Playing GALAGA in the arcade (GOOF!)...
Old white male bashing exploding in the female director's face (a bit)...
Basically the same premise as the new PRESUMED INNOCENT series and of course THE FUGITIVE!
You know what's REALLY funny about these posts here?!
What do get when you mix crap with woke...?
Ending could have been so much better ***SPOILER AHEAD***!!
There's only ONE song to sing here, folks....
My two cents ***SPOILERS AHEAD!***
Sadly, by far the weakest of the four incarnations
I'd pay big money to visit Liberty's torch!

DIE HARD 2 is the best of all DH movies. Period. For me it's even better than DH itself. It's a Christmas airport / plane nailbiter and has such a great atmosphere and superb action scenes that I honestly don't care about 50 airports in the (real) vicinity.
"It's Christmas!!"
Hope you're reading this even 10 years later but you're SO right. I rewatched it last night (Dec 2024) and it reminded me more of STRIPES and Sgt. Hulka atop the EM 50 assault vehicle.
Mr. Rubinstein wrote a very nice main theme (only introduced on Goose Island in the freaking middle of the film!) but the rest of the score is atrocious - it feels like they temp-tracked it with E. Bernstein's STRIPES (which in itself is a great score - but only for a military comedy, not a serious WW3 scenario).
This film could have been so much better with a different score by Goldsmith, Horner or Williams.
Sadly, you are right in every regard of course!
I recently rewatched this movie and thoroughly enjoyed it for its main point IMHO, which is of course "The only winning move is not to play", as a message to us all for our conflicts we have today in the world.
But yes, it makes no sense whatsoever, for WOPR not to have played through already all possible outcomes of this "game" "GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR"...
"To look young but in turn you have to keep injecting needles into yourself every day else you start decomposing/deconstructing the second you pop out."
Uhm, actually, many Hollywood celebs do this... :-)
Her boobs even have a separate section in the end credits!
And I wondered why Ray Liotta is "thanked" at the end of the end credits!
"And man, those two cops were complete idiots. Always disbelieving, always one step behind. I realize that's the story but come on they were dip shoots. I could barely keep from yelling at the screen when they did some inane thing."
My thoughts exactly! God help us if this is only remotely realistic with British (or any other) police. They home in on him from the beginning and only at the very end they manage to pull their brains out of their asses. And no apoplogy at the end to Aidan. For me, that was the worst insult to injury.
Well said, I agree 100%!
MOST FASCINATING READ!!! Thank you very much for sharing that info.
Next on my eternal dream-wishlist would be the "Relieving Chambers" in the Great Pyramid...
