Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a 2008 science fiction adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg, from a story co-written by executive producer George Lucas. Set in 1957, the fourth film in the Indiana Jones film series pits an older and wiser Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) against agents of the Soviet Union, led by Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett), in the search for a crystal skull. Indy is aided by his former lover Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen), the greaser Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf), and fellow archaeologist Mac (Ray Winstone). John Hurt and Jim Broadbent also play fellow academics.



Plot:

In 1957, Colonel-Doctor Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett) leads a convoy of Soviets, dressed as American soldiers, infiltrating a military base in the Nevada desert containing "Hangar 51", where they force Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) to lead them to a crate holding the remains of an extraterrestrial creature that crashed ten years before in Roswell, New Mexico. In a brief scene, a broken crate containing the Ark of the Covenant is revealed to the audience. When Jones attempts to escape, he is foiled by his old partner, George "Mac" McHale (Ray Winstone), who reveals that he is working with the Soviets. Jones then escapes on a rocket sled into the desert, where he stumbles upon a nuclear test town and survives a nuclear blast by hiding in a lead-lined refrigerator. While being debriefed, Jones discovers he is under FBI investigation because his friend Mac is a Soviet agent. Jones returns to Marshall College, where he is offered a leave of absence to avoid being fired because of the investigation. As he is leaving, Jones is stopped by Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf) and told that his old colleague, Harold Oxley (John Hurt), disappeared after discovering a crystal skull in Peru.



In Peru, Jones and Mutt discover that Oxley was locked in an insane asylum until Soviet soldiers kidnapped him. In Oxley's former cell, Jones discovers clues to the grave of Francisco de Orellana, a Conquistador who went missing in the 1500s while seeking Akator (also known as El Dorado). Jones finds the crystal skull that Oxley hid in Orellana's grave in the Nazca Lines. The skull is elongated in the shape that indigenous peoples formed their own skulls into. The Soviets capture Indy and Mutt and take them to the camp where they are holding Oxley and Mutt's mother, Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen), who reveals that Mutt is Jones's son. The Soviets believe the skull is the actual skull from an extraterrestrial life-form with a crystalline bone structure, holding great psychic power. Mutt, Jones, Oxley, and Marion manage to breifly escape, but are recaptured. Marion, Jones, and Mutt have their feet tied and their hands tied behind their back and are locked in the back of a truck. Mutt, Jones, and Marion argue about how Jones is Mutt's father. A guard gets annoyed by the arguing so he takes a cleave gag and roughly puts it in Marion's mouth, making her unable to talk. Jones then knocks out the guard with his feet, making them able to escape. Later, during a lengthy vehicle chase involving sword fights, Mutt swinging on vines with monkeys, and several Soviet soldiers being eaten by army ants, as well as Mac revealing that he is actually a double agent working against the Soviets, Mutt, Marion, Mac, Oxley, and Jones ride an amphibious truck over a cliff and down three waterfalls, eventually finding the Temple of Akator.

After entering the temple, Jones uses the skull to open the door to a chamber tomb. Inside, thirteen crystal skeletons, one with a missing skull, are seated on thrones. When the Soviets arrive, Mac reveals that he lied about being a double agent. When Spalko places the skull onto the skeleton, it begins communicating to the group through Oxley using an ancient Mayan dialect. Jones translates this to mean that the aliens want to give them a great gift. Spalko demands to know everything, and the skulls begin firing knowledge into her eyes, causing her to shake. As a portal to another dimension appears over the room, Oxley regains his sanity and explains that the aliens are inter-dimensional beings who taught the Maya their advanced technology. Indy, Mutt, Marion, and Oxley escape from the temple, but Mac is sucked into the portal. The skeletons form into a single alien which continues to feed Spalko with knowledge. However, the knowledge overwhelms Spalko, causing her to ignite into flames and disintegrate, with her essence being absorbed into the portal above. The temple crumbles, and a flying saucer rises from the debris and disappears. Back home, Jones is made an associate dean and marries Marion. As Mutt tries to take a picture of his parents, a gust of wind knocks Jones' hat off the coat stand and pushes it to Mutt's feet. However, just before Mutt slowly puts in on his head, Jones grabs it from him and places it on his own, leaving with his new bride, Marion.

The Foot Fist Way

The Plot: A down-and-out Tae Kwon Do instructor looks to turn his life around by going on a pilgrimage with his buddy (Hill) and two of his students to see his hero, the martial arts legend Chuck "The Truck" Wallace (Best), at a kung-fu convention.

THE BUZZ: It looks like Judd Apatow and his crew might have some competition this year in the form of dynamic writing/acting duo Danny McBride and Ben Best, and their director pal Jody Hill. The trio is being nursed by Will Ferrell and his development partner Adam McKay; their Gary Sanchez Productions is behind the team's HBO pilot East Bound and Down, a sports comedy (Will Ferrel? Sports? Comedy? Go figure.) that should hit the air later this year. Back to Foot Fist ... the indie was shot in 19 days and reportedly has a home-video feel at times, and taste-making reviewers dug it at last year's Sundance Film Festival, though we're unsure why the marketing plan for this one is slow to roll out. It should have been on FunnyOrDie months ago. All reviewers question whether audiences will embrace McBride's caustic, in-your-face performance as a Tae Kwon Do instructor who isn't afraid to attack a 7-year-old kid.

It is directed by Australian director Robert Luketic (Legally Blonde) and stars Jim Sturgess, Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth, and Laurence Fishburne. The film is inspired by the true story of the MIT Blackjack Team.

PLOT:

Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess), based on the real life Massachusetts Institute of Technology card-counter Jeff Ma, is an MIT senior who applies for the prestigious Robinson Scholarship, a full scholarship to Harvard Medical School. Despite Ben's perfect resume, the official administering the scholarship tells Ben that his application essay must "dazzle" him in order to win it. In his non-linear equations class, Ben impresses his professor, Mickey Rosa (Kevin Spacey). One night while Ben is studying, Fisher (Jacob Pitts) tells him to come with him. He leads Ben to a card counting session led by Mickey. His team travels to Las Vegas every weekend to count cards and win money, which the members then split. Other members of the team are Ben's crush Jill (Kate Bosworth), Choi (Aaron Yoo), and Kianna (Liza Lapira). Mickey tells Ben that he has a great mind and is able to get past his emotions, and that's why he chose him.

Ben initially declines but after some persuasion, Ben joins the team to generate $300,000, the amount he needs for medical school. Life gets complicated; for every weekend he spends in Las Vegas, he ignores and lies to his friends and family. As Ben becomes the big player and makes the most money, former big player Fisher gets jealous. One night, Fisher joins the same table as Ben and screws up. Mickey is furious and sends Fisher home and kicks him off the team. Back at home, Ben's friends decide to continue the 209 robotics competition without him after Ben gets the wrong microcontroller. Shaken from losing his former two best friends, Ben loses a massive amount of money in one night, and Mickey and Ben angrily part ways.

He finds that Mickey has revoked credit for one of his classes, and Ben cannot graduate from MIT. Upon entering his dorm room, he finds his room trashed and all the money he saved for Harvard Medical School gone. Finally, he asks Mickey for a second chance to make his money back.

In disguise, the team arrives in Vegas for their last run. Ben and Mickey are winning big, but Cole Williams arrives. Ben and Mickey split along with Jill, deciding to separate. Mickey convinces Ben to throw him the bag with the winnings and they will meet up later. But Mickey decides to just leave and runs to the limo and asks the driver to go to the airport. But he has been tricked: he finds that the bag is actually filled with chocolate dollars, and that the driver of the limo is actually Williams's partner. Ben's secret plan is to trick Mickey as revenge for stealing his savings. That night, Cole Williams made a deal with Ben that he would not be hurt if he could bring Mickey back to Vegas. When Mickey asked for the bag with the winnings, Jill had already switched the real bag with another bag in her purse with the fake chips. Mickey is caught by casino security while Ben is let off the hook. Ben pays off casino security with that night's winnings, returns to MIT, and "dazzles" the Harvard dean with his Las Vegas adventures.

Donna and several friends (Bobby (Scott Porter) ), Lisa (Dana Davis), Ronnie (Collins Pennie), Michael (Kelly Blatz) and Claire (Jessica Stroup) make plans to attend their senior prom together.

Meanwhile, Detective Winn, the police officer responsible for imprisoning Fenton, learns that Fenton has escaped three days before Donna's senior prom and decides to stake out Donna's prom in order to keep an eye on her.

At the prom, Donna and her friends get keys to a suite in the hotel. Fenton is already at the prom and kills the maid to obtain the master key. He hides in the hotel room while Donna is in there. She opens the door and Claire surprises her. Claire is fighting with her boyfriend and says that she will be back down when she fixes her make-up. After Donna leaves, Claire hears noises and checks to see if it is Donna. She realizes that it is Fenton and is stabbed and killed.

Detectives Winn and Nash, Winn's partner, find the body of a man named Ramsey supposedly registered at the hotel. Michael goes upstairs to their room to find Claire to see if she would except his apology. He sees the closet door closing while checking the bathroom and goes up to the closet and opens it and sees Fenton's face. Fenton jumps at him and stabs him.

Lisa and Ronnie head up to the suite and Lisa bumps into Fenton in the elevator, but does not recognize him. She realizes his identity when Ronnie and her are having a romantic moment. She leaves suddenly leaving Ronnie confused. Ronnie was just about to propose. She leaves to warn Donna. When she gets to the elevator it is taking too long, so she rushes to the stairs and trips. She sees Fenton behind the door and she starts to run, hiding from him in a section of the hotel under renovation. She hides under a table. Ronnie comes down looking for her but she does not scream because Fenton would kill Ronnie if she did. Ronnie then goes back up. She thinks Fenton is gone, so she gets out from under the table and accidentally knocks over some paint tins, alerting Fenton. She runs right into him and he grabs her and slits her throat. Her blood sprays all over the plastic covering.

Detective Winn heads up to the room registered to Fenton's victim and finds the body of a hotel employee, a maid. Now knowing for sure that Fenton is in the building, he triggers the emergency alarm and evacuates the building, just as, downstairs, Ronnie and Lisa are about to be announced as prom king and queen. Ronnie and Bobby head outside while Donna goes back upstairs to retrieve something she left in the suite. Donna sees Fenton in the suite and hides under the bed she sees Claire's body and screams. Then she runs out the room and runs into Winn and Nash. Nash drives her back to her house while Winn searches the hotel (unsuccessfully) for Fenton. He eventually realizes that Fenton may have escaped wearing a hotel employee's uniform, and rushes back to Donna's house to warn her. He calls Nash, who is stationed outside Donna's home, on the way and tells him to get into the house.

Nash and another cop patrol the house while Donna and Bobby go to sleep. Winn arrives to find Nash dead in his car, throat slashed. Donna goes to the bathroom to take some pills to calm herself down and sees Fenton standing behind her in the mirror. Fenton grabs Donna by the hair and smashes her head against the mirror, knocking her unconscious.

Donna jerks awake and realizes she was only dreaming. She goes to the bathroom and takes some pills, only to come back and find Bobby dead, his throat slit. She sees a shadow thinking it is Fenton she hides in her closet but is grabbed by Fenton. The shadow figure was really Winn. A scream is heard so Winn goes downstairs. The person screaming was Donna's aunt because she sees a dead cop in her drive way. Donna hits Fenton and runs out the room but Fenton grabs her leg she starts to struggle with him. Winn comes back upstairs and shoots Fenton several times. Donna cries over Bobby's dead body. Her aunt and uncle then come in and take her out of the room, and the end credits roll.

The Forbidden Kingdom

The film opens during a battle between Sun Wukong, the Monkey King (Jet Li), and heavenly soldiers amongst the clouds. It is then revealed the sequence was a dream when a young teenager, Jason Tripitakas (Michael Angarano), awakens in his room plastered with vintage kung fu movie posters. After getting dressed, he makes his way to a pawn shop in Boston's China town to buy some new Kung fu DVD's. There, he converses with Hop (a prosthetics-laden Jackie Chan), the shop's elderly owner, and, while thumbing through some DVD's, he is drawn to room full of antiques and notices a golden staff. Hop tells him that the staff is to be delivered to its rightful owner and then closes the door. On his way back home, Jason is attacked by local bully Lupo (Morgan Benoit) and his cronies who force him to take them to the store so they can steal some money from the old man. Feeling betrayed, Hop tries to attack the thieves with the staff, but is shot. He tells Jason that he must deliver the staff to its rightful owner. Jason takes the staff and runs from the thieves. On top of a building, he is surrounded by the bullies and suddenly he is pulled off the roof by the staff and travels back through time.

When Jason wakes up he has been transported back to ancient China. There he is attacked by Jade Warriors who try to take the staff away from him. He is helped by the Drunken Immortal, Lu Yan (Jackie Chan). Later that night, seated in a restaurant, Lu tells Jason a story of how the Monkey King caused havoc at the banquet celebrating the Jade Emperor's forthcoming 500 year period of meditation and drank of the elixir of immortality. The Emperor took a liking to the Monkey King and decided to award him a heavenly title, much to the chagrin of the Jade Warlord (Collin Chou), a heavenly general. The Emperor then left the Jade Warlord in charge of heaven before retreating to his period of seclusion. The Jade Warlord later challenged the Monkey King to a duel, and turned him into stone by tricking the Monkey King to set aside his magic staff. But before he was fully immobilized, the Monkey King cast his staff into the mundane world. Lu ends the tale by stating a person known as the "Seeker" will be the person to find the staff and free the Monkey King. Lu and Jason then get into a fight with the Jade Warriors who track them to the restaurant and are saved by a mysterious woman, who turns out to be the Orphaned Warrior, Golden Sparrow (Liu Yi Fei). Golden Sparrow's family was killed by the Jade Warlord, and she has vowed vengeance against him.

The Jade Warlord is notified by his men that they have seen the magical staff. The Jade Warlord then sends his bounty hunter, the white-haired assassin Ni-Chang (Li Bingbing), to retrieve it for him. When Jason wakes up in the morning he is attacked by a person dressed in white clothes, who takes the staff away. Jason, Lu, and Golden Sparrow follow the trail of the mysterious man. They reach upon a temple where the man is meditating. There, Lu confronts the Silent Monk (Jet Li), who was the mysterious man. There they both fight for the staff. The Silent Monk later learns that the staff is meant for the traveler. The four head towards the Five Elements Mountain in a quest to free the Monkey King and destroy the rule of the Jade Warlord.
On the way to the Mountain, Lu and the Silent Monk teach Jason Kung Fu. After crossing a great desert, they are attacked by Ni-Chang and the Jade Warriors, but the four escape on their horses with the staff intact. Ni-Chang fires an arrow into the air after them, and Lu is hit with the arrow and falls from his horse. They take refuge in a monastery where they find out that only the elixir of immortality from the Jade Warlord will heal Lu from his mortal wound. Jason wanting to help Lu, heads toward the palace with the staff to exchange it for the elixir. Once at the palace he learns that the elixir was promised to Ni-Chang if she brought back the staff, but since Jason brought it, he has to fight Ni-Chang to death, the winner getting the elixir. The Silent Monk discovering that Jason has left with the staff and pursues Jason along with Golden Sparrow. Back at the palace, Jason and Ni-Chang fight. Though Jason had developed some skill in Kung Fu, the more experienced Ni-Chang easily defeats him. But before she can kill him, the Jade Warlord orders her to stop and, instead, sets his own men on Jason. The boy's life is once again saved when the Silent Monk and Golden Sparrow arrive (with Lu Yan in the rear being carried by monks from the monastery who join in the fight with the Jade Army with their staffs) and intervene. The Silent Monk duels the Jade Warlord while Golden Sparrow fights Ni-Chang. During the fight, Jason manages to grab the elixir and throws it to Lu Yan, who drinks it and regains his strength and energy. Lu then fights Ni-Chang on the balcony. The Silent Monk is mortally wounded during his battle with the Jade Warlord and throws the staff to Jason. Jason takes the staff and frees the Monkey King from his statue form. The Silent Monk dies from injuries and reverts into a golden hair, revealing him to be a magical human familiar created by the Monkey King prior to his imprisonment. The fight between the Monkey King and the Jade Warlord commences. Golden Sparrow tries to kill The Jade Warlord, but is killed instead. After a long battle, Jason is able to kill the Jade Warlord and Lu Yan kills Ni-Chang. He is then thanked by the Jade Emperor for his bravery and fulfilling the people's prophecy. He is then transported back to modern day Boston.

When Jason wakes up, he is attacked by Lupo's gang, but this time he uses his newfound Kung Fu skills and defeats Lupo. He then goes to see if Hop is alright, and Hop responds to Jason, stating that he is immortal, leaving it questionable whether or not Hop is Lu Yan or not. Hop is taken to the hospital, before Jason leaves the scene, he sees a girl who looks like Golden Sparrow. She thanks him for being brave and tells him she will see him later. She then goes into her store (Golden Sparrow). Jason, surprised but delighted to see her, leaves and goes home, where he practices his Kung Fu on the roof with a staff.

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay

Following the events of Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, Harold Lee and Kumar Patel fly to Amsterdam so Harold can pursue a budding romance with his neighbor, Maria. After a prolonged struggle with security, the pair run into Vanessa, Kumar's ex-girlfriend, who happened to be the one who introduced Kumar to marijuana and helped him come out of his shell as an undergraduate. They are soon joined by Vanessa's fiancee, Colton, who helped Harold get his current job before embarking on a career with the government. The two pairs separate, but not before Vanessa and Kumar share a moment. The two board the plane, but a passenger becomes instantly nervous at Kumar's appearance, envisioning him as a terrorist. Mid-flight, Kumar follows Harold to the restroom with his new invention: a smokeless bong. As Harold exits, someone sees Kumar lighting the bong. Harold says, "It's okay, it's just a bong," and another passenger yells, "[It's] a bomb!"

Air marshals immediately detain both men, and the plane returns to Washington, where Ron Fox, an overzealous undersecretary of Homeland Security, interrogates the pair before sending them to Guantanamo Bay detention camp. Moments after their arrival, the pair are instructed to perform an oral sex act (a "cock meat sandwich") on a guard, but amidst commotion in the next cell in which two terrorists escape, they quickly take advantage of their own unlocked cell to escape the prison complex,[1] hitching a ride to Miami aboard a boat used by Cuban immigrants.

In Miami, they borrow a car from their college friend Raza who is having a "bottomless" pool party. Then, as fugitives from Homeland Security, they travel from Miami to Texas in search of Colton, in hopes that he will be able to help them through his father, who is connected with several high political officials. Kumar agrees to the plan, secretly hoping to disrupt the marriage.
Their trip becomes disrupted in Birmingham, Alabama, the pair abandon their vehicle when a group of black men playing basketball approach them after they wreck their vehicle into a fire hydrant (who were in reality trying to help them fix their vehicle and to see if they were okay). Lost in the forests of Alabama, the pair wander upon a redneck out deer hunting who invites them back to his shack to meet his beautiful wife and their inbred cyclops son. Afterwards, they accidentally stumble upon a Ku Klux Klan meeting, and avoid being lynched by jumping into a car driven by Neil Patrick Harris. High on mushrooms and Jack Daniel's, Harris transports the pair to the Texas border, where he uses his fame to get through a road block set up by the DHS. However, rather than proceed directly to the wedding, Harris insists that the trio stop at his favorite whore house. Kumar appears to take advantage of the situation, much to Harold's chagrin. Harold confesses to the other prostitutes that Kumar is selfish and thinks only of himself and not of the consequences that affect others. Kumar, meanwhile, is confessing to the pair of prostitutes in the room that he doesn't know why he broke up with Vanessa, and is still in love with her. However, the pair is forced to flee the whorehouse after Harris is chased out, then gunned down for branding his initials on the back of a prostitute. During the car ride to Colton's, while searching for Neil's family contacts, Harold pulls out a mask similar to the one worn by Chris Fehn of Slipknot.

Harold and Kumar arrive at Colton's house the day before the wedding. Harold goes to tell Colton of their situation, instructing Kumar to remain in the car or their friendship is over. However, Kumar sees Vanessa, who is outside in search of a joint she hid outside, fall and twist her ankle, prompting him to leave the car. Kumar treats her ankle and the pair nearly kiss until their are interrupted by Colton and a fuming Harold, who sees that Kumar left the car. Vanessa is taken inside and Colton takes the pair to the airport, where he promises that he has taken care of everything. However, Harold and Kumar discover that they are instead going to be taken back into custody by Fox. Colton reveals that he never had any intention of helping either of them, prompting Harold to promise revenge.

On the plane, Harold remains angry at Kumar, who apologizes for getting them into their predicament and promises to change. Harold draws a can of mace from his pocket on the pretense of giving marijuana to the agents that are accompanying them, and the pair overpower their captors. However, they are sucked outside of the airplane when the door is accidentally opened. Harold, the only one wearing the parachute, is able to get a hold of Kumar, who is in free fall. Harold deploys the parachute and as they dodge gunfire from Fox, who jumped out after the pair without a parachute, who presumably falls to his death. They land in President George W. Bush's[1][4][2] Texas home in Crawford, Texas, where the President is hiding to avoid attending the aforementioned wedding. After bonding over marijuana, the President pardons the pair and sends the Secret Service to help them. Harold and Kumar object to the wedding, revealing Colton's true nature. Enraged, Colton attacks Harold, who promptly levels him with a knee to the stomach and a punch in the face. Vanessa is angry at Kumar for embarrassing her at the wedding, but forgives him when he recites the poem that he had been writing on the day they met, but was to embarrassed to share with her until now. The three leave the wedding, heading to Amsterdam, where Harold finds Maria, who appears to be with another man, but is actually in the middle of a photoshoot. Still, she finds the gesture romantic and no harm is done. The movie ends with everyone enjoying the city and its offerings.

After the credits, Neil Patrick Harris is shown waking up from his presumed demise, cursing his wounds.

A gang of men led by German terrorist Hans Gruber invade the building, under the pretense of gaining the release of various terrorist operatives. The party-goers are subdued and it is revealed that the group are actually thieves; they plan to use the false terrorist crisis to cover their looting of $640 million in bearer bonds from the building's vault. Theo, the group's technical mastermind, begins disabling the vault locks, warning Gruber that the final electromagnetic lock is uncrackable.

McClane slips away during the party round-up, and his attempt to summon help brings him into confrontation with gang member Tony. Tony is killed, prompting the man's brother, Karl, to lead a hunt for the police officer through the building. McClane convinces a Los Angeles Police Department radio operator to send a patrol unit to Nakatomi, then secures the attention of responding officer Al Powell by dropping one of the terrorists onto the patrol car's hood. He also takes C4 explosives and detonators off the body of another terrorist.

Fox Plaza in Los Angeles, portrayed in the film as Nakatomi Plaza.The LAPD responds in force, but this only accelerates Gruber's timetable. The LAPD attempts to take over the building by sending a SWAT team and then an armored vehicle, but both are repelled by Gruber's men. When Gruber ignores McClane's request to back down, McClane retaliates by bombing an entire floor of the building with the rest of the C4 in McClane's possession. Holly's coworker Ellis reveals McClane's identity to Gruber and is murdered when McClane does not return the detonators.

While checking on the explosives set beneath the roof, Gruber finds himself in an unplanned face-to-face meeting with McClane and attempts to pass himself off as a hostage. Karl and his men interrupt the conversation and McClane loses the detonators as he flees. As he tends his wounds, Powell tells him via radio how he had shot a youth "armed" with a toy gun and became a desk sergeant afterwards.

The FBI arrives on the scene and orders the building's power cut. This merely deactivates the final lock on the vault, and Gruber "negotiates" with the FBI to release the hostages on the rooftop via helicopter. The FBI agents plan to double cross the "terrorists" with a surprise gunship attack, even if it means losing some of the hostages, but Gruber has wired the top of the building with the C4 and plans to blow it up to cover his escape.

Just as McClane discovers the primed C4, he is attacked by Karl. After a vicious battle, McClane leaves him for dead. Outside the building, a TV reporter named Richard Thornburg finds McClane's children and interviews them. Gruber realizes that Holly is McClane's wife and takes her aside as a special hostage. Theo goes to the parking garage to prepare the group's getaway ambulance. Argyle, who has been watching the situation on his limo's TV, rams the vehicle and punches Theo unconscious.

McClane drives the hostages back down to safety, but the FBI fires at him and Gruber proceeds with the C4 detonation. The resulting explosion destroys the FBI helicopter. McClane escapes the blast by jumping over the side of the building with a fire hose tied around his waist.
McClane confronts Gruber as Gruber holds Holly at gunpoint. McClane tricks Gruber with a false surrender and shoots him, knocking the man out a shattered window and dropping him thirty stories to his death. As McClane and his wife leave the building, Karl reappears one last time, only to be gunned down by Powell. Thornburg approaches the couple for an interview, but Holly punches him in the face and couple departs the scene in Argyle's battered limo.
