When Agent Johnson and Special Agent Johnson are in the helo riding toward the tower, Agent Johnson tells the pilot, "Keep her on the deck. They're expecting a transport, not a gun ship." I can't remember if this is before or after he compares the ride to bein in 'Nam, and Special Agent Johnson calls him a "dickhead."
But that's neither here nor there. Here's what bothers me: Their flight path takes them toward the tower fast and low. Wouldn't their actions be exactly how a gunship is SUPPOSED to fly? If you're mimicking a transport, wouldn't you keep her high and slow? I know, I know. I'm overthinking it. I can't help it. I am who I am. |

I thought it was so Gruber and Associates could not see the team on board the helicopter.

“Just like fuckin’ Saigon!”
“I was in junior high!” “Dickhead.” Funny that it was long enough ago that Vietnam vets could still be ~40 years old. ETA: fixed quote |

You know what’s bothered me about it? The security guard tells McClane to type the name into the computer. Finds his wife. Security guard tells him they’re the only ones left in the building.
Seriously? Couldn’t have just told him that the party was on the 30th floor? |

Quoted: Hush, you. You're ruining my ability to suspend my disbelief. View Quote Nah dude, that was the most realistic part of the movie! 1988ish? Only 20 years after Peak ‘Nam, only 15 after fall of Saigon… he could have been mid-30’s and had Iohnson making fun of him for being old. I mean hell, we’re more than 30 years past Gulf War 1… |

I always laugh at the fact that no one heard all the shooting on the roof. I mean that much FA shooting would have been heard for miles.

What bothers me is how he threw the dead terrorist out that window. Anyone who has carried a dead or unconscious person knows how hard that is for one person.

Bugs me how Beard Guy was banging a gal on the desk without showing her full frontal.

My favorite part is when Gruber and co first take the party, and Gruber is giving a speech while one of his men is pointing a MP5 right at his boss’ back.

What bothered me is the amount of continuity error is in the time it takes after the explosion for the Agent Johnson's ignited helicopter to then fall from the building. Blows up and then many minutes later falls down???
At 2:40 the roof blows and takes out the chopper. Bruce Willis has time for that intense scene where he clings to the fire hose, and it nearly pulls him down and out a window. Minutes later at 3:49 in the video when Bruce is at the party floor with the fountains, the Chopper finally falls off the roof, blowing some windows inward with a blast he has to dodge. Sure took a long time for the chopper to fall a few feet. Die Hard - Blow the Roof clip |
