So keep your eyes peeled on other possible sales.)The video quality is fantastic. Especially the original film. This is easily the best I’ve ever seen it look in a home-video release. All of the sequels look fantastic and quite sharp and crisp.I’m also very pleased by the inclusion of the Unrated Cut of the fourth film, which was a big selling point for me and pushed me into finally taking the dive to buying this film. I never hated the original PG-13 cut, but the Unrated Cut I had seen on DVD was a much more tonally and aesthetically sound version when placed into the perspective of the series, and I’ve had trouble finding Blu-Ray copies of it in the past, so knowing it was definitely part of this release very much pleased me.I’d say if you’re interested, this set will probably please you. And I do highly recommend it. I just do think it’s worth holding off until you can get it at a good sale price before picking it up.

Just opening the box that this was shipped in was enough to put a huge smile on my face. Yippie-ki-yay!The original Die Hard is a classic in every sense of the word. It may be the best action-comedy ever made, with great laughs and suspense all the way through. The sequels... are of varying quality. For my money, Die Hard with a Vengeance is the only one that comes close to the original's greatness, but they all have their moments. That said, this review is not about the films but this specific collector's edition. If you merely want the movies,  Die Hard: 25th Anniversary Collection (Die Hard / Die Hard 2: Die Harder / Die Hard with a Vengeance / Live Free or Die Hard / Decoding Die Hard) [Blu-ray ] is significantly cheaper and will probably do the job for you.This set is packaged very nicely inside a box with a large window on the front and a variety of pictures from the films on the other sides. The model of the building is fantastic. It stands tall (somewhere around 16" I believe) and is very impressive. It also comes with the films (of course!), a slip for digital copies of the films, and some cards featuring the villains (that are bigger than I expected but still not all that big).Personally, I really appreciate that they put the discs inside of a case. Sometimes these sets come with the movies in sleeves or, worse, simply loose, held in place by a spindle or foam. I have a shelf with all of my movies and this means I can put the case containing the movies while still having the Nakatomi Plaza model elsewhere to admire.All in all, it's a fantastic set and a great purchase for any true fan.

This Nakatomi Plaza Collection includes the unrated director's cut of Live Free or Die Hard. Anyone who hated the theatrical edition should watch this version before judging. John McClane's catchphrase in no longer censored. He uses that word PG13 hated a lot more than once. I’m not sure why the studio wanted the theatrical cut to be PG13. If kids couldn’t watch the first three, why would they watch the fourth film? The first one I saw was Die Hard 2, and I was confused every time a reference to the previous film came up. I never even saw the theatrical cut of Live Free or Die Hard, knowing our hero’s catchphrase would be censored, I waited for the director’s cut. The first film came out in 1988, but its set during Christmas 1989. Die Hard 2 says it’s the 1990's. Die Hard 2 came out in 1990. John McClane of Die Hard 2 says this is how he spent Christmas last year. One year after 1988 wouldn’t be the 1990's. A Good Day To Die Hard has an extended edition that omits Lucy McClane, not sure why, I like Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Sky High, Grindhouse). A lot of people seem to hate the last two films, even when going by the director's cut of the fKurth film. A lot of people hated The X-Files season ten. Oh I get it, they don't like seeing their heroes grow old. There’s also a bonus disc called decoding die hard. The boxset comes in a huge model of the Nakatomi Plaza, which is why they call this the Nakatomi Plaza Collection.

Amazing, not only greatest films ever but always gets friends and family talking whenever they see the nakatomi plaza in my house! If your a true die hard fan then you need this in your life

Una edicion que contiene las 5 películas de jungla de cristal en formato bluray +el icónico edificio nakatomi plaza lo único malo es que las películas vienen con la region A y si tu bluray no es multizona no se pueden reproducir en un reproductor de españa que son zona b

Cumplió su misión, era un regalo especial

Nice item, good for a fan of the films. Region 1 so cant play on most Blu-ray players in uk. But the tower itself is a showpiece.

This product totally met expectations and then some. It looks Fantastic sitting on one of my tower speakers in the home theatre. Need more items like this!
