    Before I get into this reaction, and I don’t mean to piss anyone off here: the guy who wrote the screenplay, Jeb Stuart, said he wrote it as a Christmas movie. When the guy who writes the movie (and I know it’s based on a novel, but very loosely) says he meant it to be something, we should probably defer to him.

    First off, Hans was robbing the vault of "bearer bonds" meaning that the bonds are not signed over to any particular individual or corporate entity, they literally belong to the bearer, or whoever has possession of them, like ash.
    The other thing is I think the plan was to blow the roof when all the hostages and helicopters were there so that there were no survivors. the police would have had to identify all the bodies to account for everyone before they realized that the "terrorists" were not among them (and since DNA identification wasn't a thing when this came out, with most of the bodies vaporized most would never be identified and the "terrorists" assumed dead). By then, they would have slipped their ambulance in among all the other emergency vehicles and drove away in all the confusion unnoticed.

    I like to refer to Hans' fall as "death by Rolex" since the watch was either caught on his jacket or Hans had a finger slipped under the band when he dragged Holly toward the window.😁 Also, if you didn't already know, the director "officially" instructed the fall count as three but secretly told the holder drop Alan on two; and that is how you get the amazing look of surprise when he falls! 😉

    The first posters for this movie didn’t have Bruce Willis’s picture on it cause at the time he was known for comedy not action and they didn’t want people thinking it was a comedy (which it’s kind of an action/comedy). It’s surprising how much control Bruce had on this film. He got to choose the actress playing his wife and how John should act. The list of people that they wanted to play John McClain is interesting. They wanted John Travolta to play McClain but Fox said no cause they figured he was a “has been”. Alan Rickman almost passed this movie up. He barely got to Hollywood and wasn’t sure about his first role being a villain but it turned out to be the best idea. 13:48 when Karl hands Theo the dollar bill was improvised by the actor thinking the guys would’ve had a bet on if Hans would’ve shot the guy. 22:05 originally he was supposed to hit the first vent but the stuntman messed up and didn’t grab the first one so they kept it in and edited in John grabbing the second vent. 33:44 when Ellis says “Hans…Bubby” Alan Rickman’s expression was real cause Hart Bochner ad-limbed the line and threw Alan off a bit. It’s also thought when they give Ellis a glass of coke is because the misunderstood him when he asked for some “coke”. 36:23 at least Ellis did one smart thing before he died. He said John was his guest and not there for Holly. 39:02 the way Hans holds his cigarette is apparently how Europeans hold their cigarettes which was supposed to be how John realized who he was. 55:39 I love how they bring back the watch that Ellis gave her. The look on Alan Rickman’s face is real the director told Alan that they’d drop him on the count of three. They dropped him 40 feet onto an airbag with a blue screen backing 58:40 that’s funny you said that they have a “Die Hard” advent calendar where each day Hans gets closer to falling to his death.

The Christmas ingredients throughout coupled with the right balance of action, drama and comedy make this film timeless.

    All the indicators are that she's in LA because her job took her there, but he couldn't follow her because his job was in New York. Doesn't he even say that to Argyle in the car? Argyle says 'So you thought she would crash and burn in LA so she'd have to come crawling back to you?' and McLane says 'You're pretty quick, Argyle.' But neither of them wants their relationship to be at an end, which is why she invited him to the Christmas party and he obviously said 'I'll be there if I can', which is why she isn't sure that he will turn up when she calls her babysitter.

    This movie launched careers. It was Alan Rickman's first movie, he was an unknown British stage actor until this movie launched his long career of villainry. The only thing Bruce Willis had done was a rom-com TV show called "Moonlighting," nobody believed he could be an action star until this movie shattered expectations.

    At the end scene Rickman feel 30ft onto an airbag for real and the stuntman holding him
    said on the count of three I'll let you go. Well the stuntman dropped Rickman on 1 hence the total look of surprise on his face.👍🇬🇧☃️

    Thanks, Zuff! Thanks, Rob! Thanks, Bryce! 💥 John McTiernan directed this one. ෴ To clarify the conjecture Rob made; indeed "yippee ki-yay mutha fucka" originated in this movie... but "yippee" is from the 15th century. And "yippee ki-yay" is likely a derivation of "yippee yi yo ki-ay" which was a lyric in a song from the 1940s called "I'm An Old Cowhand" and was used in a movie. You can hear it sung by Roy Rogers on RUclips. That's probably where the character of 'John McClane' heard it from. He seems the sort to like flicks about the Old West.

    Fun fact: Alan Rickman's reaction to being dropped was genuine. He was actually scared. They let him go early instead of on 3 to get a better reaction as he fell.

    I just stared following you guys a few weeks ago and am really enjoying your reactions! Glad to see you reacting to this one. Die Hard has been one of my favorite Christmas movies since the first time I saw it in the theater when it first came out! 🎄 Gotta give props to Rob. This is at least the second reaction I’ve watched where Rob has already seen the movie but never says a word throughout, letting Bryce and Zach enjoy the movie without commentary or spoilers (which is also annoying for the viewers as well). 👍🏻👏🏻

    No... this movie didnt come up with Yippie Ki Yay... all this did was ad Morherfucker to it... After Hans says hes an American who wants to be John Wayne... John says "I was partial to Roy Rogers actually"... Roy Rogers was "The Singing Cowboy"... and he had a famous song where he sings Yippie Ki Yay.
    In the 90s Nickelodon had a cowboy sitcom called Hey Dude.. that used it in its theme song, though theirs is "Yippie ti yie yay... Like the Cowboys Say"

    It would not have been difficult to cash in the bonds because they were *bearer* bonds. These bonds are unregistered, and therefore belong to the whoever *bears* the paper instrument. Hans would just need to present the paper to the issuer on the maturity date and get cash or have money transferred to whatever account he wanted with no questions asked because he had the bond paper in hand. They helped people invest anonymously, but they also were good ways to evade taxes or launder money, and they were convenient things to forge. I don't know if any companies still issue them, but no government entity in the U.S. issues them anymore for those very reasons.

    An interesting bit of trivia: The actor that played Karl was Alexander Godunov a famour Russian Ballet dancer. He was the premier dancer with the Bolshoi Ballet troupe. He defected to the US in 1979 and while still dancing began working as a supporting actor. You may have seen him in the movie Witness with Harrison Ford. He died in 1995.
    Also the reason Alan Rickman looked so scared from his fall from the building is he was being held by a rope to fall 40 feet to a pad beneath but they tricked him and told him he would be released on the count of three but they released him on the count of one.
    All the actors in this were incredible. Even the small parts. It is just my opinion but the only one worth watching other than this one is #2. The others were good but not up to these standards. I think one of the reasons these held up so well was due to ensemble cast for both of these movies even though not all of the actors were known.

    • @Divamarja_CA
      @Divamarja_CA 7 месяцев назад

      One other noteworthy snippet re: Godunov is that while he was in the act of defecting, his wife - another dancer with the ballet troupe - was kept in a plane on the runway in New York City (at his insistence) while she was given time to decide to defect as well. She eventually decided to go back to Russia, and they divorced.

Bein a nurse, I mos def noted that sum medical/mental condition possibly requiring medication is up with Zuff. I AM so proud that he is participating & especially bout yalls patient accepting reactions to his idiosyncracies, erratic movements, answers to his questions, etc. Maybe due to side effects of the 'meds'. Yeah, he took a minute to try to unnerstand this one. All yall are my HEROES! 😊At first I was hesitant bout commenting, but afta reading unknowing/unaware comments bout Zuff, I feel compelled to school folks. I could be wrong but Iown think so.
