It is probably the first film to take its title from a slogan on a car number plate. You may not know which film I am discussing, particularly if you are in the UK. Here in the US, Bruce Willis’ latest outing as John McClane is called “Live Free or Die Hard”, a reference to New Hampshire’s license plate slogan. It seems that in the UK, the film is called Die Hard 4.0. I am not sure why the film received a different title; maybe it was assumed that non-US markets would not get the reference.
The title for this post comes from a working title for the movie, a reference back to the second in the series, Die Harder
Die Hard 4.0 = Die Hard For Nothing?
