YIPPY-KAI-YAY MOTHERFUCKER (Die Hard)

Salvation122

Live Free or Die Hard is quite possibly the best action movie ever made.

Ever.

Ever.

You know you have a good movie when you're sitting there watching the credits and it's three columns wide for twenty seconds naming all the stuntmen.

Also, gratuitous Kevin Smith! Living in a basement with his mom!

"Oh, so you're a fan of the Fett?" "I'm more of a Star Wars guy." "He's more of a... WHY THE HELL DID YOU BRING HIM HERE?!"

I laughed, I winced, I said "Holy Shit" at least a dozen times. Go see this movie.

Requires you to not think but gives you plenty to distract yourself with so I don't care.

God I just go back from this movie like 5 minutes ago. It's so fucking good.

They editted out at least a dozen "fucks" so here's to the Director's Cut! Hopefully a more pronounced "Yippee-kiyay Motherfucker". But that actual scene was so hardcore, I don't think it matter a whole lot.

Virum

Yippee-ki-yay motherfucker bit was quite possibly the best moment ever committed to film.

That said, while John McClane was kicking serious ass and it was cool, but I thought that the movie felt more like a 24 episode than a Die Hard film. The hacking was a bit overdone. So I was slightly disappointed.

Also needed a cooler villain.

At least Farrel wasn't horribly annoying - I was afraid he would be from the trailers.

I thought they played off each other very well.

He killed a HELICOPTER with a CAR

WITHOUT CGI

But I will grant you that whenever they rolled out that shitty rubber keyboard things slowed down

This movie was fucking awesome. It DID feel a bit like 24 but holy shit was it great. Mac kid did a bang up job as well.

Variable

can't read the thread at all... but I am seeing this tomorrow. totally forgot it was out.

DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID?! I FORGOT! WHAT A FUCKING PATHETIC IDIOT I AM!

goddamn it.

I can't wait.

nexuscrawler

Damn you Varible was going ot see if oyu wanted to see it Friday!

Damn you!

Variable

I can't anyway Friday, gonna be either working or down the shore.

I have to see it twice because a friend of mine is in florida. if you wait, we can all go together. he likes hard cocks as much as I do so it should be awesome.

edit - and you've met him anyway.

Overlord

So... I've never seen Die Hard. Any of them. But my interest is piqued. They have a trilogy set at FutureShop for 30 bucks. Would that be a good deal?

Variable

yeah, it would.

is it the one disk or two disk? just curious, doesn't really matter as long as you see the films themselves.

imo the best action movies, periods. the first being the absolute best.

It's a four disc set thing. They seemed to put the price up but I can still get it at Costco for the 29.99

FyreWulff

Just got back from it.

On a scale of awesome to totally awesome

it's

AWESOMETACULAR


I mean seriously, I think

He went up against every fighting style ever

and the tunnel sequence

felt strangely like a horror movie. Oh man, didn't expect that truck to come right at the screen. 3D version plzthnx

and also

"He's like a goddamn hamster!"

The Cheese

I loved this movie. So so much.

aquabat

Holy fuck, Im so glad you guys love this so much. I dont give a shit about anybody's review. You guys are my barometer

Feral

I want this movie to be successful, because it actually uses real special effects and real explosions instead of CGI.

Real special effects are almost a lost art.

MikeMan

Wow before now I was cautiously optimistic, but I trust you guys so now i'm fuckin pumped to see it.

aquabat

I gotta wait til fucking august to see goddammit

Rufus_Shinra

I would just like to point out that

shooting someone through themselves

was first done by John Woo in his awesome Hong Kong flick:


That said, Die Hard = Yes.

Woodroez

I'm pretty excited for this as well. I already have the first die hard, but I'm considering getting the collection as well...I'm pretty sure I haven't seen 2 in full.

Anyway, if you happen to like RE4 as well, fellow forumer agoaj has a trailer for you.

If only I wasn't working the night shift this week. :roll:

Bruce made a post on Aint it Cool. Hard Boiled is one of his favorite movies.

FyreWulff

Also, don't care about the rating. It's barely PG-13, and that's because they kept it to under two "fucks". Although don't be suprised if there's an unrated DVD that makes the movie a more solid R (it was said that they shot the movie as if it were R and it was edited down to PG-13)

Æthelred

Everyone here gushed over 300 as well. I'll wait.

Adrien

So I watched Die Hard this morning at work. Yeah, slow day. For obvious reasons I'd always had it pegged as a mindless action flick. How come nobody ever told me that it's actually... a good movie?

Ban yourself. Now


Also, man. I was really hesitant seeing the trailer, thought maybe it might be too over the top.

But it has the PA seal of approval, who am I to argue?

FyreWulff

there was only really one stunt that was over the top in my opinion. coicidentally, it's the only one in the entire movie that was entirely CGI.

it was

the sequence with the fighter jet

Daemon_Aconis

I just wish I hadn't seen so much of the movie in the previews.

aquabat

Die Hard is probably one of the best movies ever, period.

tardcore

I have a few minor complaints about the film, but overall it was an enjoyable experience.

I might go see it again.

The Cat

So going. Tomorrow. Imax screen, motherfuckers!

Man, I'm just so fucking pumped to see a movie that isn't an adaptation of anything. Something with some goddamn fundamentals. It's funny how now we've been so inundated with shit that we now actually crave the old tried-and-true action formula, because God knows there's at least a craft and an art to it, and it's a movie through and through, and not a fucking computer-spawned sideshow.

Your guys' reaction has made me incredibly excited. I was going to see 1408 with a friend tomorrow, because he didn't want to see the new Die Hard, but now I'm going to have to say fuck him in his asshole with Bruce Willis's bald head, because goddamnit we're seeing this film.

Pfft. Sydney Imax is so much better than other Imaxs they should be called 'imax - the less good one.'

its true, that thing is huge. The one up here actually went broke and was bought out by an independant operation though, so we get big-ass flicks for like $6 each. The only reason I'll go to a big-chain cinema like Birch Carroll and Coyle now is if I missed seeing it there.

urbman

I dont know about this movie. I have seen a lot of the stunts through previews and it seems to over the top. I remember how in the other Die hards John would get fucked up and still beat ass while barely being able to walk. Some of the previews they showed just makes him look invincible.

aquabat

Sorry Cat, gotta wait til August 9th to see this puppy.

Steev

I'm looking forward to this movie, but I probably won't get to see it this weekend...or next weekend.

What the fuck no one told you Die Hard was a good movie? I don't know anyone who doesn't like it.
