Film & TV Live Free or Die Hard

[Eric]

So I just saw it and it pretty much should have been Rated R. Tight ass movie! Don't let the PG13 rating let you down!

I heard mad good shit about this movie and whatnot.

 

[Preach]

havent seen it yes but c'mon, it's die hard and it's bruce willis. even if a mad puppet was trying to destroy sesame street and john mcclane played bad sesame street security guard it would still own. die hard = you don't measure it based on contect, but action scenes, and the trailer already serves it a 5/10 for the scenes in the trailer alone.

was there a yippee-ki-yay motherfucker in it? because as Ruk pointed out, it is not a Die Hard movie without that.

 

[PuffnScruff]

it was pretty good, not a dull point in the movie, lots of action

as for the yippee-ki-yay motherfucker. well it was more like "yippee-ki-yay mother*BOOM*

if it had more blood and bad words it would have gotten an R rating but 1) i think they were trying to portray a more mature mclane character, one that has become a good parent, especially with his daughter being in the movie 2) plus R rated movies arent really bringing in money right now so i think the studios really wanted to bring in a younger audience so they could get more tickets sold.

looking at it from the studio point of view the rating makes sense just for the fact that i already stated about R rated movies not doing well in recent years.

i would go see it again. it was better than i was expecting

i believe you could already hear it in the trailer.

although i have no real idea and haven't seen the movie or even had someone tell me anything from it. nevertheless, i personally guarantee you there is one in the movie.

edit: scruffy posted as i was typing up mine.

Many movies get an 'unrated' version on DVD nowadays, and the extra material usually ends up being character development. But in the case of Live Free or Die Hard, the DVD will at least partially deliver the film we wanted to see in the first place.

FDM has learned that FOX has already commissioned visual effects house Digital Dimension (who also worked on the film for theatrical release) to add digitally add blood into the bloodless action scenes we (or at least, I) will see in theaters when the movie is released on June 27th. Whether the profanity (test screenings have pointed out some obvious dubbing in a few scenes) will be restored remains unknown, but rest assured, those of you who like their Die Hard movies to be bloody (you know, like the first three, the ones we loved so much to want a fourth one in the first place?) might want to wait for DVD.

Ordinarily I abhor the "Wait for DVD" mentality as I truly love the theatergoing experience, but I will make a special exception in this case and actually ENCOURAGE it, as a means of revenge for fucking with my beloved franchise. They'll get my money (as will any BW film: I paid to see Whole Ten Yards, I'll certainly pay to see this) but unless you're a similarly obsessive compulsive schmuck like me, feel free to wait.

Yippie Ki Yay, FOX!

As a dvd collector i really hate when they do this, they will release an R Rated version then a few months later they will release an Unrated version watch!

ah, the dreaded DVD double dip. that's why i rarely buy a movie when it's first released, i usually wait a few months to see if they will release a different version. but there were definitely scenes in Die Hard where there should have been blood, and lots of it (like the scene where the guy falls into those whirling blades and apparently eviscerated, and yet not one drop of blood is seen lol) so i'm looking forward to an r-rated or unrated version of this movie.
