  • Welcome to our first-time reaction to Die Hard With A Vengeance (1995). This cinematic rollercoaster with Bruce Willis reprising his iconic role as John McClane, alongside the charismatic Samuel L. Jackson was phenomenal! The movie has a lot to love! Explosive action, dynamic duo dynamics, and intense storytelling that is characteristic of the Die Hard series.
    "Die Hard With A Vengeance" sees McClane and his unlikely partner, Zeus Carver (Samuel L. Jackson), tackling a series of deadly puzzles set by the enigmatic Simon Gruber (Jeremy Irons). This film is filled with high-octane sequences and some witty banter between Willis and Jackson that make this one of our favorites in the series thus far!
    We hope you enjoy our reactions, commentary and discussions as we explore this iconic action film.
    So let's navigate the streets of New York, face off against Simon Gruber, and immerse ourselves in the adrenaline-fueled excitement of this John McTiernan-directed blockbuster!

    Fun fact about this movie; the director was actually investigated by the FBI. The plan Simon uses would have actually succeeded in real life, and the fbi wanted to know how the director knew. He used publicly available records that ANYONE could have researched. Because of this movie, they upped security.

      Came here to say all of this. Fucking epic. It would have been such a shame to have this heist planned out in a lesser movie, I'm so glad it was used so well for such a phenomenal movie with the right talent in all the right places (acting, dialog, cinematography, sound, etc.)

    • @newspooiechannel
      @newspooiechannel 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +42

      It wasn't actually the director, but the writer, Jonathan Hensleigh. He was investigated with regard to the layout of the Federal Reserve building, the vault's placement and how it was being guarded, since it matched the actual layout and process of the building. The information he used was from a news article that was originally published in a magazine.
      On that note... John McTiernan, the director (and director of the original film) later went to jail for illegal wiretapping, perjury and lying to the FBI.

Hans and Simon are 2 of the truly iconic movie badguys in movie history. It being a more elaborate heist ties in with the first. And 4 and 5 following the same trend as 3 makes me question if you know the series.

      First of all, he is a screenplay writer, and his studio, Europa Corp, is a main production studio for those mentioned. I'd say the guy is just too busy to direct every movie of his own scripts himself. There is a deep collaboration, and his role is crucial.

    So here is a fun fact. That very offensive sign was actually CGI. They didn't want to risk people actually coming over and starting a fight. But that also means some channels changed the message to be less offensive.. and more pointless. One of the reads just says "I hate everyone" which I doubt would have the same impact from people around the neighborhood.

    On another note, you can look this fact up, when the script was written, it was first picked up to be a Lethal Weapon movie, that’s why Zeus was created because all of the dialogue was written for Murtaugh and had to be changed once it was picked up as a Die Hard film. They then had to write in Location changes to New York

    There's an alternate ending that they fully shot but decided not to use as it would have changed the whole tone of the movie and McClane more specifically. It's a cool ending and it would have replaced the entire part in Canada. You can find it here on YT. Great channel!

    The summer this movie was shot, I was working at Central Park Summer Stage and would get lunch on the west side of the park every day, and remember seeing the filming of the scenes related to the park. I look back fondly because I love this movie, and it captured the vibe of that summer, and how freaking hot it was.

    As soon as you guys mentioned how this was a Christmas movie, all I could focus on were the times they made Christmas references in the movie and I just kept laughing. It was practically Christmas in July. then. LoL. Great video, guys. Have a merry Christmas. By the way, this is the first one I saw before I saw the other two. I think it's safe to say it made me a fan of the series.

    Another fun fact: This was originally written as a standalone project called “Simon Says.” Before it was adapted into a Die Hard movie, it was actually adapted to be a Lethal Weapon sequel. But the rights lapsed and it was re-re-purposed as a Die Hard movie.
    Another fun fact: One of the rejected scripts had McClane fighting terrorists on a Caribbean cruise, but was rejected by Bruce Willis for being too similar to Under Siege. The script, Troubleshooter, was later repurposed as Speed 2: Cruise Control.

    Funny how McClane says he was "smoking cigarettes and watching captain kangaroo" when the song that contains those lyrics (Flowers on the wall by The Statler Brothers) was playing on the radio when his character Butch in Pulp Fiction, which came out a year before this movie, was driving his car when he "ran across" Marcelus Wallace in the street... before running him over.
    It's a cool little nod.

    27:05 Emptying the 5 gal jug into the 3 gal jug would leave TWO gals. The proper steps is as follows:
    1. Fill the five-gallon jug with water.
    2. Empty three gallons into the three-gallon jug, leaving two gallons in the five-gallon jug.
    3. Empty the three-gallon jug completely, and then refill it with the remaining two gallons from the five-gallon jug.
    4. Fill the five-gallon jug again.
    5. Pour it into the three-gallon jug, filling it.
    6. The five-gallon jug is left with exactly four gallons of water.

    Solution to the jugs riddle: Fill the 5, pour into the 3. This gives 3 in 3 and 2 in 5. Pour out the 3. Then pour the 2 into the 3. Then fill the 5. Then pour 1 from the 5 to the 3. Boom 4 gallons in the 5.
    The knife Simon's girlfriend uses is revealed in some of the making of or one of the commentaries to be a custom prop, and not an actual type of knife. Which, a lot of us back in the days before DVD and Bluray, a lot of us didn't know. So, there were a lot of people trying to figure out what sort of knife it is. Also, she's played by a singer. Apparently, they thought it would be interesting to make her not speak.

    The way that everyone plays off of each other could be used as a master class in building dialogue and engaging an audience based on words. The interaction is hilarious. Plus the comedy is top notch between the physical comedy and the lines.

    So glad yall liked this one. I was never a big fan of the second one but the third is an excellent finish. If you want, check out the alternate ending. It's so much better than the theatrical ending (although that one is still fun). Also, John McTiernan directed this one as well as the original Die Hard and Predator. He is probably one of the top-3 best action directors of all time. Dude was a master at shooting action.

    The most unrealistic part are the bobcats that carry the gold. That amount of gold per bucket would weigh at least 6,000lb, more than the capacity than any skid steer loader can handle. Not to mention the trucks which usually carry only about 30,000lb. That would equate to a cube of gold only 3ft wide.

    The Die Hard franchise is so great. I love them all for different reasons. (Well, maybe not all of them. The 5th film doesn't exist for me. Its the only one I saw once and never again.)
    As always, I very much enjoyed going on this ride with you both. Thanks for what you do and the smiles you bring.
    I'm sure your list is very long, but another couple of movies that I thought the second was as fun as rhe first is Red and Red 2. Our man Bruce is also in those movies and there is a great combination of hunor and action.

    A small bit of trivia on this movie: the script for this actually started as a Lethal Weapon movie script and was retooled to fit a Die Hard film. That's why Sam Jackson was cast as an older black partner for John McLane in this one.
