Obviously Die Hard

EDIT: This fucked up, some admin please help

Sortered.

Thanks Baz

I doubt you'll get a great deal of argument on this one.

Yes I think it's a pretty sure thing.

Although the third was ace too, waaaaay better than most thirds.

The third ones good.
The seconds worth a watch.
But the first is just OHMYGODI'MCUMMINGINMYPANTS good

Yeah, I preferred the third over the second - although it is very derivative in places. Some good dialogue and snappy action scenes.

What is the point of this poll? The first was inarguably the best.

This is the point, scroll down to the last post on this page

Nah Pete!!!

*afraid*

*me too*

The first. The other two are poor imitations.

A post about Trainspotting?

How's that relevant?

Nakatomi Plaza!
Alan Rickman as a German!
Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!

Hunt the little shit down

Now I have a machine gun. Ho Ho Ho.

Love that quote. It's all in Rickman's pronounciation and delivery.

Hmm, it's not unanimous...I'm surprised.

I'd forgotten just how much fun Die Hard is until I rewatched it a few years back. Me and my mate subsequently spent half a day driving around LA trying to spot the building...

Just a fly in the ointment, Hans. The monkey in the wrench. The pain in the ass.

I have the TV edited version somewhat etched into my mind:

"Oops, no bullets! You think I'm freakin' stupid Hans?"

Takagi: You'll just have to kill me.

Hans Gruber: Okay.

[Blood!]

*DING!*
"You were saying?"

"That's a very nice suit, Mr Takagi. It'd be a shame to ruin it."

"By the time he figures out what happened, he'll be in a bodybag!"
"When they touch down, we blow the roof. They'll spend a month sifting through the rubble, and by the time the firgure out what went wrong.... we'll be sitting on a beach, earning 20 per cent."

"After all your posturing.... all your little speeches...., you're nothing but a common thief."
"I am an exceptional thief, Ms Ginera, and seeing as how I'm moving up to kidnapping, you should be more polite!"

With A Vengeance is best.

Simon>Hans
Zeus>Argyle
New York City>Nakatomi building

Better soundtrack, intro, plot devices, stunts, lines...and Simon's plot is just so well put together.

Fort Knox? HA! It's for tourists!

The only thing lacking is no Let It Snow at the end.

The dickhead Deputy Chief is my favourite character. He`s got some great throwaway lines as have the 2 FBI characters Johnson and Johnson.
Best line is the newsreader who smugly says Helsinki is in Sweden. The look on his face as he`s corrected is Priceless.

The Quarterback IS toast.

"They're shooting at the lights."
"...they're shooting at the lights!"
" "

as i say scroll down to the last post.

I did.

Maybe other people have different board settings to you.

...and a decent ending. And Hans Gruber. And Holly McClane. And some of the most quotable movie dialogue ever. And be the action movie that set the bar for action movies until The Matrix came along nearly a decade later.

Heres the post that started it all

Fascinating.

Didn't have a problem with the ending though I suppose it was somewhat of a anti-climax. The slomo shot of Hans falling was rather cool.

Hans Gruber wasn't that good, I preferred Simon.

Holly wasn't needed, besides, be quite unoriginal to drop McClane in yet ANOTHER situation where it's her life at stake.

I find With A Vengeance 100% more quotable. Don't FUCK with me or I'll stick a lightning bolt up your ass -- ZEUS.

I guess the poll has spoken.

Damn me, I love that quote. But my absolute fave has to be:

"Sir, this channel is reserved for emergency calls only..."
"No fuckin' shit, lady, do I sound like I'm orderin' a pizza??!!"



Oh and I, er, voted for the first one. Just in case y'all weren't sure.

I am the voice of my own god.

So you are the one they call Botmaster.
