Zippy the Bummer posted:but the release date says july 3rd? I always assumed it was just a marketing-driven reminder of the July 4 weekend release... I just Googled out of curiosity, and the answer is actually kind of cool: Another studio owned the rights to the name 'Independence Day', so Fox flooded the market with ID4-labelled materials with 'Independence Day' subheader mentions (where 'independence day' on the materials could be passed off as a technicality because that was the release date weekend) and inserted new dialogue into Pullman's speech to get realistic usage rights granted to the specific title which was gathering dust. "...Devlin and Pullman decided to add "Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!" to the end of the speech. At the time, the production was nicknamed "ID4" because Warner Bros. owned the rights to the title 'Independence Day', and Devlin had hoped if Fox executives noticed the addition in dailies, the impact of the new dialogue would help them win the rights to the title. The right to use the title was eventually won two weeks later."

Xenomrph posted:Those are good ones, but ID4 just has the perfect balance of wanton property damage, lighthearted tone while still having some token "serious" bits, quippy/quotable and memorable characters, and a bombastic, memorable soundtrack. You make some good points. I love ID4 so I'm not gonna argue. Is the only "bad" human character in the movie the Secretary of Defense? And even then, he's really not that bad. I hope the sequel is all gritty and dark - Earth plunged into a planetwide shadow of death and destruction, and only Cyber Will Smith can save the day.
