    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      It took four months to assemble and combine archive footage of past American presidents from Franklin D. Roosevelt to George W. Bush to create the televised warning from Gabriel. The goal was to create a video representation of a ransom note.
    • Goofs
      In the part where Farrell and Mclane try to start the BMW 5-series, Farrell asks the BMW SOS operator to start the car remotely. BMW's SOS service cannot do this in reality.
    • Quotes

      Matt Farrell: You just killed a helicopter with a car!

      John McClane: I was out of bullets.

    • Crazy credits
      After the 20th Century Fox opening logo has been on for a while, it suddenly "short circuits", causing flickering as the the searchlights fade, climaxing in a total power outage.
    • Alternate versions
      The unrated DVD (also known as the Ultimate Action Edition in some territories) contains frequent use of strong profanity and stronger violence (bullet hits are more graphically seen with blood spraying out). Also, McClane's signature line is now heard in full, as the gunshot does not obscure the latter part of it.

    An enjoyable thrill ride
    I think the criticism this movie has received is a little unfair. Personally I think it's great.

    Are there plot holes? Sure. Does everything seem to magically work out? Yes. Does that take away from the entertainment value? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

    I love that you have low-tech, luddite, badass John McClane trying to solve a technology based terrorism plot. McClane and the tech whiz kid playing off each other is wonderfully hilarious.

    Stop thinking too hard and just enjoy the sarcastic quips and pretty awesome action sequences.
