Let's face it, this is not a good movie, it's pretty bad. But that being said, I do like to watch it as part of my Die Hard rewatches. Why? I'm not sure, maybe I like to torture myself. But it does have some good action. The car chase scene is really good. The extended cut adds more action, which is cool, but it also removes all of Lucy, his daughter. Why they did that I have no idea. What little heart the theatrical version had was gone in the extended version.

Live Free or Die Hard is my second favorite Die Hard movie (behind the original, of course). For most it is probably Die Hard - With A Vengeance, which I also love, but I have always enjoyed Live Free (except for one scene, the F35 scene).

For me it goes;
Die Hard – A nearly perfect movie.
Live Free – Slightly flawed, but I enjoy.
With a Vengeance – Nearly perfect.
Die Hard 2 – A good (but not great) action movie, with no glaring flaw that can be fixed by an edit and doesn’t necessarily need it anyway.
A Good Day to – Very flawed and just not a good movie at all. I already did an edit of it, trying to make it at least tolerable as part of a rewatch.
But back to the point of this post, Live Free or Die Hard. This edit uses the unrated version as the base and adds back in most of (if not all) that was removed from the theatrical to make the unrated version. The only things that were not added back are the lines that were directly replaced with a new line. And the biggest changes are to the F35 scene near the end.
