Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBruce Willis suggested Samuel L. Jackson for the movie. Jackson was thrilled. He says he's "seen the first Die Hard (1988) maybe thirty times."
- GoofsMcClane uses a mixture of the binary liquids to blow the handcuffs off Zeus on the container ship. The amount he uses would have been enough to blow at least one of Zeus' hands off (in comparison to the amounts used as a demonstration earlier on in the film).
- Quotes
Zeus: [13:02] Why you keep calling me Jesús? I look Puerto Rican to you?
John McClane: Guy back there called you Jesús.
Zeus: He didn't say Jesús. He said, "Hey, Zeus!" My name is Zeus.
John McClane: Zeus?
Zeus: Yeah, Zeus! As in, father of Apollo? Mt. Olympus? Don't fuck with me or I'll shove a lightning bolt up your ass? Zeus! You got a problem with that?
John McClane: No, I don't have a problem with that.
- Alternate versionsThe original release of the UK DVD version in 1999 was actually even more cut than the British video and cinema versions. Because the content did not exactly match the officially classified version, this much-sanitized release fell foul of British censorship laws, and was withdrawn. It was later reissued on DVD in an officially sanctioned BBFC version.
