 The 2003 R1 DVD version includes an alternate ending showing McClane  and Simon playing a game of chicken with a rocket launcher. In  this alternate version, Simon Gruber and his crew get away with the  gold and months later, McClane tracks Simon down in Eastern Europe.  The number on the bottom of the asprin bottle (at the phone booth)  leads McClane to Gruber. The gold is turned into small miniatures of  the Empire State building and smuggled out of the country. McClane  is thrown off the force, with the police thinking that he may  actually be involved in the heist. The "game" that McClane and Simon  play is about riddles that they give each other, and they are each  supposed to figure out the answer within a few seconds. McClane  shoots Simon with the Chinese rocket launcher and the last line of  the movie, as he stands up from the table and walks away is, "Yipee  kayay motherfucker".
