man they’ve really milked this premise
for all it’s worth haven’t they welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
movies that ripped off diehard this
demand was looking for this building
anything can be done the problem with a
vision before we begin we publish new
content every day so be sure to
subscribe to our channel and ring the
bell to get notified about our latest
videos for this list we’re looking at
films that blatantly ripped off the
premise of a man forced to fight off a
threat in an enclosed location number 10
passenger 57 ladies and gentlemen
I’m afraid your in-flight entertainment
program has been cancelled also known as
die hard on a plane passenger 57 stars
Wesley Snipes is John cutter a man who’s
forced to defend an airplane from
terrorists not only is the concept
itself a ripoff but also many of the
movie’s plot points borrow and we use
that term loosely from die hard cutter
is in the bathroom when the terrorists
take over just like John McClane an
authority figure in this case chief
Leonard Biggs stands in the heros wave
for part of the movie the big bad is an
intelligent articulate man who also
happens to fall to his death we could go
on but we’re pressed for time
[Music]
number nine sudden-death have some work
to do I’ll be back before the period
ends
aka die hard in a hockey arena man they
were really desperate in this movie
action stars jean-claude Van Damme stars
as Darren McCord a fire marshal and
security guard at the Pittsburgh Civic
Arena while attending Game seven of the
playoffs with his children McCord
realizes that an ex-cia operative turned
terrorist is holding the vice president
hostage in the arena’s luxury suite
it’s jean-claude van Damme were you
expecting hi art I’m having a real bad
day like diehard
the arena is wired with explosives of
family members kidnapped a standoff
between police and terrorists occurs and
McCord takes out the bad guys one by one
from within listen to me this is good if
you touch her look at her how do you
figure that fireman number eight Olympus
has fallen there’s been an incursion
please stand out let’s go move yeah aka
die hard in the White House Olympus has
fallen takes many cues from die hard
including its premise which sees in
North Korea assaulting the White House
and keeping the president captive in the
bunker Mike banning and his allies must
then take out the terrorists one by one
while attempting to save the president
the movie was criticized upon release
for its own originality with many
critics noting its blatant similarities
to die hard in terms of story and style
and to make matters worse a movie with
basically the exact same premise called
White House down was released not three
months later but you have got to get the
President to safety okay number seven
Conair welcome to Con Air aka die hard
on a plane again so does that make con
air a ripoff of both die hard and
passenger 57 Conair is the rather goofy
title suggests C’s violent prisoners
overtaking a prison transport aircraft
in an honorably discharged Army Ranger
and manslaughter convict tries to foil a
prisoners plans of flying to a
non-extradition country throughout the
movie the hero battles and outwits the
prisoners while forming a close bond
with an authority figure who he attempts
to aid throughout the crisis unlike
diehard con air is extremely
over-the-top and bombastic but it still
flies a little too close for our tastes
we have a traitor in our myths number
six the raid the raid is an admittedly
great martial arts film that sees an
elite police squad storming and fighting
their way through a high-rise building
to reach the crime lord comfortably
situated at the top this premise would
be borrowed for the Dredd remake
although that will be kicked a lot of
ass too in the raid the police officers
are brutally attacked by the crime lords
henchmen pinned with no outside help are
subsequently trapped in the apartment
complex and forced to defend themselves
from the violent goons however the sheer
technicality of the martial arts action
allows us to look past it’s rather an
original premise let’s get a soda Hannah
I’ll be here well we didn’t think we’d
ever say the words die hard on a
mountain but cliffhanger sees to that
cliffhanger star is everyone’s favorite
action hero sylvester stallone who stars
alongside john lithgow and michael
rooker the story sees the lone and his
allies attempting to stop a former
military operative and US Treasury agent
from locating lost suitcases full of
money like diehard cliff hanger sees the
flawed gabe taking out the operatives
henchman one-by-one and constantly
foiling his plans only in this movie
it’s on a freaking mountain rather than
a skyscraper number four the rock can
you do something about it
like what kill him again the rock is die
hard on the rock san Francisco’s famous
Alcatraz Island the story sees rogue
marine storming Alcatraz taking its
tourists hostage and threatening to blow
the city up unless they’re paid 100
million dollars the authorities send in
Nicolas Cage’s Stanley Goodspeed and
Sean Connery’s John Mason to foil the
Marines plans the two then navigate
through Alcatraz taking out men and
disarming bombs along the way while it
borrows heavily from die hard it
nevertheless received positive reviews
and is one of the few Michael Bay
productions to hold a fresh rating on
number three Air Force One this aircraft
understood
and they really milked the diehard on a
plane concept in the 90s didn’t they Air
Force one stars the always awesome
Harrison Ford as president James
Marshall as he fights off terrorists
inside his very own presidential
aircraft the movie contains your typical
diehard tropes like the good guy
wandering around the plane while killing
bad guys and the good guys M receiving
assistance from an outside source in
this case the Vice President he’s gonna
want a glass of milk and while it is
riddled with cliches it’s still great
pulpy entertainment and one of Harrison
Ford’s greatest modern issues it off my
plane
number two speed die hard was such a big
hit that many producers wanted to
replicate its concept and ingredients
for their own success as we’ve
established the 90s seemed to be a bid
as to who could offer the most violence
the most fun and the most cramped
conditions we think speed has the meet
in the latter department speed stars
Keanu Reeves as Jack Travon a SWAT
officer who must prevent a city bus from
exploding by keeping it over 50 miles
per hour yeah Jack five minutes the
story line is certainly original but it
still contains very die hardy elements
such as the hero enclosed in a cramped
and explosives riddled location while
trading barbs with the villain via radio
I thought it was customary for a police
officer to you know shoot the bad guys
huh number one under siege come on
that’s not striking officer striking
while there were plenty of diehard
imitators throughout the 90s none was as
shamelessly blatant about it as Steven
Seagal’s under siege just a cook a cook
Segal stars as a ship cook who’s locked
in the freezer while a band of commandos
storms the ship like diehard the
commandos then keep the hostages in an
enclosed location the hero maintains
contact with an outside source while
methodically taking out the bad guys and
a helicopter meant to save the day is
blown up by the villains in a shocking
and dramatic twist and while under siege
was well received critics have noted its
blatant similarities to die hard and
labelled it die hard on a battleship
negative do you agree with our picks
