The movie takes place on the July 4 weekend, so why is Lucy living at her dorm at Rutgers University? Wouldn't the university normally be closed during the summer months? [Nope. Most universities offer classes year round.] Answered by Phixius Whenever there is a computer problem, the hackers press the delete button thus blowing up the bomb. The terrorist killing the hackers are anticipating they will press the delete button to solve their computer problems. My question is, how do these hackers think they are going to solve their computer problems by pressing the delete button? My girlfriend is a software engineer and even she is scratching her head over this. [On windows (and all IBM compatible machines) the key combination Ctrl + Alt + Delete causes a system interrupt which can be used to terminate a malfunctioning program. Most people use this command by first pressing Ctrl + Alt together, then pressing the Delete key. All we see in the shot it the Delete key, we have no way to tell that they aren't pressing the others as well.] Answered by roboc Near the end of the film, when McClane, his daughter Lucy, and the hacker Matt Farrell are about to leave in the ambulance, there is a sign with the number 5 hanging out of a warehouse in the background - does this mean there will be a Die Hard 5? [Looks like a standard 5 mph speed sign to me. You can't read too much into that. In addition though, Bruce Willis has already stated in a few interviews that he'd be more than happy to do another one.] Is the "Fire Sale" procedure used in this movie a real-world idea or just a movie creation? Could it ever happen? [It is strictly hypothetical and most likely couldn't happen without having many, many insiders and the best hackers in the world, but even then, who knows if that could be probable in a "Post 9/11" climate.] Answered by Jason RileyYou may also like: Iron Man | I Am Legend | Cloverfield | Transformers | Die Hard
