    This is my favorite of the Die Hard series. I worked at an airport for 10 years, and always took the Christmas shift so my employees could have the night off. We would hang out in the empty concourse with the police and watch this movie and have a unofficial party. Kinda fun hanging out in an airport and watching another airport have a really bad day on tv lol!

      I was the ARFF lieutenant at the airport fire station. Our shift Captain had to go through the security gate at the perimeter in order to check on us, nobody could ever surprise us. I slept once from 10am all the way to 3pm and nobody off the airport ever knew. I loved working out there. We got to know the airport police and the tower guys really well.

    The Nakatomi building is actually Fox studios' (former) headquarters building in LA - it was brand new and actually still under construction, which is why they could use it for filming, and why some of the floors were incomplete. And, yes, even in the movie, it was LA. The whole point is that Bruce was playing a NYC cop whose wife moved to LA for her career, and he came out to LA for the first time to spend Christmas with her.

    Fun Fact: In the first "Die Hard" (1988), John McClane (Bruce Willis) only had a few scripted one-liners. However, Bruce Willis ad-libbed many one-liners and audiences liked them so much, so that in this sequel (and the next one), more gags were added and Bruce Willis was told he could ad-lib as much as he saw fit.
    Also, the scenes with Bruce Willis running through tunnels under the airport were filmed at a water treatment facility near Los Angeles. The facility has miles of underground tunnels and was also used in "Live Free or Die Hard" (2007), doubling as the Woodlawn Social Security Administration building.

      I know I saw that interview and he seems to be a really awesome guy. So does John Amos (Major Grant). Another reason why I love Die Hard 2 is because of that twist! I remember the first time I saw this film I was in my teens I was like "Holy sh!t! They're all bad guys too!?!" Now after seeing that twist it's helped me deduce similar twists in other films, no matter what genre, before the reveal occurs.
      For example Scream 3. Many people mention that the reveal of the killer's identity comes completely out of left field. When I saw Scream 3 I was in college studying Performing Arts and when I saw that first scene with Roman Bridger, I thought "You're the director of Stab 3. Your cast are dying and your irate because your movie has been shut down? You're the killer because you're 'directing your own horror movie'." Turned out I was correct about the identity but not the motive as such.

      I thought part 3 is weird and totally different. It abandons almost everything about Die Hard (christmas, night time setting, confined space like airport or Nakatomi). It seemed like Die Hard 3 put together all the ideas for a Die Hard movie they had (locations) and then shuffled the bag... it's all over the place. Samuel L. Jackson is good in it though, and Bruce Willis as usual. But the setting doesn't have the same kind of atmosphere. A cruise ship would have been better (a confined space). They were already working on a script where Lucy McClane and John are on holiday on a cruise ship, and terrorists seize it. But they abandoned the script because Under Siege got ahead of them and did a ship (which was straight Die Hard ripoff). I wonder how Die Hard 3 would have been, if Under Siege didn't steal their idea

      @@fergalhughes165 Yes DH2 has a lot of "fan service" in it, elevator, air ducts, familiar elements. But I think it still stands on it's own, it has many elements that first one didn't, like the Major Grant plot twist. And that McClane isn't alone. I also think if 3rd movie was also set in Christmas, it would have been corny. It's not called "Christmas Cop" after all. So it's wise that they made it a summer setting instead. But not really sure if "city" can be considered confined space. I always thought (before DH3 released) that it will be set on a ship, metro, a sports stadium or place like that. Something that you can seal off. I think the script writers thought of those too, since all those locations are in DH3, just briefly. They lumped together all locations they had. I like DH3 but it's very different tone. McClane being in hangover and disrespected by his colleagues (initially) etc.

    Interestingly, respected critics Gene Siskel & Roger Ebert considered this to be the best in the franchise. The latter somehow didn't like the original, while the former ranked this sequel as the 6th best film of 1990 above the likes of Dances with Wolves and Godfather 3. Screen Junkies even did a couple of "Honest Action" videos for the series, and it was determined that McClane's chances of survival was actually at its most plausible in this film. It also has one of the greatest finales ever. Throughout the movie, the villains are always ahead of the protagonist. Even though McClane makes progress w/ each action scene, all of them (prior to the climax) ends w/ a trade-off of him losing: no one was left to interrogate after the baggage fight, the antenna array explodes and a plane is crashed after the skywalk shootout, Esperanza escapes after landing, and McClane ends up w/ blank ammunition in the snowmobile chase. All leading up to the plane fight where John loses against Stuart, and it seems that all hope is lost for Holly's plane. This is what Chris Stuckmann likes to call the "Breaking Point" moment, where the hero is at his lowest point in an action sequence and has to come up w/ a way to get out of that predicament. McClane does so after uttering his famous catchphrase and lighting the fuel trail left by the plane. With a single stroke, he finally defeats the bad guys and saves all of the hostages.

    You should definitely watch Die Hard: With A Vengeance. It’s rare that a sequel is as good as the original, but a second sequel that’s as good is almost unheard of… DH:WAV achieves that. Willis is great as John McClane, but the supporting cast of Samuel L. Jackson and Jeremy Irons are fantastic too.
    Die Hard 4.0 starts to get a bit tired, and Die Hard 5 is so far removed from its counterparts that if not for the title and Willis as McClane, you would think it was a different movie on its own.

    Die Hard took place in Los Angeles. The building used was the 20th Century Fox Building who made this movie. It's actually located in Century City. I made a delivery to that building soon after that movie came out and it really does look like that in the lobby and elevators.

    You have no idea how thrilling it is to see that your latest episode includes my dearest long-distance crush Carly!
    Gonna have to catch the whole show as soon as I get off work! :)
    Best to you ladies!

    I absolutely LOVE that Christmas sweater! I can't hardly wait for next year when you watch Die Hard With a Vengeance.

    You all should definitely watch the third one soon. Probably the best of the sequels.
