Did the Gallon Jug riddle on Die Hard With A Vengeance leave you completely confused and flustered? As much as it sort of explains part of the riddle, just not all the riddle, so I found this on youtube, and hopefully it should clear things up :) Can't believe this film only 48% on Rotten Tomatoes :( I thought the story and bad guy were better in this than Die Hard 2 at least.
i've always wondered why they didn't just solve it using the elephant fountain behind them. it seems to have a constant stream of water, so they could have just timed it and then done some quick calculations.
ReplyDeletedie hard 3 is better than 2 as well.
Lol, I guess they could have try and measured it for themselves, if they had coincedentally brought a ruler with them that is :P There's no way they could have judged the length, width, area and volume of the jugs then get it precise in 10 minutes because if it wasn't precisely four gallons they would have blown up. I tried explaining this to my little cousin and brother earlier, and flummoxed them, bless them.
ReplyDeleteDie Hard 2 was quite slow to get into, not to mention there wasn't that element of being into the action straight away. The riddles in With A Vengeance kept you paying attention to the film, made you wonder where they'd take you. Die Hard 2 had a awful villain with crap intentions. As much as I like Bill Sadler, he should have been given the role of someone with a more meglomaniacal status, rather than just hold an airport hostage, take the general with them, then bugger off. As much as you think you can see the intentions of Simon Gruber throughout the film, I like how he holds New York City hostage then sends pretty much everyone on a wild goose chase and that the real goal is kept until the end of the film. Then you think, if only he didn't have a headache that day...
What did you make of Die Hard 4.0?
