4 funny things about Die Hard 2

I've been very lazy today. Just splayed out on the couch channel surfing. It amazes me that with hundreds of channels to chose from, the best thing I could find on was Die Hard 2. That's pretty sad. It's also more sad that I didn't remove myself from the couch and do something productive...

After the movie, I checked out IMDB, one of my favorite website. If you search for Die Hard 2, you can find pages of mistakes that this movie made with regard to continuity, plot, and facts. Very fun indeed!

The things that I find most funny have nothing to do with the VERY cheesy story, but rather how much things have changed since this movie was made in 1990.

Let's review:

- The main character, John McClane, strolls through the airport, smoking away. Not only is smoking not prohibited, it appears that there are not even any designated areas. Smoke 'em if you got 'em!

- No security checks, anywhere. Apparently not a priority in 1990.

- The old lady that sits next to John's wife, Holly, on the plane has a stun gun in her purse. Sure, that could happen today...

- There was a huge line up at the payphones. When was the last time you saw a line up at a payphone?

Oh I love a good laugh. Long live the cheese!
