John's NYPD Friends Were Annoying

-The short nerdy one was dumb enough to get himself killed after believing Gruber's story. "Wow you guys got here fast. That almost never happens....anyway, right this way." Plus he had the corny exchange with the reporters, just so we could get to know him for an another 20 seconds.

-We didn't need both the Mustache Man and the Indian from Free Willy. They were basically the same character. Maybe Free Willy was quieter and more down to earth. He and John would make a good team.

-The woman with the unbearable NY accent...useless and the most annoying. Plus she was about to go out like a punk on the schoolhouse roof.

-The fat bomb diffuser, now he was pretty cool.

Gee man, that was the point. Not every person you work with is going to be cool, a lot of them are going to be annoying.

These people just add more to a real NY character to what should be a far fetched movie.

The whole team has to be annoying? Cmon that was hack writing and you know it.

I didn't mind them. Also the woman you speak of was Yvette in Clue. I admit I mainly like this movie for the New York setting and also that the villain is Hans Gruber's Brother.

Holy shit, I had no idea ‘Connie’ had the biggest, most perfect tits ever. She looks like a plain Jane school-mum in this!

She did not age well at all. She looked great in the 80s and looks like Bruce Villanch now: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/92/Colleen_Camp_%28crop%2C_2018%29.jpg. Even in the 90s she looked like a completely different person. Didn't put on the weight yet, but just looked like a mom, and not the good kind.

In the right context I think she would have looked great in 95: https://moviechat.org/tt0112864/Die-Hard-With-a-Vengeance/60d5e57b905bb1633f278fa2/Johns-NYPD-Friends-Were-Annoying?reply=62abd94f4bc25440fac9b2c1

McClane’s team were great. Nice to have some decent, competent cops in a Die Hard for once.

What surprised me was the woman with the annoying accent was Colleen Camp - famous for her role as Kirkland in Police Academy 2 as the woman who busts Tackleberry's Cherry. An epic set of jumblee's on her that makes you want to stand up and beg for buttermilk. In this movie (just 10 short years later) she looks like a bored housewife from Rockweed that wears pant-suits and double-knits and gets the occasional dong from the landscaper.

hard to believe she was the hot maid in Clue

[–] HelpMeRhonda (1155) 2 years ago

No kidding. I would’ve never noticed that and I’ve seen both movies many times.

[–] GreenGoblinsOck8 (7445) 2 years ago

I have seen both several times since I was a kid in the 90s and didn't know til a few years ago. I guess some people don't age well. It reminds me that when watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch recently on Amazon, there was a recent picture of Nate Richart who plays Harvey when I paused it and he is bald now. And he's only 44.

Also one of the dancers in Apocalypse Now.

[–] Drooch (5333) 2 years ago

This revelation is blowing my mind. She’s remarkably plain in DHWAV, but if you saw her climbing out of a swimming pool in a bikini you’d faint from instant blood loss.

People are saying she didn’t age well but that’s just her clothes and hair, she would have still been an absolute smokeshow in 95.

Nowadays she’s an obese pensioner but back then? Full blown MILF.

[–] VanHellion (609) 2 years ago

Drooch - she was beyond sexy as fuck back in the day. Saw this pic and damn near fainted from said blood loss...

To be that slim with natural tits that big is almost unheard of. Very gifted young woman.

Also almost unheard of is such a well endowed actress doing film roles that hide her bags 🙃

[–] VanHellion (609) 2 years ago

Very true. When I see a slim woman with big naturals I just call that "pure talent".

[–] Strazdas (2328) 3 years ago

Its new York. Of course people will be annoying.
