I was trying to think of an equivalent for the series the other day. I think it would be like if Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, The Transporter and Crank were all part of the same series. It starts off stubbornly un-commercial then gives away a piece of its soul with each new outing.

It mirrors the Die Hard series somewhat because in the first film the main character is an unlikely hero. - Inigo Nov 18, 09:48 1
- And Rambo to an extent as well. Die Hard is hard to judge in that it's intended to mock films yet accidentally became the standard bearer. -- nm - David Nov 18, 09:52
