Movie myths: true or false?
The myth: There is a Die Hard prequel starring Frank Sinatra as John McClane.
True or false? True, in a roundabout fashion. Die Hard was loosely based on a book called Nothing Lasts Forever, a sequel to a novel called The Detective. In 1968, they made a movie of The Detective starring Frank Sinatra as Joe Leland, the man who'd later become known as... John McClane. Sinatra's "Yippee-ki-yay, motherf***er!" line presumably never made the final cut.
