When John shows the derogatory board in the street, and the group of black guys approach him, the "leader" says
Fellas, "nature boy" here hates n*****s, what are we going to do about that ?
I've never heard white people, or white men called nature boy before watching this movie, and never again afterwards. Is that a thing to call white people, or white men nature boys ?
What did he mean by that ?
It's been a while since I've seen it, but wasn't McLean naked other than the sandwich board? So wouldn't nature boy be about his state of clothing and nothing to do with race?
shareYOU NAILED IT.
shareMakes sense. Thanks.
shareHe was wearing boxers at least.
shareI thought McClane was just in his underpants, not completely naked. Otherwise, he would've been arrested for indecent exposure when he entered the police station with Zeus later on.
What if they flipped it to ‘Nigger-boy here hates nature, now what are we gonna do about that?’
Then, instead of producing knives they bring out a set of gardening trowels.
He looked like the wrestler Ric Flair
shareI always thought it was funny how this bunch of black hoodlums didn't notice McClane standing there unattended to with that big sign, until one goes to retrieve a basketball and then instantly notices, even with Zeus obscuring the view. How did he even manage to get that close without any of them looking his way?
shareThey were all too busy hanging out and laughing amongst themselves. Keeping their eyes just on each other during that moment idk..
sharethey were scanning the other part of the street to do some criminal activities momentarily
