Gaijin Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Just saw it and damn, it was just chock full of action. I was thoroughly entertained. Good $11 spent. I am definitely picking it up on Blu-ray. Best popcorn action flick in a long time. Quote
kensei Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I am definitely picking it up on Blu-ray. Best popcorn action flick in a long time. I can see me and my mates having a Die Hard night in the near future. We just had a Stallone night, and a Schwartznegger night is soon to follow. It'll be awesome. Quote
Guest sh002 Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I watched Die Hard before Transformers and was going to mention something like, "hey I saw something similar in Die Hard first." They aren't exactly the same though and that's why I didn't bring it up. Both movies have a prominent jet and truck. Both movies have a scene where a hacker's lair is visited and the hacker yells to the grandmother or mom to not disturb them in their private space. Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 well, i'm picking this up tomorrow morning, i was kinda wondering which edition i should get... any ideas? Quote
myk Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Format? Blu-ray of course. As for content, I'm only aware of either the 1 or 2 dvd sets, the latter being filled with more featurettes and stuff for the die hard fan of, er-Die Hard. Are there more editions out there? Quote

Are there more editions out there? well, i would get the blu-ray version if i had a blu-ray player or a ps3 i've only seen an unrated edition w/ a metal box from bestbuy and a walmart edition w/ featurette....besides that, all stores will carry a the widescreen and fullscreen versions of the movie uncut, pg-13 version, and the collectors edition (which may be the one worth getting) Quote
VT 1010 Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 The unrated version is only available on DVD. If Blu-ray isn't of any signifigance to you, I'd get the DVD version. A Die Hard movie should not be PG-13. Quote
myk Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! Why would they leave the DVD unrated while the uber-format gets the My-Little-Pony treatment? Quote
Mercurial Morpheus Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Good to hear the theater cut is available. I never watch a DC first if I can, so I might rent the theater cut first. They didn't "King Arthur" it did they (first cut in pan and scan only)? I missed it in theaters. Quote
Apollo Leader Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Well last night I was at a Best Buy and ended up splurging on the steel case versions of all 4 movies. Hadn't got any of the Die Hard movies on DVD before and I thought these 2-disc steel case sets would look good in my collection. Quote
kanedaestes Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Good to hear the theater cut is available. I never watch a DC first if I can, so I might rent the theater cut first. They didn't "King Arthur" it did they (first cut in pan and scan only)? I missed it in theaters. I don't think there is a difference except maybe the language and blood. The run times for the DC and theatrical are the same so there isn't extra footage i believe. Quote
kanedaestes Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Okay so i am having a Die Hard marathon and the unrated Live Free or Die Hard is great. I saw it in the theaters and the only real difference is that now it is an R rated movie since McClane is dropping the F bomb left and right. Which is good because it fits his character. I know there are a ton of arguments of PG-13 vs R especially in this case but i do prefer an R rated Die Hard because it is more in line with the others. Just my 2 cents Quote
bsu legato Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 What about the virtual lack of blood squibs in the shootouts? Has anything been cut back in? Quote
kanedaestes Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Um it didn't look like it but you know after watching it again there weren't too many shots were you should see tons of blood watching, and the shots that were like that the camera was moving fast so it masked it. There is still a reasonable amount of blood though. And if you are wondering the F bombs are just dubs as i was first thinking they were, looks like the shot the whole movie intentionally to release it like this. PG-13 for theaters, R for the DVD was isn't a bad idea i guess if you are trying to make a huge gross off of the theatrical run. Quote
myk Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Dubbed in F-bombs? That's funny. Does it sound anything like Hercules in New York, or does it actually sound proper? Quote
kanedaestes Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Its proper. It isn't dubbed either, they actually just reshot a lot of scenes, or they would cut the scene early in the theatrical version right before they would say the word. There are plenty of close ups of people saying it. Quote
Mercurial Morpheus Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 If that's about it, then I guess I can't complain. I'm just wary of the "unrated" craze lately. Thanks for the heads up, kanedaestes. Quote
kanedaestes Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 Yeah i hate the unrated craze too but this is the first movie that makes sense in that fashion. Getting the most money on theatrical release and then release the DVD as the movie was intended to be. Personallly i think they should just release the R rated versions, they still make money. Not as much as a PG-13 or CGI animated dreamworks or disney crap fest but they still make money. 300, American Gangster and all the recent R rated comedies of late are proof of that. Quote

Vermillion21 Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 This must be some new marketing ploy for the DVD re-re-release of the DIE HARD movies, maybe?? Quote
promethuem5 Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 My first foray into the Die-Hard world was LFoDH, which was AMAZING! My friends and I then watched the first DH, and that was also incredible... we were then utterly shocked and horrified by how bad the middle two are. They should really just sell DH and LF as a set and pretend With a Vengeance and Die-Harder don't exist. Quote
kanedaestes Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 I will agree that Die Harder was bad, but Die Hard with A Vengence was pretty good, if nothing else very entertaining. Quote
eugimon Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 the third die hard movie wasn't too bad, if only because of the chemistry between sam jackson and bruce willis and bruce willis and jeremy irons. Quote
Apollo Leader Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 WTF kind of drug is Fox on? http://www.anationforchange.com/ That's pretty funny. A few days ago me and my dad were talking about the presidential primaries and stuff and my dad kept calling John McCain "John McClane". Quote
