Bruce Willis was one of some really excellent films.
Its most famous role is easily John McClane in the Die hard The franchise, the first of which is often cited as one of the greatest action films of all time. He directs one of the trio of segments in pulp FictionPlay a boxer in the race that meets the infamous “Gimp”. Head The sixth sense,, 12 monkeys,, The fifth elementAnd Kingdom of the moonAnd you look at hell of a CV.
Unfortunately, things do not always have took place gently for the smooth head icon. Towards the end of his career, he made very strange decisions, perhaps informed by the dementia with which he would be diagnosed in 2023, leading to truly horrible films that did not deserve its legendary presence in any way.
Even when he was at his peak, he was not immune to the strange stinking. Does anyone remember The fire of joy of vanities? Or Hudson Hawk? Even the Die hard The series would not always deliver because anyone watched beyond film number three can confirm.
It turns out that Willis and Die hard I don’t even need to be involved in a film to have a harmful effect. In an interview MumielineJohn McTiernan, director of the first episode in the series, was asked why he had not returned to direct the rest, Die hard 2. By answering this question, he also revealed how the series finally spelled Doom for another action franchise.
“I prepared two suites. One did not occur because Fox was arguing Bruce on money,” said McTiernan. “After doing Die hard 3The studio used most of the materials we had developed for the other continuation and transformed it into Speed 2: cruise tour. The lining of the ocean that goes on the beach and all that? That’s why we wrote Die hard“.
Released three years after his original that changes the game, Speed 2: cruise tour Little or no call compared to the first. On board a luxury cruise ship, Annie Porter (a Sandra Bullock back) and her new boyfriend Alex Shaw (Jason Patric, who replaced a very sensitive Keanu Reeves) must prevent the diverted ship from crashing into an oil tanker. It was a complete radiation, avoided by fans and criticism. This has almost ruined the career of several people involved and is now an interior joke among the community that loves the film.
As McTiernan said, most of the ideas for Cruise control were reused of potential Die hard scenario. The scenario, which was initially called Convenience storesaw McClane fight terrorists at sea. It looks like a natural progression of the “action hero in an isolated location” which served the franchise well to this point, but concerns were raised that it would be too similar to the film Steven Seagal Under the victory.
The idea was abandoned, and it was decided that McClane would rather face the brother of the original antagonist, Hans Gruber, while he was trying to explode New York with a series of bombs. This was the possible premise of Die hard with revenge.
Speed 2: cruise tour is just as horrible as people say, but the story behind is actually quite interesting. Does this mean that you should do everything you can see? Absolutely not.
