there’s a sequence in this movie, where a bomb explodes in the subway, that has real 9/11 vibes https://t.co/bRlAhaS7Si

i think this is very obviously the second-best die hard movie. none of these others really come close to it, and 50 percent of what makes it work is the incredible chemistry between bruce willis and sam jackson (who had *just* come off of shooting pulp fiction)

interestingly when the studio first bought the script they wanted to make the zeus character either white or korean (we’ll discuss this on the podcast) https://t.co/2rV6RyO1lL

mctiernan talking about how he tries to use three dimensional space by shooting wide and placing people and actions in the background is very interesting. https://t.co/jKgdkVM0Kc
