Sex & Nudity
-
- (At 23:30) There is about 10 seconds of a woman with her top open and her breasts exposed and her boyfriend trying to pull his pants up. While it isn't a closeup, the view is clear.
- There is a poster with a topless woman on it.
- John McClane briefly looks at a woman undressing in the building next door through a window.
Violence & Gore
-
- The majority of the film consists of shootouts and gunplay, as the main character is forced to use lethal force against the bad guys. Many characters die from gunshots, and there is a fair amount of blood but never any gore.
- There is one brutal fight scene in which a character is repeatedly kicked in the face, and the altercation ends when one of the combatants is hung from a chain by the neck.
- One character is shot in the groin and waist through a table, and another character is shot point-blank and dies. One character is shot in the head, and the hole in his head, as well as some spattered blood, can be seen.
- Two characters get into a brief fight, and one of the characters falls down the stairs and breaks their neck. The dead man's body is then tied to a chair and put into an elevator.
- The protagonist drops a homemade bomb down an elevator shaft, resulting in a large explosion, which kills two bad guys.
- One character is shot, and falls out of the building to his death, though he isn't shown hitting the ground.
- The protagonist's feet get cut by glass that he steps on after many windows are shot out in a gunfight.
- There is also a scene where the protagonist kills a terrorist and throws him out the window to attract the attention of a police officer. The body slams into the police officers windshield and he crashes the car in panic.
- John's feet are cut by glass. A bit bloody.
- There is some blood when people get shot (generally while running). Nothing overly graphic however.
- There is a high amount of bloody gun violence throughout the film.
- It's true that the movie has bloody shots, but its more moderate than severe.

Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The fight scene between John and Karl is brutal and intense.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- Karl and John get into a brutal fistfight, and John is seen to be very bloody. He is getting beaten a few times, then he takes a chain and put it around Karl's neck and hangs Karl to death. This scene is pretty intense
- Hans Gruber holds Holly hostage and then John shoots him and another bad guy, and Hans falls through a window. He is seen holding Holly's hand, and when John releases her hand, Hans falls down from the skyscraper and dies, though he isn't shown hitting the ground.
- Hans executes Takagi by shooting him in the head. Although brief, the film clearly depicts the gun being fired at close range and a huge bloody spray is shown exploding across a window.
- In a scene John is on the rooftop and hangs a criminal on a heavy metal chain. He swings back and fourth and could be quite disturbing and violent to some people
- A man is hung by chains from his neck not that graphic you think he is dead but he is not
- McClane is forced to walk on shards of glass barefoot to escape after the terrorists shoot glass windows in the process of a gunfight. By the end he is dragging his foot across the ground and a large blood trail is seen. He is later seen getting shards of glass out of his foot. This isn't graphic, and the actual shard pulling is mostly offscreen and interspersed with other scenes, quite a lot of blood is seen however.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- To outmaneuver his opponents, McClane desperately hangs from his sub-machine gun's strap in a deep air shaft to get to an ventilation duct. The attempt is depicted from above and it is clearly a unsurvivable drop to the bottom of the building if he falls. As McClane makes his attempt, the strap is undone and he falls, barely managing to grab on to a lower ventilation duct and enter it to safety. This scene is pretty intense.
- McClane discovers the villains are going to kill all the hostages when they blow up the roof. He barely manages to drive the hostages back down, dodges rifle fire from two trigger happy FBI agents from a helicopter and escape the roof himself before the explosives detonate and destroy the helicopter.
