I finally bought Live Free or Die Hard on DVD, and I was scared it wouldn't be as great as I thought it was when I saw it in theaters last year. I should have known John McClane wouldn't disappoint, though: the movie was as much fun as I remembered. Not only that, but I got a nice surprise. You can choose between watching the theatrical cut or the unrated version, and what do you know, all the cursing and swearing and foul language that was so sadly missing from the theatrical version is here in all its R-rated glory. And before you claim that I seem to enjoy profanity more than I should, I hasten to deny it. However, as somebody else pointed out (I think it was Halagan, as a matter of fact), a PG-13 McClane feels almost like a cheat, a fake. McClane swears while he's bleeding, that's just who he is, and that part of him was missing from the movie I saw in theaters. Well, not anymore, so get ready for a few F-bombs, motherf#*%ers!

[Expletive Deleted] Surprise

Totalmente de acuerdo. Si McClane no jura en hebreo, es que no es él. PG-13 my ass.
Así que si me acabo comprando el DVD, cosa que no descarto porque, total, ya tengo las dos primeras y la tercera me encanta, me aseguraré de poder ver la peli con tacos.
Por cierto, ¿se sabe si tienen pensado hacer otra? No es que me fuera a importar mucho, como en el caso de otras sagas, pero tampoco quiero tener que rebautizar a McClane como McCane.
Pues no tengo ni idea. Supongo que depende de dos factores:
1. Si la cuarta fue un éxito en taquilla, que creo que sí. Al menos, aquí en los USA pasó de sobras los cien millones, si mal no recuerdo.
2. Si las próximas pelis con Willis de protagonista son un éxito en taquilla, que probablemente no. De ser éste el caso, seguro que Willis decide volver a lo seguro y tener otro éxito con una quinta Die Hard.
De lo más plausible, ¿verdad?
Yo me compre un pack con las 4 pelis son una de mis sagas policiacas preferidas, junto con las armas letales de Mel Gibson. Estaria genial que hiciesen un cross over de las dos sagas. Bueno no quedaria nadie sin recibir un disparo ni edificio sin demoler.
Una idea interesante...
Pues sí. Si en Hollywood son capaces de sacar no una, sino ¡dos! Aliens Vs. Predator, ¿por qué no John McClane meets Martin Riggs? La verdad es que molaría.
Claro que, si en realidad anunciaran un proyecto por el estilo, fijo que estaríamos todos poniendo el grito en el cielo. Bastardos de Hollywood que no saben ya cómo explotar su negocio.
Sin duda, nos quejaríamos y los acusaríamos de no tener ideas, etcétera. Además, la mitad del presupuesto se les iría en pagar a los actores. Por otro lado, seguro que ninguno de los dos, Willis o Gibson, querría salir en la peli para no perder protagonismo con respecto al otro. Estrellas...
Mucha razón tienes, Fel. Y aún así seríe un proyecto la leche de apetecible para ambos. Sobre todo para Mel Gibson, si es que aún está algo interesado en su carrera como actor.
Hehehe. Es verdad. Pobre Mel... aunque él se lo ha buscado ;)
