At work, I mentioned the water jug puzzle from Die Hard: With a Vengeance. It was one of those puzzles that I could not figure out even after the scene. We discussed it and came up with the solution after the time limit. This scene is one of the reasons I love Die Hard 3 so much.
The movie wasn’t supposed to be a Die Hard movie. Jonathan Hensleigh wrote the script Simon Says as a standalone movie. Wanting to go in a different direction, they commissioned the script for the Die Hard franchise, with some major changes to the second and third acts. When you go back and watch DH3, please take notice of the tone shift after the explosion in the subway. The movie goes from a mystery thriller to a full-blown Die Hard movie. It even reveals its connections to the first movie.
