Samuel L. Jackson Through the Years
Samuel L. Jackson Through the Years
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBruce Willis suggested Samuel L. Jackson for the movie. Jackson was thrilled. He says he's "seen the first Die Hard (1988) maybe thirty times."
- GoofsThe German spoken in the movie is pretty poor. Most of it is spoken by actors trying to speak German. Only the actor giving orders in the Stadium seems to speak German. He speaks with a Bavarian accent. He is the only one in the entire movie whose German is somewhat correct. Besides the accent, the grammar is often incorrect. It seems that they just took the English words and replaced them with German ones, without any regard for the real German grammar, which is often quite different. Furthermore, they often have people speaking English with a fake German accent. No native German speaker would sound like that when speaking English.
- Quotes
Zeus: [13:02] Why you keep calling me Jesús? I look Puerto Rican to you?
John McClane: Guy back there called you Jesús.
Zeus: He didn't say Jesús. He said, "Hey, Zeus!" My name is Zeus.
John McClane: Zeus?
Zeus: Yeah, Zeus! As in, father of Apollo? Mt. Olympus? Don't fuck with me or I'll shove a lightning bolt up your ass? Zeus! You got a problem with that?
John McClane: No, I don't have a problem with that.
- Alternate versionsThe original release of the UK DVD version in 1999 was actually even more cut than the British video and cinema versions. Because the content did not exactly match the officially classified version, this much-sanitized release fell foul of British censorship laws, and was withdrawn. It was later reissued on DVD in an officially sanctioned BBFC version.

This time his sidekick is the guru of the action film, Samuel L. Jackson, the owner of an electrical store, as he goes up against the ever excellent Jeremy irons, who can play a bad guy like few others.
Irons is executing the greatest heist ever, and the shots throughout the film are spectacular. The lack of any half decent script is completely masked by explosions, but what else would you expect?
