Alternative
ending: thoughts?
I found the rocket idea a bit silly.
It's action-packed, yes, but at least it keeps in tone with the rest of the movie.
McClane shoots NOT the wire to the sign, but the connection WITH the sign at the truckstop, making the electrical cables fall towards Simon's chopper, which makes him panic and that stupid dumb woman drives them into a large lamppost of some sort, killing them instantly and leaving them to burn in fiery hell.
Then Zeus laughs a bit and tells McClane he should finish the call he started with Holly. Credits roll.
It's fun, concise, and is in keeping with the rest of the film.
The stupid have one thing in common.They alter the facts to fit their views not the other way
Ok, confusion. Every time I've seen the film that IS the ending; the alternative one I'm talking about is where Simon escapes, John tracks him to Europe, and forces him to play a game involving a rocket launcher with the sight removed.
They filmed that (it's on the bluray) but never used it.
