Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

58 Minutes (1987): 1 line

lineage (source material) · through Die Hard 2 (1990), which they acted in: 58 Minutes ⇒ Die Hard 2 (the host's read). The screenplay was adapted from Walter Wager's 1987 novel with a similar plot.
“Screenplay was adapted from Walter Wagers.”
The Rewatchables · ‘Die Hard 2’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:19:50 · Bill Simmons (0.80 sure it was them)

Manuel Noriega: 1 line

lineage (real-world inspiration) · through Die Hard 2 (1990), which they acted in: Manuel Noriega ⇒ Die Hard 2 (the maker said so: the screenwriter admitted it). The writer admitted the script grabbed smoke from Iran-Contra and Manuel Noriega.
“there's definitely some Iran Contra, kind of, they're just grabbing smoke from that whole scandal and shoehorning into this with Manuel Noriega in real life.”
The Rewatchables · ‘Die Hard 2’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:20:16 · Bill Simmons (0.70 sure it was them)

Drawn on by

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

Positive K: 1 line

lineage (lineage) · through Die Hard 2 (1990), which they acted in: Die Hard 2 ⇒ Positive K (the host's read). Positive K's song 'I Got a Man' samples a line from Die Hard 2, so the song now brings the movie to mind.
“And then that line got sampled on, I got a man, the positive K song. So now every time you hear that song, you hear that line from that movie.”
The Rewatchables · ‘Die Hard 2’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:43:06 · Chris Ryan (0.50 sure it was them)
