Why Under Siege felt like Die Hard — but won fansAdded:
Well, let's just put let's just put the let's just the elephant in the room quickly with this one because we already know this was nothing more than a die hard want to be that turned out to be very successful. This Speed, Passenger 57, others, that's what this is, you know, it's nothing but a want to be, but it's a want to be that took on a life of its own. Mhm.
Oh, yeah. I'll you bring up Speed like don't get me wrong, I like that movie, but if I had to choose this or Speed, I'm probably going to pick this.
