Filmmaker Kevin Smith was amazed when Bruce Willis threatened to quit the upcoming Die Hard sequel if a studio executive didn't allow him to use his own dialogue. Clerks director Smith has a small role in Live Free Or Die Hard and re-wrote his lines for the part. But when Willis, who returns as police officer John MCClane for a fourth time in the movie, found out studio bosses weren't happy with the changes, he gave them an ultimatum. Smith says, "Bruce just sat there on the phone going, 'Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh,' and then, 'Let me ask you a question - who's your second choice to play John MCClane?' "There was a long pause, and then he went, 'That's what I thought,' and hung up."
