25 Things You Didn't Know About Die Hard With A Vengeance

5. It Got Parodied In The Incredibles

It what is assumedly the only connection between Die Hard and Pixar, the scene where Zeus tries to get the payphone while being held at gunpoint by a cop was later referenced in The Incredibles, again with Samuel L. Jackson.

After being caught doing vigilante things by a shaky cop (sound familiar?), Jackson's character - the superhero formerly known as Frozone - slowly reaches for a nearby cup of water, in a manner not all that dissimilar to how Zeus reaches for the phone in Die Hard with a Vengeance.
