And that’s just in one car chase. As you’d expect of a Bruce Willis action movie, there’s plenty of wanton destruction in the latest installment of the Die Hard franchise. And most of that is of the four-wheeled variety.

And that was without the generosity of Mercedes who supplied the production team with several different models gratis. Moore was told that he could keep any of the cars that didn’t get wrecked. Needless to say – as the footage courtesy of the carmaker proves – that didn’t happen.
