What is movie fans' favorite action flick of all time? After nineteen days of action-packed voting in Rogue Pictures and AMC Theatres' online poll, the winner was...
...
Die Hard. The 1988 classic, directed by John McTiernan and starring Bruce Willis, tallied the most votes out of several thousand cast on a customized page at the theatre chain's official Web site;
www.amctheatres.com/hotfuzz. The poll was timed to celebrate Rogue's April 20 U.S. release of
Hot Fuzz, the action-packed new hit comedy from the
Shaun of the Dead team. After its smash success in the U.K., the movie opened in the U.S. and became the best-reviewed comedy of the year; scored the highest per-screen average of any picture in the U.S. boxoffice Top 10 for two weeks in a row; and has grossed nearly $14 million domestically to date.
