Problem from a movie

I think I saw this film - wasn't it one of the French 'Art house' type?

With bombs and machine guns

If I'm wrong, don't be concerned.
This death is very quick, you won't feel a thing.

How do you pose to do this?

Water poured on to the scale(the deactivating device) would just run off.

You ONLY HAVE THE TWO JUGS.

You would have to pour into the 5L jug since it is the only one that can hold 4L.
This leave the 3L jug to pour from which means you would have to refill the jug to pour the fourth L.
In this time the scale would settle registering less than 4L and explode.

I think you are confused about the scenario in the first place.
You aren't pouring anything onto the scale.
You are placing one jug with 4 L in it on to the scale.
EDIT - The scale is the deactivating device.
Does that help?

I have my own 4L jug, I'll use that.

Why should I obey any rules when my life is at stake?
No way. I don't risk my own life by following any rules. That's it.

Thats like saying when falling down a cliff "Why should I obey any rules when my life is at stake, pah gravity is for the weak"

You don't have any choice. Thats the way it is you don't have anyway to change them.

Then, who is to blame?
The filmproducer?
Or the manuscript-writer, he who wrote the evil plot?

I'm glad this is only a movie. I don't die even if I put 3, 4 or 5 liters in the damn bomb deactivator. I just rewind the tape and try again.

Die Hard with a Vengeance.

I think it was actually called "Die Hard Without Two Measuring Jugs, Some Water and a Basic Grasp of Maths"

But was it really so hard to die in that movie?
