How The Die Hard Movies Changed

- Just an FYI - this video is in dispute with Fox over copyright. If it disappears I haven't taken it down, they have.
The Diehard films are a series of action movies that began in 1988 and had its most recent entry in 2013, taking almost one and a half billion at the box office, and producing an immense amount of ongoing interest and profit from videogames and merchandise. The series follows John McClane, played by Bruce Willis in his most iconic role, as he gets into a number of dangerous situations in which only he can save the day - he’s consistently at the wrong place at the wrong time. Willis’ role as McClane made him an A-lister, but the role was previously offered to Clint Eastwood, Burt Reynolds, and Richard Gere.
Mentioned Movies: The Detective (1968), Die Hard (1988), Die Hard 2 (1990), Die Hard With Vengeance (1995), Live Free Or Die Hard / Die Hard 4.0 (2007), A Good Day To Die Hard (2013).
Drinking Game: Everytime I say McClane or there's a balding man on screen, take a drink.
Caution: Can cause death.
Georg Rockall-Schmidt . I don't drink. but its just as fun as a toke game.
cheers.
and light em up folks.

Do you think that pacing in movies in general became much better? It's sometimes very hard to watch movies from the 80's now, and I'm not even talking about the 60's.
But maybe that's just me
24 minute video about one of my favourite movie series with the glorious lava lamp? dont mind if i do!
Georg Rockall-Schmidt you just killed me sir. i hope youre happy
I can't find you on Twitter.
I don't agree that the McClane/Powell scenes in the first film feel like padding. I think they add a human element and contribute to making McClane more relateable. The first Die Hard is one of my favorite films ever.
Yeah, I agree with you. Powell and McClane share some emotional scenes that give the film more heart. Padding are scenes you could cut out and they wouldn't hurt the movie. Taking these scenes out would have hurt the character or the film.
Anders Enggaard i agree completely, not only aren't they padding, but the are essential to the movie in so many ways. First it provides for pauses in the action, while still being focused on McClain, next it helps show the passage of time, and how the situation wears on McClain. Add ti this the fact that they give McClain more if a story than just being Super Cop, and allows the audience to grow more attached to McClain himself, as opposed to just some random person in an action movie. Without these scenes I don't think the movie would have done nearly as well as the audiences wouldn't have been invested in McClain not to mention the movie would feel rushed.
Exactly! The end scene where McClain finally meets Powell, hugs him, and completely breaks down is one of my favorite movie scenes of all time. You can hear the sheer relief and anguish in McClain's voice, and it makes you realize just how important that human connection on the other end of the walkie-talkie was for keeping him sane. Without those earlier scenes between Powell and McClain, a lot would be missing from the movie. The ending definitely wouldn't have been as strong, imo.
I completely agree. The scenes with Powell and McClane are probably my favorite scenes in the entire film.
I ship it
Imagine if a 70-year-old Frank Sinatra accepted the offer to star in 'Die Hard'.
It would be like a worse Charles Bronson in the death wish movies. Potential schlock gold. Interestingly, or not so much. But Willis went on to do that death wish remake.. Probably not a good sign
Well, the character in the book it's based on is older, like ag least in his 60's so it could have worked but would have been a very different movie..
@@Elazam and the previous novel was adopted into a movie staring Frank Sinatra
I somewhere heard that Bruce Willis played as a crowd actor in The Detective
He could have at least played the chairman of the board.
I honestly hate the idea of a prequel, because it kind of undermines the fact that the original is the first time that has ever happened to McClane.
But just think of all that money!!!
GTAfan421 there seems to be a good idea for a die hard year one foalting around..the author even took out an ad in varairty
Why do a prequel Willis was young and good looking at the time I wish I touched him
He was a cop, so presumably _something_ happened to him before Die Hard.

What I love about the first DIE HARD, is that every fight, every kill feels personal. We get to know the antagonists names and implissit backstories. They are people, not faceless gons. Every fight feels like a bossbattle.
Alan Rickman was glorious in this movie.
Unquestionable evil he managed to make you describing him as "suave".
Not many "suave" things that kill people.
He rocked Die Hard just as easily as he dominated the screen in Robin Hood.
And a great way to start his film career
His role as the bad guy in "Quigley Down Under" was just as memorable.
100% agree.
An exceptional thief
Die Hard 3 wouldn't have worked without Samuel L. Jackson. Their Partnership was perfect in that movie.
I think Michael Scott said it best when he said "You know what, here's the thing about Die Hard 4. Die Hard one, the original, John McClane was just this normal guy. You know, he's just a normal New York City cop, who gets his feet cut, and gets beat up. But he's an everyday guy. In Die Hard 4, he is jumping a motorcycle into a helicopter. In air. You know? He's invincible. It just sort of lost what Die Hard was. It's not Terminator."
TheGoldenCaulk I dont know who Michael Scott is, but that's a great quote.
Michael Scott is the name of Steve Carrell's character in The American version of The Office.
Skooma Joe He's the main character in The US Office. You should check it out. It's very, very funny.
I don't agree with that. People exaggerate the extent to which John McClane does impressive things in the fourth movie. He doesn't come off as invincible unless - because it's the fourth film - you've given up entirely on suspension of disbelief.
none of the sequels really get that right.
The fifth movie also fails at geography, because the Chernobyl plant is not even in Russia.
Don't you know that every Slavic nation is simply Russia?

Cheeki Breeki iv damke! This S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is right opaa! People outside of the Zone just don't know anything.
Yes, but at that time no American knew any former soviet state apart from Russia. They played to their main market's ignorance.
As someone else once pointed the Die Hard 3 is made like being an opposite of the first one: New York vs. Los Angeles, open space instead of closed one, day vs. night, summer vs. winter, communicating with the antagonist with radio/phone instead of communicating with the helper with one.
Shocked he didn't mention Theo the computer guy in Die Hard 1. He was a very memorable character in that movie.
Yea he was played by Clarence Gilyard Jr who was in Top Gun in 1986 and was in the Chuck Norris tv show Walker Texas Ranger in the 1990s as Ranger Trivette
The quarterback is TOAST!!
Who ??
The police have themselves an RV.
@@lordmoncef5494 Theo, Christmas miracles, quarterback is toast
I feel like "The Last Boy Scout" was more of a Die Hard movie than the 5th Die Hard
There is no such thing as a fifth Die Hard lol. Just like there's only 3 Indiana Jones movies.
Also "Unbreakable" is just John McClane with more superpowers than in Die Hard with a Vengeance
Absolutely! A few tweaks here and there and "Last Boy Scout" could have easily been a Die Hard movie without any problem.
Absolutely
Finally RUclips suggested me a channel with quality content. Keep up the good work, i'm hooked up!
Tell EVERYONE! Let's build Georg's subscription base. His stuff deserves a yuge audience.
I'm surrised his channel hasn't appeared in my feed and searches before, I've been gawping at movie stuff for more than long enough. Just shows how broken the YT system is in many ways.
He reminds me a bit of the moviedrome intro guy on BBC2 waaay back, just talking about movies in an interesting an thought provoking manner, what ordinary TV used to be able to do 20 years ago.
Georg, if you get censored, remember minds.com and vid.me.
I have more time on my hands now to watch
It's always strange how little love Die Hard 2 gets. It's my favourite of the bunch! I love that it focuses more on McClane and idk I like the atmosphere of the airport a lot.
Lava Lamp 2: Lava Lamper
Grey, The Mad King
They announced Lava Lamp 3: The Lamp of Lava
Can't wait.
They're apparently going to do a breif hiatus after 3 to avoid over saturation, but then they'll come back stronger with Lava Lamp 4: The Last New Lamp Awakens
Grey, The Mad King Lava lamp 3: Silence of the lava-lamps
After that, Mad Lava: Lava Road
Then, Zero Cool, after another hiatus, comes the announcement of a prequel: Lava--Dawn of the Lamp.
die hard is as series of movies about a man loosing hair, being pissed about it and taking it out on others

I believe I'm addicted to your channel.
Just imagine you had never heard of the Die Hard series and start watching the first one thinking it was a romantic/family drama. What a great moment when Hans Gruber and his thugs finally enter the movie, turning it 180° into an glorious action classic!
😁😁😁
I always have loved the moments in Die Hard when McClain and he cop are talking on the radio. There's something satisfying about this friendship that develops between them even though they haven't actually met. It's a nice breather before the action starts back up that serves to add some depth to the movie on several different levels. And then near the end when they do finally meet it has more impact. Fucking love Die Hard.
Lava Lamp 4 Life
Its so distracting... Sometimes I just stare at the lava lamp and forget what is being said. Then I rewind and repeat.
RIP Lava lamp :(
Its like hypnotoadddddddddddd mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm huh what?
"...and Robert Patrick fails to turn into liquid metal."
Cheeky, mate.
I like the the Lava Lamp. A lot of times it disagrees with you but in the end has the same purpose you do. Its like you are John and it is Zeus. You both make a good team.
I'm just glad to see that someone else also likes 3 the best. All old Die Hards are great, but 3 is easily the most entertaining. And I never get tired of seeing Willis and Jackson interact with each other, the chemistry is just so strong between them.
Get off the damn phone lady Police business!😂🤦🏽♂️
It was great! 1&3 where the best of the series.
I felt his pain when he forgot the gold bar in the back seat.
1, 2 and 3 in that order.
The first 3 are good films worth watching. 4th is alright and I'd watch it if I randomly found it on some channel. 5th... Actually only watch like 30-45 minutes of it. Just found it boring.
I've said this from the moment the announced DIE HARD: YEAR ONE as the next film: "We don't need a Die Hard prequel. We have one. It's called THE DETECTIVE". That said, apparently DIE HARD: YEAR ONE is based on the comic book of the same name, written by Howard Chayakin. I've read the first four issues...it's not bad. But as it's set in the 70s, it has a very 70s-film style of action. Not sure how that would play today with modern audiences.
His parents don't get shot in an alley, I hope?
@@dreamquesttv no, but Holly's inexplicably a hooker.
im so glad there is someone out there who thinks the 3rd is equal if not better than the first.
There's more of us than you think.
Funn Nugget : Same here, the best trait that "3" has, is that if someone hasn't seen the movies before, "halfway" into the series makes an excellent place to start - as it goes back to the original, without harming the series.
Anthony Lewis....Good point. 3 is fun and you get the back story within the first 10/15 minutes. It's a laugh riot but still with jeopardy.
3 really showed how you could take a franchise, keep it believable, change the formula, and it still be "exactly what it always has been" but evolved. It doesn't counteract, contradict, or retcon anything. There's the whole revenge plot of a man related to Hans that takes over a crazy chase of trying to stay alive and keep others from dying. It was the first one that "buddied" John McClane up with somebody (which would be done in the next 2 sequels), and it changed up the formula. Yes, John was in the city Simon wanted to hit, that's about it. Otherwise, he is a total (and very useful) distraction to what Simon is really after, and by all means, John deserves to live if he made it through all that craziness Simon put him through, but also by all means, he really shouldn't have. It wasn't just "wrong place wrong time" or "guy he has to save" even. Zeus (samuel jackson) didn't even have to hang around-he meant NOTHING to Simon, but he got involved and thus became another distraction.
it’s not nearly as good but it is still really good and easily the second best. maybe if it had an R rating it could have had a chance to top 1.
Timothy Oliphant's two speeds: intensely brooding and brooding intensity.
Sam Jackson's Zeus makes the third installment my favourite. The chemistry between him and Willis makes it the most entertaining for me. The original isn't too far behind, mostly due to Rickman's Gruber, which is one of the best villains ever IMO.
I'm really glad someone else likes Die Hard 3 as much as I do and thinks it rivals the first, just by a little.
It's such a tightly made movie, it's a blast to watch.
Third is my favorite. I like the buddy cop sort of formula with Willis and jackson
I agree that Die Hard and With A Vengeance are the strongest entries into the series. They're both thrilling fun. 5 was truly confusing, I remember watching it and wondering why, why did the studio think to gain from this too oft-repeated formula of modern 'action movies'. It's as if they hadn't seen 'Die Hard' through to 'With a Vengeance'. This isn't to say that a new movie would need to replicate them entirely, but part of the social contract of franchising is that you maintain loyalty to the characters in the originals, with Die Hard 5 that contract was breached.
Live Free was criminally underrated. Watch the unrated, uncensored edition, really, its a great film
Fun fact: Siskel & Ebert actually considered Die Hard 2 to be the best in the franchise. Roger didn't even like the original, while Gene ranked that sequel as the 6th best film of 1990 above the likes of Dances with Wolves and Godfather 3.
@Christopher Marlowe Well-known fact: they were way more respected than the likes of you.
@@shiranuiaensland1442 Fucking relax. Were you lovers of Siskel and Ebert? Jesus.
@@StratumPress How about you and Christopher Marlowe get a room? Hypocrisy at its finest.
@@StratumPress Perhaps start w/ the first guy who replied b/c all I did was inform people of what two famous critics thought instead of referring to how good or bad they were at their jobs.
@@shiranuiaensland1442 Critics are pompous hacks. Their opinions on movies should be considered worthless.
Fun fact about the german version of Die Hard 3: Willi's usual voice actor was off filming a movie so they replaced him with the man who (among others) is providing the voices for Schwarzenegger and Stallone (yes, they have the same voice). It's a bit confusing. ;)
How the hell can you have a prequel to Die Hard? There's nothing to the story, Bruce Willis is the only thing that defines the series. Do they have a clone they've been ageing for this moment?
Die Hard 6: Attack of the Clones
Have Jai Courtney play a time traveler who travels back in time to save his parents marriage. This will work since I'm fairly certain the real McClain was killed off and replaced with a Terminator somewhere between diehard 3 and 4.
The franchise jumped the shark with diehard 4.
boringweek2 it might have jumped the shark with 4 but it nuked the fridge with 5.
I guess a remake of 'The Detective' would count as a 'Die Hard' prequel.

favorite Die Hard 3 joke:
"Why you keep calling me Hey-Zeus?? My name is ZEUS!"

I was actually really surprised with Die Hard 4. It was definitely more PG-13 but still enjoyable as hell.
Die Hard 5 on the other hand.....oooooooooh noooooooooooooo.
not you I too think die hard 4 is underrated.. Its better than 2 in my book
Compare Die Hard 4 to the previous film and you have a perfect example of what's happened to movie making since the mid 90s. Not saying it's terrible - and it is underrated - but DH4 has that pre-cooked, marketing friendly look and feel that the suits want you to see. There's less risk to providing a product that is familiar in as many ways as possible.
Die Hard With a Vengeance is pretty much at the apex of film craft used for 100 years. It never broke and people will still talk about the first 3 Die Hards, and any other action movie made before software replaced hardware.
Who really remembers cgi characters jumping off cgi planes with fondness?
DH4 isn't god awful, but it is meh.
Johnny J you put into words my thoughts on 4. I enjoy 4 immensely but it certainly seems washed out and "kid friendly" and it has more satire about the franchise itself than the law and police system like in the earlier films so there's a focal shift. I thought that the sidekick and villain+minions were greatly realised though and feel charismatic and relatable. But it was definitely a step towards the "big audience big cash" mentality, not to mention the unbelievable action cgi that could've survived without. Then 5 just crash-landed with no soul.
DH4 would undoubtably be hailed in much higher regard if it were not attached to the DH universe. I saw it again not to long ago and was shocked at how much I enjoyed it.
15:00 on one swedish translation they for some of reason replaced "I'm going to marry Donald trump" to (lose translation) "I'm going to be the president's wife". The translator probably didnt think the average Swede at the time know how Donald trump was... but that is one coincident.
Die Hard 3 was based on a previously written, unrelated screenplay ("Simon Says") and later converted into a Die Hard movie by adding the connection to the first one.
Well Actually the reason Mclane gets so heavily involved in Die Hard 2 is because Holly is on one of the Planes that is running low on fuel in danger of crashing.
A passenger jet would never run out of fuel and crash circling the airport. They would divert to the alternate landing location
"I'm sure if the us air force wanted that plane out of the sky they could have made it happen in about three minutes"... Yeah, just like they did on 9-11. Oh wait.... Maybe they didn't want those planes out of the sky on 9-11. Huh.
And the mafia killed Kennedy, and the moon is made out of cheese etc etc
There weren't any armed planes on standby, the jets sent up were without cannon ammunition or missiles.
maybe different coloured lamps for different subjects or genres?
BLASPHEMY!!! BLASPHEMY, I SAY!!! AND THRICE!!! *BLASPHEMY!!!!*
i just realized that bruce willis was 33 years old when die hard 1 came out.
i am now 32 years old and it just feels like he was older. he looks at least 37 in that movie.
Bruce Willis was an extra in the Sinatra movie. You should have mentioned that
Great video, one of my favorite movie franchises. The third film is by far my favorite. The role of John McClane was also offered to Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson & Harrison Ford too.
Do how the Hannibal Lecter films changed
I found this channel yesterday and honestly I am shocked. I looked at the subscriber count expecting a few hundred thousand subs. This channel is so good! I'm sure it will reach 100000 subs really soon.
The original Die Hard is the best film. The lines are written perfectly, the real thing that isn’t discussed enough is that Alan Rickman is the reason why the original is the best to me. Die Hard 2 was fine (not great), 3 was not written with the same craft in my opinion as the first. You did a great job talking about the way Gruber was written, and I don’t think the villain was ever cared for in the same way after.
I grew up with Die Hard 3 and that's always been my favourite
Thank you so much for having your lava lamp shut off for a while before starting the video. So much better when it just started.
I didn't even know there was a fifth one, but seeing what I've seen, I'm thankful. Excellent analysis of a wonderful quadrilogy.
cool vid... btw keep the lava lamp!
I feel like Dredd was basically a spiritual successor to the first Die Hard - a simple plot, good guy stuck in a tower full of bad guys, hero nearly dies, bit of deception and betrayal, villain falls to their death at the end, final scene involves good guys hanging around in front of the building at the end of a long night, some sort of character development resolved.
I think a big part of what makes the Die Hard series great(except 5) is that they have human villains, so to speak. The henchmen aren't robots, I love Al Leong taking candy in the first movie or the "but a kid might..:" bit in 3, or how Olyphant is sarcastic against his people after failing to hold down Lucy. When Die Hard 1 came out, henchmen were just robots with guns and I think Die Hard changed that. 5 tried too but a numbnuts eating a carrot doesn't cut it, sorry.
Nice to see Im not the only one out there who liked the third film. Great movie, right from the scene with McClane toting the sign in downtown Harlem, to the end. Bruce Willis & S.L.J. worked off from each other perfectly. I thought the third film was the most complete of them all.
I just watched Die Hard 1 again after a long time and I do think it's remarkable how well it holds up. It has dated relatively little, despite it's an 80's movie, but unlike many other 80's movies, it doesn't drown in the era it was made in.
can we all agree that Die 5 is bad and should not be considered as part of the saga
nor 4
No, I like 4 and 5. The one I think is the worst in the series is 3.
Porfle Popnecker Wrong
The first one was great the second and 3rd WERE acceptable part 4 getting alitte far fetched AND part 5 sucked 2 me not a die HARD movie!!!
totally. I have no idea how, it was actually the only one originally being written as a script to be a sequel to die hard, and just somehow ends up feeling like a decent bruce willis led action-film.
Meanwhile Live Free or Die Hard was based off an article now far less famous than the actual film,
Die Hard with a Vengeance was a seperate film called "Simon Says,"
and Die Hard 2 was an adaptation of another book from a different series from the same author that original die hard was based on.
Also, they cast Jai Courtney, and couldn't even get the location of chernobyl right.
nice references to their origins. more of where films got their stories from / films we didn't know were remakes please
The first Die Hard made a huge impression on me, I remember watching it as a young kid staying up late and I think it was probably the first action film I'd ever seen. I was hooked though, it was brilliant.
Ho Ho Ho, now I have a machine gun!
Die hard 4 : die hardererer
but we never ever got Die Hardest!
Keep the lamp please.
It's the most entertaining thing that i have found on youtube.
(Your commentary about movies is good too)
Also, I LOVE your breakdown/discussion of how "Die Hard 4", despite having many of the same elements of the previous, is a clear departure merely by virtue of the era of film it is a part of. I have always observed this kind of thing with various series, and struggled to articulate/put it into words...the ways in which there are these kind of 'invisible lines' that get crossed, where completely apart from the individual script, acting, etc, there's a change in ANY film being released, where "this is what movies are now"--you don't see it happening in progress, but looking back its clear as day. It's the root cause of a lot of nostalgia and/or, especially with series of any kind, the archetypal "man, I wish they would go back to making them like they did with [blah blah]", when what people are really longing for, without even realizing it, is an entire bygone era, even if it's not that long ago. ...Shit, now I'm wondering if my post even makes sense. Lol
I have never seen a Die Hard film. I just love how you analyze movies.
I had a huge crush for the girl who played McClain’s daughter in die hard 4, which is probably why I liked The Thing 2011
You watched Scott Pilgrim?
Mary Elizabeth Winstead was perfectly cast as McClane`s daughter in Die Hard 4. She was totally worthy of your crush!
She's so hot I'd eat the corn out of her shit.
@@ktom5262 and she shows her ass in Fargo. 😍
Great educational piece, love the lamp as always. Thanks for a great twenty-three minutes and forty-eight seconds to enjoy prior to going to work and losing all hope in humanity
Have you ever seen Red Dwarf?
You remind me of Norman Lovett.
That's totally a good thing.
Tom !!! Holly for the win! "Everyone is dead Dave. Dave, everyone is dead. Oh, smeg it."
Came for the Lamp, stayed for Die Hard
How long could Mc Clane just be a regular guy at the wrong place at the wrong time ? The kind of over the top, superheroic feeling he gives in the fourth comes from the fact that he's previous adventures somehow alter him. You just can't forget that somehow he singlehandedly save a building from robbers, an Airport from rogue soldiers and New-York from bombers.
It's interesting hearing that explanation of Die Hard being a sequel to The Detective considering I've always heard it was originally intended as a sequel to Commando.
My ranking because everyone is dying to know: 3, 1, 4, 2, 5 doesn't exist. For some reason I'm unusually soft on 2.
"Robert Patrick fails to turn into liquid metal" is a sentence that makes me feel like something is wrong with the universe in a way I didn't know was possible.
Downloading, in case the FOX has something to say.
If it does get taken down I'll put it back up with alterations, but please download away!
I wouldn't mind seeing the alternate timeline where Sinatra said: "Hell yea! I'll saddle up for one more film!"
What are your thoughts on Event Horizon? I would love to see your analysis.
I think the movie doesn't even know what's happening... it's a bit of a jump-scare-happy, gore-porn mess.
jeff peake I have my own opinion, I would just like to hear his take on it.
you are better off checking Good Bad Flicks channel for those kind of movies
Gerald Darden Hellraiser in Space.
Brilliant film, cult clsasic. Just really hoping the directors cut will finally see the light of day.
In "Die Hard 6: Die Harderer With More of a Vengeance", Bruce Willis plays the role of John McClaine's grandfather.
Pretty sure his wife being on one of the holding planes is his main motivator in DE2.
I think my favourite part of Live Free or Die Hard was when Maggie Q's character was pretending to be a police dispatcher and Justin Long's character recognized her voice, so McClane tries tricking her with radio codes (I forget which one he used) and she went along with it, saying the whole force was being dispatched and he goes "Really, the whole force showed up for a naked guy?" and the look on her face was like "Fuck, I walked right into that one."
I remember taking the Universal studios tour when "die harder" had just hit theaters. The guide made a joke saying the next film will be "die hardest" and the final film will just be called "Dead".
Wow, $366,000,000 was the highest grossing in 1995. Times have changed.
I really liked the 4th Movie because it showed an Old School 80s Action Hero in the 2000. The scene where he has no idea how a Webcam works is really good. So is the action. The 5th Movie is one of the worst movies. No Soul, boring action and no Die Hard.
The primary reason that he keeps pushing himself back into the danger, IMHO, is because his wife is on one of the planes, and he knows that if he doesn't get involved, it's possible that she could be killed.
This channels stocks are rising, subscribe now and boast to future followers how you were here from the beginning or regret the inevitable assumption that you just hopped on the bandwagon
With a Vengeance is probably my favorite. It's close with the first one, but Bruce and Sam together are dynamite
I love lamp!
Oh fuck off you big lamp.
Lava lamp! Lava lamp two the sequel. Lava Lamp Hard. Lava Lamp Harder. I had no idea there even was a Die Hard part 5. We really do learn something useless every day.
Fun fact: in Brazil the 4th movie was called Die Hard 4.0 .
That's what it was called in most of the world
I think Leon Thomas put it best when he called his analysis of Die Hard's sequels and imitators "Everyone Wants To Be Die Hard Except Die Hard".
Now i wish there actually was a "Die Harderer"
14:35 THANK YOU for letting me know about this ending...WOW!!!
What are the chances that both Hillary and Trump get 'shout outs,' in the same movie (3rd one)?. Hmm.

jermaine tobin I'm sure some consistency theorist will some how link it to 911
Didn't he also have a cameo in Home Alone 2?
🤷♂️
I think you (@Person Place) are just making links where there aren’t
@@saschamayer4050 Trump has had cameo's in several films and series, mostly in the 90's. It was a requirement in exchange for allowing a scene to be filmed inside one of his buildings
MaClane's screen time was scaled back in favor of building the supporting characters because Bruce Willis was shooting "moonlighting" during the day and "Die Hard" at night. He was exhausted and they were cutting him a break.
The fourth film lacks the charm of the first three. It's just a tired effort to squeeze more money out of the franchise. The fifth was simply an embarrassment.
I never watched the fifth, and never will watch the fifth. It just looks unpleasant and dull. Nothing compells me and it doesn't look like anybody really liked it, so I'm just gonna go with my gut instinct here and stay the hell away.
It's exactly the way you characterize it.
I'd actually disagree about the 4th. I honestly think the 4th is as good as die hard 2, but in slightly different ways. I think 3 and 1 are the best though, no question.
Greg Camp : Check out my post on the Die Hard series, high praise to Georg Rockall-Schmidt!.
After the colour of the first three, 4 looks really bleak and depressing.
The biggest change is that they never , ever , ever found a villain as great as Alan Rickman!
your videos are amazing keep goin lol love the star trek refrence with obrien
I'm about 4 years late but I'm very glad you kept the lamp.

1. Die Hard 1
2. The Last Boy Scout
3. Everything else
AGENT BLACK I personally like the second movie in the same way I like the Police Academy movies, it's more camp-ish in it's overall tone.

In Poland the first movie was called The Glass Trap. They stuck with that title for every movie after that.
what about the other Die Hard 5 - White House Down?
White Olympus House has Fallen Down :)
I mean, McClane is an everyman, intentionally so I feel to contrast the beef cake soldiers that traditionally star in action films of the 80’s, but Bruce Willis does lend him a unique charisma.
