That's the beauty of McClane versus anyone...he's the ultimate underdog.

On paper, you'd never even give him a second thought in any of his on-screen fights.

However, he always finds a way to prevail. It's the epitome of the rugged individualism that America is.

To not think that McClane would defeat any of the more highly trained professional killers he has either already faced, or will face, is to doubt the idea of America itself!

You don't doubt America...do you?

Hard to argue with that.

But, but...didn't McClane always face foreign opponents? (haven't seen the last one, and really can't remember the 3rd)

Bourne is an American-trained killer. McClane wouldn't stand a chance.

Yep. He then proceeded to rip it the rest of the way off, beat them to death with it, then sew it back on himself after drinking a keg-sized kettle of JD as anesthesia.
<----pwned.

You win.

Jason Bourne fights Krav Maga style. 'Nuff said. Krav Maga has no rules. KM takes no prisoners.

Too late to cast my vote, but it is Jason Bourne and Krav Maga.

I could just picture John saying "enough of this kung fu sh^t." Then just killing him. No offense but more then likely John would have a gun and wouldn't be stupid enough to face the guy in hand to hand. Plus JM is just one tough SOB.

Vote - John.

That isn't part of the parameters. Straight up fight? Bourne rips him a new one, no contest.

I recently re-watched The Bourne Ultimatum and Bourne disarms and kicks the asses of about 10 trained killers in that movie.

McClane would have absolutely NO CHANCE against Bourne, under any circumstances.

I haven't even watched Ultimatum yet. I have owned it for a few months, and I will watch it with Linder for the first time this weekend. I'm excited.

You could still go with John because no matter how F'ed up the situation got he always came out on top...

As has been said, that's because he's a movie hero and he can get away with that. Problem is, Bourne is a movie hero too. None of the baddies McLain killed would match Bourne. Simply put, it's no contest.

The movies are very different as well. Bourne movies are serious and Die hards not so much...

I'll stick by my initial post...

I said that a couple of times this weekend.

It was awesome. Great trilogy to watch all together.
