In retrospect, it's easy to say "Of course the new 'Die hard' movie was going to open at number one at the box office!" but you can bet Bruce Willis and company were a little worried. After all, 'A Good Day to Die Hard' opened in the wake of the failure of 'The Last Stand,' 'Parker' and 'Bullet to the Head,' three other macho, R-rated movies starring modern action icons. However, the strength of the 'Die Hard' brand seems to have broken that trend: John McClane's fifth outing made $25 million over the weekend.

Often, when it comes to promoting a movie, actors are often as likely to fall back on hyperbole as a fanboy seeing the latest comic book movie.

New 'A Good Day to Die Hard' TV Spot Proudly Shows Off R-Rating

A few days ago, we heard the delightful news that 'A Good Day to Die Hard' would receive an R-rating, which automatically gives it a leg up on the bloodless, "Yippe ki-yay, motherf****r"-less 'Live Free or Die Hard.' For all we know, the fifth adventure of John McClane and his increasingly troubled family will be terrible, but at least the character will actually be able to, you know, say his catchphrase.

The latest TV spot for the film seems to wear the R-rating as a badge of honor. Check it out below.
