    I used to work in that building for a couple of years back around 2006. It was pretty cool being in the Die Hard Nakatomi plaza ;) Thanks for the video, it brought back some good memories.

    I LOVE the red hue of the Los Angeles skyline as it gets dark. The shot of the Nakatomi Plaza building in the distance surrounded by red sky has always stuck with me. It's a beautiful and now iconic shot, the calm before the storm no doubt.

    I wish they would've let you guys go all the way up to the roof.
    I am very impressed on how many of the locations were actually _in_ that very building and not some studio set. There are many inner offices and sets of stairs I've always wondered if they were real locations or set locations. I say this video deserves a sequel where you show us the inside of the building, whenever you get permission or something!
    Great video!

    This isn't really my genre of movie, but I watched it for Alan Rickman.The scene where he falls from the top of the building, Alan did the stunt himself and hurt his back when he landed the wrong way on the air cushion. Also, the look on his face when he falls is genuine. He was told they were going to release his harness on the count of three and released on two.
