25 Things You Didn't Know About Die Hard With A Vengeance
21. There Was A SECOND Alternate Ending (That Was Never Shot)
But wait, there's more!
Although only two endings were filmed for Die Hard with a Vengeance, there was a third that was used in an earlier draft of the film.
In this version, McClane and Zeus swim to safety after the explosion on the boat, bemoaning that Simon got away. McClane wryly says that he's not so sure, with the scene shifting to the terrorists on the plane, now in possession of the briefcase bomb the pair had disarmed in Central Park. Simon asks if anyone has a four gallon jug, and then dies in the explosion, but this version was rejected relatively early in the film's production.
