Part of what makes the “Die Hard” franchise so enduring is the way Bruce Willis somehow manages to skirt death in the nuttiest ways possible. We can't tell you how many times this dude should've died in any of the first four movies, but somehow, he always lives to see another day.

For the fifth movie of the franchise, called "A Good Day to Die Hard", director John Moore decided to put his Michael Bay hat to good use by destroying a staggering total of cars. "There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again," he told USA Today.

"Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there. ... That's the fun of it."

Moore goes on to say that all 132 destroyed cars - one of which was a Lamborghini->ke44 - were used in just one scene, a mind-blowing sequence that ended up costing production $11 million. Incredibly, that $11 million doesn't even include the slew of Mercedes G-Class->ke1712 SUVs that were donated to the film by the German automaker. And yes, those vehicles were wrecked too, as you can see in the video above.

But that's not even the most unbelievable part because somehow, someway, John McClane lived through all that carnage, too.

We're still waiting for the movie where McClane finally lives up to the franchise's title and 'die hard'.
