0:24 Did he shoot the rocket through the window? I've never shot a rocket launcher before, but i would think that I would break a hole in the glass before firing a rocket through it.
Im pretty sure the C4 wouldn't have detonated since he didn't detonate it, he put detonators in it but C4 doesn't explode from being dropped, its really stable.
i like how in the beginning of the movie his wife beater was white and at this portion from all of the testosterone induced man action it turns shit brown.
The best thing about the Die Hard movies are scenes like this, where they include details like needing to use blasting caps to detonate the explosives, but then immediately contradict the realism by having that one block of explosives destroy an entire level of the building in a massive fireball. Brilliant.
This movie escapes the typical action movie cliche where the cops never show up until the end. In fact the cops are part of the plan. Only one reason why it's so awesome.
Guessing on the explosion;McLane pushes in detonators into the C4 and onto a monitor and chair.Detonators may be of shock wave type on a shock wave.A fall from that height would have crushed the monitor transferring an impact shock to the detonator which initiated the C4 Sort of like the primer cap behind on a bullet which set of on an impact of the firing pin. One other thing,the rocket launcher appears to be the French Mistral which is actually an anti-aircraft missile.
@AlecStanley Carl Gustaf is quite different .It is a short range 84mm shouldered fired weapon.The rounds are quite compact based on the recoilless principle. They are not rockets or missiles as such
I was just arguing with someone about the feasibility of some of the stuff in this movie and this scene failed me. Everything else could probably happen but can anyone explain what happened here? What did the monitor and chair do? Did he just set a fuse for 1 second? I got into this argument because I prefer old action movies like Die Hard where things are left to your imagination but I failed to come up with anything on this one. Anyone got any ideas?
@toomanynamesful wen tht pc lands after a fall and just been switched on previously, it wud at least spark big enuff to set the c4 off. It reacts to heat if i'm not mistaken. the chair (with the pc plug wrapped round it and the pc monitor) was obviously to keep it altogether. and those metal pins he stuck into the c4 may been some sort of detonator.
@PBL187 C-4 does not explode with only heat. In fact, it was common practice during the Vietnam War for soldiers to ignite a small amount of C-4 on fire and use it to cook with. It needs to be detonated with a primary explosive. You can shoot C-4 with a gun, and it won't detonate.
LMAO! You know, the version I have, all you can hear is the flames rushing upward, but you can tell what Maclane was saying just by his mouthing the words. This version here is much better!
steel buildings don't collapse...ONLY...if columns are cut! Just as in this video and the Okahoma City Bombing...No failure whatsoever. Research 911...those columns had to be cut for them to collapse...and building 7 wasn't even hit by a plane, fell with no resistance in less than 6 seconds.
LMFAO the music at 47 - 55 makes me laugh all the time "Fuck It"!!! XD
Bit of trivia for you peeps, remember Ricky from Die Hard With A Vengeance? he is in this film cleaning Al Powell's wound he sustained after Al's car is shot up haha!!
"mach los" is wrong and sounds retarded. "mach hin" is what a german would say. stupid hollywood, how hard is it to get ONE native speaker to look over the script...
LMAO! Oh man, why oh why, isn't Maclane on the SWAT team? Or better yet, put him in charge of it. I tell you with his skills he wouldn't have any problem gettin' through a hostage situation.
I made a FOS RO DAH! of this :D
