After all,
John McClane has:

* Blown up a helicopter with a car
* Thrown a dead man out a window of a skyscraper
* Walked on glass with bare feet
* Shot a man through his own chest
* Jumped onto a moving subway
* Jumped off an exploding boat
* Jumped off an exploding building
* Saved a skyscraper from terrorists
* Saved an airport from terrorists
* Saved New York City from terrorists
* Saved Canada from terrorists
* Saved the entire internet from terrorists
* Blown up an airplane with a single match
* Rode a flaming fighter jet
* Tied a dead man to a chair, put a santa hat on him and painted a message on him with his own blood.

He used a lighter, my friend. Jeez, everybody knows it's impossible to blow up an airplane with a match! Though, if it were possible, he'd be the person who could do it.

I believe it was through his shoulder, if it was through his chest he would have collapsed his lung and wouldn't have walked away from it so easily.
Who do you think he is, Chuck Norris?

I'd only vote for McClane if Jack Bauer weren't running.
