Trivia
This was the first Die Hard film where the original script was explicitly written as an entry in the Die Hard series. The first Die Hard (1988) film was based on a novel by Roderick Thorp. Die Hard 2 (1990) was first written as a script based on Walter Wager's novel '58 Minutes'. Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995) famously took its basic idea from Jonathan Hensleigh's screenplay Simon Says. Live Free or Die Hard (2007) was retro-fitted from the original screenplay WW3.com, which was nearly filmed on its own merits before the 9/11 terrorist attacks caused it to be shelved.

Goofs
All roads leading into the Chernobyl/Pripyat exclusion zone have military checkpoints - yet neither the villains or the heroes seem to have any trouble gaining access.

Quotes
John McClane: The shit we do for our kids. Yippie-kai-yay, motherfucker.

Alternate versions
After the UK censors informed Fox that the R-rated cut of the film would be carry a 15 rating, the distributors cut out almost all strong language, some scenes of fisticuffs and bloodier violence in order to release the film with a 12A rating for theatrical exhibition only. The cuts were waived when released on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK in 2013 with a '15' rating thus presenting the US R-rated Theatrical Version uncut for home video release. The UK 12A Theatrical cut is not released on home video formats.

Rubbish

The first 3 Die Hard movies were incredible. Hans Gruber is one of the greatest cinema bad guys of all time. Die Hard 4 was okay

But this?

What kind of rubbish is this? Jai Courtney's back story and character is piss weak, and Willis just turns up to act bullet proof and crack wise here and there for a juicy paycheque

Mclane is no longer a flawed and physically vulnerable character. He's morphed into an invulnerable bald dude who's ego won't allow him to take any damage

Please stop tarnishing the original trilogy with this rubbish
