Sacrilege’s Latin ety/mon(day)/ was formed of sacer, "sacred" and legere, "to gather or steal"; sacrilege is "the stealing of sacred things" or doing other violence to them.

Music composer Michael Kamen at first thought it was a "sacrilege" to use Beethoven in an action movie, telling McTiernan: "I will make mincemeat out of Wagner or Strauss for you, but why Beethoven?" McTiernan replied that Ode to Joy had been the theme of the ultra-violence in Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange (1971). Kamen, a Kubrick fan, then agreed.
