Bruce Willis' McClane smoking in his dirty vest from Die Hard with Denzel Washington in his vest from 1991's Ricochet.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Arguably Denzel Washington's most shocking thriller is also a stealth Die Hard spinoff. Producer Joel Silver had a run of megahits from the 1980s onwards, having produced Commando, Predator, The Matrix and many more. Silver also produced the first two Die Hard movies, which had a sizable impact on action cinema.
Something even devotees of the Die Hard saga might not realize is that it has its own spinoff. In 1991, Denzel Washington fronted action thriller Ricochet, where his cop turned assistant district attorney Styles is tormented by vicious killer Blake , whom Styles once arrested. Years later, Blake escapes from prison and sets out to destroy Styles' reputation and life piece by piece.
What makes Ricochet so harrowing is how convincingly Washington plays Styles' crumbling mental state, as the character is driven to despair while nobody believes his wild claims about Blake. Of course, Styles later turns the tables, clears his name and gains his revenge, but his journey to get there is a grueling one.
