Folks, I haven't seen this movie yet which just opened a few days ago worldwide, but for those who have seen it, is it true about the racist remarks?

The first one, I agree. Villain berating villain.

Second... John taunting the villain. They certainly should have chosen better. It's kind of in character... McClain is a very faulty action hero: this has been made plain from the start. But... not excuse. Damn, I missed it. Kind of a weak Diehard otherwise, if you ask me . More of a rental. Thought the boy should have been given a slight wink in regard to his daughter but... fits the character of the hardass he's playing.

Frankly... not out of character. If they had offered a positive Asian character, I would be less bothered by both the Willis line and me missing the comment. Think I just dismissed it, mentally, as a typical McClain taunt.
