THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• It was originally reported that this film was forced to be edited down from an "R" rating to a "PG-13" one by the studio in order to help boost ticket sales. However Bruce Willis has said in interviews that the original intent when they started production was to make a PG-13 film despite all of the past Die Hard films being rated "R". Furthering this mystery is the subsequent release of an Unrated version of the film on DVD.
• This film went through numerous name changes. Very early in preproduction this film was titled Die Hard: Tears Of The Sun, however Willis wanted to use this name for another one of his films, so he convinced Fox to let him use the Tears Of The Sun title on the condition he would agree to do a 4th Die Hard when the script was finished. Later on the name was changed to Die Hard 4: Die Hardest, Die Hard: Reset, Die Hard 4.0 (this name was actually used for the European release of the film) before finally ending up as Live Free Or Die Hard.
• Larry Rippenkroeger, Bruce Willis' stunt double for this film, was injured when he fell more than 25 feet on to concrete breaking his wrists and several bones in his face. Willis paid out of his own pocket to put Rippenkroeger's parents up in a hotel room and made frequent personal visits to check on his recovery.
• Originally the story for this movie was supposed to revolve around McClane's son becoming an internet criminal, and John being forced to catch and deliver his son to the FBI. However that idea was scrapped and the "bad guy" was replaced with the Thomas Gabriel character, and McClane's daughter was the put in place of the son.
• Kevin Smith, a die hard Die Hard fan was able to get a role in this movie much to his chagrin.
