    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Bruce Willis suggested Samuel L. Jackson for the movie. Jackson was thrilled. He says he's "seen the first Vain kuolleen ruumiini yli (1988) maybe thirty times."
    • Goofs
      McClane uses a mixture of the binary liquids to blow the handcuffs off Zeus on the container ship. The amount he uses would have been enough to blow at least one of Zeus' hands off (in comparison to the amounts used as a demonstration earlier on in the film).
    • Quotes

      Zeus: Why you keep calling me Jesús? I look Puerto Rican to you?

      John McClane: Guy back there called you Jesús.

      Zeus: He didn't say Jesús. He said, "Hey, Zeus!" My name is Zeus.

      John McClane: Zeus?

      Zeus: Yeah, Zeus! As in, father of Apollo? Mt. Olympus? Don't fuck with me or I'll shove a lightning bolt up your ass? Zeus! You got a problem with that?

      John McClane: No, I don't have a problem with that.

    • Alternate versions
      The original release of the UK DVD version in 1999 was actually even more cut than the British video and cinema versions. Because the content did not exactly match the officially classified version, this much-sanitized release fell foul of British censorship laws, and was withdrawn.

    8/10
    Great action movie with fast paced action throughout, but weak ending
    The movie starts off by re-introducing John McClane, and immediately takes off with non-stop action. Samuel L Jackson has great chemistry with Willis, and they really work with each other. Even thought the movie was made almost 20 years ago, due to the dependence on mainly practical effects, it still looks good.

    The one major downfall of the movie was the ending. It is too bad, since that is what the viewer will remember. It could have been easily re- mediated if they went with a less typical Hollywood-type ending, and that would also have been in line with everything else in the movie. Also, the water riddle was solved way too easily by John, and the editing of it didn't even show how he randomly arrived at the answer.

    • While in the tunnel how was McClane able to shoot the guy that was in the passenger side of the dump truck while McClane was on the drivers side? The bullets appear to pass through the driver's chest, towards the front of the truck?
    • Who is the small girl inside the cabin of the Polly-K trying to stay out of the shot?
    • Why did John McClain say to Zeus: "It could be worse, you could be smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo".
