    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 Die Hard (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match the officially classified version, this much-sanitized release fell foul of British censorship laws, and was withdrawn.

    This Die Hard is the fastest moving of the trilogy.
    I like this one about as much as I like the first one. The first one had a better plot and was more tense, but this one moves at a very fast rate and it seems like it is over before it begins. A vast improvement over part two, this movie once again finds McClane in the middle of an emergency situation. This time, unlike part two, though it is very reasonable that he is involved as Irons character is the brother of the lead villain of the first Die Hard. Throw in a very funny Samuel L Jacksoncharacter and you have the makings of a great film action wise andcomedy wise too. This one centers around a mad bomber, threatening to blow up several places including a school if officer McClane does not play the game. McClane must do whatever the bomber says and boy does the bomber do a lot to get our hero down. Great action is a given as our hero desperately must try to find the bombs. Multiple car scenes a cool scene on a boat, and loads and loads of gold thrown in for an exciting ride. Irons is great as the villain, as was Rickman in the first one. Truly this is one fast moving ride that will keep you well entertained throughout.

    FAQ22

    • 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 AND was behind the bed of the dump truck and bullets were clearly going straight through the guys body and not at an angle?
    • Why did John McClain say to Zeus: "It could be worse, you could be smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo".
    • How much sex, violence, and profanity are in this movie?
