Overlooked...

Rating: Null/10 (27 May 2001)

I just saw Die Hard 2 on TBS and thought it lacked a few things. But overall it was a very good movie. I understand that Dulles could not accept planes, but if you can call in US Army Special Forces, why can't you make a call to Anderson AFB? How did the gasoline from the plane fall in such a nice neat line when it was gushing out like it did? Why did the terrorists have only five snowmobiles when they had started their mission with many more people than that? Did the terrorists expect the Air Force and Navy, both of which have bases in close proximity (Anderson and Norfolk), to let them leave peacefully in their unarmed 747? Did the terrorists actually switch guns between when they were shooting blanks and real bullets? Also, I find it hard to believe that the Green Berets (I assume that's who they were) would be called in, which the terrorists' plan counted on. Dulles could just have easily called in the Marines, the FBI Hostage Rescue Team, or the D.C. SWAT team. Overall this was good, but there were a few loose ends.
