I had to write about this, apparently there’s an unrated DVD version of Live Free or Die Hard with more than 30 uses of ‘fuck’, blood spurts, and more violent details! If you’ve been following this blog you know I’m a big Die Hard fan, and that I was very disappointed by the fourth installment. One of the reasons for this was Fox’ ridiculous PG-13 rating, which totally changed the character of McClane. This DVD release makes him a bit more than the old McClane, and that is just awesome. It’s not gonna change the fact that the movie sucks, but now I at least have a reason to buy the DVD.
I’m looking forward to actually being able to hear ‘Yippee-Ki-Yay, motherfucker’ in all Die Hard movies.
The unrated edition is released 20th of November.
[UPDATE]
Apparently there are a lot of changes, for example new segments with people getting shot, and stuff like that. Take a look at these screen shots from the unrated edition.
Awesome indeed. But but but, still not the old McClane. In the old movies he was just some guy that got lucky in his fights. In 4.0 he’s like a superhero.
Aye. And I fucking hate the scene in which Long’s character says “that’s what makes you that guy” because McClane doesn’t think he’s a hero, it’s so cheesy.
I found the movie quite good – maybe because I only expected lame action with some one-liners once in a while. And, I’m not a Die Hard-fanatic, like some other people I know *ahem* ;-)
But I sure is buying the unrated edition… If only it was on BluRay :-(
Will we be seeing you at D3? :P

:-O Julian med blog, crazy.
Btw, the Yippee-Ki-Yay Edition is not the unrated one.
