QWhere did Stuart's men get the disguises they use for their ambushes?
AWhere Baker and Thompson acquired the utility company uniforms they use to get into the church is never shown. Where the henchmen who ambush the SWAT team on the Skywalk get their uniforms, though, is shown in a deleted scene, which according to the script happens after Baker kills the custodian. Two painters stop their van in a service area complaining about the pressure being applied to them to finish their work on time. Suddenly, O'Reilly and Sheldon show up, O'Reilly with a suppressed pistol in hand. The first painter turns and is shot in the head. His partner turns to investigate the noise and is shot as well. O'Reilly and Sheldon then shove the bodies in back and lock the doors, and O'Reilly radios to Stuart, "This is Alice. We're down the rabbit hole."
QIs 'Die Hard 2' based on a book?
AYes. Die Hard 2 (aka Die Harder), was based on 58 Minutes (1987), a novel by American writer Walter Wager. Roderick Thorp, the author of Nothing Lasts Forever (1979) on which the first Die Hard (1988) movie was based, was given credit for creating the characters. Wager's novel was adapted for the film by American screenwriters Steven E. de Souza and Doug Richardson. Die Hard 2 was followed by three sequels, Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995), Live Free or Die Hard (2007) and A Good Day to Die Hard (2013).
QWhat is 'Die Hard 2' about?
AIt is Christmas eve, and LAPD Lieutenant John McClane (Bruce Willis) is waiting at Washington D.C.'s Dulles Airport to pick up his wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) on her way from Los Angeles. At the same time, a plane is arriving from the Republic of Valverde carrying deposed dictator and drug baron Ramon Esperanza (Franco Nero), who is being extradicted to theUnited States to stand trial on charges of drug trafficking. Meanwhile, a team of mercenaries led by Colonel Stuart (William Sadler) has contrived to shutdown the airport's runway lights and its Instrument Landing System (ILS), forcing the arriving airplanes to circle the airport until they run out of gas. Sensing that something big is about to happen, McClane attempts to alert airport terminal police Captain Carmine Lorenzo (Dennis Franz) about his suspicions, but Lorenzo doesn't believe him. Consequently, McClane is forced to take things into his own hands.
