424 Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995)
- McClane ('Bruce Willis' (qv)) tells Zeus ('Samuel L. Jackson' (qv)) ``I
was just getting used to my day job, smoking cigarettes and watching
Captain Kangaroo'', which is a line from the song ``Flowers on the Wall'' by
The Statler Brothers from the soundtrack of "Pulp Fiction (1994)" (qv),
which starred both Willis and Jackson. Willis' character (Butch) was singing
this song in Gabrielle's car when he spotted Marsellus Wallace.
- Character ``Dr. Fred Schiller'' is a reference to the 18th century German
poet 'Friedrich Schiller' (qv), who wrote the lyrics used by
'Ludwig van Beethoven' (qv) in his 9th symphony, which is the music used
in "Die Hard (1988)" (qv).
- Original ending had Simon getting away with the gold, and McClane tracking
him down to Austria, where he defeats him in a game of ``chicken'' with
rocket launchers.
