    I saw this movie alot on HBO in 1996. Jeremy Irons was awesome as Simon Gruber. Those riddles and puzzles were great. Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson had great chemistry.

      The script was called Simon Sez or Simon Says 📓 . The studio bought it & tweeked it. Added the Gruber angle.

      @@robertlangmuir86 I have always thought this of De Niro. He is basically always the same character with a slight mood change, but not big enough to matter. Then I saw Awakenings and saw his range. But other than that, I find him fairly overrated.

    I have NEVER understood people laughing at Die Hard 2 and saying it was crap. It's my favorite one. It's so fun, snowy/Christmasy, has a cool setting, a scary concept that could happen to any of us, and it's just a perfect action movie.

    • @ScarysReviews
      @ScarysReviews Год назад +11

      it's dark, has pretty much the same level of gnar, action as the 1st, is more Christmassy than the 1st, Solid sequel. John is tested physically, where the 1st, it was mentally, the 3rd, whit. the 4th, tested the audience, the 5th, TESTED THE FRANCHISE. 2 is 1 of the best sequels, the 5th is crap, 4, passable.

      For me it could never rise above being "Die Hard 1, but at a airport." It really is just the first film all over again. I wouldn't be surprised if they actually just re-used the same script but just added the new setting.
      I'm usually ok with sequels being a repackaged take on the original film. But for some reason Die Hard 2 isn't exciting enough to overcome quite literally being "Die Hard, again."
      First, it's largely kind of boring imo. After the first act and first big action beat the narrative just kind of lulls and spins its wheels without much energy or momentum. We're just waiting for the next action scene. I've seen the film numerous times and the film still can't really recall the film in any great detail. Airport. Terrorists. A shoot out, the money shot of McClane using the ejector seat...that's really it.
      The action itself isn't as memorable or tense as the first film, either - just generic boom-boom bam-bam stuff without the expertly executed shot composition, blocking, and editing found in McTernan's films. The villains are more bland, too. Eh, I WANT to love Die Hard 2. It's just very un-exciting.

    This is just a perfect action movie. Nuff said 😆 But seriously, John McTiernan has put the same effort he did in the first one. The script is well written (if you ignore the goofs), the characters are perfectly written, the chemistry between Willis and Jackson is crazy. All in all, Die Hard 3 cemented itself into legendary status.
    My personal favorite scene is the opening, that explosion out of nowhere without any buildup is just phenomenal.
    Also, given permission to ride thru Central Park was something I never expected.

    I work in the Federal Reserve building depicted in this movie. The gold is really there. Its the largest gold vault in the US, even larger than Fort Knox. And when you are down in the vault, you can hear the subway going by. However, the subway tunnel is much further away than what is shown in the film. In fact, that Wall Street stop was a fake. The real one is several block further south. When they were building the fake subway stop and filming the scenes there, Bank staff were watching out of the windows. One thing that drives us crazy is how easily the bad guys entered the building. I assure you there is no way you are getting in, just by saying you have “an appointment”.

    Laurence Fishburne was originally supposed to play Powell in the original.
    DH3 was supposed to have set pieces similar to the original, but nyc don’t like the idea of its city being violently portrayed, on film, so they refused to allow filming until certain violent elements were removed from the script.
    This movie is pretty much a love letter to nyc, as it seems the city itself is a character in the film.
    Also, Last Action Hero is not a bad movie. It just got released right after Jurassic Park and subsequently failed at the box office. Arnold himself said he is receiving residuals from it now.

      Me top. I was a kid in the 90s and this movie was on cable almost every day
      I’m glad it was because it was great
      It took me a few viewings to figure out the water jug puzzle

    You forgot #11 - John McClane is STILL wearing the same white/ brown shirt. Btw- remember the DJ in the film Elvis Durante? That's a real dj! I remember they closed down The Taconic for the car chase. Probably 40 miles away from NYC

    The panel truck that got flipped by the first bomb in the movie Atlantic Courier was the same brand that the Hans Gruber gang used in the first Die Hard.

    correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't actress Bonnie Bedelia offered the chance to reprise her role of Holly for this movie? I've heard rumors regarding this for decades, but haven't come across anything that confirms this.

    Facts: Die Hard With a Vengeance was released here in the Philippines as "Die Hard 3" in cinemas, and as "Die Hard 3: With a Vengeance" on TV.

    That Viagra joke at the end was awesome. 😂
    I did enjoy this installment of Die Hard, but I actually did like the second one too.
    One fact that could have been covered, and sure how you could do it without angering the RUclips censors, was the scene in Harlem with the sign which was how McClain and Zeus met.
    That scene was actually filmed in Harlem. But the sign was blank during filming, and the words were inserted in post production for safety reasons.

    I love the first, I love the third, but I still really love the 4th, Live Free or Die Hard. Justin Long and Timothy Olyphant were great and we saw an older McClane who hasn’t done anything like this in years but proves when needed he can kill them all.

    If you notice in the opening scene when the words " Die hard " appears it uses the 3 towers to the bridge for the Roman numerals 3 for die hard 3. But of course minty you didn't notice it even though the producer's etc put it right in front of us to see it's the 3rd Installment of the franchise.

    Of all the Die hard movies, this is the best and my favorite. I remember walking near Central Park and seeing a prop of the taxi coming out of the park. This movie is non stop action. I can watch this movie again and again and never get bored.

    I was 16 when this movie came to the dollar theater for a long run. My best friend & I saw DHWA six times, two of which were in the same day. It was a cheap something to do back then that was better than burn gas driving around. This was an ultra modern movie theater in 1992 or so then was switched over to a dollar theater when they took out the left half or the theaters to build out more strip mall shops. Sorry, memories just came flooding back. That friend passed away 2006 from static fibrosis which I knew he had from the day we became friends on the bus as 12 year olds.

    This is by far my favorite of the series. It still does have some Christmas references with McClane saying he was looking for a fat jolly guy with 8 reindeer, and the shoplifter kid saying "all the cops are into something, it's Christmas you could steal city hall!"

    I absolutely loved that movie, was lots of fun. I agree with you, it does feel fresh take on the character and his story arc. The only thing I can imagine why people didn’t think so might be because of movie trend at the time.

    I love all THREE "Die Hard" movies. I can't pick a favorite though. It's really great they ended this as a TRILOGY and didn't make any more movies under "Die Hard", because they would have really sucked ass, and then I'd just have to pretend they didn't exist.

    Great video. The ‘not fresh’ criticism upon release was probably due to the fact that ‘Speed’ and ‘Blown Away’ came out within a year of Die Hard3. Critics were probably tired, this being the 3rd ‘mad bomber’ to come out. Love the movie, I watched it in the theater opening weekend. McTiernan’s commentary on the BluRay is worth listening to. Cheers

    Here's another thing you didn't know, this time about the German version of the movie. Bruce Willis is voiced by German actor and voice actor Manfred Lehmann in almost all of his movies, including the Die Hard franchise, but he wasn't available for dubbing because he was busy with another production. So they replaced Manfred Lehmann with Thomas Danneberg, who is iconic among German movie lovers for lending his voice to many great stars like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, John Travolta, Terence Hill, Dan Aykroyd, Rutger Hauer, John Cleese, Nick Nolte, Adriano Celentano and the brothers Randy and Dennis Quaid.

    The second die hard was my personal favorite, because they filmed part of it in my town. They were following the snow storm that was going through town. They didn't shoot it all on a sound stage back then.
    Under Siege was a rip of Die Hard. Funny.
