Yippee 00:00:43.829 --> 00:00:48.979 -ki -yay, Mr. Falcon. That's right, it's all 00:00:48.979 --> 00:00:51.200 about the Falcon, fucker. There's nothing wrong 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:53.619 with your podcast player. Just an attempt to 00:00:53.619 --> 00:00:55.799 adjust the volume. Hello and welcome back into 00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:58.619 our studio. You're now inside Studio 2009, which 00:00:58.619 --> 00:01:02.719 is now covered with snow here in July. Only on 00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:04.840 the Geekcast Radio Network. I'm of course TFG 00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:08.239 and Mike Dramey. Once again, as always, is Steve 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.640 Megatron. Hello, sir. How are you? Good, good. 00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:15.340 Good, good. We are continuing on in this five 00:01:15.340 --> 00:01:18.439 -episode arc. It's either going to be five weeks 00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:20.620 or five days. It's most likely going to be five 00:01:20.620 --> 00:01:24.859 days, folks. As we trek through the Die Hard 00:01:24.859 --> 00:01:31.060 film franchise. And this one, we Die Harder. 00:01:31.579 --> 00:01:35.319 Now, I read through various things and various 00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:38.439 whatever. Technically, this is Die Hard 2, Die 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.099 Harder. But originally, this was just going to 00:01:42.099 --> 00:01:48.290 be called Die Harder. I don't know if that would 00:01:48.290 --> 00:01:53.290 have worked. Because if you notice, between Die 00:01:53.290 --> 00:01:57.450 Hard, Die Hard 2, Die Harder, and Die Hard with 00:01:57.450 --> 00:02:01.390 a Vengeance, they dropped Die Hard 3. I mean, 00:02:01.409 --> 00:02:04.230 yes, we call it Die Hard 3 with a Vengeance, 00:02:04.269 --> 00:02:08.650 but it is literally just Die Hard with a Vengeance 00:02:08.650 --> 00:02:12.210 for the third movie. There is no numbering for 00:02:12.210 --> 00:02:16.669 the third movie. So, I don't know. I don't know 00:02:16.669 --> 00:02:19.210 if anyone would have gone to see a movie called 00:02:19.210 --> 00:02:24.509 die harder in, you know, I think they should 00:02:24.509 --> 00:02:29.849 have just kept it at die hard to like, and then 00:02:29.849 --> 00:02:34.110 die hard three and then die hard for just make 00:02:34.110 --> 00:02:38.270 it super simple for people. Yeah. Die harder. 00:02:38.389 --> 00:02:45.069 Just didn't sound great. Each one got progressively 00:02:45.069 --> 00:02:48.650 worse, though. Die Hard with a Vengeance was 00:02:48.650 --> 00:02:52.830 decent, so was Live Free or Die Hard. And then 00:02:52.830 --> 00:02:57.370 it was A Good Day to Die Hard, which was a play 00:02:57.370 --> 00:03:02.530 on It's a Good Day to Die from Star Trek. Yeah. 00:03:04.430 --> 00:03:11.050 Today is a good day to die. Yeah. That line came 00:03:11.050 --> 00:03:17.129 from Worf, but I mean, Die Hard, Star Trek, they 00:03:17.129 --> 00:03:22.189 have a few things in common. We'll get to that. 00:03:25.469 --> 00:03:35.750 Few. Very few. Very little. Very small. But yes, 00:03:37.629 --> 00:03:51.370 Die Hard. came out in oh joy nothing like celebrating 00:03:51.370 --> 00:03:59.210 the independence of America in 1990 with terrorists 00:03:59.210 --> 00:04:03.969 taking over the Washington DC airport of Dulles 00:04:03.969 --> 00:04:07.979 oh my god are you kidding me This came out July 00:04:07.979 --> 00:04:20.620 4th, 1990. I can't. Oh, man. Oh, I was 10 when 00:04:20.620 --> 00:04:26.180 this came out. You were 4 at the time. No. You 00:04:26.180 --> 00:04:31.980 were, yeah, 86, 90. Yeah, you were 4. You were 00:04:31.980 --> 00:04:36.259 4 years apart. That's right. Yeah, I was. I was 00:04:36.259 --> 00:04:41.160 little. Yeah, you a little. Holy crap, folks. 00:04:41.259 --> 00:04:46.600 10 p .m. and my math is... That's not bad, Mike. 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.139 That's not bad at all. But yeah, Die Hard 2, 00:04:50.339 --> 00:04:56.879 Die Harder, was directed by... Now, I was surprised 00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.279 at this. I was really surprised at this, and 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:02.120 we are going to go through this man's filmography 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:06.540 just a little bit. I had forgotten who, because 00:05:06.540 --> 00:05:09.459 Die Hard 2 is kind of like the one, up until 00:05:09.459 --> 00:05:12.540 the fifth movie, when it was originally just 00:05:12.540 --> 00:05:16.199 the fourquel or whatever. I knew the first two 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:18.360 movies, the first movie and the third movie was 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:21.389 John McTiernan. I don't remember off the top 00:05:21.389 --> 00:05:23.269 of my head who directed the fourth one. I'll 00:05:23.269 --> 00:05:26.189 look at that later. And like we said in the last 00:05:26.189 --> 00:05:28.629 episode of the podcast, the second one is kind 00:05:28.629 --> 00:05:32.290 of like a blank spot. It's kind of like a missing 00:05:32.290 --> 00:05:36.310 whatever kind of thing for us. And it really 00:05:36.310 --> 00:05:39.970 is, because literally I completely forgot that 00:05:39.970 --> 00:05:44.029 it was Rennie Harlan that directed this. And 00:05:44.029 --> 00:05:46.970 I know Renny's name from other films because 00:05:46.970 --> 00:05:50.290 I've seen other things that he has done. Like 00:05:50.290 --> 00:05:53.550 A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 4, The Dream Master. 00:05:53.790 --> 00:05:55.949 That came out in 88. That came out the same year 00:05:55.949 --> 00:05:58.610 that Die Hard, the original Die Hard movie came 00:05:58.610 --> 00:06:02.870 out. He directed Cutthroat Island in 1995. That 00:06:02.870 --> 00:06:08.709 was the adventure swashbuckling film with... 00:06:08.709 --> 00:06:13.680 That was the... the pirate type film that came 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.860 out in 95. He directed another one that I actually 00:06:16.860 --> 00:06:19.699 will be covering here on the podcast with somebody 00:06:19.699 --> 00:06:21.779 in the future. Cause I actually love this film. 00:06:22.100 --> 00:06:25.480 It was actually, it'll be covered next year here 00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:27.660 on the podcast. Cause it'll be its 30th anniversary. 00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.220 The long kiss. Good night. It's an American action 00:06:31.220 --> 00:06:37.720 thriller film with Samuel Jackson. It's a, it's 00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:40.240 a Shane black film. If anyone remembers Shane 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.360 Black's name, Lethal Weapon, other things. It 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:48.540 stars Geena Davis, Samuel L. Jackson, and others. 00:06:48.819 --> 00:06:52.800 He did not direct Blast from the Past with Brendan 00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:55.680 Fraser and Alicia Silverstone, but he worked 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.420 on that movie. He directed the Sly Stallone race 00:06:59.420 --> 00:07:05.899 car movie Driven in 2001. I have no frame of 00:07:05.899 --> 00:07:09.550 reference for that. Really? Yeah, I've never 00:07:09.550 --> 00:07:14.649 seen that. You've never seen Driven? No. Man. 00:07:15.550 --> 00:07:18.370 It came out basically the same year as Fast and 00:07:18.370 --> 00:07:21.949 the Furious, except it didn't take off. Driven 00:07:21.949 --> 00:07:24.750 is one of those movies where it's literally meant 00:07:24.750 --> 00:07:27.670 to be a single movie, whereas the Fast and the 00:07:27.670 --> 00:07:31.670 Furious took off and became its own multi -billion 00:07:31.670 --> 00:07:34.519 dollar franchise that ended up... putting cars 00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:37.600 in space. Driven took the other path where Fast 00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:43.079 and the Furious is NASCAR type race car stuff. 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.160 Driven is basically the Indianapolis 500 type 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:55.860 cars. But yeah, I'll show you a trailer for Driven 00:07:55.860 --> 00:08:00.439 later. He did the WWE film with John Cena, 12 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:05.660 rounds. So there's that. uh but yeah i mean and 00:08:05.660 --> 00:08:08.759 that's the thing like he's done all these films 00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:11.680 and i'm trying to see what he's done recently 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:16.100 that you would know like like yeah like he's 00:08:16.100 --> 00:08:20.420 one of those directors that is not he's a very 00:08:20.420 --> 00:08:25.100 niche director he's not a michael bay like literally 00:08:25.100 --> 00:08:27.639 nightmare on elm street part four is probably 00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:30.560 in die hard 2 or probably the only two in cliffhanger 00:08:31.209 --> 00:08:35.509 from 93 cliffhanger was a, uh, another Stallone 00:08:35.509 --> 00:08:38.509 film that you might remember also had, uh, John 00:08:38.509 --> 00:08:42.470 Lithgow and Michael Rooker in it. Um, but yeah, 00:08:42.590 --> 00:08:47.330 I mean, he's a very niche director for, for what, 00:08:47.370 --> 00:08:50.070 uh, for what he's done, but I mean, Hey, die 00:08:50.070 --> 00:08:54.570 hard too, right? Just the facts, man. Just the 00:08:54.570 --> 00:08:58.070 facts. Yeah. I mean, it, It wasn't bad. I mean, 00:08:58.070 --> 00:09:01.169 I actually had a totally different thought of 00:09:01.169 --> 00:09:04.009 it after I watched it again. Okay. All right. 00:09:04.049 --> 00:09:07.049 Well, the differences in the cast for this one 00:09:07.049 --> 00:09:13.269 compared to the first one pretty much is it basically 00:09:13.269 --> 00:09:16.110 comes in the villain. So you have the heroes 00:09:16.110 --> 00:09:21.490 of Bruce Willis as this time the LAPD Lieutenant 00:09:21.490 --> 00:09:25.289 Detective John McClane. So he went out to LA. 00:09:25.429 --> 00:09:30.309 I was shocked. I did not think that the story 00:09:30.309 --> 00:09:34.289 was going to move him out to LA. Cause again, 00:09:34.370 --> 00:09:38.190 I did not remember this cause for me, die hard. 00:09:38.330 --> 00:09:40.929 The franchise goes from the first film to the 00:09:40.929 --> 00:09:42.629 third film. And in the third film, he's back 00:09:42.629 --> 00:09:47.409 in New York. So, you know, uh, it has his wife, 00:09:47.470 --> 00:09:51.649 Holly. It has, uh, Richard Thornburg, AKA Dickie 00:09:51.649 --> 00:09:54.610 Thornburg. So William Atherton's in this. It 00:09:54.610 --> 00:10:00.559 has a, Sort of, he's on screen, but it's more 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.740 of like a phone call, phone -in appearance by 00:10:03.740 --> 00:10:06.720 Reginald L. Johnson as LAPD Sergeant Al Powell. 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:12.659 So at least Al is here. And then that's it. Everybody 00:10:12.659 --> 00:10:16.840 else is pretty much all new villains, all new 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:21.480 side characters. You've got Tom Bauer as Marvin, 00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:26.220 who basically stands in for... Argyle because 00:10:26.220 --> 00:10:28.960 Marvin is essentially the Argyle of this and 00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:34.940 you get Art Evans as Leslie Barnes who is the 00:10:34.940 --> 00:10:39.440 airport chief engineer who is also it's kind 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:42.080 of again it's kind of like they took one role 00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.779 and split it into two they kind of took Argyle 00:10:44.779 --> 00:10:50.059 and made it the Marvin character and the engineer 00:10:50.059 --> 00:10:56.039 character so John could have two different sides 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:59.220 of whatever character, two different types of 00:10:59.220 --> 00:11:02.600 whatever character. And then you got Fred Dalton 00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:06.399 Thompson as Ed Trudeau, who is the air traffic 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:12.259 flight director. Fred Dalton Thompson, very well 00:11:12.259 --> 00:11:17.259 known. He was Arthur Branch, the lead DA, the 00:11:17.259 --> 00:11:20.820 head district attorney on Law & Order for many, 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.009 many years. Very, very awesome. And of course, 00:11:24.029 --> 00:11:28.149 we have Dennis Franz as airport police captain 00:11:28.149 --> 00:11:33.330 Carmine Lorenzo. This is just a few, again, these 00:11:33.330 --> 00:11:36.850 movies, Die Hard and Die Hard 2 and other things, 00:11:36.970 --> 00:11:46.710 it's just a few years before he would hit NYPD 00:11:46.710 --> 00:11:55.580 Blue. Because then, oh, no. Yeah, no, it is. 00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:58.960 NYPD Blue, he played Detective Sergeant Andy 00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:05.139 Sipowitz from 93 to 2005. So imagine the Carmine 00:12:05.139 --> 00:12:09.019 Falcone character, except he's on TV every week 00:12:09.019 --> 00:12:12.700 and he shows his ass at least once a season. 00:12:13.179 --> 00:12:18.980 Meh. Well, okay, but I'm saying, like... He doesn't 00:12:18.980 --> 00:12:21.659 show it once a season, but it was a big thing 00:12:21.659 --> 00:12:26.220 for ABC in the 90s that Dennis Franz showed his 00:12:26.220 --> 00:12:30.500 ass on television, literally. Because you know 00:12:30.500 --> 00:12:35.840 how the big three are in ratings and censorship 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:38.179 and blah, blah, blah, especially in the 90s. 00:12:38.179 --> 00:12:43.100 You didn't show your ass on regular TV. That 00:12:43.100 --> 00:12:50.649 was unheard of. Oh, my God. Like I said last 00:12:50.649 --> 00:12:55.870 episode, the cast of Die Hard really isn't stacked. 00:12:56.690 --> 00:13:01.190 It's a good cast. I said then, and I'll say now. 00:13:01.570 --> 00:13:04.090 When I say it isn't stacked, I don't mean that 00:13:04.090 --> 00:13:07.070 it isn't a good cast. I'm saying they didn't 00:13:07.070 --> 00:13:10.389 throw everything in the kitchen sink into that 00:13:10.389 --> 00:13:15.500 cast. This movie, the sequel? They threw in a 00:13:15.500 --> 00:13:19.720 bunch of people, not only in the starring roles 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:23.279 for the main characters that you see in the movie, 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:28.340 but even in the roles that you barely see. Like, 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.639 you got John Leguizamo as one of the additional 00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:36.399 cast member terrorist people. You also have, 00:13:36.500 --> 00:13:39.779 which, I mean, you can't not notice this guy. 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:42.559 coming up because this was a couple of years 00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:46.460 before his sunglasses cop routine you got robert 00:13:46.460 --> 00:13:50.019 patrick in the you got the t -1000 in this movie 00:13:50.019 --> 00:13:55.759 like how do you not notice that especially now 00:13:55.759 --> 00:14:01.679 in 2025 going back all these years later i picked 00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:04.039 him out of the lineup like within two seconds 00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:08.279 so i was like hey it was funny seeing some of 00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:10.559 the some of the people that you've seen other 00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:14.000 stuff but absolutely all right so you said that 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:17.379 you had you you said you came away with a different 00:14:17.379 --> 00:14:19.519 feeling or a different whatever so what are your 00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:24.159 overall thoughts on die hard to die harder sir 00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:31.679 excuse me you and faxes Yeah, well, Holly told 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:34.360 me I should wake up and smell the 90s. Honestly, 00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:37.940 I hated this film to begin with because I'd never 00:14:37.940 --> 00:14:40.759 watched it all the way through. I'd seen the 00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:43.320 end and I found the beginning and the early parts 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:45.340 of the movie all the way through halfway to be 00:14:45.340 --> 00:14:48.500 extremely boring when I watched it the first 00:14:48.500 --> 00:14:52.139 time around. And I don't know why. I think it 00:14:52.139 --> 00:14:55.639 was because I saw a diehard one and then I saw 00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:59.429 a diehard three. Yeah. And then I was watching 00:14:59.429 --> 00:15:01.330 Die Hard 2 and I'm like, eh, this kind of sucks. 00:15:01.490 --> 00:15:04.409 And I mean, going back and rewatching it, like 00:15:04.409 --> 00:15:08.509 them back to back to back, like in order. Yeah. 00:15:08.690 --> 00:15:11.730 I've completely changed my tune. Like, yes, this 00:15:11.730 --> 00:15:15.190 one takes place, you know, in that same season. 00:15:15.690 --> 00:15:18.769 Yeah. But it's not in a tower. It's in a plane. 00:15:18.970 --> 00:15:21.110 It's, you know, he's doing all kinds of crazy 00:15:21.110 --> 00:15:24.690 stuff. I did feel like they umped up the ante 00:15:24.690 --> 00:15:27.190 as far as all of the things that they had him 00:15:27.190 --> 00:15:32.259 doing. It was getting more action oriented. Yes, 00:15:32.259 --> 00:15:36.399 yes, yes. Not that it was bad, but part of it 00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:40.019 was unbelievable in a lot of it. The first one 00:15:40.019 --> 00:15:42.379 was more believable, more grounded, more like 00:15:42.379 --> 00:15:45.340 you felt for the character. You saw him getting... 00:15:45.340 --> 00:15:48.539 He had to step on shards of glass. He's scooting 00:15:48.539 --> 00:15:51.299 across the floor. He's getting all these other 00:15:51.299 --> 00:15:54.259 perilous things happening that he's just like, 00:15:54.340 --> 00:15:57.960 I'm terrified. This sucks. just happenstance 00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:02.220 of situation this one it was more like i noticed 00:16:02.220 --> 00:16:03.960 something wrong i'm gonna go take care of it 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:08.799 yep uh rather than you know anything else like 00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:11.100 it was kind of like yeah he was in the wrong 00:16:11.100 --> 00:16:12.759 place at the wrong time kind of like he is with 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:15.779 all the films but it not that i disliked the 00:16:15.779 --> 00:16:19.259 film but i did i it started a slippery slope 00:16:19.259 --> 00:16:25.720 with this film where everything got more uh more 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:29.179 involved more dangerous more you know you know 00:16:29.179 --> 00:16:32.120 the stunts starting to get more unbelievable 00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:36.799 like this one yeah it it was more believable 00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:41.279 than like say diehard four and five but but no 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:43.159 i mean i i enjoyed it i liked the villains i 00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:44.519 liked how they kind of played everything out 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:46.799 i liked you know his role and he was telling 00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:48.820 everybody to you know shove off and he's doing 00:16:48.820 --> 00:16:52.169 his own thing yeah i mean it I enjoyed it for 00:16:52.169 --> 00:16:54.750 what it was this time around. I had those couple 00:16:54.750 --> 00:16:57.049 of nitpicks, but it really didn't like I watched 00:16:57.049 --> 00:16:59.470 it all the way through. There was nothing that 00:16:59.470 --> 00:17:04.049 I disliked or hated. Yeah. And I mean, yeah, 00:17:04.150 --> 00:17:07.609 the end where he ups and lights the plane on 00:17:07.609 --> 00:17:11.890 fire, you know, because he punctured it. Yeah. 00:17:12.670 --> 00:17:15.210 And, you know, lights it on fire on the ground 00:17:15.210 --> 00:17:17.009 and then it shoots up into the plane engine. 00:17:17.250 --> 00:17:20.400 Yeah. Was quite funny. So, I mean. Yeah, I mean, 00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:22.740 there were moments where it's unbelievable, but 00:17:22.740 --> 00:17:28.220 it evolved very quickly from what it was in Die 00:17:28.220 --> 00:17:32.119 Hard 1 to your standard Arnold Schwarzenegger, 00:17:32.220 --> 00:17:36.680 Stallone film. Yeah. So it kind of took itself 00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:39.039 away from itself, whereas Beverly Hills Cop, 00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:41.980 for instance, stayed pretty grounded in what 00:17:41.980 --> 00:17:49.190 it was. Yeah, so... By comparison. Right, but 00:17:49.190 --> 00:17:52.789 the difference is between Beverly Hills Cop 1 00:17:52.789 --> 00:18:02.230 and 2 and Die Hard 1 and 2 Axel is in real life 00:18:02.230 --> 00:18:09.349 Axel isn't contained in either film. Axel isn't 00:18:09.349 --> 00:18:15.440 in a that's the difference. In Die Hard McClane 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:21.019 is in a contained situation. He is in that building. 00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:24.720 He's not leaving that building. That's the big 00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:27.839 difference. That's the unique difference with 00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:31.720 Die Hard. He's trapped in a building. He can't 00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:37.299 get out. He can't leave. He only has the one 00:18:37.299 --> 00:18:44.420 communication thing with Al downstairs. uh uh 00:18:44.420 --> 00:18:48.259 principal vernon from the breakfast club there 00:18:48.259 --> 00:18:51.700 uh may the man rest in peace he's been gone a 00:18:51.700 --> 00:18:56.500 long time but uh paul gleason uh deputy who is 00:18:56.500 --> 00:18:59.420 this deputy duane robinson or whatever his name 00:18:59.420 --> 00:19:02.380 is and in the movie so that's the that's the 00:19:02.380 --> 00:19:04.920 unique difference with the original diehard movie 00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:08.960 from 1988 is that that film intentionally the 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:12.640 story is He's trapped in a building. He's a, 00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:14.920 he's a, he's a New York city cop trapped in an 00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:19.039 LA high rise with all these people at this Christmas 00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:22.240 party and all the other diehard movies, or at 00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.400 least one through three or two, three and four. 00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.980 Cause I, I five at this point, folks in the recordings, 00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:34.079 I don't give two shits about diehard five. I 00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:36.279 don't care about going to see mother Russia and 00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:39.460 his kid. I just don't care at this point. because 00:19:39.460 --> 00:19:42.119 I haven't seen it, and I probably will change 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:46.240 my mind when I see it. But because I've seen 00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:53.640 this movie and Vengeance and Live Free, what 00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:56.279 I'll say is with this movie is that, yeah, you're 00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:59.279 right, absolutely, 100%. They got a chance to 00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:02.000 up the ante for John and for the rest of the 00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:05.579 plot, and I know it's based on whichever of the... 00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:08.099 the the second book and i know there's notes 00:20:08.099 --> 00:20:10.660 here in in wikipedia that say the differences 00:20:10.660 --> 00:20:13.539 like originally in the book it was his daughter 00:20:13.539 --> 00:20:16.160 that was on the plane or something or other whatever 00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:20.319 okay fine they they changed a couple of lie but 00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:25.079 again they they changed the plot to fit the film 00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:28.240 like it makes no sense to make a die hard to 00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:32.500 die harder and have it be lucy who is probably 00:20:32.500 --> 00:20:36.119 what the thing it like What I wish, I'm assuming 00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:40.059 it's the next Christmas after the first one. 00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:44.339 Like it's the following Christmas after 1988. 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:48.740 So it makes more sense that it's his wife on 00:20:48.740 --> 00:20:51.960 the plane, not his nine -year -old, 10 -year 00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:56.940 -old daughter. Of course, so that change from 00:20:56.940 --> 00:21:00.460 the book is going to make sense. This one, it's 00:21:00.460 --> 00:21:04.000 not just... And Hans said it himself. Who said 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:06.559 we're terrorists? They're bank robbers. They're 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:09.200 money grabbers. They're people who want the money. 00:21:09.539 --> 00:21:12.140 Like, they're just people who want the money. 00:21:12.299 --> 00:21:14.599 Like, they're common criminals. At the end of 00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:16.240 the day, they're common friggin' criminals in 00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:19.759 the first movie. Like, are they dangerous common 00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:23.039 criminals? Absolutely. Fuck yes, they are. Look 00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:25.819 at all the people they killed. You know? I mean, 00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:28.680 not trying to take away from the fact that they're 00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:31.970 dangerous people. But no one ever said that Hans 00:21:31.970 --> 00:21:34.609 Gruber and his people were terrorists. I mean, 00:21:34.650 --> 00:21:36.829 they called like they didn't call themselves 00:21:36.829 --> 00:21:39.390 terrorists. Other people in the movie called 00:21:39.390 --> 00:21:42.049 them terrorists. These people here in this movie, 00:21:42.190 --> 00:21:46.009 oh, they're terrorists. So that's the difference. 00:21:46.750 --> 00:21:49.470 That's the huge difference. Like these people 00:21:49.470 --> 00:21:53.430 are from this liberation front. And like when 00:21:53.430 --> 00:21:56.450 Hans is listing off the people he wants released 00:21:56.450 --> 00:21:59.279 in the first movie, because. Forgive me, folks. 00:21:59.380 --> 00:22:03.099 I literally, as of this recording, like 12 and 00:22:03.099 --> 00:22:05.779 a half hours ago, just finished editing the first 00:22:05.779 --> 00:22:08.920 episode of this series. So literally like New 00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:12.119 Asian Dawn and Liberation, whatever the list 00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:17.779 Hans gave to Deputy Dwayne there. Paul Gleeson, 00:22:17.779 --> 00:22:20.660 may the man rest in peace, I say again. I have 00:22:20.660 --> 00:22:24.480 that thought in my head. So these are the people 00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:27.039 that he was trying to free. Or that he said he 00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:30.359 wanted to free. These are the terrorists. And 00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:33.759 these are the people that are taking over the 00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:37.859 Dulles Airport here. So, yeah, this is bigger. 00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:43.019 This is more stakes. And this is a wider... This 00:22:43.019 --> 00:22:50.259 isn't John McClane trapped in a 30th floor. A 00:22:50.259 --> 00:22:53.859 35 -story building. This is John McClane out 00:22:53.859 --> 00:22:56.279 in the open. This is John McClane out in the 00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:04.420 middle of Michigan, folks. I'm not kidding. I 00:23:04.420 --> 00:23:07.480 know this film was shot in Michigan. A lot of 00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:13.079 it. So I scrolled down because originally the 00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:17.839 scenes from Dulles were the snow scenes were 00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:21.369 supposed to be shot in Denver. but filming was 00:23:21.369 --> 00:23:25.210 scrapped due to warm weather. I wonder. It does 00:23:25.210 --> 00:23:28.170 happen here a lot. I know, I know, I know. So 00:23:28.170 --> 00:23:31.549 some outdoor scenes were filmed in Alpena, Michigan, 00:23:31.670 --> 00:23:35.029 while others needing to accommodate the landing 00:23:35.029 --> 00:23:39.269 of the 747 with snow were filmed at former Kitchenlow 00:23:39.269 --> 00:23:45.269 Air Force Base in Kitchenlow, Michigan, while 00:23:45.269 --> 00:23:47.609 other scenes were filmed on a soundstage in Los 00:23:47.609 --> 00:23:51.769 Angeles using fake snow. So that's how they accomplished 00:23:51.769 --> 00:23:55.809 all of the background stuff for the snow stuff, 00:23:55.930 --> 00:24:00.549 folks, here in Die Hard 2. I still like this 00:24:00.549 --> 00:24:06.210 movie. Again, it's not... Like I said in the 00:24:06.210 --> 00:24:09.869 last episode, the Die Hard movies for me are... 00:24:09.869 --> 00:24:15.470 Watch them every now and then. they're not comfort 00:24:15.470 --> 00:24:18.769 watches for me. They're not like, Oh my God, 00:24:18.769 --> 00:24:21.650 I must. They're not. Oh my God. I must watch 00:24:21.650 --> 00:24:24.190 that. They're not even background noise. Like 00:24:24.190 --> 00:24:26.849 I can't put any of these movies on for background 00:24:26.849 --> 00:24:30.849 noise. Like do, do these, a lot of these lines 00:24:30.849 --> 00:24:34.549 live rent free in my head. Absolutely. Obviously. 00:24:34.569 --> 00:24:36.750 I mean, we say yippee -ki -yay motherfucker. 00:24:37.009 --> 00:24:41.329 Like it's, you know, second nature, but yippee 00:24:41.329 --> 00:24:47.180 -ki -yay, Mr. Falcon. going back and re -watching 00:24:47.180 --> 00:24:50.119 every time i re -watch the second film i enjoy 00:24:50.119 --> 00:24:53.700 it because of the characters because of the plot 00:24:53.700 --> 00:24:58.339 and the plot is it is what it is it's a it's 00:24:58.339 --> 00:25:01.380 a terrorist general trying to get himself free 00:25:01.380 --> 00:25:04.880 it's the terrorists trying to take over whatever 00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:10.119 it is what it is What got me this time, though, 00:25:10.259 --> 00:25:15.500 was I had forgotten that Grant's team was in 00:25:15.500 --> 00:25:22.339 on it with the terrorists. Grant is John Amos 00:25:22.339 --> 00:25:25.680 is the black guy. The special forces team that 00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:28.660 comes in tries to take over. They are in on it 00:25:28.660 --> 00:25:31.000 with the terrorists because what gets me is apparently 00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:33.839 they have a new guy that joined them. And apparently 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:36.339 the new guy doesn't know that they are actually 00:25:36.339 --> 00:25:40.309 bad guys. And Grant, in the truck, just immediately 00:25:40.309 --> 00:25:43.170 kills the new guy. And all the other guys are 00:25:43.170 --> 00:25:47.829 like, eh, okay. So, yeah. Die Hard. I mean, this 00:25:47.829 --> 00:25:50.650 is... What else did I write down in my notes 00:25:50.650 --> 00:25:53.410 here for this one? This one is more of gets at 00:25:53.410 --> 00:25:58.210 a fucking point than the mysterious mystery of 00:25:58.210 --> 00:26:02.309 who is doing what to whom. We get introductions, 00:26:02.410 --> 00:26:04.990 but not like the first film for the bad guys. 00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:09.059 We see who the bad guys are, but we don't get... 00:26:09.059 --> 00:26:12.759 These villains are not talking villains. The 00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:14.799 way we get introduced to the first villain, we 00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:18.839 see his ass. If Die Hard 2 Die Harder was made 00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:21.099 in 2025, we would not have seen that villain's 00:26:21.099 --> 00:26:23.960 ass. I guarantee it. Even if it was a rated R 00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:27.920 movie. Let's see. We know John and Holly. Great. 00:26:28.099 --> 00:26:31.579 But then the rest, it's a mystery. But not edge 00:26:31.579 --> 00:26:34.759 of your seat mysterious. Easiest way to tell 00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:40.069 that the... that the special forces guys are 00:26:40.069 --> 00:26:44.009 on the bad guys team? Blue for blanks, red for 00:26:44.009 --> 00:26:47.190 real bullets because they had the same tape on 00:26:47.190 --> 00:26:52.250 their guns. I've known that for, what was it, 00:26:52.309 --> 00:26:57.109 30 years? How long ago was that? Funny, it's 00:26:57.109 --> 00:26:58.990 almost like red laser, blue laser from G .I. 00:26:59.009 --> 00:27:02.369 Joe. Pretty much, yeah. I've known that. Oh, 00:27:03.390 --> 00:27:09.710 well. Happy 35th anniversary, Die Hard 2. 35 00:27:09.710 --> 00:27:12.589 years ago is when this movie came out. I forgot 00:27:12.589 --> 00:27:14.869 that this was the 35th anniversary of this film. 00:27:14.970 --> 00:27:18.609 But yeah, for 35 years I've known red tape, blue 00:27:18.609 --> 00:27:22.710 tape, blue blanks, red blanks thing. And then 00:27:22.710 --> 00:27:25.089 I remember mentioning in the last episode about 00:27:25.089 --> 00:27:27.730 some rocket launcher. And it wasn't a freaking 00:27:27.730 --> 00:27:29.789 rocket launcher. You already mentioned it. But 00:27:29.789 --> 00:27:35.319 what happens is when John... Gets airlifted by 00:27:35.319 --> 00:27:39.039 the news crew, by the news lady and her crew. 00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:42.640 And he jumps onto the wing and he puts his coat 00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:48.059 into the aileron. He fights off, which I think 00:27:48.059 --> 00:27:49.980 is absolutely hilarious. He fights off Grant 00:27:49.980 --> 00:27:52.180 and Grant ends up going through the jet engine 00:27:52.180 --> 00:27:57.160 to die. I know, but the way that he did it. Yeah. 00:27:57.380 --> 00:28:01.500 He was like, I don't need any more friends. He's 00:28:01.500 --> 00:28:04.079 like, I'm sick of you. And then he kicks him. 00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:07.119 And then I was like, I'm just getting flashbacks 00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:11.880 of when Captain Kirk kicked Christopher Lloyd 00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.819 off the mountain into the planet that was eating 00:28:15.819 --> 00:28:19.799 itself in Star Trek 3. And he's like, I have 00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:22.859 had enough of you and kicks him in the face and 00:28:22.859 --> 00:28:25.039 he falls down into the pit. And I was seeing 00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:27.869 that when I saw John McClane kicking Grant. Uh, 00:28:28.069 --> 00:28:30.470 as he got sucked backwards and into the grinder. 00:28:31.450 --> 00:28:41.890 Yeah. So we get that. And then we, we get, uh, 00:28:42.049 --> 00:28:44.930 him fighting up against, uh, the, the other, 00:28:44.970 --> 00:28:49.150 not the general, but the other, is it not as 00:28:49.150 --> 00:28:51.789 Esperanza is the general, the other dude, the 00:28:51.789 --> 00:28:54.049 Nate, the formerly naked dude from the beginning 00:28:54.049 --> 00:28:59.279 of the movie. and he ends up not really kicking 00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:01.339 his butt. He gets his butt kicked, and he gets 00:29:01.339 --> 00:29:04.420 his butt kicked off the plane. But in the midst 00:29:04.420 --> 00:29:09.559 of this fight, the fuel flap, he was in the middle 00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:14.380 of opening the fuel flap to get the fuel to come 00:29:14.380 --> 00:29:17.559 out of the plane. So that's what it is. So when 00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:20.619 the second guy comes out after they kill the 00:29:20.619 --> 00:29:25.009 black guy, after they kill Grant, uh john is 00:29:25.009 --> 00:29:28.049 on the edge there trying to open that fuel flap 00:29:28.049 --> 00:29:32.109 the fuel flap is open the fuel is splitting it 00:29:32.109 --> 00:29:36.009 is is spilling out he gets kicked off the plane 00:29:36.009 --> 00:29:40.069 and that's where we get the lighter and yippee 00:29:40.069 --> 00:29:43.710 -ki -yay mr falcon yippee -ki -yay mr falcon 00:29:43.710 --> 00:29:48.170 yippee -ki -yay And that's how the plane blows 00:29:48.170 --> 00:29:51.029 up is the fire trail. But that also leads into 00:29:51.029 --> 00:29:53.329 the plot point of because there are no runway 00:29:53.329 --> 00:29:56.509 lights, the planes who have been circling and 00:29:56.509 --> 00:29:59.230 have no fuel because they've been held hostage 00:29:59.230 --> 00:30:02.430 up in the air. And they can't see the runway. 00:30:02.690 --> 00:30:05.269 Right, because there's no lights. Well, now they're 00:30:05.269 --> 00:30:07.309 going to use the fire to come in. And the first 00:30:07.309 --> 00:30:11.099 plane to land, obviously, is Holly's plane. And 00:30:11.099 --> 00:30:15.779 a subplot point for this is Holly, along with 00:30:15.779 --> 00:30:20.799 Mr. Thornburg, are on the same flight. Which 00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:23.319 was funny. He's like, keep her away from me. 00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:25.640 I've got a restraining order. What did you do 00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:28.539 to him? I punched his lights out. And then she's 00:30:28.539 --> 00:30:31.859 like, you want a drink? Yeah, exactly. Yeah. 00:30:31.960 --> 00:30:36.359 And then. Holly, later in the movie, by the end 00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:38.559 of the movie, hears him broadcasting the whole 00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:41.460 thing, hears him broadcasting the recording that 00:30:41.460 --> 00:30:49.579 he stole, and hears him playing the recording 00:30:49.579 --> 00:30:57.599 that he stole, the broadcast of the other character. 00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:04.170 Leslie, what's Leslie's name? Art Evans' character, 00:31:04.430 --> 00:31:07.490 Barnes, I remember his first name, not his last 00:31:07.490 --> 00:31:11.069 name. Barnes is, when he's talking about using 00:31:11.069 --> 00:31:16.250 the beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, instead of 00:31:16.250 --> 00:31:18.849 using it as a beeping beacon, he uses it as a 00:31:18.849 --> 00:31:25.109 beeping beacon. So Thornburg is transmitting 00:31:25.109 --> 00:31:28.289 that to the TV reporters. She takes the old lady's 00:31:28.289 --> 00:31:31.950 stun gun and basically just stuns Thornburg in 00:31:31.950 --> 00:31:38.460 the bathroom. In the airplane lavatory. So that's 00:31:38.460 --> 00:31:40.839 the end of Mr. Thornburg. And that's the last 00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:47.339 we see of Mr. Thornburg. And Holly. Yeah, technically, 00:31:47.579 --> 00:31:52.240 yeah. I mean, we do kind of... We get to hear 00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:55.539 that something happened in the third movie, but... 00:31:55.539 --> 00:31:58.180 They separated or whatever, and she's calling 00:31:58.180 --> 00:32:01.579 on the phone. Yeah, yeah, but there's nothing 00:32:01.579 --> 00:32:06.140 more. Um, and then I forget what happens in the, 00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:08.359 if anything is said in the fourth movie about 00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:11.000 her, but by the fourth movie, Lucy's all grown 00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:13.279 up and who the hell knows where Jack, Oh, Jack's 00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:16.200 probably still in mother Russia. Yeah. Yeah. 00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:22.400 So, but no diehard too. I really, I really enjoyed 00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:24.660 this. I've only seen this movie a handful of 00:32:24.660 --> 00:32:31.809 times over the years, but it was damn good. It's 00:32:31.809 --> 00:32:39.230 definitely, having seen all five now, it's definitely 00:32:39.230 --> 00:32:45.369 on par with the third one. Yeah. Although, I 00:32:45.369 --> 00:32:48.269 don't know, maybe the third one's less so than... 00:32:48.269 --> 00:32:55.049 Like, I'm torn because the first one's the first 00:32:55.049 --> 00:32:57.369 one. Like, it's number one. And then I'm tied 00:32:57.369 --> 00:33:00.960 for second with the third and the second. and 00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:04.099 then i would put the fourth you know at tied 00:33:04.099 --> 00:33:06.200 for third if you know for whatever one falls 00:33:06.200 --> 00:33:09.339 off the second and then the fifth is still the 00:33:09.339 --> 00:33:13.019 fifth yeah the fifth is always gonna and i know 00:33:13.019 --> 00:33:15.359 i i should not say this yet because i have not 00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:18.420 seen it but i'm just gonna say the fifth is always 00:33:18.420 --> 00:33:20.619 gonna come in last place because the fifth should 00:33:20.619 --> 00:33:22.720 have never been made i mean even if you go to 00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:26.900 like imdb the the ratings the the first one has 00:33:26.900 --> 00:33:30.589 an 8 .2 this one has a 7 .1 The third one has 00:33:30.589 --> 00:33:34.710 a 7 .6. The fourth one has 7 .1 and the fifth 00:33:34.710 --> 00:33:38.829 one has 5 .2. I don't know. This film was not 00:33:38.829 --> 00:33:41.829 too bad, though. I did like, again, that Colonel 00:33:41.829 --> 00:33:44.509 Stewart, you know, he was a really good villain. 00:33:45.130 --> 00:33:48.650 You know, kind of not over the top, but not horrible. 00:33:49.049 --> 00:33:53.390 Yeah, he had a mission and they kept thinking 00:33:53.390 --> 00:33:57.109 that they took out McClane. Lo and behold, here 00:33:57.109 --> 00:33:59.690 he is again. Here he is again. Which seems to 00:33:59.690 --> 00:34:02.809 be the shtick for all of these is like, oh, we 00:34:02.809 --> 00:34:05.130 killed him. No, we didn't. No, you didn't. Oh, 00:34:05.230 --> 00:34:07.490 we killed him. Is there a body? No, there's not. 00:34:07.609 --> 00:34:12.750 He's still alive. Yeah. Well, it's like Holly 00:34:12.750 --> 00:34:16.710 says. Is it in this one or the other one? I think 00:34:16.710 --> 00:34:18.150 it's the first one. She might say it in this 00:34:18.150 --> 00:34:20.969 one, too. He's still alive because only John 00:34:20.969 --> 00:34:24.969 can make a man that mad. Or whatever it is. There's 00:34:24.969 --> 00:34:26.809 some lines she has in one of the first two movies. 00:34:26.809 --> 00:34:29.070 Yeah, only John can make someone that mad. Yeah, 00:34:29.070 --> 00:34:33.570 yeah, yeah. Yeah, so he's still alive. So, yeah. 00:34:33.750 --> 00:34:37.250 So, yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Really quickly, 00:34:37.309 --> 00:34:40.369 before we do anything else in the script, I did 00:34:40.369 --> 00:34:44.289 want to quickly run down some music stuff just 00:34:44.289 --> 00:34:49.969 because this was, this score was released years 00:34:49.969 --> 00:35:02.940 ago. However, it's not... Diary 2's score was 00:35:02.940 --> 00:35:05.920 not released along with the film. It was published 00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:09.460 by some company on August 31st, 1993, three years 00:35:09.460 --> 00:35:13.000 after the film's release. The accompanying album 00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:15.880 consisted only of 40 minutes of music, part of 00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:20.010 an hour's score being used in the film. And then 00:35:20.010 --> 00:35:23.590 on November 5th, 2012, the same company published 00:35:23.590 --> 00:35:27.429 a two CD deluxe edition, which consisted of the 00:35:27.429 --> 00:35:30.429 complete score and alternate cues, which were 00:35:30.429 --> 00:35:34.530 not used in the score. That was in 2012. So Die 00:35:34.530 --> 00:35:39.110 Hard 2, All In Records, get on it. Come on, Matt. 00:35:39.269 --> 00:35:42.929 Come on, Michael. You guys, you got to get on 00:35:42.929 --> 00:35:46.190 Die Hard 2. Die harder because I know you guys, 00:35:46.210 --> 00:35:49.619 even though it's sold out. You guys did the 30th 00:35:49.619 --> 00:35:53.519 anniversary remastered limited edition 3CD set 00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:58.239 of Die Hard because I have it in my closet. This 00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:02.079 has... I forgot to bring it last time with the 00:36:02.079 --> 00:36:05.800 Die Hard episode. Three discs, 40 minutes total. 00:36:07.139 --> 00:36:12.619 Actually, no. 182 minutes and 44 seconds total. 00:36:14.090 --> 00:36:17.429 Has previously unreleased music, has previously 00:36:17.429 --> 00:36:24.409 unreleased material, includes Christmas in Hollis 00:36:24.409 --> 00:36:28.989 by Run DMC and a bunch of other stuff. I could 00:36:28.989 --> 00:36:32.409 not stop listening to this when I got this from 00:36:32.409 --> 00:36:36.309 them years ago. I love that three CD set from 00:36:36.309 --> 00:36:40.900 Die Hard, but they also have... Die Hard with 00:36:40.900 --> 00:36:43.420 a Vengeance, and that is still available for 00:36:43.420 --> 00:36:46.840 purchase. It is still... Oh, no, it is sold out. 00:36:46.900 --> 00:36:49.260 I'm so sorry. It was a two -CD set, but it is 00:36:49.260 --> 00:36:52.820 also sold out. I thought I had that one. I have 00:36:52.820 --> 00:36:57.000 to go look in my closet again, I guess. But this 00:36:57.000 --> 00:37:02.119 one has... If I can pull the information up. 00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:07.739 It is, like I said, two -disc set. I'm trying 00:37:07.739 --> 00:37:11.510 to see the things. specific to the Sun. It does 00:37:11.510 --> 00:37:14.409 have some previous land release material, and 00:37:14.409 --> 00:37:19.489 then contains unreleased music. Yeah, no, there's 00:37:19.489 --> 00:37:22.230 nothing. I mean, it's pretty much the full soundtrack 00:37:22.230 --> 00:37:25.150 from With a Vengeance. But yeah, I'm going to 00:37:25.150 --> 00:37:27.269 have to track that down before we do the next 00:37:27.269 --> 00:37:29.230 episode, because I need to listen to me some 00:37:29.230 --> 00:37:33.230 Die Hard With a Vengeance. But yeah, folks, so 00:37:33.230 --> 00:37:38.530 that's that. Getting into our questions here, 00:37:38.650 --> 00:37:41.090 do the film keep your interest throughout? Oh, 00:37:41.090 --> 00:37:45.289 totally. Absolutely. Are we itching to watch 00:37:45.289 --> 00:37:50.389 the next film now? Uh, yeah. Duh. What if we've 00:37:50.389 --> 00:37:55.349 already watched it? Well, you know, some people 00:37:55.349 --> 00:38:00.929 have, some people haven't. Would you recommend 00:38:00.929 --> 00:38:03.809 this film to people? Yeah, actually, I would. 00:38:04.170 --> 00:38:08.070 I will defend this one because it's... Like we 00:38:08.070 --> 00:38:13.190 said, it's not... It's Die Hard, but it's not 00:38:13.190 --> 00:38:16.889 the Die Hard you know. It's the Die Hard characters 00:38:16.889 --> 00:38:22.130 outside of what you think of Die Hard. It's their 00:38:22.130 --> 00:38:25.369 story continuing. It's the further adventures 00:38:25.369 --> 00:38:29.789 of John McClane and his blah, blah, blah. And 00:38:29.789 --> 00:38:35.250 it's not the... high pedestal that we always 00:38:35.250 --> 00:38:37.989 put With a Vengeance on, which it should be on 00:38:37.989 --> 00:38:39.949 that high pedestal. I'm not saying it shouldn't 00:38:39.949 --> 00:38:43.550 be, because With a Vengeance is great. We will 00:38:43.550 --> 00:38:45.989 figure that out next time, obviously.
