2 plot holes in this scene. 1st. Why didnt zeus vouch for john, they were together the whole day and on the boat, and 2nd Zues didnt have kids, those kids in the movie were his nephews.
To the nerds: "In the DVD audio commentary, screenwriter Jonathan Hensleigh claims that this version was dropped because the studio thought it showed a more cruel and menacing side to McClane, a man who killed for revenge rather than in self-defense."
@TBStudios91 wikipedia said that "unlike the rocket launcher sequence, [the draft for the second alternate ending with mclane and zues sending back the water jug bomb] was never actually filmed" at least that what it says now
This ending and the theatrical ending are both mediocre. The theatrical ending felt like it was just rushed at the last minute, and this one feels less Die Hard. I love the film, but the ending was never truly satisfying.
this would of been a good ending,it would aof shows a more sadistic side of Mcclaine and It would of left it off in another direction when a sequel would be made
i remember reading the novel to this for a book report there in the late 90s, and this was the ending of the book, and I thought wow... that's INTENSE.
@Cemente25 he said something like one of the two robbers was the father of the other ones son so that makes both of the robbers having the same kid (husband and wife)
Screw the people who leave critical comments on this video. This is one of the most thought through and intelligent endings I have ever seen in an action movie.
Thanks to people like that, we will never actually see one like this in the cinema and thanks to them, Die Hard 4 and Transformers 2 are a reality!
@mblizzle09 the whiskey want poisend. The good guy brought a bomb and the only way for the bad guy to survive would have been to wear explosion safe clothing, just like the one mclane was wearing when the rocket launcher fired both ways.
@ASKaPHYSICIST mmm.... but.. where's McClane's helmet and eye protection? And he had a "flak jacket" (that's what he said), but those are not designed to survive close range explosions, shock-waves, or direct impacts. Also that weapon had slow muzzle velocity, the rocket was supposed to hit Simon's chest and blow with everything in front of him, McClane included, instead of going through like a glowing high-speed-bullet.
But you are a physicist, you are supposed to know all that stuff.
@PopMusic1985@PopMusic1985 A rocket doesn't have to carry large amounts (or even any) explosives. It's defined by the fact that it's self-propelled. As a physicist I know that. But I understand your confusion.
Of course, chances are, McLane just put an explosive in the middle and filled the tube with shrapnel and just told him it's a 'Chinese rocket launcher'.
Really though, you don't have to be a physicist to get the point.
@ASKaPHYSICIST See now you are making stuff up. Definitely it wasn't shrapnel, it was a rocket (confirmed by the script writer): there is propellant smoke trail, and a small blast in the wall after (unrealistically) going through Simon. And even without explosion, still McLane didn't have any head protection to survive the launcher's rear flash and blast without injuries. All soldiers are warned not to stand behind a rocket launcher due to the dangers: that's a fact, and there is no confusion.
@ASKaPHYSICIST Get the DVD, the writer explains his concept was that McClane was wearing a flak jacket to survive the rocket (not realistic, but whatever). He never mentioned replacing the rocket.
Play the DVD in slow motion, or watch the scene here, at about 5:36 Simon pressed the trigger; 5:37 the rocket goes through Simon; 5:38 the rocket explodes behind Simon; 5:39 McClane survives without a bomb squad helmet (not even a scratch or burns on him.) It was a rocket: that's a fact.

@breisgaubrasilianer It IS Hungarian. Believe me. I am Hungarian. There are some words I can't recognise because of the accent (the accent is a little bit funny:)), but it isn't a fantasy language.
The waitress says: "Kávé, uram." which means: "Coffee, sir."
Simon (Jeremy Irons) : "Nagyon kedves, köszönöm." which means: "Very nice, thank you."
When he shouts he must say something like: "Pincér! ??? el. ??? el. Rögtön! ???". It means exactly: "Waitresses! Go away! Get the hell outa here!"
@roscasy Én is arra gondoltam, hogy azt mondja, de inkább, mintha 'sz' betű lenne a szó közepén (vagy a hang nagyon rossz)... Amúgy, tényleg azt mondhatja :) (A "Rögtön!"-t meg kihagytam a fordításból :))
Azért tetszik, hogy valaki kiatalált nyelvnek hiszi... :)
Actually what's funny is if you turn on the English subtitles in the German version of Die Hard 1, the dialogue translates to like 'Cat! Dog dog dog! Cat cat!'. They just chose German sounding words since they knew the audience would never know.
@armageddon9999 It was a riddle about a man riding 18 hours into town on Sunday and riding 18 hours out of town on Sunday.....sound impossible but the horse's name is Sunday.
"bad motherfucker" I loved this series along with the Lethal Weapon, Alien, Terminator and short lived Bad Boys series. They don't make them like they use too...well, maybe if Transformers nail pt 3. One was good, part 2 went down somewhat, so I hope they nail part 3.
@fivepoint0008 In my opinion, being I grew up with the original transformers cartoon, I hope the new one is good because the second one was not good. So, with those bookends at least, again in my opinion it would be good if it continues getting back to basics. I don't know how much anyone else liked it,but it will be a nice series tome....it is no where near as good as other movies series though, I would never claim that.
I'm sorry that seemed too dark for McClane. Yeah he's tough and he has been pretty brutal in a fight, but that was a bit too much. But otherwise the scene itself is pretty cool and cleverly written.
Great ending but what would have been poetic justice would be that Zeus and John would capture simon and put him in the middle of harlem with the sign that mclane wore in the beginning
Badass ending. You know, they dropped this ending down because it couldn't open a possibility for a sequel, hence another opportunity to make big bucks at the box office.
Thanks for posting this, this alternate ending is cool. I'm just curious where did you get this because it's not on the dvd, at least I don't think it is. I know they make an 8 disc set called the ultimate collection where you get all 4 movies plus a bonus disc per movie. Now I own the collection where you get the 3 movies and one bonus disc and this is not in that set. Please does anyone because i would like to own this.
@TisLiberte Its on the 2 Disc Special Edition of Die Hard 3 ... that dvd version is nice anyway.. dvd commentary from McTiernan, lots of making of stuff etc..
@TisLiberte It is. Do you have the "all 3 die hard movies in one pack" pack. Make sure you put disc 2 of the third movie in because it has all special features. And it will be there.
I'm glad this wasn't the real ending. McClane has been sacked from the NYPD, if he was sacked from the NYPD there wouldn't have been Die Hard 4.0 (Which I enjoyed) and the ending doesn't really match up to the other films endings (Hans falling, Plane exploding, Gun shot to bad guy through bullet wound) this ending is dull and boring. Atleast Yippee Ki Yay Motherfucker was in this ending :)
This was the better ending , not the theatrical one .... MacClane is an outcast . An anti-hero , a symbol like snake plissken of liberal america . He smokes , he drinks hard ,he swears .And above everything else he loves to fuck with every jerkass relying on his sole legal authority to enforce decision . He's not the brighest bulb in the box but he has good instinct and always rises to the occasion. That what's make us root for him . Getting him sacked of the police would have been logical .
I would've thought that both would get killed by fireing a grenade launcher like that. The one that gets hit by the grenade would obviously die but wouldn't the other by the exaust bit?? and wouldn't the grenade explode killing both of them?? I know John was wearing the jacket, i'm just seeing it from Simon's perspective.
@Weeble68 yeah the whole rocket launcher thing was kinda shaky, i think McClane should have done a Princess' Bride kinda thing and used poison which he built an immunity too lol
@spike378 Dude. Listen again to his part of the dialogue please and this time with your volume to the MAX. McClane clearly says, "He forgot his flak jacket, that's what he forgot. Yippie ki yay mother fucker...."
@RadHunterXD haha I guess you never play simon says as a kid. Feel sry for you. To make it more obvious, mcclane didnt say "McClane says" so the any answers will be wrong.
@mandingasexlove Two suspects the youngest one "The father of the other's son" (The other was his wife, they had a son) Hope this helped. I had to listen to it a couple of times cuz Bruce mumbles it and fast!
I'm happy they've taken the other ending. This one is boooring. It's kinda weird, but, hey, it's fucking John Mc Clane, HE has to kill the badguy, not the badguy himself :-D
WAY out of character for McClane to commit cold blood murder. It was also lame that he was fired from police.
Also it was lame to state that McClane traced the bottle of aspiring: why Simon would go back to his previous known neighborhood and/or keep using his real name after stealing thousands of Millions in gold?
@Jackalofdeath you are very retarded and you can't read: McClane got that bottle of pills in Simon's ship in NY, and now he claims he traced the batch number to a pharmacy "right down the street", so after all that time Simon is still living in the same block in which he was living before going to NY even when everybody is looking for him and he didn't even bother to change his appearance.
And "you fucking retard" show respect and stop acting like child if you want to be respected.
McClane had a gun and he made it very clear that he would shoot Simon if he cheats; so turning the launcher side-ways was NOT an option. That make it murder from the legal point of view.
The real McClane was not a sour-loser or some psycho murderer. In all the Die Hard movies he has always been portrayed as an "honest cop."
And the whole scene was very unrealistic, at that distance the explosion was supposed to be a lot more violent and BOTH were supposed to die.
@ASKaPHYSICIST "You can turn this where ever you want" little kid
The guys in the plane were armed, not giving up, and they refused to turn on the airport's computers so he could safe his wife and all the other people in the planes, when McClane burned their plane he created the lighting all the planes needed to land safety, he has no choice but to burn that plane, SO the that fits well within his character.
Next time pay more attention before you spill your idiocy all over the place, kid.
@kirk85kirk What is your point you retarded monkey?? Murder is murder. You can always come up with a justification for it, that doesn't change the act. Besides, he could have lit the petrol after they took off, that would have been sufficient. He wanted to kill them. At least Hans he gave a way out.
@ASKaPHYSICIST I don't agree with you, the guys in the plane were about to kill a bunch of innocent people while escaping, including McClane's wife, and that was a legal justification for McClane to kill them. On the other hand Simon was unarmed, had nowhere to run, and nobody else was in danger.
And it's not cool that you take it personal insulting people that doesn't agree with your "opinion." It's just a movie, man.
@ASKaPHYSICIST Wow so you must be like what? 10 years old? What about growing up? You just use insults because you have no intelligent arguments.
Do you realize you are acting like a psycho over a movie? I'm going to make some screen capture of your psychotic comments and rants to show everyone what's the real "science guys."
@riosv19 why, doesn't your mommy believe you when you come crying to her otherwise?
For real man, no one forces you to talk with me and thanks to a thing called 'freedom of speech' I have a right to express myself as emotively as I want about any topic I want.
I'm sorry this offends you, but you have to learn how to deal with it. I'm probably not the most unreasonable person you will encounter on the internet.
@kirk85kirk It was a small explosive device...there were explosive devices that could have done that. And in terms of McClane being an honest cop...does the whole 'honest cop' genre work for 5 or 6 films? No because people get bored of it. I reckon this kind of ending would have been brilliant because it would have shown more depth in McClane as a character and would have opened him up as someone else. Of course everyone has there opinions so I respect your opinion.
reason people not to kean on this ending cus theres no 'Di hard' music...i gurantee if that was added..they would like thuis ending better..it shows us a diff side to john..i like this ending better
@mayhem: Well, first of all, who the hell do you think you are to criticize me like that? Second, here's what I meant. I mean that the yippee ki ay motherfucker line is the most memorable line from the first three movies. Yes, they had it in DH4, but they cut it off. I know that they were trying to make a die hard film that was more family friendly, but Look at Robocop 3. They toned it down, and it sucked. DH4 doesn't suck, but it's not the same without that famous line.
@Sutidude It wasn't meant to be more family friendly family firendly is the film you can take 2 year olds to see this was meant to appeal to old fans and teens teens 17 and up nothing more.Ok so they cut it of? just because it's memorable doesn't make it the best part of the movie that's like saying you can't do pokemon without saying "gotta cath em all"(that is what they say on that stupid show right?) cuting the cursing out didn't doing anything to the story on the dc it feels forced.
@Sutidude i criticized because your defending him even though he has no argument and then you act as though i'm wrong when all i did was bring facts to the table what facts did he bring for him to be right?.
@mayhem9024 Ya know I would love to cuss you out...say the nastiest things. But I'm sure you're too young for me to be that harsh to. I WILL say you're a nasty, petulant twat... what a stink demeanour. I first criticized the movie -- THE MOVIE!! -- you're the cretin that somehow took it to a personal level. ...when all I did was joke about the shitty, teen Die Hard >>> with it's Shite writing... TV sit-com level crap about Starwars and nerds and teen crushes....and the lamest action since xXx.
@mayhem9024 and yeah...you're also a blasted liar-- sure of it. I caught you in a lie and you feed me step father bull. You said ""My DAD'S a Die Hard fand and saw little difference in this film""...you didn't say "Jim"....If that's your step-father u refer to, then you'd have to know him LONG enough to be familiar enough to call him DAD... YET you're on about your late father the big Die Hard fan .....and let me guess...... he also LOVED LFoDH .....a 2 year old movie. .. U kid R full of crap.
@mayhem9024 In the small chance I'm wrong about your father ( which I seriously doubt ) then my apologies.... But my bullshit detector is seldom wrong. First he's so familiar to you he's dad, and then for convienience in arguement when it suits you he's "Jim"....all the while your memories are so freah about your real dad loving all the DHs....If you wanna curse and insult like a little prick, go ahead. It's just pathetic when you try to play victim and look for sympathy with fabricated stories.
@TrulyNutzy You asshole! i'm so sick of you! your apology not accepted! not only do you think you never insulted me but you also dare talk about my father! and act as though your right! you can remeber many thing's from childhood such as a favorite song.Grow up and when you can talk to me without being a jerk let me know wonder how your friends woul react to your comment's.
I never understood this ending, did mclaine actually had 50% chance of dying in his game?. When bad guys play games like this it's a win/win situation for them, there is always a trick.
@Volkodav21 No, because Chinese rocket-launchers like that one are AP as opposed to AM so the flack jacket McClane is wearing would have saved his life, yes he would have been hurt but he could still SHOOT Gruber himself. So win/win for Johnny boy.
@Dojack too menacing? that's why it wasn't used by studios they felt it wouldn't allow a sequel but the rest of the crew consider this the true ending up until die hard 4 in which they switched they're opinions.
I dont get the cowboy riddle. Please explain?

"bad motherfucker" I loved this series along with the Lethal Weapon, Alien, Terminator and short lived Bad Boys series. They don't make them like they use too...well, maybe if Transformers nail pt 3. One was good, part 2 went down somewhat, so I hope they nail part 3.

@fivepoint0008 In my opinion, being I grew up with the original transformers cartoon, I hope the new one is good because the second one was not good. So, with those bookends at least, again in my opinion it would be good if it continues getting back to basics. I don't know how much anyone else liked it,but it will be a nice series tome....it is no where near as good as other movies series though, I would never claim that.

I'm sorry that seemed too dark for McClane. Yeah he's tough and he has been pretty brutal in a fight, but that was a bit too much. But otherwise the scene itself is pretty cool and cleverly written.

Thanks for posting this, this alternate ending is cool. I'm just curious where did you get this because it's not on the dvd, at least I don't think it is. I know they make an 8 disc set called the ultimate collection where you get all 4 movies plus a bonus disc per movie. Now I own the collection where you get the 3 movies and one bonus disc and this is not in that set. Please does anyone because i would like to own this.

I'm glad this wasn't the real ending. McClane has been sacked from the NYPD, if he was sacked from the NYPD there wouldn't have been Die Hard 4.0 (Which I enjoyed) and the ending doesn't really match up to the other films endings (Hans falling, Plane exploding, Gun shot to bad guy through bullet wound) this ending is dull and boring. Atleast Yippee Ki Yay Motherfucker was in this ending :)

This was the better ending , not the theatrical one .... MacClane is an outcast . An anti-hero , a symbol like snake plissken of liberal america . He smokes , he drinks hard ,he swears .And above everything else he loves to fuck with every jerkass relying on his sole legal authority to enforce decision . He's not the brighest bulb in the box but he has good instinct and always rises to the occasion. That what's make us root for him . Getting him sacked of the police would have been logical .

I would've thought that both would get killed by fireing a grenade launcher like that. The one that gets hit by the grenade would obviously die but wouldn't the other by the exaust bit?? and wouldn't the grenade explode killing both of them?? I know John was wearing the jacket, i'm just seeing it from Simon's perspective.

WAY out of character for McClane to commit cold blood murder. It was also lame that he was fired from police.
Also it was lame to state that McClane traced the bottle of aspiring: why Simon would go back to his previous known neighborhood and/or keep using his real name after stealing thousands of Millions in gold?

@Jackalofdeath you are very retarded and you can't read: McClane got that bottle of pills in Simon's ship in NY, and now he claims he traced the batch number to a pharmacy "right down the street", so after all that time Simon is still living in the same block in which he was living before going to NY even when everybody is looking for him and he didn't even bother to change his appearance.
And "you fucking retard" show respect and stop acting like child if you want to be respected.

@kirk85kirk it wasnt murder, simon could have turned the rocket launcher side-ways. BTW This ending is perfect.
ASKaPHYSICIST 7 months ago
@ASKaPHYSICIST
McClane had a gun and he made it very clear that he would shoot Simon if he cheats; so turning the launcher side-ways was NOT an option. That make it murder from the legal point of view.
The real McClane was not a sour-loser or some psycho murderer. In all the Die Hard movies he has always been portrayed as an "honest cop."
And the whole scene was very unrealistic, at that distance the explosion was supposed to be a lot more violent and BOTH were supposed to die.

btw, he murdered an entire plane worth of villains in the second part, not at all in self-defence. This is well within his character.
ASKaPHYSICIST 7 months ago
@ASKaPHYSICIST "You can turn this where ever you want" little kid
The guys in the plane were armed, not giving up, and they refused to turn on the airport's computers so he could safe his wife and all the other people in the planes, when McClane burned their plane he created the lighting all the planes needed to land safety, he has no choice but to burn that plane, SO the that fits well within his character.
Next time pay more attention before you spill your idiocy all over the place, kid.

@kirk85kirk What is your point you retarded monkey?? Murder is murder. You can always come up with a justification for it, that doesn't change the act. Besides, he could have lit the petrol after they took off, that would have been sufficient. He wanted to kill them. At least Hans he gave a way out.
ASKaPHYSICIST 7 months ago
@ASKaPHYSICIST I don't agree with you, the guys in the plane were about to kill a bunch of innocent people while escaping, including McClane's wife, and that was a legal justification for McClane to kill them. On the other hand Simon was unarmed, had nowhere to run, and nobody else was in danger.
And it's not cool that you take it personal insulting people that doesn't agree with your "opinion." It's just a movie, man.

@kirk85kirk It was a small explosive device...there were explosive devices that could have done that. And in terms of McClane being an honest cop...does the whole 'honest cop' genre work for 5 or 6 films? No because people get bored of it. I reckon this kind of ending would have been brilliant because it would have shown more depth in McClane as a character and would have opened him up as someone else. Of course everyone has there opinions so I respect your opinion.

@mayhem: Well, first of all, who the hell do you think you are to criticize me like that? Second, here's what I meant. I mean that the yippee ki ay motherfucker line is the most memorable line from the first three movies. Yes, they had it in DH4, but they cut it off. I know that they were trying to make a die hard film that was more family friendly, but Look at Robocop 3. They toned it down, and it sucked. DH4 doesn't suck, but it's not the same without that famous line.
