WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW
DESCRIPTION:
On a snowy Christmas Eve in
the nation's capital, a team of terrorists has seized a major international
airport and now holds thousands of holiday travelers hostage. The terrorists,
a renegade band of crack military commandos led by a murderous rogue officer
(Willam Sadler), have come to rescue a drug lord from justice. They've
prepared for every contingency except one: John McClane, an off-duty cop
gripped with a deadly feeling of deja vu.
Bruce Willis returns as the heroic
cop who battles not only terrorists, but also an incompetent airport police
chief (Dennis Franz), the hard-headed commander (John Amos) of the Army's
anti-terrorist squad and a deadly winter snowstorm. The runways are littered
with death and destruction, and McClane is in a race against time. His
wife (Bonnie Bedelia) is trapped on one of the planes circling overhead,
which is desperately low on fuel.
It's all-out war, a heart-stopping,
jet-propelled journey filled with excitement and terror. Fasten your seat
belts!

FRIENDS
-
This movie was based off the book 58 Minutes by Walter
Wagner. This was written as completely separate story with different characters
and is a different author then the man who wrote the book the original
Die
Hard is based on, however it was adapted as a sequel to the film by
making changes to the stories and characters.
-
John McClane was supposed to use a Black and Decker cordless
drill in this film, the company paid 20th Century Fox to do so, however
the scene in which the drill was used was cut, and as a result they sued
Fox, making it the first product placement lawsuit in history.
-
While this film takes place in Washington D.C. this film
was originally supposed to be shot in Michigan, however there was no snow
there so they ended up filming in Detroit. Ironically, there was hardly
any actual snow fall during filming, so much of what is scene in the film
is fake snow.
-
Originally director John McTiernan was supposed to return
to direct this movie, however he had already committed to directing The
Hunt For Red October, as a result they asked Remmy Harlin to fill in.
