To me it seems he is going there to meet up with him, and then runs in to him.

The "yippie-ki-yay" thing was a random snarky retort McClane made while he was sneaking through the Nakatomi hallways when Gruber said he was probably a nobody raised on cowboy movies, then Gruber fired it back at him at the final scene.

Yes it's the movie's big catchphrase but in the context of what's actually happening it points out how much this series struggles to make plausible sequels.

Seriously, it's time to put this franchise to rest.

I'll agree it makes sense in context, although that context is wholly created just for the sake of inserting that phrase. For the record, I think it's stupid in every film he's said it in other than T1 and T2.

It was, but my point was I thought the line worked in that context.

Yeah but this isn't stupid. As an analysis of the text..it doesn't make sense for it to repeatedly come up.

Terminator made more sense w/ it. Well T1 and T2.

Trailer looked pretty great....except for the photography. How awesome would it be if they went back to anamorphic and removed the teal filter? It would be nice to have nice, warm, saturated, semi-realistic color back in movies these days.
