    	Sorry, Sean - Dulles airport in Washington D.C. ( actually I think
    it's just outside the limits ).  Big flub in the movie ( supposed to be
    on the east coast, but Bruce calls someone from a Pacific Bell pay
    phone ).
    
    	I heard the 3rd movie was *supposed* to be on a cruise ship, but
    they changed the plot after Under Siege came out - no idea what they
    changed it to, though...
    
    					- Jimbo

    They changed it to New York city, with all the implicated fun one could
    have there.  :)
    
    Villian o' the piece is Jeremy Irons (one could do worse), with a
    silent German rock star (forget her name) as a silent associate
    terrorist.   Not sure what the plot is (um, villian wants to do
    something violent and grandiose, Bruce Willis gets in the way? :).

    Correction. In Die Hard 1, Bruce Willis is a New York cop who goes out
    to California to visit his wife. The skyscrapper, Yakatomi Plaza, is in
    Los Angeles, not New York.
    
    

    
    	NY/LA ... same thing.  Just on different sides of the country.
    
    	And an airport is an airport.  Here a plane, there a plane,
    	everywhere a plane plane.
    

    
    	RE: .3
    
    	Yakatomi?  How about Nakatomi?
    

re .3

.2 was referring to the upcoming DH 3, you're talking about DH 1, different
films.

    no way...out here in L.A it's 78 degrees.
    
    can only imagine how cold it is in NY.

    New Yorker's don't know what COLD is.  ;*)

    Looks like they spent a pretty penny on this one.

    Jeremy Irons as a villain.  I never imagined him in an action
    franchise.  Should be interesting to see if he blows them all out of
    the water (performance-wise, of course).

    Not that odd Alan Rickman did in the first one.   I was big on the line
    that went something like:
    
    "You ask for a miracle, I give you the FBI."
    
    and 
    
    "I guess we'll have to get some new FBI guys huh?"
    
    Yep, I reakon old Al. was one of the best scripted villains action
    movies have seen in a long time.  Perhaps this is why they've gone for
    a classically trained Brit for pt3.  I don't know who the guy was in
    pt2 but seemed a bit too colonial for me.

    	William Sadler was the "bad guy" in part II.
    

    re .11
    
    	Minor nit,
    	  The line "I guess we'll need some more FBI guys"
    	or words to that effect, were spoken by the pencil-
    	neck police Lt. "Dwayne".
    
    
    	My fav. line,
    
    	"First, I'm gonna kill ya, then I'm gonna skin ya, then
    	I'm gonna eat ya!!"
    
    
    
    				Rog

    Yep my mistake on the new FBI guys quote.  
    
    "I think I can deal with this Euro trash...."  It may not have been
    famous last words but it would heve looked good on the guys tomb stone.

 DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE [Action]
 CAST: Bruce Willis, Jeremy Irons, Samuel L. Jackson, Graham Greene,

 PRODUCER: Robert H. Lemer;
 PRODUCTION COMPANY: Cinergi Prods./Twentieth Century Fox;
 U.S. DISTRIB.: Twentieth Century Fox; INTL. DISTRIB.: Summit Entertainment;
 LOCATION: New York; START: August 3, 1994

According to my notes, Samuel L. Jackson is a cop too, and Jeremy Irons is
a mad bomber (didn't we get enough of those *last* summer?)

    DIE HARD with a Vengeance.
    
    
    Samuel L. Jackson is not a cop, he's just a small shop owner which gets
    mixed up in Willis troubles, when he stops Willis from getting killed
    by a bunch of coloured rude boys in Harlem.
    
    Jeremy Irons is toying around with Willis in revenge for the death of
    his brother in the first film. But let me assure you that its not that
    simple. There is a reason for this, and I will not spoil it for anyone
    who has not seen the film yet, by telling you.
    
    An enjoyable film, with loads of actions, but I was disappointed with
    the ending.

	Re: .-1

	While the topic title is "Die Hard 1 2 and 3", #3 actually has
	it's own dedicated topic (topic number 837).

	Maybe a moderator will want to either re-title this topic to
	just reference 1 & 2, or combine the two topics .....
