You thought Die Hard 3 was that bad?

It was no 1 or 2 and if not for the "my brother" connection it was probably the first "let's cast bruce willis in an action role, and ooh look the die hard name is available if we pay for it". As a general heist/police action/buddy cop romp though I quite enjoy it and could stand to watch it again and possibly again a few years after that, or if on a plane/winding down from a party as a fun film to watch.
On the other hand I am never going to watch 4 again (saw the early uncut DVD version when I did) and have not even considered seeing 5.


If we are doing police films though
Hard Boiled (1992)

If you are doing police films then I don't think John Woo ever topped this (though some things came close, I can even almost forgive him for doing more damage to my trade than anything else* with that Paycheck film from 2003 because this is that good). I don't want to spoil it but can say it has some absolutely amazing gunplay, some decent villains and a main character that fits everything superbly. It is a long one but get it in the right mood and it is more of a "have I really been sitting here this long" type deal rather than a slog to the finish.

*it is to reverse engineering what a daytime soap set in a hospital is to medicine.

My biggest problem with Die Hard 3 is it just doesn't feel like a Die Hard film. And the reason for that is because it was never meant to be a Die Hard film. A script was written for Die Hard 3 that was set on a ship and all aboard ended up being taken hostage.The only problem being that just as they were about to start filming it Under Siege came out and pretty much had the exact same story.

The film that did become Die Hard 3 was originally written as a film called Simon Says and was set to star Brandon Lee. But as we know Lee died whilst filming the Crow. The writer then rewrote Simon Says as the script for Lethal Weapon 4 but Joel Silver decided to then go with another script for 4.

The producers of Die Hard 3 were desperate for a script after the Under Siege debacle and came across the script for the Lethal Weapon rewrite of Simon Says. They simply rewrote Riggs parts to be John Mcclane. And Murtaugh got changed into Zeus Carver. And Simon became the brother of Hans Gruber

I literally knew NOTHING about this movie going in, except it had to do with the same guys
that did Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. I totally forgot about this.

When I sat down to watch it the first like 20 - 30 minutes or so , you think
ok I see where this is going, its just a funny romp....and then!!! .......It COMPLETELY
shifts gears into something I totally didn't expect!

I didn't even see the movie poster for this! So I had ZERO clue where this was going.
It's zany , wacky and crazy!... and if you even remotely like Shaun of the Dead.... you're gonna like this.

Oh and Rosamund Pike is in this....
god I love that woman.

Funny,Die Hard 3 (Stirb Langsam) is the badest Movie "again" because of the Synchronisation (again)...
Nobody knows about Gruber´s Brother ..
Why ?
Because "Die Hard 1" was so bad Synchronised/censored before....

In der amerikanischen Originalversion handelt es sich bei den Verbrechern, die das Hochhaus in ihre Gewalt bringen, zum Großteil um deutsche Terroristen, ehemalige Mitglieder der fiktiven „Radical West-German Volksfrei Movement“ (mit Ausnahme der beiden Italiener, dem Afroamerikaner Theo und Uli, einem Asiaten). Ihre Verständigung erfolgt meist auf Englisch, teilweise aber auch in bruchstückhaftem Deutsch mit amerikanischem Akzent. In der deutschen Synchronversion werden sie in eine europäische Gruppe Krimineller umgedeutet; möglicherweise radikale Iren, da die meisten der Namen englisch sind. Aus Hans wird Jack, aus Karl wird Charlie usw.[5] Allerdings notiert sich McClane in einer Szene die Namen einiger Terroristen in Originalform auf den Unterarm, als (so das deutsche Skript) Spitznamen von bösen Märchenfiguren.

In the original American version, the criminals who take control of the skyscraper are mostly German terrorists, former members of the fictional "Radical West-German Volksfrei Movement" (with the exception of the two Italians, the Afro-American Theo and Uli, an Asian). They are mostly communicated in English, but sometimes also in fragmentary German with an American accent. In the German dubbed version they are reinterpreted as a European group of criminals; possibly radical Irish as most of the names are English. Hans becomes Jack, Karl becomes Charlie, etc. [5] However, in one scene McClane notes the names of some terrorists in the original form on his forearm, as (according to the German script) nicknames of evil fairy tale characters.


And that makes the 3rd Part also unwatchable in German....(and not only Bruce Willis has not his German Standard Voice)

Für die deutschen Zuschauer war die Zuordnung der Personen etwas problematisch, da in der deutschen Synchronfassung der Name des Terroristen im ersten Teil der Reihe von Hans in Jack geändert wurde, im dritten Teil wird auf ihn allerdings als Hans Bezug genommen; sein Bruder Simon ist nun auch in der synchronisierten Fassung ein Deutscher und stammt aus der ehemaligen DDR.

For the German viewers, the assignment of the people was a bit problematic, as in the German dubbed version the name of the terrorist was changed from Hans to Jack in the first part of the series, but in the third part he is referred to as Hans; his brother Simon is now German in the dubbed version and comes from the former GDR.

I really can't see why people hated this movie.
Brie Larson's role is nearly perfect according to the Captain Marvel comics I've read.
Her attitude in the movie is the same as in the comics, although a little bit less sarcastic... granted.

But overall good.

For those who know me already, Brie belongs to my waifus list since I can remember (literally since I met her in early 2000s when she sang before acting)

Also, can I mention the fact that the movie takes place in 1995?

Not only the movie is well edited continuously. This is the first time I felt like predicting the movie's actions and left me squared when I saw that my predictions were wrong.

Add Nirvana, Elastika, No Doubt and other 90s music bands to top it, a couple arcade cameos here and there... and take out the ugly cgi cat that looks awful, and voila, nearly as good as IronMan 1.

Seriously guys, this movie was aimed directly at me. It gathers everything I like:
90s
Brie Larson
Games Cameos
Grunge music
Cats
Comics

ಥ‿ಥ oh yeah...!!!

Watched something. Not sure it counts as a film but if I had that compilation earlier then I will go this, not least of all because most of the parts tell a bigger story.
Sound & Fury
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10682000/

Something of a 40 minute animated music video (anime to something of a US country composed/performed soundtrack, in this case Sturgil Simpson). Being as it is songs rather than the whole film I guess I am now getting away with posting music videos in the films thread (light spoilers I guess, probably also one of the better tracks)


That and the other video done in the same style are probably the best two songs (definitely don't watch that if you want to avoid spoilers), and is a fairly basic story otherwise. It would not be the first time I watched a film with an album playing in the background, nor an anime music video. Would be the first time I watched a full length one though with an actual composed backing rather than a fan made something.
