We're fairly close to an airforce base, so low flying fighter jets going over our house is a very regular occurrence. Whenever it gets cloudy or rail, they go by every few hours all day, until fairly late into the night.
In Die Hard 2 I don't know I thought jet engines can do that to people that get pulled in the front part. Ours must be one of the quietest bases then, I'm 10 minutes from Endingburgh and you hardly ever hear any kind of aircraft coming and going from there.
Well, regarding DH2, I can also tell you that hand grenades don't have 32-second time fuses. You're supposed to throw them at the enemy and have them explode pretty much right then. 32 seconds is long enough for you and whoever you intend to blow up to play an extended game of catch. And also, I don't know why Section 31 Agent Sloane was on Earth back in 1988, but he's lucky he managed to get back to the 24th century when he did
In Die Hard 2, the second or third time I watched it, I noticed that McClane used a pay phone owned by Pacific Bell in an airport in Virginia.
So you did the layoffs first, then you did voluntary severance (with the other option being worked into the ground)... and then you're surprised that you ended up with less staff remaining than you'd anticipated? Tell me again why this man is considered a business genius??
does that mean they are not allowed to sell contracts there? you probably need to ask some geniuses (?) working for the press ... not me
There's a bit of a goof in "Die Hard 1" too. When McClane sends his "Geronimo Mother" IED down the elevator shaft, there are four terrorists in the lower part of the building: two on the ground floor, shooting at the SWAT guys, and two on an unknown floor manning the rocket launcher. The explosion obviously occurs on the ground floor... but the two terrorists there survive, while the two on wherever floor the rocket launcher is are vaporized.
don't let me start on those germans' german language skills - there's not a single correct line (and that's not counting pronunciation)
When the Glock was introduced, people did talk about "undetectable plastic guns". They even passed a law banning undetectable firearms. Because the Glock was known to be detectable, it wasn't affected. Truth is, you can't make a viable gun out of modern composites... they're certainly strong enough, but they melt when exposed to high heat.
They might just go in a different direction, my sister lived even closer to the base, but since they went in a different direction from where her house was, she never really heard them.
That's probably correct. The only time I ever hear them is when they have some public event like an air show or some other event
