I watch Die Hard 1 & 2 every year at Christmas as they are both Christmas films and they honestly never get old. The 80's/90's definitely had the best action films. I also love die hard 3 ( with a vengeance).
How this movie is similar yet different to Die Hard 1 is the sense of isolation. In Die Hard 1, John McClain spends the first half of the movie just trying to get help, and even then he’s alone in that tower. He’s got no one with him except his enemies, he has to do this himself. In Die Hard 2, John starts off with a lot of potential help, but no one’s on his side. So, he works on his own. It’s not until a good portion in that the airport cops and army guys follow him, but even before he had people to back him up most of the time. Until the plot twist. Suddenly that back up is stripped from him as he realizes the army guys are in cahoots with the terrorists. That’s when John realizes he needs to do this himself, that’s when that sense of isolation comes back, and that’s when John McClain is at his best.
mcclane managed to fall off the plane and land right at the beginning of the gasoline trail which btw happened to leak in a straight line instead of a spray.. that's amazing..
The bad guy killing his henchmen trope is called a "kill the cat" moment. It basically exists to demonstrate just how evil your main villain is and/or how far he's willing to go to accomplish his goal.
Here's a couple more. John's on the east coast but the payphone he uses when talking to Holly says "Pacific Bell". With the HUGE explosion of a 747 on a runway, how is it possible that none of the passengers at the airport or anybody living within 20 miles saw the huge fireball and reported it. The panic at the airport should have happened much sooner.
"Glock 7 porcelain gun, made in Germany doesn't show up on you on your airport, x-ray machines and it cost more than you make in a month!" hahahahahahhahahaahahhahahahaha, A Glock 17, polymer gun, made in Austria. The striker pin, barrel, slide and ammunition would easily set off an airport x-ray machine, since the are the metal components (only the frame, trigger and guide rod a polymer) and in 1990 would cost about $450-500, a little less than a Beretta, Sig Sauer or H&K.
The one thing that seemed to be left out is that the entire enemy plan was based - at least 2 months in advance - on the assumption that the NoVA area would have a snowstorm so big that it would shut down all the airports that the planes landing near Dulles could be diverted to. I mean, since 1888 there's only been 13 "White Christmases" in NoVA - if there had been no snow, if the weather had been warm, then the planes would all just be diverted to another airport with little concern... I can't believe the enemy made all their plans with the idea that the planes would all be shut down because of a snow storm... What if it didn't snow?
I don't remember the scene where we learn that they had planned this two months in advance but you have to imagine they planned more on the Christmas confusion than the weather.
@@blakeharris58 The 2-months of planning was actually dinged as a sin (14:29). Also, Dain was right. The plan depended on snow during Christmas in northern Virginia, a situation so rare that no one making a plan would even think to depend on it. It would be similar to planning an elaborate heist to steal the Crown Jewels of the UK in April, and the entire plan hinged on it being a cloudless sunny day. I wonder if the original idea was to set the film in New York City, which would make more sense for a number of reasons, but it got changed after the first draft of the screenplay was written and no one realized how implausible snow in D.C. would be.
Then they should have arranged it in January. It's probably been less than 13 times since 1888 January has been warmer than December (in the Northern Hemisphere of course)
and what makes it even worse is that there is no way in any scenario where the planes would have to little fuel to divert somewhere else but yet can safely wait in a holding pattern for a few hours, after the first hour most if not all planes would already be halfway to, if not already landed at the next airport.
there's about 100 more sins to add: - unrealistis ATC terminology. they could have found some atc controller that would give them pointers for few hundred bucks... - also, airports (tower) ATC is only for landings (sometimes approach) - there are billion ways that they could have contacted those planes - there is a scene where Dick looks throughout the window and sees a plane way too close, a bit below going in opposite direction - if each plane goes like 200 knots (its almost like minimal speed), that be 400 knots difference - would flyby so fast one another.... - that "traffic jam" in the air would suggest like there's thousands of planes above Dulles and yet the end scene shows like 5 planes only.... - cargo planes do not have eject seats - mcclane would die by crashing his head into overhead panels - guy gets sucked into a jet engine, gets crushed and yet the engine still works with no damage - plane landing on low fuel is not a cause for crash (brace) positions - in fact it should be easier to land the plane with less fuel coz it'd be lighter - why the emergency evacutions of undammaged, fully functional just low on fuel planes, and in the middle of the runway never the less???? i loved Die Hard (1), but this sequel is like a low budget parody. Part 3 is much better, but then again, parts 4 and 5 suck donkey balls, just as this one.
Its possible a human could go through a high-bypass turbofan and not break it. It would depend on how much metal went through with him (boots, belt, gun, etc). The meat parts would lose.
-the brace positions were, i believe, them not being sure they’d be able to land the plane properly at all. the Windsor flight doesn’t do this even though they were low on fuel, because they thought they were landing safely. -the whole airport is still dark with snow making it hard for the pilots to see. plus airport staff were already preoccupied with the terrorists plus managing the riots caused by Thornberg, they wouldn’t even be ready to get the planes to their gates every movie has its mistakes, and at the end of the day, they’re fictional and only for our entertainment. I liked die hard 2 a lot because it entertained me throughout the movie. Also, I can’t believe you compared this to die hard 5, a movie 1000 times worse than die hard 2.
still hard to believe they couldn't reach another airport in the time it takes McLane to take out the bad guys. Also, they all carried that much extra fuel except the one plane that crashed? (there is a line where the bad guys say it is out of fuel)
John was told that his wife's airplane would run out of fuel in 90 minutes.....I'm not a pilot, but it seems that you could reach any of the many airports on the east coast if it was an emergency. Two hours and they could have reached the Midwest.
Such a shame they can’t make good movies like this one anymore. Been a long time since a really entertaining action movie has been released. Amazing how the 80’s and 90’s were best times for movies.
@@salamisumo2 exactly lol. tons of great movies in hollywood and especially independents and this dope is wishing die hard 2 type films were still being made lolol
another sin should be that there are several airports (Baltimore, Reagan, Charlotte, Richmond, etc) that the planes could have went to rather than circle Dulles until the fuel almost runs out.
The problem is the pilots would have no idea that they were going to be circling for a dangerous length of time. They were told of technical problems by the tower, but not told about the extreme situation that had caused those problems, so the pilots would think nothing of circling and waiting for authority to land. To them, it would have just looked like a routine delay. I've been delayed for half an hour once when the plane I was on had to circle around waiting to land at Heathrow.
@@adamlea6339 once you get to a certain point you head to your alternate. And the weather there would be good because it needs to be good for you to plan the flight
I loved the first 3 movies. These were made during a time when action movies were purposefully made to be tongue-in-cheek, while everyone looked serious.
Very well done...by the way, that Captain of the L-1011 was quite prepared...aTriStar has 3 engines, but he brought 4 throttle controls with him. Also, there is a quick shot of the forward cabin where the Flight Attendant escorts Dicky to his new seat. Look fast, for there is a spiral staircase going to the non- existent upper deck. No wonder the Captain was pushing 4 throttle levers...
Hehehe- I have fond memories of shooting down that chopper at the start of the first level in order to get dual Berettas. Also, who knew foam ceiling tiles were so deadly...
At about 6:00 in, when the captain is listing the 7 FAA regulations and 5 District of Columbia regulations that John broke... Dulles is not in the District of Columbia.
@@hamsclass Yeah, but I absolutely LOVE "Real Genius". Plus, he supposedly gets TONS of comments about Ghosbusters already (particularly the "dickless" line), so I would do my best to bring up anything other than that movie.
6:22 actually, Jeremy, lead is a non-ferrous metal and is just about as llikely to set off a metal detector as the shit in his brain. I hate to be THAT guy, but nitpicky assholes like to nitpick the things other nitpicky assholes say. So I guess I don't hate to be that guy after all.
A huge airport like Dulles probably isn't using some cheapass "commercial" metal detector they stick in an inner city highschool. They're going to spring for an industrial grade metal detector.
irllcd13 It would still be commercially available, and in 1990. I appreciate your effort, but no: Dulles airport metal detectors in 1990 would not be set of by the lead in this guy's ass.
Though McCain could like many people not realize that lead would not set off a metal detector, but even he should know that shit inside a human body would definitely not set off a metal detector.
The Die Hard movies are some of my favorite movies but I have to say you guys saw the same things I saw and your videos are very entertaining! Keep it up I laughed too much this morning 😂
Yeah, this one is lazy, ridiculous, derivative and unfunny. Good Day, on the other hand, was unwatchable. Seriously, I turned it off half an hour in. 1. Die Hard 2. Die Hard With A Vengeance 3. Live Free Or Die Hard/ Die Hard 4.0 4. Die Hard 2 ...and that's pretty much it.
AND being a Commo Guy MYSELF, I can say that: *_You NEVER say "REPEAT" over the radio" because that's reserved for airstrikes ONLY! Instead, you say: "I SAY AGAIN"!_*
You sinned the guy in the church with snacks but not the absolute bullshit John McLean spews about Glock handguns being undetectable by metal detectors? WTF guys...
GBKK99 While the amount of metal in a glock is lower, the firing pin and barrel both would be metal, and if your belt buckle can set the detector off, so will the glock.
You are correct, Carl. There's plenty of metal in a Glock pistol, and while I won't explicitly rule out a ceramic one being possible (I'm not a materials engineer), I know damn well that the ones we had access to back when this movie was made could, and did trigger the metal detectors. Still far too much plastic in those things for my personal tastes, though. They just don't feel right.
Don't forget the springs in both the pistol and magazine. I once tripped a metal detector because I forgot to take a pen out my pocket, it was plastic except for the spring that makes the clicky thing work.
I was waiting for that too. 80% of the Glock's weight is made from metal. Slide, barrel, springs, lining inside the magazine, all made from steel. And it's a high density plastic, not porcelain, that's dense enough to show up on x-ray machines. The film's armorer tried to get them to cut the line, but it stayed in because they thought it sounded cool. Even though literally everything McClane said was false.
ATC doesn't really tell the pilots where to go. Pilots make all of the decisions. ATC is there to keep planes from hitting each other and keep things orderly.
@@leob4403 #1. There's a massive blizzard. And #2. The bad guys fucked with the radar --- that was the whole plot of the movie. If the pilots made a move to another airport, it would've completely been in the blind & likely would have resulted in one plane crashing into another as was threatened by William Sadler (main bad guy)
All valid points and I always ask myself many of these questions too whenever I watch this movie. Gotta admit when McClane opened fire at Lorenzo, the fact other cops were there just aiming at McClane and not shooting the maniac is the craziest thing in the entire film. Heck, you gotta love this movie anyway, it's just too much fun.
You missed a few that have bugged me since day one. -Though you mentioned it in passing, the grenades took over 28 seconds to explode. An enemy would have time to FedEx them back to you...even during Christmas rush. -Their MP5's work by blowback action. Gas trapped behind a fired bullet, moving down the barrel, helps re-cock the weapon for the next shot. If you're firing blanks(revolvers obviously excepted) you need a Blank Firing Attachment fixed at the end of the barrel, to partially trap the gasses, so the weapon can properly cycle the blanks(Hollywood hides them in the barrel). Without one you will only fire one shot. If you try to fire live ammo with a BFA in place, you, and everyone around you, are going to be very sorry. So no BFAs seen, no BFAs being surreptitiously removed, means all those festive blue and red mags(a key plot point) wouldn't have worked as they needed them to. -Normally, there is no rope installed on top of a 747 wing at the leading edge, but one is seen clearly when McClane jumps from the helicopter. -No fuel dump lever installed on pylon. To what end? Refuelers can empty tanks through the same system they use to fuel the aircraft and pilots can dump fuel while still in the cockpit. They rarely crawl out to the engines while in flight...even with that mysterious rope. - you cannot see anyone on the wing, near the fuselage, while looking over your shoulder, seated in the cockpit, even the wingtip is a stretch. -Fuselage doors are meant to lock into their surrounding structure to withstand the internal pressure at altitude and to transfer structural loads while in flight. Their edges are all locking mechanisms, not the smooth white plastic depicted in the film. The over wing door looks like it was carved out of 8" thick Styrofoam and would be just about as useful. More like a cheap set you'd find in a HS production of DH2 The Musical rather than a big budget flick.
Wo wo hey hey hey, slow down there. That DH2 is at christmas again is definitely NOT a sin - it is the reason why we have at least 1 good Christmas-movie :)
john panoulias yay im not the only one that noticed that. I watched this movie when it first came out long before people used the word triggerd but when he said that i was definitely triggered lol
If I'm not mistaken, there are many airports close to Dulles where those planes can divert to which should render Stuart's terror plot invalid even before he executes it.
Here is something you missed. We are led to believe that the circling planes for whatever reason can't use the British Airways plane going up in a fireball as a guide to landing (what, they didn't see the massive orange fireball in the dark??). Yet when Col. Stuart's 747 goes up in a fireball, every plane circling Dulles can see Holly's plane use it and also uses it as their guide.
I took that the British plane didn’t leave a trail and they were to high up to see but the other planes at the end were already dropping altitude trying to land so they saw the fire through the storm. And nobody shot McClane when he fired blanks because he is a fellow cop and a national hero. I got lots of explanations. I love this movie.
The 80s and the 90s had the best fuckin action movies man. You got Bruce Willis and Robert Patrick both in this movie. Plus General Stuart doesn't get enough love for being a great villain like Hans and Simon were.
Yeah, I actually saw some footage of Bruce Willis in an interview saying they made Die Hard 3 to make up for Die Hard 2 because it was so over the top. Over the top!? That’s Die Hard’s brand you asshole! 10 sins for you and you were IN the movie!
The nude work out scene was the actor’s choice. He just did it and the director essentially said ... “I like it”. Also, my first flight ever was out of Dulles. In 1992, and as a kid I was able to see the control tower, the cockpit, IN FLIGHT, and when my father worked in DC he went on quite the business trip, and I got to see the Concord land there. As well as the plane they typically used for Air Force One (which is not called that unless the President is on board). Also it was the first 747 I ever saw. Never been lucky enough to fly on one or an A380 either. A3-something for my 4 international flights. Also I love the Die Hard series except the PG-13 one. And I love McClain’s M9 great gun!!! And hey even Robert Patrick had to get his start somewhere... I can’t wait to hear what you have to say about the blanks.
Couple of things you missed. 1. The payphones John McClain uses at Dulles Airport have Pacific Bell logos on them. 2. There would never be that type of action allowed at a civilian Airport. The foreign military plane would have been landed at Andrews Air Force Base. Also, the plane was coming from somewhere in South America, why wouldn't they land the plane at Homestead Air Force in Florida why would they go through to Washington and fly into a massive snowstorm? Dumb planning! 3. We see the terrorists crash a jetliner we are told twice is low on fuel. If it is so low on fuel why does it explode in a massive Fireball? 4. There is no such thing as an ejection seat on a cargo plane or any pressurized aircraft. Only canopy fighter jets have ejector seats. 5. Airport runways never have tunnels running underneath them, when you have aircraft away half a million pounds slamming on to them at over a hundred miles an hour you want nothing but solid underneath.
***** Yea, it should be an epic crossover. It took two surfer accented Californian teens to help him have a change of heart and become good. At least that's my theory as of now.
Is the drug lord the Dosequis most interesting man in the world? "I don't always fly planes in blizzards, but when I do, I shoot the pilot and windshield first."
I think a sin should have been removed for this being the first action movie I can think of where a bullet fired through a plane didn’t create a magical explosive decompression sucking vortex. Also, how’d you miss the Glock 7?
"Made of porcelain so it won't set off a metal detector. So is the recoil spring, the ammunition, and the spring in the magazine." Or however that quote goes. People were actually freaking out about Glocks due to this movie.
@@The_Real_Slim_Shadow94 depending on the altitude, yes, you will be sucked out of the window. in fact, back in 1990 it did happen to British Airways Flight 5390, window on captain side was improperly secured with to short screws and gave out 20 minutes after take off at 5300 m (17300 ft) one of the windscreen panels on the captains side gave out and sucked him halfway thru the window, only reason he is alive is because his knees got caught on his flight controls, and a flight attendant grabbed his belt and held on for dear life despite suffering severe frostbite and exhaustion, he was replaced by 2 other attendants who held on the captain until landing. another similar event happened in china to Sichuan Airlines 3U8633, this time it was the co-pilot and it was at 9750 m (32000 ft), he survived purely thanks to still having his seat belt on, without it he would have been gone before anyone even realized what had happened. reason it "sucks" is because the pressure outside is far less then the pressure inside, whenever a explosive decompression happens you HAVE to perform a emergency rapid decent maneuver or else you will suffocate and freeze since temperatures higher up can be as low as negative 70-80 degrees Celsius (negative 94-112 Fahrenheit)
@@theldraspneumonoultramicro405 would have to big a big hole to create an intense enough vacuum to pull an 80 kg man. Which interestingly enough the bigger the hole the less suction power due to surface area increase. The odds of being sucked out of a plane are almost as low as the odds of being sucked out of a spaceship. Slim to none
@@jimmyherman8820 there is actual multiple historical precedence of people getting sucked out, like for example the flight i mentioned in my original post, so i would say it's probably a tad bit more likely to happen then what you seem to think.
11:30 since the first jets, all aircraft had what was known as a ground proximity radar. It usually gave 2500ft warning silently, and below 1000 feet you would start to hear it scream at you telling you to pull up. Plenty of warning.
Good one about the planes. How about at 13:12, why was General Esperanza guarded (its not shown though) by ONE inexperienced guard, who he tricks and then overpowers to break free?
Fun fact: Siskel & Ebert actually considered DH2 to be the best in the franchise. Roger didn't even like the original, while Gene ranked this sequel as the 6th best film of 1990 above the likes of Dances with Wolves and Godfather 3.
jp3813 Ebert said he didn’t like Die Hard because of the character Dwayne Robinson and thought he was a useless and annoying character. After seeing the sequels he changed his mind on Die Hard and gave it a better review.
@@scottknode898 Yet I remember him saying that he has never flipped his thumb for a film in his career which is why he dismissed Siskel's idea of an episode where they fess up on their mistakes.
you sir are a genius. to be able to be so critical of any movie you watch and make it so comical is seriously genius. I've enjoyed your work now for years now and I honestly am so impressed by how good you are at this. basically just wanna say great job man, you are something else 👌👍
13:23 The discrepancy is over runway 10 or 15, which would be 5 degrees off from one another if they were real, right? Given the size of major airport runways, particularly when the 727 was still in service, this seems impossible.
It’s actually a 50 degree difference because they drop the last digit, but still, yes that angle would still likely be impossible. Also, Dulles doesn’t even have landing strips like that anyway.
Always finds human sized HVAC ducting that's strong enough to support a human, that's not insulated has no screws, stick pens or dampers. Then the good guy comes up to the slow running massive fan, that speeds up just in time for the bad guy to fall/get sucked into it. It can easily grind the bad guy into pink mist but can be stopped by the good guy with a belt/shoe/conveniently placed 2x4.
Fun Die Hard fact (2 and a half years late) The script for Die Hard started life as Comando 2 - and I am so happy it turned out the way it did, imagine Arnie storming around a skyscraper cracking one-liners
There’s a scene where Mcclane makes a call on a pay phone in Dulles and the sign on the phone reads “Pacific Bell” as opposed to “C&P Telephone” (pre Verizon). Sin!
when my sports teacher took religious study one time, we watched The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. beat that! "anyone here care about religion?" "no" "like horror films?" "...YEAH!"
What about the fact the banter is flowing at the end of the movie despite multiple civilian deaths and an entire commercial jet airliner including child passengers being downed?
Half this movie I'm yelling at the tv that there are dozens of perfectly good planes with perfectly good radio sets sitting right outside the damned building. Nobody really thought about the plot of this movie having to make sense before they decided to make it.
Also you missed two big ones that surprisingly a lot of people do. He mentions the terrorist had a Glock 7. There is no such gun. That was a Glock 17 and contrary to what he said it's made in Austria, not Germany, and it's fully detectable by airport scanners as only the frame is plastic, the rest of the gun is made of steel. That huge misconception always pisses me off. As much as I love all the Die Hard movies I totally have to degree, this one was probably the worst.
ha, I actually own a Glock 17. And yeah, the barrel assembly is all steel, and quite heavy compared to the plastic handle. There is also several metal pieces in the handle. Even when removing the barrel assembly, the handle still has a little bit of metal in it where the firing pin is and the back metal piece the barrel "rests" on and 2 "guides" one either side of the slide assembly, and the trigger mechanism.
Of the ones that matter, yeah this one is the worst. But still better than a good day to day hard. And for some reason, as bad as this one is, I still love watching it.
Old comment but I may like to point out when the Glock 17 originally came out, some older metal detectors had trouble detecting them despite all the metal within the frame, but any up to date ones had no trouble if I remember my history right.
Jeremy missed that the phone booths supposedly in Dulles Airport were all Pacific Bell phones. And also that Dennis Franz tells McClane that he violated "District of Colombia laws" when that's not where Dulles is. Overall, great job though.
Now I understand where the idea for this channel came from and why you were forced, and now willingly are, just sin "whatever". I really don't remember die-hard/2 being this, well bad, but here it is in all its glory. I was barely 3 and of course, saw it later. It seemed like a pretty damned good movie to me. Nope, you didn't ruin it for me. It's just interesting the inconsistencies when I actually sit down and think about it. Not just through your short clips(through the movie as well... is that a sin because I had to say it... haha). It's really quite amusing actually.
Missed a sin at 5:45, where Franz tells Willis he broke five District of Columbia regulations. Dulles Airport is in Loudoun County, Virginia, and not DC.
You missed some serious sins! At #43, you let Sipowicz tell McClane that he had violated "five District of Columbia regulations" when Dulles is actually in Virginia, and not subject to DC's regulations on airport operations. (At #58, you clearly show your knowledge of Dulles' location.) *ding* During your tirade on #73, you missed a good 10 payphones supposedly in Dulles, Virginia, but sporting the PacBell logo. *ding* At #96, the runways mentioned are 10 and 15. The runways at Dulles are 01(/19) and 12(/30). *ding*
Cynical Atheist haha i was gonna call you a "Grinch atheist" or something but i dont need to because of your username. its not everyday that i see someone who is proud of the emptiness of their life.
Jack M you haven't even read Scripture, guy. Christianity is (unfortunately) not one united group. look up Eastern Orthodoxy. no death or atrocities there. just the truth.
The absolutely worst part about this movie (and honestly why I hope to not waste my time watching this movie again) is the anti-military rhetoric they pushed all throughout it. Like you pointed out in Sin #31 @ 4:25 , how can one guy, in McClain, with only police academy training (granted with 15 years of real-world police experience as well, yet still only police experience) single-handedly take down an elite unit of Special-Forces-trained soldiers, who's led by men who have the same amount (if not more, when combined) of military experience as McClain does as a cop?!! This alone is why Die Hard with a Vengeance is the better sequel between the two, by a mile!!
Every time the word *Bee* is said its a sin and the movie changes to a 10 hour loop of "They Don't stop Coming" Smash Mouth allstar. After each loop it switches to The WW2 documentary of WW2 In Color. Everytime a Nazi is seen it switches to the whole series of Spongebob Squarepants. Everytime Spongebob's feet make a squeaking sound it switches back to Bee movie.
I think Die hard 2 is an underrated sequel. They did a nice job of not beating you over the head about what happened in the last movie. It was different well at the same time being similar. You really felt like Holly was in jeopardy. Nice job.
I remember when I tested my taser (in the air). It was so damn loud!!!! There is no way you could pull it out on an plane without everyone knowing about it.
I watch Die Hard 1 & 2 every year at Christmas as they are both Christmas films and they honestly never get old. The 80's/90's definitely had the best action films. I also love die hard 3 ( with a vengeance).
Best thing about DH2 is that the edited version for TV has him say "Yippee ki yay, Mr. Falcon!"
Dan Derps Nothing I guess? That's the best profile picture ever. Use your own imagination ... 🤗
everything.
New Message ok
then captain falcon comes whizzing by at 700mph
the tv version of DH3 is even worse. "Hey, BONEHEAD. Got any aspirine? Because I got a RAGING headache". I just cringed at the poor dubbing.
How this movie is similar yet different to Die Hard 1 is the sense of isolation. In Die Hard 1, John McClain spends the first half of the movie just trying to get help, and even then he’s alone in that tower. He’s got no one with him except his enemies, he has to do this himself.
In Die Hard 2, John starts off with a lot of potential help, but no one’s on his side. So, he works on his own. It’s not until a good portion in that the airport cops and army guys follow him, but even before he had people to back him up most of the time. Until the plot twist. Suddenly that back up is stripped from him as he realizes the army guys are in cahoots with the terrorists. That’s when John realizes he needs to do this himself, that’s when that sense of isolation comes back, and that’s when John McClain is at his best.
mcclane managed to fall off the plane and land right at the beginning of the gasoline trail which btw happened to leak in a straight line instead of a spray.. that's amazing..
The bad guy killing his henchmen trope is called a "kill the cat" moment. It basically exists to demonstrate just how evil your main villain is and/or how far he's willing to go to accomplish his goal.
Chris Newman thank you good sir. I didn't know that. Now I do.
Any time. :)
Indeed there is.
You are not Persian by any chance are you?
Here's a couple more.
John's on the east coast but the payphone he uses when talking to Holly says "Pacific Bell".
With the HUGE explosion of a 747 on a runway, how is it possible that none of the passengers at the airport or anybody living within 20 miles saw the huge fireball and reported it. The panic at the airport should have happened much sooner.
I was gonna say that about the payphone! I actually noticed that when i saw it at the movie theatre!
Actually filmed at the old Denver Stapleton airport.
"Glock 7 porcelain gun, made in Germany doesn't show up on you on your airport, x-ray machines and it cost more than you make in a month!" hahahahahahhahahaahahhahahahaha,
A Glock 17, polymer gun, made in Austria. The striker pin, barrel, slide and ammunition would easily set off an airport x-ray machine, since the are the metal components (only the frame, trigger and guide rod a polymer) and in 1990 would cost about $450-500, a little less than a Beretta, Sig Sauer or H&K.
Damn, you beat me to the payphone goof!!
Always confused me as to how no one in the airport noticed the plane crash. That fireball was massive.
The one thing that seemed to be left out is that the entire enemy plan was based - at least 2 months in advance - on the assumption that the NoVA area would have a snowstorm so big that it would shut down all the airports that the planes landing near Dulles could be diverted to. I mean, since 1888 there's only been 13 "White Christmases" in NoVA - if there had been no snow, if the weather had been warm, then the planes would all just be diverted to another airport with little concern... I can't believe the enemy made all their plans with the idea that the planes would all be shut down because of a snow storm... What if it didn't snow?
What did anyone expect from mercenaries who were soldiers and aren't really that well educated
I don't remember the scene where we learn that they had planned this two months in advance but you have to imagine they planned more on the Christmas confusion than the weather.
@@blakeharris58 The 2-months of planning was actually dinged as a sin (14:29). Also, Dain was right. The plan depended on snow during Christmas in northern Virginia, a situation so rare that no one making a plan would even think to depend on it. It would be similar to planning an elaborate heist to steal the Crown Jewels of the UK in April, and the entire plan hinged on it being a cloudless sunny day. I wonder if the original idea was to set the film in New York City, which would make more sense for a number of reasons, but it got changed after the first draft of the screenplay was written and no one realized how implausible snow in D.C. would be.
Then they should have arranged it in January. It's probably been less than 13 times since 1888 January has been warmer than December (in the Northern Hemisphere of course)
and what makes it even worse is that there is no way in any scenario where the planes would have to little fuel to divert somewhere else but yet can safely wait in a holding pattern for a few hours, after the first hour most if not all planes would already be halfway to, if not already landed at the next airport.
Where is it Cinemasins... Where is Suicide Squad!? WE DEMAND IT BEFORE THE NEW YEAR!

there's about 100 more sins to add:
- unrealistis ATC terminology. they could have found some atc controller that would give them pointers for few hundred bucks...
- also, airports (tower) ATC is only for landings (sometimes approach) - there are billion ways that they could have contacted those planes
- there is a scene where Dick looks throughout the window and sees a plane way too close, a bit below going in opposite direction - if each plane goes like 200 knots (its almost like minimal speed), that be 400 knots difference - would flyby so fast one another....
- that "traffic jam" in the air would suggest like there's thousands of planes above Dulles and yet the end scene shows like 5 planes only....
- cargo planes do not have eject seats - mcclane would die by crashing his head into overhead panels
- guy gets sucked into a jet engine, gets crushed and yet the engine still works with no damage
- plane landing on low fuel is not a cause for crash (brace) positions - in fact it should be easier to land the plane with less fuel coz it'd be lighter
- why the emergency evacutions of undammaged, fully functional just low on fuel planes, and in the middle of the runway never the less????
i loved Die Hard (1), but this sequel is like a low budget parody. Part 3 is much better, but then again, parts 4 and 5 suck donkey balls, just as this one.
Part 4 is great. Len Wiseman is a good action director.
Its possible a human could go through a high-bypass turbofan and not break it. It would depend on how much metal went through with him (boots, belt, gun, etc). The meat parts would lose.
-the brace positions were, i believe, them not being sure they’d be able to land the plane properly at all. the Windsor flight doesn’t do this even though they were low on fuel, because they thought they were landing safely.
-the whole airport is still dark with snow making it hard for the pilots to see. plus airport staff were already preoccupied with the terrorists plus managing the riots caused by Thornberg, they wouldn’t even be ready to get the planes to their gates
every movie has its mistakes, and at the end of the day, they’re fictional and only for our entertainment. I liked die hard 2 a lot because it entertained me throughout the movie. Also, I can’t believe you compared this to die hard 5, a movie 1000 times worse than die hard 2.

@@assembled1855Live Free or Die Hard is the best sequel. Agreed. 🎉
These movies are so much better when you don't think about it....
But it's so great to think about it.
Whyyy?? Why do you need to believe a film is real life or needs every bit of its plot perfect to be enjoyable?
What, no complaints about how they had planes circling Dulles for an hour and not one of them thought to divert to Reagan, five minutes away?
In the beginning of the movie, it is mentioned that Reagan (or National, back then) had shut down because the runways were totally iced over.
still hard to believe they couldn't reach another airport in the time it takes McLane to take out the bad guys. Also, they all carried that much extra fuel except the one plane that crashed? (there is a line where the bad guys say it is out of fuel)
John was told that his wife's airplane would run out of fuel in 90 minutes.....I'm not a pilot, but it seems that you could reach any of the many airports on the east coast if it was an emergency. Two hours and they could have reached the Midwest.
Dulles and Reagan. Two of the shittiest people in American history. Pathetic, evil, greedy, corrupt and murderous.
Reagan - one of the greatest presidents in American history.
Golon Wes - one of the dumbest trolls on RUclips.
Such a shame they can’t make good movies like this one anymore. Been a long time since a really entertaining action movie has been released. Amazing how the 80’s and 90’s were best times for movies.
Sucks to be you, stuck living in the past 😸

Die Hard 2 is a really pale imitation of the first movie. 3 and 4 were much better.
another sin should be that there are several airports (Baltimore, Reagan, Charlotte, Richmond, etc) that the planes could have went to rather than circle Dulles until the fuel almost runs out.
Yep, that's a pretty massive plothole. Also, pilots would never aimlessly circle overhead for 2 hours running low, they would divert immediately.
The problem is the pilots would have no idea that they were going to be circling for a dangerous length of time. They were told of technical problems by the tower, but not told about the extreme situation that had caused those problems, so the pilots would think nothing of circling and waiting for authority to land. To them, it would have just looked like a routine delay. I've been delayed for half an hour once when the plane I was on had to circle around waiting to land at Heathrow.
@@adamlea6339 once you get to a certain point you head to your alternate. And the weather there would be good because it needs to be good for you to plan the flight
They did mention Reagan National was closed. I suppose Baltimore was also closed. Charlotte, Richmond, no idea.
@@tiadaid if they were all closed you would have enough fuel to go somewhere good otherwise you would never leave
I loved the first 3 movies. These were made during a time when action movies were purposefully made to be tongue-in-cheek, while everyone looked serious.
Somehow in this movie nearly all the sins are what makes me love it.
It's actually the first time I notice the TV during Stuart's naked stretching shows him and Esperanza together lol
I didn't notice it even here because I was honestly paying more attention to the naked stretching, as usual.
I immediately lost it when:
“:...one plastic dummy with with many years of scaffolding collapsing experience...” that was beyond hilarious!!!
Very well done...by the way, that Captain of the L-1011 was quite prepared...aTriStar has 3 engines, but he brought 4 throttle controls with him. Also, there is a quick shot of the forward cabin where the Flight Attendant escorts Dicky to his new seat. Look fast, for there is a spiral staircase going to the non- existent upper deck. No wonder the Captain was pushing 4 throttle levers...
Remember the video game adaptation...
**Blows up 20 innocent civillians**
Bruce Willis: Sorry pal.
Hehehe- I have fond memories of shooting down that chopper at the start of the first level in order to get dual Berettas. Also, who knew foam ceiling tiles were so deadly...
Yeah me too, I originally had a demo of it so played the airport mission a lot.
Hey, Virtua Cop-style adaptation of DH2 is amazing!
At about 6:00 in, when the captain is listing the 7 FAA regulations and 5 District of Columbia regulations that John broke... Dulles is not in the District of Columbia.
There's that obvious one too. Should've been two sins.
Should have used Reagan. lol
Reagan is also in Northern Virginia

JerseyNick Yeah, still no dice. The electron emission from lead is so incredibly low, that no commercially available metal detector would pick it up.
A huge airport like Dulles probably isn't using some cheapass "commercial" metal detector they stick in an inner city highschool. They're going to spring for an industrial grade metal detector.
irllcd13 It would still be commercially available, and in 1990. I appreciate your effort, but no: Dulles airport metal detectors in 1990 would not be set of by the lead in this guy's ass.
then we just reedit the sin to say that neither would set of a metal detector.
Though McCain could like many people not realize that lead would not set off a metal detector, but even he should know that shit inside a human body would definitely not set off a metal detector.

huh?
For a plane with zero fuel left, it created one hell of an explosion.
yes, this, planes with no fuel do not explode, there will barely even be any fire.
U guyz r dumb... XD learn some science please!! XD
Actually planes with empty fuel tanks are more likely to explode due to the fumes.
Plane never have no fuel aboard, sometimes called unusable fuel
@@dannydaw59 Incorrect. The planes that explode and turn into huge fires are the ones loaded with fuel. A near-empty plane wouldn't explode like this.
You sinned the guy in the church with snacks but not the absolute bullshit John McLean spews about Glock handguns being undetectable by metal detectors? WTF guys...
I swear I heard that they had to toughen up airport metal detectors because some glocks could go undetected at the time
GBKK99 While the amount of metal in a glock is lower, the firing pin and barrel both would be metal, and if your belt buckle can set the detector off, so will the glock.
You are correct, Carl. There's plenty of metal in a Glock pistol, and while I won't explicitly rule out a ceramic one being possible (I'm not a materials engineer), I know damn well that the ones we had access to back when this movie was made could, and did trigger the metal detectors. Still far too much plastic in those things for my personal tastes, though. They just don't feel right.
Don't forget the springs in both the pistol and magazine. I once tripped a metal detector because I forgot to take a pen out my pocket, it was plastic except for the spring that makes the clicky thing work.
I was waiting for that too. 80% of the Glock's weight is made from metal. Slide, barrel, springs, lining inside the magazine, all made from steel. And it's a high density plastic, not porcelain, that's dense enough to show up on x-ray machines. The film's armorer tried to get them to cut the line, but it stayed in because they thought it sounded cool. Even though literally everything McClane said was false.
Overheard from two pilots having a conversation about the movie when it came out: The air traffic controllers would have rerouted to BWI.
ATC doesn't really tell the pilots where to go. Pilots make all of the decisions. ATC is there to keep planes from hitting each other and keep things orderly.
@@russell2952 I could have misunderstood. They probably meant the pilots would reroute
@Gareth De Bruyn still it makes absolutely no sense, they could have just landed on another airport
@@leob4403 #1. There's a massive blizzard. And #2. The bad guys fucked with the radar --- that was the whole plot of the movie. If the pilots made a move to another airport, it would've completely been in the blind & likely would have resulted in one plane crashing into another as was threatened by William Sadler (main bad guy)
This is way the ending is two-fold:
1. Epic way to kill bad guys
2. Heroically shows planes where to land (one after the other)
"DYN-O-MITE! Get ready for some good times!"
killed me lol
All valid points and I always ask myself many of these questions too whenever I watch this movie. Gotta admit when McClane opened fire at Lorenzo, the fact other cops were there just aiming at McClane and not shooting the maniac is the craziest thing in the entire film. Heck, you gotta love this movie anyway, it's just too much fun.
There are two kinds of people: those who think Die Hard is a Christmas movie and those who are wrong.
There are 10 kinds of people in this world........
You missed a few that have bugged me since day one.
-Though you mentioned it in passing, the grenades took over 28 seconds to explode. An enemy would have time to FedEx them back to you...even during Christmas rush.
-Their MP5's work by blowback action. Gas trapped behind a fired bullet, moving down the barrel, helps re-cock the weapon for the next shot. If you're firing blanks(revolvers obviously excepted) you need a Blank Firing Attachment fixed at the end of the barrel, to partially trap the gasses, so the weapon can properly cycle the blanks(Hollywood hides them in the barrel). Without one you will only fire one shot. If you try to fire live ammo with a BFA in place, you, and everyone around you, are going to be very sorry. So no BFAs seen, no BFAs being surreptitiously removed, means all those festive blue and red mags(a key plot point) wouldn't have worked as they needed them to.
-Normally, there is no rope installed on top of a 747 wing at the leading edge, but one is seen clearly when McClane jumps from the helicopter.
-No fuel dump lever installed on pylon. To what end? Refuelers can empty tanks through the same system they use to fuel the aircraft and pilots can dump fuel while still in the cockpit. They rarely crawl out to the engines while in flight...even with that mysterious rope.
- you cannot see anyone on the wing, near the fuselage, while looking over your shoulder, seated in the cockpit, even the wingtip is a stretch.
-Fuselage doors are meant to lock into their surrounding structure to withstand the internal pressure at altitude and to transfer structural loads while in flight. Their edges are all locking mechanisms, not the smooth white plastic depicted in the film. The over wing door looks like it was carved out of 8" thick Styrofoam and would be just about as useful. More like a cheap set you'd find in a HS production of DH2 The Musical rather than a big budget flick.
As you seem to be some kind of expert on aviation, let me ask if there would even be an ejection seat on a cargo plane - even a military one
Wo wo hey hey hey, slow down there.
That DH2 is at christmas again is definitely NOT a sin - it is the reason why we have at least 1 good Christmas-movie :)
ABaumstumpf krampus was good
Without this movie, 'Reindeer Games" would never have happened, you're absolutely right.
You missed the "glock 7", you know the all-porcelain gun made in germany... costs a months salary...
john panoulias yay im not the only one that noticed that. I watched this movie when it first came out long before people used the word triggerd but when he said that i was definitely triggered lol
john panoulias Yes, it is strange they didn't notice that, this sentence has several sins on it. Also it is very famous mistake.
As a Glock owner, that line was worth 50 sins.
If I'm not mistaken, there are many airports close to Dulles where those planes can divert to which should render Stuart's terror plot invalid even before he executes it.
When it comes to invalid plots we all knew it was all along cos he's doin life in Shawshank isn't he
Here is something you missed. We are led to believe that the circling planes for whatever reason can't use the British Airways plane going up in a fireball as a guide to landing (what, they didn't see the massive orange fireball in the dark??). Yet when Col. Stuart's 747 goes up in a fireball, every plane circling Dulles can see Holly's plane use it and also uses it as their guide.
I don’t believe it was British Airways. No actual airline allowed their name to be used in this movie.
I took that the British plane didn’t leave a trail and they were to high up to see but the other planes at the end were already dropping altitude trying to land so they saw the fire through the storm. And nobody shot McClane when he fired blanks because he is a fellow cop and a national hero. I got lots of explanations. I love this movie.
yippee ki-yay mr. falcon!

Ur family let u watch Die Hard 2 at 10?? Legend parents right there...
The nude work out scene was the actor’s choice. He just did it and the director essentially said ... “I like it”. Also, my first flight ever was out of Dulles. In 1992, and as a kid I was able to see the control tower, the cockpit, IN FLIGHT, and when my father worked in DC he went on quite the business trip, and I got to see the Concord land there. As well as the plane they typically used for Air Force One (which is not called that unless the President is on board). Also it was the first 747 I ever saw. Never been lucky enough to fly on one or an A380 either. A3-something for my 4 international flights. Also I love the Die Hard series except the PG-13 one. And I love McClain’s M9 great gun!!! And hey even Robert Patrick had to get his start somewhere... I can’t wait to hear what you have to say about the blanks.
Uh, that "Homeless guy" is the janitor. * ding *
Seeing as this is your last upload in 2016, happy new year Cinemasins! :D
Couple of things you missed.
1. The payphones John McClain uses at Dulles Airport have Pacific Bell logos on them.
2. There would never be that type of action allowed at a civilian Airport. The foreign military plane would have been landed at Andrews Air Force Base. Also, the plane was coming from somewhere in South America, why wouldn't they land the plane at Homestead Air Force in Florida why would they go through to Washington and fly into a massive snowstorm? Dumb planning!
3. We see the terrorists crash a jetliner we are told twice is low on fuel. If it is so low on fuel why does it explode in a massive Fireball?
4. There is no such thing as an ejection seat on a cargo plane or any pressurized aircraft. Only canopy fighter jets have ejector seats.
5. Airport runways never have tunnels running underneath them, when you have aircraft away half a million pounds slamming on to them at over a hundred miles an hour you want nothing but solid underneath.
How could you NOT sync "Beat it" with the group of bad guys leaving their hotel rooms? That was a match made in heaven.

SlowlyRollingBoulderDash my point exactly
I think a sin should have been removed for this being the first action movie I can think of where a bullet fired through a plane didn’t create a magical explosive decompression sucking vortex. Also, how’d you miss the Glock 7?
Buthow could it suck, when the wind is blowing INTO the cockpit at several hundred kph?
"Made of porcelain so it won't set off a metal detector. So is the recoil spring, the ammunition, and the spring in the magazine."
Or however that quote goes. People were actually freaking out about Glocks due to this movie.

depending on the altitude, yes, you will be sucked out of the window.
in fact, back in 1990 it did happen to British Airways Flight 5390, window on captain side was improperly secured with to short screws and gave out 20 minutes after take off at 5300 m (17300 ft) one of the windscreen panels on the captains side gave out and sucked him halfway thru the window, only reason he is alive is because his knees got caught on his flight controls, and a flight attendant grabbed his belt and held on for dear life despite suffering severe frostbite and exhaustion, he was replaced by 2 other attendants who held on the captain until landing.
another similar event happened in china to Sichuan Airlines 3U8633, this time it was the co-pilot and it was at 9750 m (32000 ft), he survived purely thanks to still having his seat belt on, without it he would have been gone before anyone even realized what had happened.
reason it "sucks" is because the pressure outside is far less then the pressure inside, whenever a explosive decompression happens you HAVE to perform a emergency rapid decent maneuver or else you will suffocate and freeze since temperatures higher up can be as low as negative 70-80 degrees Celsius (negative 94-112 Fahrenheit)
@@theldraspneumonoultramicro405 would have to big a big hole to create an intense enough vacuum to pull an 80 kg man. Which interestingly enough the bigger the hole the less suction power due to surface area increase. The odds of being sucked out of a plane are almost as low as the odds of being sucked out of a spaceship. Slim to none
@@jimmyherman8820 there is actual multiple historical precedence of people getting sucked out, like for example the flight i mentioned in my original post, so i would say it's probably a tad bit more likely to happen then what you seem to think.
11:30 since the first jets, all aircraft had what was known as a ground proximity radar. It usually gave 2500ft warning silently, and below 1000 feet you would start to hear it scream at you telling you to pull up. Plenty of warning.
Good one about the planes. How about at 13:12, why was General Esperanza guarded (its not shown though) by ONE inexperienced guard, who he tricks and then overpowers to break free?
Fun fact: Siskel & Ebert actually considered DH2 to be the best in the franchise. Roger didn't even like the original, while Gene ranked this sequel as the 6th best film of 1990 above the likes of Dances with Wolves and Godfather 3.
jp3813 Ebert said he didn’t like Die Hard because of the character Dwayne Robinson and thought he was a useless and annoying character. After seeing the sequels he changed his mind on Die Hard and gave it a better review.

Agreed!!!!?
13:23 The discrepancy is over runway 10 or 15, which would be 5 degrees off from one another if they were real, right? Given the size of major airport runways, particularly when the 727 was still in service, this seems impossible.
It’s actually a 50 degree difference because they drop the last digit, but still, yes that angle would still likely be impossible. Also, Dulles doesn’t even have landing strips like that anyway.

To be fair, all the observation skills McClain has could be that he's a seasoned veteran cop.
Always finds human sized HVAC ducting that's strong enough to support a human, that's not insulated has no screws, stick pens or dampers.

That was a Glock 17 and contrary to what he said it's made in Austria, not Germany, and it's fully detectable by airport scanners as only the frame is plastic, the rest of the gun is made of steel. That huge misconception always pisses me off.
As much as I love all the Die Hard movies I totally have to degree, this one was probably the worst.
ok I know this is a year late, but thank you for this. That particular movie sin made me want to vomit in terror, and they didn't even mention it.
ha, I actually own a Glock 17. And yeah, the barrel assembly is all steel, and quite heavy compared to the plastic handle. There is also several metal pieces in the handle. Even when removing the barrel assembly, the handle still has a little bit of metal in it where the firing pin is and the back metal piece the barrel "rests" on and 2 "guides" one either side of the slide assembly, and the trigger mechanism.

Of the ones that matter, yeah this one is the worst. But still better than a good day to day hard. And for some reason, as bad as this one is, I still love watching it.
Old comment but I may like to point out when the Glock 17 originally came out, some older metal detectors had trouble detecting them despite all the metal within the frame, but any up to date ones had no trouble if I remember my history right.
Yall gotta do "Everything wrong with Clash of the Titans" and "Wrath of the Titans".. its alot of bullshit in there to sin.
Jeremy missed that the phone booths supposedly in Dulles Airport were all Pacific Bell phones. And also that Dennis Franz tells McClane that he violated "District of Colombia laws" when that's not where Dulles is. Overall, great job though.
After watching this CinemaSins it really makes me want to watch this amazing movie!
Then the purpose was served.
Trust me, it's not worth it. Unless you've got a thing for William Sadler's middle-aged Buns Of Steel.
Now I understand where the idea for this channel came from and why you were forced, and now willingly are, just sin "whatever". I really don't remember die-hard/2 being this, well bad, but here it is in all its glory. I was barely 3 and of course, saw it later. It seemed like a pretty damned good movie to me. Nope, you didn't ruin it for me. It's just interesting the inconsistencies when I actually sit down and think about it. Not just through your short clips(through the movie as well... is that a sin because I had to say it... haha). It's really quite amusing actually.
The use of the pager and McClaine waiting in line to use a public phone makes you realize how much has changed in such a short time.
That's not Bill Sadler, that's Death getting ready for his Twister rematch with Bill and Ted.
Cinemasins forgot a scene when you can see the pilot pushing 4 throttles in a trijet
Great pickup mate!
Missed a sin at 5:45, where Franz tells Willis he broke five District of Columbia regulations. Dulles Airport is in Loudoun County, Virginia, and not DC.
You missed some serious sins!
At #43, you let Sipowicz tell McClane that he had violated "five District of Columbia regulations" when Dulles is actually in Virginia, and not subject to DC's regulations on airport operations. (At #58, you clearly show your knowledge of Dulles' location.) *ding*
During your tirade on #73, you missed a good 10 payphones supposedly in Dulles, Virginia, but sporting the PacBell logo. *ding*
At #96, the runways mentioned are 10 and 15. The runways at Dulles are 01(/19) and 12(/30). *ding*
Merry Christmas everyone.

you're 4 days late, christmas is over. Did you not know that?
Cynical Atheist haha i was gonna call you a "Grinch atheist" or something but i dont need to because of your username. its not everyday that i see someone who is proud of the emptiness of their life.
but it IS over. XD
ALL religion should die if you really think like that.
Jack M you haven't even read Scripture, guy. Christianity is (unfortunately) not one united group. look up Eastern Orthodoxy. no death or atrocities there. just the truth.
Also, the payphone John uses is a Pacific Bell when he's supposed to be at Dulles!!
Fun fact: The reason why your eyes sting in a public pool is due to the chlorine in the pool reacting with the piss.
TheoriZe - CS:GO No so fun, then
Fuck, this reminds me when I once saw a yellow cloud appearing in the water around some guy while I was in the pool. Got out in like 2 seconds lol.
Do everything wrong with Ghostbusters 2016
Alex.2001 *E V E R Y T H I N G*
It would be better to just play the entire movie
Why not just sin the original? It's about time they did.
But I don't want to watch the entire movie.
Tim Walden Especially the russian spys who are totured with the movie, they didn't want it either
The absolutely worst part about this movie (and honestly why I hope to not waste my time watching this movie again) is the anti-military rhetoric they pushed all throughout it. Like you pointed out in Sin #31 @ 4:25 , how can one guy, in McClain, with only police academy training (granted with 15 years of real-world police experience as well, yet still only police experience) single-handedly take down an elite unit of Special-Forces-trained soldiers, who's led by men who have the same amount (if not more, when combined) of military experience as McClain does as a cop?!! This alone is why Die Hard with a Vengeance is the better sequel between the two, by a mile!!
Do everything wrong with Bee Movie
Every time the word *Bee* is said its a sin and the movie changes to a 10 hour loop of "They Don't stop Coming" Smash Mouth allstar. After each loop it switches to The WW2 documentary of WW2 In Color. Everytime a Nazi is seen it switches to the whole series of Spongebob Squarepants. Everytime Spongebob's feet make a squeaking sound it switches back to Bee movie.
Dan Derps The meme isn't the only thing here that's "stupid overdone" ... 👏
Not the bees! NOT THE BEES!
Holy shit, that dude in the bear costume just decked that chick.
He can't do Bee Movie. You can't sin what is literally perfection.
Quick! What episode of the Simpsons was showed on the air plane?
The one where Homer pawns the TV so they can pay for Dr. Monroe's family electroshock therapy.
I think Die hard 2 is an underrated sequel. They did a nice job of not beating you over the head about what happened in the last movie. It was different well at the same time being similar. You really felt like Holly was in jeopardy. Nice job.
Whenever I see a little church like that, I have to check to see if it's the one where Brad and Janet got engaged.
I remember when I tested my taser (in the air). It was so damn loud!!!! There is no way you could pull it out on an plane without everyone knowing about it.
