Movie Night Watch Party Megathread

OK BOOMER

Some of the most famous action sequences from the film are taken from the book:

  • McClane crawling through HVAC ducts.
  • McClane dropping a C-4 bomb down an elevator shaft.
  • McClane jumping off an exploding roof with a fire hose attached to his waist and then shooting through a window to gain re-entry.
  • McClane taping his gun to his back at the climax.

I swear if they knew this movie would become an all-time hit, the dialog would not be this wide open.

That’s what I was alluding to earlier. This was the first legit B-movie that went supernova.

I think if they had any idea how popular it would be the dialog(ue?) would be more calculated and much lamer.

Agree. Good points.

See I love love love this action sequence. Nothing totally violates all the laws of physics. Preposterous? Sure. Impossible? Well - maybe not? That’s good enough for me.

These were def not B-movie production values and effects at the time.

Does this stop you from enjoying the new Fast and Furious movies?

There was a book?

We’re gonna need some more FBI guys I guess - top 5.

Why are you the way that you are?

No I was fine with one. I got a little bored after that.

Skinny black guy punching skinny black guy!

Budget: $28 million

Of that, $5 million went to Bruce Willis. It was an unheard of sum and made him the highest paid film actor.
