What does "Die Hard" even mean?

I guess it means die in a cruel and mean-spirited way?

So is the title a general description or relative to the leading character?

The former.
"I realized that what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply…evil."

I'm thinking it's a play on words.
It means that John is difficult to kill, but it also describes him as a "diehard", a person who is strongly devoted to something.

I think you're exactly right Itty.

A good movie title will have double meaning. In one sense it means die hard, as in devoted, or tenacious, and on the other hand it means he's hard to kill. It's a great title for a great movie.
Ask me another one. I'm the legend of movie chat.

I always took it as dying in a fight or battle, like all the people who cross John Mclean seem to do….

It means fight hard, never give up, and don't die easily.
Or as Dylan Thomas wrote:
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at the close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Or as Rodney Dangerfield said in Back to School: "I don't take **** from no one!"

Also, guys who die with a raging erection that's retained after death die hard.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

LOL, What is more important ?
The meaning of the Movie's title or if the Movie itself is good or not ?

Way to **** on a 3 year old thread that did just fine without your retarded input to begin with.
I don't think you know what a movie discussion board is. Maybe I should make a poll asking if you do.

I momentarily unblocked Anthony to see if he added some interesting insight into this thread, but was rightfully disappointed at his dumbassery so I threw him back on my blocklist

It means the opposite of Die Peacefully Of Old Age In Your Bed At Home. That fits with the plotline of this film just fine.
