I'm Agent Johnson, this is Special Agent Johnson.

[Agent Desmond]

No relation

[JLTorres]

Is that from Flirting with Disaster?

[Taxman]

Is that from Flirting with Disaster?Die Hard, I believe.

But the real question is whether either are related to Agent Desmond.

[Agent Desmond]

Nope.
They're gonna need some more FBI guys, I guess.

[JLTorres]

Die Hard, I believe.

But the real question is whether either are related to Agent Desmond.
My balls are ashamed to be affiliated with me.:surrend:

[Agent Desmond]

Yup... I mean yeah it is Die Hard. And I just love the visual gag that goes with the quote.

GIVE SAM STANLEY THE GLAD HAND! HE'S COME OVER FROM SPOKANE!

[JLTorres]

"Hans, bubbie!"

[Agent Desmond]

I have to say that
A: I love the minimates figures from Die Hard
B: Hans Gruber is one of the ten best villains from the 80s, maybe ever.

[Agent Desmond]

.
Take this under advisement, jerkweed.

[NickT]

And the Quarterback is toast!

[Agent Desmond]

I am an exceptional thief, Mrs. McClane. And since I'm moving up to kidnapping, you should be more polite.

[Mike Haseloff]

Die Hard, I believe.

But the real question is whether either are related to Agent Desmond.Agent Desmond is from the Matrix. Duh.

[NickT]

Asshole? I'm not the one who just got buttfucked on national TV, Dwayne.

I got a hundred people down here and they're all covered in glass.

#'s 2 and 3 are both superior.

[Ryan Elliott]

Greatest line from the movie:


"Yippie-Kay-Yay Mother Fucker."*






*I have no idea how to spell that first part. Just guessing from the sounds the words make.

I believe it's "Ki" :)

[Agent Desmond]

What? That's like saying Return of the Jedi and Star Wars are superior to Empire Strikes Back or that Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Last Crusade are both superior to Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Hmm. Okie dokie.

[bairdduvessa]

Sadly the black cops greatest day was not in this film, no it was when he finaly killed Urkel

[Akira]

I prefer to think his greatest moment was when he let the Ghostbusters out of jail to meet the Mayor of New York.

A hundred million terrorists in the world and I gotta kill one with feet smaller than my sister.

[Genius J]

Anyone here ever read the book "Nothing Lasts Forever" that the movie was based on? It's damn good. And a lot different.

[Vroom_Socko]

Not only that, I've read the book 58 Minutes that the second movie was based on. A damn sight better than the movie.

And I've got to say, I love the Thorp novel, especially the ending.

Sgt. Powell actually shoves Dwayne Robinson in front of Karl's bullet! How I wish they'd put that in the movie.

[bairdduvessa]

but Urkel deserved to die! a. he created robots and b. he was annoying.

as for the books that someone else mentioned...no. who wrote them...?

[Vroom_Socko]

as for the books that someone else mentioned...no. who wrote them...?

Die Hard was based on Nothing Lasts Forever by Roderick Thorp. Die Hard 2 was based on 58 Minutes by Walter Wager.

Fun fact: Thorp's book was a sequel to his earlier novel The Detective. Both books starred New York cop Joe Leland, not John McClane, and The Detective was actually made into a film in 1968...

Starring Frank Sinatra.

Can you picture Ol' Blue Eyes saying "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker?" Yikes!

[RegularJoe]

"you fuckin' mother fucker i'll kill you! i'm gonna fuckin kill ya <wham!> , i'm gonna fuckin' cook ya <WHAM!> and i'm gonna fuckin eat ya!"

[Vroom_Socko]

Damnit, now I need to put the DVD in.

[Fourthman]

Oddly enough, my friend pointed out the Nakitomi building (he didn't know the real name) as we drove by it on Thursday night. You can immediately tell it's the DH1 building.

danke...er i mean thank you, yes thank you.


as for Ol' Blue Eyes,, only when he's beating a poor Irish man for not paying his protection fees on time!

[Agent Desmond]

Hush. The movie would have been better if it was reversed. Dwane had some of the best lines in the movie

You are dead to me.

You are dead to me.
he was dead the minute he touched her

"Jesus Christ Powell, the guy could be a fucking bartender for all we know."

[Mr. E!]

Theo! It's Christmas. It is a time for miracles.

Hans...bubbie...I'm your white knight

[Akira]

Hans: Touching, Cowboy. Touching. Or should I call you Mr. McClane? Mr. Officer John McClane of the New York Police Department?

John: Sister Teresa called me Mr. McClane in the Third Grade. My friends call me John... and you're neither, shithead.

Has anyone seen the remake-cum-spoof Jet Li made a while ago? The English title was "High Risk", and if you have a place to buy HK movies in your town, or if you order frequently online I recommend it.

[Agent Desmond]

Do they keep all the lines intact in the HK remake?

[TheTravis!]

"Now I have a machinegun. Ho-ho-ho."

Grrah. 5 pages in and I was thinking I was gonna be the first. :x

This didn't happen in the Thorp novel, as far as I can remember. In fact, none of these characters were in the book at all. I call shenanigans.

[Agent Desmond]

Hey, we're flexible. Pearl Harbor didn't work out so we got you with tape decks.

[J. R. Scherer]

Absolutely. He's making that shit up.

You might want to reread the book. I have it right in front of me, and it says:
Now Karl found Leland. It was exactly like looking in the mirror. Karl could see no one but Leland; Leland knew it. Robinson had his gun out, but he never got off a round. Karl shot first, as Al Powell grabbed Robinson's shoulder and pulled him into Karl's line of fire. There was a ferocity to Powell's expression that Leland would not have imagined from what he had just seen upstairs on television. Robinson backed and fell against Leland, who felt himself being hit again, in the thigh, high up. Before the shock and the weight of Robinson's body knocked him down, Leland saw Powell take careful aim and, with two clean shots, tear off the top of Karl's head in a sheet of brains and blood.

My copy is a third printing of the Ballantine edition; page 230. No shenanigans here, so put away your brooms.

I haven't read it since '88. That's my excuse for not rememberig that, anyway.

[Andrew j]

Read it a long time ago and I thought the most interesting changes were that in the book:

1 It's his daughter not his wife; and
2.he's NOT able to get the watch off in time. And right afterwards he goes fucking hardcore on one of the terrorists.
3. The bad guys have a reason not just to get rich. The movie was better in that aspect. "I read about them in Time Magazine" :lol:

Yeah--I loved that they were thieves pretending to be terrorists in the movie.

From what i remember, at least some of them stay intact, but the major similarity is that Jet Li is alone in a skyscraper against a group of terrorists.

[Need_A_Kiss]

Oh god, the Jet Li movie was absolute rubbish...

You have a Movie star who fakes his stunts, a bravado copper... and really non-sense type of action... god it was rubbish

[Agent Desmond]

They should have kept it so that Jet Li says the exact same things Bruce Willis did.
