Before becoming Die Hard with a Vengeance, the script was owned by Warners who intended it to be a Lethal Weapon film.
So instead of Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson running around New York with wisecracks, we could have had Mel Gibson and Danny Glover running around Los Angeles with wisecracks.
Can totally see it, would have been a perfect fit as well.

Did you know that Bruce Willis is actually on three foot six but they add height in post production.

Alright, well did you know that Die Hard was based on the novel Nothing Lasts Forever and that book was a sequel to a book called the Detective which was turned into a movie starting Frank Sinatra also called The Detective. And because Sinatra had first played the character McLane was based on, they were contractually obliged to offer Die Hard to him? He turned it down.

Quite right too, he couldn't repeat that kind of iconic character he'd already created in the Dirty Harry films.
