Bruce Willis loved getting his butt kicked by a woman in the latest "Die Hard" movie. The 52-year-old star - whose character New York police officer John McClane battles sexy villain Mai in "Die Hard 4.0" - says the explosive fight scene with Maggie Q is one of his favorites in the movie.

He told BANG Showbiz: "The stuff that I do with Maggie is just bananas. First of all I have never fought a woman in a film before. Second, I have never got my a** kicked by a woman in a film before. Third, I don't hit women in real life, never have, never will, but Maggie bought believability to it.

"It's one of my favorite scenes of the film."

Hawaiian-born Maggie, 28, also revealed Bruce encouraged her to hit him harder.

She added: "A hero and a tough guy like Bruce is I imagined he would be like 'I don't want a chick kicking my ass,' but he was really into it. And that was really cool.

"When someone you are supposed to be hurting is saying 'yeah, good, more,' the tougher you look and the better it will sell."
