By taking a screenplay related in no way to DH, renaming it, and changing the protaganist's name to John McClane, and adding some last minute bit about the villain being DH's villain's brother? :lol

If that's so, damn did it ever work out so brilliantly!

DH1 > DH3 >>>>>>>>> DH2


Yippee-ki-yay-mother****ers!

It's an embarrassment that this line wasn't on the American Film Institute'a top 100 film quotes.

Is there a new Die Hard Trilogy being re-released? Like a remastered version?
Click to expand...
There will almost certainly be a new re-remasterd extra special edition of Die Hard etc. on shelves when Die Hard 4.0 (or whatever it heck its called now) hits theaters next year.

Also it sucks hard (note the pun lol) that it will be directed by the autur who brought us the Underworld films. That guy couldn't suck any harder if he was a F5 hurricane that just hit a Kirby vacuum factory.

Haha, I remember that from the edited-for-TV version. The greatest thing is that it makes absolutely no sense. Why would the black dudes want to kill him for that?

I'm still, to this day, disappointed that Die Hard 2 didn't take place during New Years. Die Hard set it up perfectly for that.

WasabiKing is a great man. And a great mod/admin/whatever he is.

I even have a matching avatar for that scene!

temp: I guess they put it during Christmas again so they could use the "omg Christmas again!" lines.

Yeah, but if it was set during New Years then the limo driver could drive up, look out the window, be all "whoa!!" and then leave.

sorry, always wanted to do that.

Anyways, McTiernen is kinda unemployable at the moment. Rollerball was a huge flop and Basic did mediacore business. It doesn't help that he's recently become a admitted felon and got his next film yanked from him because of it. If you were running a studio, would you hire that guy?
Click to expand...

I mean yeah I would...but only because Last Action Hero is my favourite movie.

To quote LL Cool J on the Rollerball DVD commentary: "John McTiernan, hes brilliant."

Man, what a great trilogy. My favorite character is still the construction worker in WAV who was like a ****ing encyclopedia.

Had to be '95, I was graduating high school.

Die Hard With a Vengeance was great, but it was one of those movies I had to watch a few times to really enjoy it. Mainly because of the decapitations. :D

Jeez I totally forgot about that. Alright maybe we'll have to wait until Live Free or Die Hard is about to come out, and then we'll do it. This thread will be the meeting grounds for it. Updates coming after I get home from work. :D

I see Die Hard anywhere in a thread title and I am IN.

Anybody know of high-def releases for the trilogy? It would be deserving of an erection.

I just recently saw DieHard 1 and Die hard 3. (I know lttp lol!1) Needless to say it was awesome! Seriously one of the best movie series I have seen in a long time.

I have not seen Diehard 2 yet. People keep saying it sucks so I am trying to avoid it...

die harder doesn't suck but when you compare it to the other two then yeah, it's pretty bad. if you do watch it, just see it as a spin-off or something :p

Wow @ bump.

I thought Cajole may have started a whole new thread about this. We need another Die Hard watch-a-thon.
