Charlie sitting back down when he hears there are still kids in the school is the under appreciated hero of that movie
Yes. We love Charlie.
@merchillio Charlie was badass
Ever seen that Disney Channel show "Jessie"? He plays Bertram the butler.
Emily's "Bitches Leave" shirt is hilarious XD
She giggled so hard at that part in robocop lol.
Red Foreman really killed that role!
She is just really fond of Dutch guys 😁
By far my fav line in Robocop😂😂
Clarence Boddiker is another viallin we all love to hate. Perfect for watching a Die Hard movie.
Great reaction, guys. :) Any way, my solution to the jug riddle:
Fill the 3 gallon jug and empty it into the 5 gallon jug. Fill the 3 gallon jug again and empty as much of it as you can into the 5 gallon jug. The 3 gallon jug now has 1 gallon and the 5 gallon is full. Now empty the 5 gallon jug and pour the 1 gallon from the 3 gallon jug into the 5 gallon jug. Next fill up the 3 gallon jug again and empty it into the 5 gallon jug. The 5 gallon jug now has 4 gallons in it and thus the riddle is solved.
Maybe there's a neater solution but this one worked for me. :)
Yup, another way to do it is to fill the 5 gallon and pour 3 gallons from the 5 into the 3 gallon and empty the 3 gallon, So now the 5 gallons has 2 gallons, which you pour into the 3 gallon, fill up the 5 gallons, and pour 1 gallon into the 3 gallon since it already has 2. Presto 4 gallons. I remember having to do this puzzle in Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic on the Manaan Planet.
You are right
@@johnsteward9137 Ah, nice, yes, although I had to do it twice in my head, it does indeed check out. Thanks. And maybe I should play Knights of the Old Republic someday. :)
Your solution completes in 8 steps the way he explains in the movie completes in 6 steps.
1. Fill the 5 jug
2. pour into 3 jug. This leaves 2 gallons in the 5 jug.
3. Empty 3 jug.
4. pour 2 gal left in 5 jug into 3 jug.. this leaves 1 gallon of empty space in the 3 gallon jug
5. refill the 5 jug.
6. Fill the missing 1 gal in the 3 jug from the 5 jug leaving 4 gal. in the 5 jug.
@@TruthHurts2u This is the quicker way because the other method has 7 steps, This has only 6.
The original film is a classic, but this might be my favorite _Die Hard_ in terms of how fun it is. McClane and Zeus are such a good pair.
McLane: "What does Wall Street have a shitload of?"
Emily: "Assholes."
You made my day...
The chemistry between Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson made this movie the best Die Hard.
Jeremy Irons gave a masterclass in acting in this movie.
British actors make the best bad guys
The chemistry with these 2 were Great!!!
I love how, unlike the first movie, the cops and FBI are not dumb. They all do their jobs well. They just didn't figure it out like John did.
Because they are New York cops, not those hoity-toity LA cops that are dumber than dirt! (with the exception of Sgt. Al Powel of course)
New York vs California meantality. Though, nowadays, NY is just as bad and California.
@@vladyvhv9579lol there is worse than ny
That bomb defuser had nerves of steel. Underrated dude.
And a criminal underuse of Graham Greene.
I still use that "not even God knows what you're doing" line. 😂
One of the greatest sequels of all time, and an incredible thriller in its own right. Can't say enough about this stunner.
There are a couple of solutions to the math-water-jug problem. Here's one:
1 fill the 3, tip it into the 5. the 5 now has 2 gallons of empty space.
2 fill the 3 again.
3 pour from the 3 into the 5. The 5 will accept another 2 gallons, leaving 1 gallon in the 3. You NEED that particular one gallon:
4 dump out ALL liquid from the 5.
5 pour the ONE gallon from the 3 into the 5.
6 fill the 3 gallon jug again. Dump it into the 5. 3 + 1 yields FOUR gallons now in the 5.

The scene with the nervous white cop holding a gun on Zeus, was referenced a few years later in the Disney-Pixar film, "The Incredibles" (2004), where Frozone (also played-voiced by Samuel Jackson) is held at gunpoint by a nervous cop who is racially different from him. In both cases, the character played by Jackson is ethically compelled to disobey an order from the cop to remain still (The hero MUST take action, for the greater good). The scene from 'The Incredibles' is a nice callback to this earlier film.
••••
Unlike in the first two Die Hard films, in this film, law enforcement as a group (in this case, the NYC police) are depicted as both competent, dedicated and extremely brave. I'm glad they did this.
••••
Interestingly, dialogue in this movie specifically mentions Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton by name - years and years before they squared off in 2016.
Another is:
Fail, and watch the kabloomy.
OR fill the 5 and empty it in the 3.
Empty the 3 and empty the remaining 2 from the 5 into the 3.
Now fill the 5 again and pour into the 3 till the 3 is full.
Now the 5 has 4 gallons in it.
Yes you have to be precise. There's no half ways full or 1/3. You have to use the empty space left over in the jugs to get you the 4 gallons
@@MsUltrafox Yes thats how i solved it. Its not a hard riddle, but i have to admit: if i would be under stress and time pressure, like in that scene in the movie, i probably wouldnt be able to solve it in time - i think. With the comfort of the couch at home = no problem ^^
@@MsUltrafoxhh thanx, I was wondering for a while how they ended up with 2 gallons, because I did the 2 full 3 gallons leaves 1 + a full 3 gallons, but I realise how they got 2 gallons so thanx!!? 👍😅
*But for the 2+2 solution of the riddle, wouldn’t you need two 5 gallon jugs*?? 🤷♂️
The youngest little boy that played one of Sam Jacksons nephew's is Aldis Hodge. He's been in Hidden Figures, Jack Reacher 2, Black Adam, Straight Outta Compton and the recent The Invincible Man.
Such a great film, and in my opinion, better than Die Hard 2. The chemistry between the leads, Jeremy Irons performance, the setting that really makes you feel that it's "summer in the city" - everything just works here. Glad you enjoyed it! FYI, If you plan on continuing with this franchise, the next one is decent, but stop after that. You're better off thinking Die Hard 5 doesn't exist, trust me.
Fun Fact: the tunnel sequence was depicting a real construction project that was going on in the mid 90's. AND, that tunnel, tunnel 3, is STILL under construction to this day. lol its not expected to be done until 2032.
I honestly think this is my favorite Die hard. Loved the first one, even liked the second, and actually liked all of the films in different ways, this one went above the rest. just that perfect blend of action and humor. the chemistry between John and Zeus, an amazing villain. and honestly even all the secondary characters were great. I esp loved Charlie sacrificing himself to try to protect the kids.
Also I know some of the underground stuff with the dumptruck was a remote control truck in a model tunnel, but i can't say which scenes were which.
The gold is held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on Liberty Street in Manhattan. My brother worked as a programmer in that building for a while in the 1970s. He told a story of how strict the security was there where one of the other programmers had to go to another floor and took the stairs rather than wait for an elevator. He found the door to the floor he wanted locked as well as every other door until he reached the first floor. When he opened it he was greeted by several guards, each armed with a submachine gun.
This is the best Die Hard film other than the original. A couple of things I love: the whole film actively pulls a reverse Uno on the previous two films - where 1 and 2 had McClane working in unfamiliar territory, going it alone with active resistance from everybody in authority, this one gives him home ground advantage (the thing with the ambulances, etc.), and his boss and colleagues all have his back, listening to him and taking him and his intel seriously; the three Wall Street guys (the one in the cab, the one with the snacks watching the train station cleanup with his co-workers from the office window, and the "Heavens to Betsy" guy) are all different actors, but are all cast and costumed to look identical to one another (balding, wearing the same kind of glasses, etc.); the "Pulp Fiction" reference ("smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo"); the little musical sting of "Singin' in the Rain" as McClane is surfing the dump-truck through the aqueduct; the actor who plays Katya, Simon's knife-wielding psycho girlfriend, who moves with that languid, predatory gait, is the musician Sam Phillips, who wrote the music for "Gilmore Girls" and "The Marvellous Mrs Maisel".
Languid is such a great word & perfectly describes how she moved. 👍
John telling Zeus he should be at home "smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo" is a very subtle Pulp Fiction reference.
It's a song reference that's a lot older than Pulp Fiction. 'Flowers on the Wall' by The Stattler Brothers, 1965.
@@valashar5313 I know it is. Butch is listening to it and singing it in the car when he hits Marcellus in Pulp Fiction.
I still frequently quote Jeremy Irons exclaiming: Somebody had fun! The man knows how to act. And that voice
This was the first Die Hard I ever saw and it's still my favorite. Die Hard and Die Hard with a Vengeance are all I need from the Die Hard series.
Emily "That's one sturdy car."
They're on a mission from God!
It’s really endearing seeing Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson running around NYC having to solve riddles:)
I absolutely love the original Die Hard, but this is my actual favorite.
Also, love those shirts.
You guys really need to watch McTiernan's other classics Predator and The Hunt for Red October(always assuming you haven't already seen them). His remake of The Thomas Crown Affair is worth a watch as well.
I can’t hear “Johnny comes marching home” without thinking of that movie
Always loved the opening of the movie, it gives you the standard wide city shots and than BOOM! Instantly the movie starts instead of giving us that slow character introduction for half a hour that movies do these days.
17:22 "Congrations, you done it" is what I would expect a graduation card from my relatives living in the Appalachian mountains to say.
Willis was actually in Harlem when he wore that billboard, but it was blank. They used CGI to put the words on there to keep from offending anyone in the public.
If I had to guess, them talking about it being frail was because some of the stuff they figured out was a bit of a stretch. Like when Simon asked what 21 out of 42 was and they figured out that it had to do with Presidents. And MccLane figuring out where they was because of a name on the bottom of a bottle of Aspirin. Lucky that Simon decided to purchase that Aspirin right next door to where their drop point was.
Most of the shots in the city were really shot on the streets. I was stuck in traffic at the scene where they thought the bomb was in the trash can. Never realized until I saw the movie and recognized the vehicles in the shot. I was one vehicle behind and didn’t make the cut.
There are two ways to get the four gallons. Can you figure out both? Oh and a magic snap at 32:56. Made the cat disappear.
#1 Fill the 5 gallon jug to full, fill the 3 gallon jug with the water from the 5 gallon jug. Empty out the 3 gallon jug. Pour the last 2 gallons into the 3 gallon jug. Fill the 5 gallon jug and pour one gallon in the 3 gallon jug which already has 2 gallons and you're left with 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug.
#2 Fill the 3 gallon jug and pour it into the 5 gallon jug. Fill the 3 gallon jug again and pour 2 gallons into the 5 gallon jug, you're left with one gallon in the 3 gallon jug. Empty the 5 gallon jug. Pour 1 gallon from the 3 gallon jug into the 5 gallon jug. Fill the 3 gallon jug and pour it into the 5 gallon jug. You're left with 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug.
This one is my favorite movie even though the first is objectively the best. It's the water jug puzzle for me. Don't ask me why; it just resonates with me.
Absolutely love this one! And as a New Yorker, I love seeing how some parts of the city have drastically changed and how other parts look the same.
Fellow New Yorker myself see the subway no longer red, not silver crazy
The plot of this movie being terrorism in new York city several years before 9/11 hits close to home
Those shots of them in the taxi going through traffic are well done, where they almost hit the bus really looks like the actors were in the car. Second was just after where they are racing towards the close vehicle “oh dear” looked like Bruce Willis was actually driving full speed towards the cars.
It’s really effective.
The best DH sequel and an Archer tinnitus reference. It’s a good day.
They actually had to change the protocols and procedures at the Federal Reserve because of this movie.
There is a cool alternate ending to this one too, it's on TH-cam.
I hope you noticed that one of the car's Bruce drives in this movie is the same car Bruce drove in Pulp Fiction. Also when asked by Jackson’s character Zeus, what he’s been up to since he got suspended from the force, Willis’ John replies, “smokin’ cigarettes and watchin’ Captain Kangaroo.” The same song Bruce is playing and singing in Pulp.Fiction.
Random fact:
The cop who took the briefcase at 19:59 is Tony Halme. A Finnish boxer, tv-personality (Finnish version of the tv show Gladiators), WWF wrestler in the US (Ludvig Borga) and a 2003-2007 member of the Finnish parliament. Unfortunately he took his own life 2010.
He was a colourful person in public, if I say it mildly.
I met him once in a bar around 2004 I think. Spent couple of hours with him and his posse. Really nice and polite guy, but his public image was all about show and contradictions.
There's more and more about him, what a sad story it was. His whole life from the start. But he sort of made it and took risks.
Greetings from Finland.
Katya, Simon Gruber's assassins/lover, was played by singer/songwriter Sam Phillips. She started her career as Leslie Phillips and made Contemporary Christian Music. Her last album as a CCM artist, "The Turning" (Grammy nominated CCM), was helmed by famed producer T Bone Burnett. They married a few years later. Her subsequent pop albums are all very well made and usually critically acclaimed (including Grammy nominated the "Martinis & Bikinis" song "Circle of Fire"), but she never had the big hit to make her a household name. She also had a bit of fame as the songwriter and singer for "The Gilmore Girls" TV series. She's a musical artist I've followed for over 35 years now.
fill 5 gallons. use that to fill 3 gallons. then discard 3 gallons water. that leave 2 gallons in the 5 gallons, which you transfer to the three gallons.
Then you refill the 5 gallons and pour one gallon out to the three gallons which has two gallons in it. that fills it up, and leave 4 gallons in the 5 gallons container.
Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson are in "Unbreakable" together
The frustrating thing about the water-jug riddle. I always figure it out..but, can never retain it, until I see this movie again…lol
i died everytime when you sped up the speed when he gave instrunctions over the phone
Reminds me of "The Hunt for Red October." When the book first came out, Tom Clancy was questioned by the FBI for being suspiciously close to an actual, top-secret event.
The FBI clearly don't have enough to do.
This the only Die Hard movie i've seen 100% through.
Whenever I hear Jeremy Irons voice, I always picture Scar, in my head.
"Long live the king."
well you should check out the first one
# Water Jug Puzzle Explained
Two jugs one 5 gallon jug and one 3 gallon jug
You need to fill one of the jugs with exactly 4 gallons.
Ok so you fill the 5 gallon jug full and then pour the water into the 3 gallon jug which will leave you with a full 3 gallon jug and a 5 gallon jug with exactly two gallons. NOW you pour out all the water in the 3 gallon jug leaving you with an empty 3 gallon jug and now you have a 5 gallon jug with 2 gallons of water in it.
You now pour those 2 gallons into the three gallon jug.
NOW you have an empty 5 gallon jug and a 3 gallon jug with two gallons in it.
You fill up the 5 gallon jug all the way.
NOW you pour 1 gallon of that water into the 3 gallon jug (since the 3 gallon jug already had two gallons in it), it can only take in 1 more gallon of water before becoming full, leaving you a full 3 gallon jug and a 5 gallon jug with exactly four gallons of water in it.
Put that jug on the scale and you solve the riddle.
I love this movie!!! I saw this at the theater for my 14th birthday. I had become slightly infatuated with Jeremy Irons the previous summer after seeing The Lion King, so naturally when DH:WAV came out the following summer my Mom made sure to take me to see Mr. Irons on the big screen in all his sexy villainous glory!
Emily should check out the drama Damage from 1992 starring Jeremy Irons.
37:13 Hot damn! When Matthew asked who else could have played Zeus, I immediately thought Laurence Fishburne.
my favourite Die Hard movie.
the first one is the better movie, but Vengeance thanks to the inclusion of Irons & Jackson is just more entertaining.
For Live Free or Die Hard/Die Hard 4 you have to make sure you watch the R rated cut. It's much better than the PG13 theatrical cut.
ants marching was what we called it in ORFF class. real name is of course "when johnny comes marching home."
If you watch the movie in it's entirety, one will notice that the woman that McClain almost 'upskirts' while looking for the bomb is also in the station when the train with the bomb passes. She runs off to the right.
This one was a direct sequel to the first one,that action was great and Jeremy Irons as a villain was perfect :)
This is easily up there with the best action movies of all time
The solution to the water in the canisters problem:
Fill the 3 gallon canister and pour the water to the 5 gallon one
Fill the 3 gallon canister again and top up the 5 gallon one with it.
You will 1 gallon left in the 3 gallon canister.
Empty the 5 gallon canister and pour the 1 gallon in there.
Fill up the 3 gallon canister again, pour it to the 5 gallon one and you have 4 gallons of water.
There is an alternate ending you can find on youtube.
Jeremy Irons gets away with the gold.
But he gave McClain his pain pills which were prescription from a shop in Germany.
McClain tracks Irons down in a diner. They have a quiz fest with a missile launcher.
19:00. That's exactly what i thought on how to solve the water jug riddle. I might be wrong but whatever i guess lol.
Ah gotta love seeing the bridge that gave me nightmares driving across it in thunderstorms....the old Cooper River Bridge in Charleston, SC. God that thing was rickety as hell 😂😅😢
It’s awesome they chose our city to film this one scene on our bridges. I think I remember channel 2 or 5 running a story about them filming this.
@Brophyd78 Yeah I remember hearing about it and it being in the Post and Courier I think. We saw some of it from a distance because my mom was in MUSC at the time and we lived in Summerville so we came in on 26 every day lol.
Fill the five gallon up and pour it into the 3 filling that one up, you now have 2 gallons in the 5. Empty the 3 and pour the 2 gallons left in the 5 into the 3 leaving space enough for 1 gallon, which is where they were at in the movie when they showed them solving it. Anyway, refill the five gallon and pour the remaining 1 gallon into the three gallon container leaving 4 gallons remaining in the 5 gallon container.
Lethal Weapon is already a movie in the Die Hard universe, as Lethal Weapon is advertised in the magazine the woman on the plane is reading in Die Hard 2. So there was already a tie in before this movie
As to the german being gibberish, I'm not sure. I know a lot of german words and small phrases, but nothing long. When I watch this movie and the first one, the words are there, but I don't know if the syntax is correct. So it may be gibberish in that the sentence is structured wrong, but I cam hear the key words being said.
Fun fact about Zeus's nephews. Are played by a young Aldris Hodge and his younger brother Edwin Hodge
Wow McTiernan on Batman Forever would have been great! It probably would have been less color-heavy, more pure action, far less glitzy. Can we go in time and split him in two so he can do both? lol
The first Die Hard set the standard for action movies going forward. Die Hard with a Vengeance was the peak.
I love Emilys shirt with the "B-word leave" 😂🤩
Great reaction as always, thanks guys.
I've just realised the whole scene with Zeus in the station telling the cop he has to answer the phone - is exactly the same scene as in The Incredibles, but I won't say any more because it's not in your list of watched videos.
Yes, it's a brilliant callback :)
Federal reserve in NYC have guided tours , it's free , takes about hour, and each tour can accommodate up to 25 people .
NYC Federal reserve holds 497 000 gold bars, round 6190 tons , so you would need over 300 trucks to transport it out .
Vault is 80 ft/24 m under street level , subways in midtown Manhattan are only 35 ft/11m deep , so the drilling part was bogus too 🙂
The bridge jump scene filmed in Charleston, SC is the coolest part.
You brought up the Lethal Weapon/Die Hard script connection but they have the connection of having the same composer, Michael Kamen. He did Lethal Weapon 1-4 and Die Hard 1-3 (he passed away before Die Hard 4) along with a bunch of other movies on the channel like Iron Giant and Highlander. He also did one of my top 3 themes for Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
Snap of the fingers and pippin disappears. Lol
He not only said dogs and cats he also said lift instead of elevator.
OMG, I was laughing before you even started reacting at the "BITCHES LEAVE t-shirt" 🤣
Could watch this movie 1000x over and never get bored. I used to have this and the 1st Die Hard on them old VHS tapes. Watched them so often that I eventually wore off the magnetic strip 😂!
PS: Is that Clarence Boddicker on your t-shirt Em 😂? You just don't get the classics from the 80's and 90's anymore!
$140 B in 1995 = $280.3 B today, not counting the change in $ per oz for gold
By far my favorite "Die Hard".
"Welcome to the movie(party) pal" i caught that man. LOL
Fill the 5 gallon jug, empty it into the 3 galllon jug, empty the 3 gallon jug then pour the remaining 2 gallons into 3 gallon jug from 5 gallon jug, then refil 5 gallon jug, 1 gallon of free space in the 3 gallon jug, pour 1 gallon from 5 gallon jug into 3 gallon jug, leaves exactly 4 gallons in 5 gallon jug.
It’s the “do you love me? Oh thank god!” For me.
I worked at a major insurance company and we used Hot Wheels all the time in claims. You would be surprised how handy they can be.
That taxi 🚕 going through the park 🏞️ must have been built just as good as *"The Blues Brothers"* car 🚓 🤨🤔🙂😂😎😎
*Gallon jugs challenge:*
1) Jug 3 is empty, Jug 5 is empty
Fill J3, poor that into J5
2) J3 is empty, J5 has 3 gal
Fill J3 again, fill up J5 with 2 gal, then empty J5
3) J3 has 1 gal left, J5 is empty
Now empty the 1 gal from J3 into J5
4) J3 is empty, J5 has 1 gal
Fill J3 one last time, and empty those 3 gal into J5
5) J3 is empty, and *J5 has the target 4 gallons*
I'm just proud I figured this out.
The other way is quicker. LOL
@@Dr.Acula76
Hmm...
1) Jug 3 is empty, Jug 5 is empty
Fill J5, then fill J3 from J5, then empty J3
2) J3 is empty, J5 has 2 gal left
Pour the 2 gal from J5 into J3
3) J3 has 2 gal, J5 is empty
Fill J5, and fill up J3 with 1 gal from J5
4) J3 is full, and *J5 has the target 4 gallons*
Oh, that _is_ quicker.
@@CEngelbrecht I mean yeah, one step quicker. Both ways are pretty quick after you figure it out LOL
@@CEngelbrecht I read another comment that said if they had halfway lines just fill both halfway and combine but that's cheating!
@@Dr.Acula76
Oh right, pour 1.5 gal into 2.5 gal.
But I'm sure Simon picked jugs without halfway marks, and you had to be precise, or the bomb would go off.
What was so funny when they evacuated the kids to just outside the school. Remember in the beginning what just a drop of that mixture did? What would 2,400 lbs do? I’d say couple square blocks would be leveled.
The song is really "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again", rather than the ants, but sure, that too.
I still wonder if Frozone at the water cooler at gun point in the Incredibles was mirrored from Samuel L Jackson at the phone with the police at gun point in this movie.
I think it ABSOLUTELY is as an homage
I'm right along side there, the first Die Hard and this one are my favorites of the franchise. The duo of having Samuel L Jackson alongside Bruce Willis is just *chefs kiss* perfection! It definitely elevates this movie!
I wore the tape out when it was released on VHS.
Yep!! out of all the Die Hard movies this one is my Fav Bruce Willis tagging up with Samuel l.Jackson is the best.
the way he just shook his head and laughed at "brah'd tittays"...you two are cute AF.
Random trivia fact I only know because I'm from New York: the "Listen bro I was here first!" actor has also been the spokesman in all New York State Lottery commercials for like the last 30 years.
"Katya, the unspeaking villain". That character was the icing on the cake for me.
the sandwich board actually said something much less offensive and the end result was actually CG'ed in
Another oddball inspiration: "American Werewolf in London" was inspired by a gypsy funeral John Landis saw while he was working as a production assistant on "Kelly's Heroes".
Die Hard 3 is truly the most underrated sequel of all time.
Yes Emily it is a trunk! MIND BLOWN!!!
My favorite Die Hard movie.
Sam Jackson's Zeus is Mcclanes best Partner hes had in the entire series.
Another thing i like is how this is the true sequel to Die Hard 1 with Simon Gruber wanting revenge for his brother,as opposed to Die Hard 2 which is just John Mcclane in the same situation.
Plus i respect Simon Gruber and his men not being comfortable with killing Kids,it just was a well orchestrated plan to make all of the New York police too busy.
Fill 5 gallons, pour 3 into the 3, leaving 2 in the 5. Dump the 3. Pour 2 from 5 into the 3, leaving 5 empty. Fill 5. Pour 1 from 5 to 3, leaving 4 in the 5. It's deceptively simple.
I do have to wonder why school kids in danger always have to sing row your boat... All the way back to Dirty Harry and Invasion USA, then also this one. I think Family Guy poked fun of it when Peter becomes death and the girl scouts are singing "we like being alive" to the same tune.
The knife Simon's girlfiriend uses is a custom prop for the movie. Back in the days of VHS, none of us knew that and a lot of us would always wonder what kind of knife it is. DVD commenary broke a lot of hearts dropping the bombshell that's it's a cusom prop. Additionally, the actress who played the character is also apparently a famous singer. Ironic that we don't get to hear her talk.
I'll say it again: Batman-level master criminal.
Have you guys seen *12 Monkeys* yet? That is a sci-fi movie that has a great performance from Bruce Willis, and also Brad Pitt. The TV series of a couple of years ago was surprisingly good too!
Definitely check out the alternate ending to this, it's amazing. It's very Tarantino-esq. And happens in a different setting as well.
Great movie! I remember when they were filming the movie, and filming the scenes on the parkway! A cop I know was working that detail.
In defense of Simon, I would blow up Bonwit Teller myself because of that *Back to School* sign only.
Where I'm from, the Summer holiday has just started and you are already advertising back to school sales. Wait until the end of August to do that.
Emily, I LOVE your t-shirt and I already ordered one as I was watching your reaction. ❣
