  • Naked tai chi instantly establishes the villain, prompting a joke about reclaiming naked tai chi for the good guys. — Bill Simmons
  • The That Guy record is revisited: Fred Thompson, William Sadler, Vondie Curtis-Hall, Leguizamo, the doomed pilot, Don Harvey, Dennis Franz, Robert Costanzo, Sheila McCarthy and Art Evans. — Bill Simmons
  • The line about having taught the villain everything he knows is a favorite action trope, spun into a First Blood-style bit about a rogue colleague turned terrorist. — Bill Simmons
  • A reporter asking a colonel (transcribed "Colonel Stewart") for a few words and getting a two-word profane brush-off as he walks past her is chosen and jokingly recommended for office use. — Bill Simmons
  • The line about the same thing happening to the same guy twice is praised for self-awareness and noted as sampled in Positive K's I Got a Man. — Sean Fennessey
  • Airports at Christmas are chosen for the chaotic, nostalgic vibe of parkas and drinking before flights, though the same behavior also counts as aged worst. — Chris Ryan
  • McClane leaving his car at the curb, drinking and spotting trouble across the terminal is contrasted with a real traveler watching a Bulls game with a bet on it. — Bill Simmons
