Die Hard is my favorite Christmas movie ever... Every year on Christmas eve I celebrated with Die Hard. Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber in his first movie deserves an Oscar. Awesome Movie...
What are your thoughts on The Polar Express (2004) & The Grinch (2000)?
@@joshmontemayor6098 They are a very good Christmas movie but for my opinion it's the movie for children. I love jingle all the way and home alone too, but Die Hard still have a very special place in my heart.
@@rinaldihamzah8420, what about Gremlins (1984)?
@@joshmontemayor6098 I need to revisiting Gremlins, I watch gremlins maybe when I was 8 years old on videotape VHS.
It's not Christmas until someone throws Hans off the Nakatomi tower.
According to the official lore of the British Army's 57th Regiment of Foot, the term "die hard" meaning someone who refuses to give up originated at the Battle of Albuera in 1811. The 57th was struggling to stop the French from breaking through their line, and its Colonel, William Inglis, was hit by grapeshot to the neck and chest. Though gravely wounded, Inglis refused to be evacuated from the battlefield, choosing instead to remain with his troops. In terrible pain and losing a great deal of blood, he stayed by the regimental colors and exhorted his men to hold their ground or die trying with the words "Die hard 57th! Die hard!" Despite suffering heavy losses, the 57th did hold until the French were finally driven back, and for their stubbornly courageous stand, their regiment became known as "The Die Hards." The French commander, Marshal Soult, would later complain "I penetrated their center. I turned their flank. They were beaten. The day was mine. But they did not know how to run away!" There is evidence that the term "die hard" actually existed before the Battle of Albuera, but the 57th definitely earned it as their nickname.
Reading is fundamental. Thank you for the information.
As an Englishmen anything that involves pissing on Frenchy makes me smile.
Cheers for that.
The French lost because they did not spearhead their assault with colorful insults, mostly involving hamsters and elderberries.
This movie completely redefined the action/adventure genre.
The movie that made Bruce Willis a legitimate action star, and it was his first action movie is what's crazy.
Natural charisma
Why is it crazy?
It is actually pretty logical.
Give a charismatic guy with a cool tough persona, a shot with a great script & great action director.
Presto.
Action success.
Box office success.
Action star created.
That is how Hollywood works.
Nothing crazy about it.
That's the formula.
Followed/mirrored the one set out by Schwarzenegger & Stallone once they each hit with their first action films Conan & Nighthawks (or First Blood if you don't consider Nighthawks straight out action & more crime thriller) Chuck NOrris (Breaker Breaker) Van Damme (Bloodsport) Seagal (Above the Law)
This was Alan Rickman's first movie too
And he still had hair! :)
@@USCFlash The only thing is the person you just described was not the profile that Willis fit at the time. I was a huge fan of his at the time, and he was known for comedy, not action. The 80s action hero formula was someone definitely bigger and more buff than a regular guy like Willis. He was charismatic, but never afraid. Always confident, always certain, and always cool. Willis destroyed all that by being a regular guy who was scared, made mistakes, and just did what he had to do. He was everything that our action heros at the time weren’t and that made him a legend. NOW, he’s created a new formula for being a hero and its great. 😀
44:45 - Fun fact. The actor Alan Rickman actually did the "fall stunt" against a "green screen". The director John McTiernan told him that he would fall on a count of THREE. He actually released him on a count of ONE!!!! The horrified look on Rickman's face was genuine surprise. He wasn't happy that he was tricked, but this famous fall scene is immortalized. Thanks for another great reaction.
Alan Rickman, his first film, deserved an Oscar for this role!
I said "deserved," didn't i?
Yes sir!
I didn’t know this was his first roll. It feels like he has been playing the bad guy for centuries
Because Rickman had done theater before this film :)
To be honest, as an actor, to have a LEAD role of antagonist in your first feature, well that is simply outstanding. His theater work must have been impressive.
They did an excellent job with the marital fight at the beginning. It felt very real, and in just about a minute we knew all we needed to know about their relationship.
This movie changed the way action movies were done from this point on.
This movie is based from novel. They did changed few thing to make John likable. In novel, he is old dude who will have pension in few days. He is divorced with holly causing him in depression, john fell along with Hans because Hans grab his Rolex which is gift from holly. There's no holly in that hotel
Producer thought that ending is very depressing so they make him more likeable, introduced holly in the hotel is the best decision they did for this movie. By making John has redemption arc, we all support John until the end. That's why this movie became the best Christmas movie of all time
“In the face, in the face, in the balls, in the balls!” LOL😂
There were more screams in this reaction than riding a roller coaster👍
Yes! This is a Christmas Movie!! The first rated R movie my Dad took me to. We were blown away. This was Alan Rickman’s first movie role. He had always been a theatrical actor. He passed several years ago, RIP! Hans Gruber is still known as one of the most vile characters in cinema history.
Ellie: "Girl power"
Michelle: "Girl power"
Me: "Pissed-off-wife-and-mother power"
lol
Never get between a mother bear and her babies
When he threatens to call immigration on her nanny - ugh prick!
When "Die Hard" first came out, one of the reviewers described Reginald VelJohnson's character, Al Powell, as "the teddy-bear- like cop" who befriends John McClane. I have always thought that was the perfect description for the immensely likable actor and his character.
Was in Ghostbusters (1984) also :):)
@@kylereese4822 He and William Atherton appeared in Ghostbusters (1984).
He was so beloved that he got his own sitcom which was very successful.
It’s most famous character is a geek named Steve Erkle.
Black bear
Fun fact: John didn't just see that Bill Clay worked on a floor that wasn't at the Christmas party. He saw Hans holding his cigarette between his thumb and forefinger, which is the way most Europeans hold them.
No. First, I'm european and a smoker, and we don't do that. Second, there was a scene that was cut where the terrorists syncronized their watches when they got out of the truck. When they'd do that, we'd see that all their watches were the same well known brand and model. When John killed the first guy, he took his belongings, and then he noticed Hans' watch was exactly the same. Because they cut the previous scene for time we didn't get that reference.
I always assumed it was also that Hans accepted and smoked the European cigarette without reacting to the difference.
I have read the same thing about the watch though, which is apparently the official intent behind the scene.
@@raelshark I think there are so many tip-offs that it's left up to interpretation, which, like any great book, is also the hallmark of a great movie, because it incorporates differing viewpoint angles for the benefit of the audience. This is the respect the movie pays itself, and the return, well....
He recognized his voice, even with the accent, that's why John says, " Pretty tricky with that accent...."
@@ThePresidentialTouch The watch thing is the official one. I heard it from Steven E. de Souza (one of the writers) in a podcast some time ago. It was either in "The Q&A with Jerry Goldsmith" (with the other writer, Jeb Stuart) or "Scriptnotes".
"Don't go alone! You are eventually going to be a daddy. Or you are -- have a lot of sweets to eat." Both are equally good reasons to stay alive! 👶🍫 😝🤣
"He's like die hard. He cannot die easily."
If you want an interesting social experiment, ask any American over the age of 35 to finish the phrase "Yippie Ki-Yay ..." American women will answer "Ki-Yo!". American men will answer "mother****er!"
The other cowboy references at the end were showing that as much as Hans thought he knew cowboys, he really didn't. John Wayne was the iconic American cowboy. However, one of the greatest cowboy movies was "High Noon", which ended with Gary Cooper riding off with Grace Kelley. Hans conflated the two.
44:13
@@jonalberts980 I was careful to say both "American" and "over 35". ;)
@@zooks527 I just enjoy hearing it said 🙂
@@jonalberts980 :)
It's not Christmas until A Die Hard movie is on! 🤘🎅😉
It's not christmas until Hans Gruber falls from the Nakatomi Plaza.
Don't forget The Polar Express (2004).
"Yeah, he, he, he -- he must survive. It's, like, Die Hard. He cannot Die Easily." 🤣🤣🤣
Everyone wonders why the police officer does not hear the gun fire, but it is happening 32 stories up, and in a building that likely has all sound proof rooms.
"Now I know what a T.V. dinner feels like."
T.V. Dinners used to be in aluminum trays with aluminum foil covers meant to be heated in a conventional oven. Not like these days with plastic trays and plastic film that are mostly heated in microwave ovens, though they can be heated in conventional ovens too.
I grew up in 90's, people here in south east Asia used to do that until Tupperware (famous plastic ware brand) selling like a hot cake in late 90's replacing aluminum foil.
Redundant statement: Die Hard is a classic. Great reaction Homies! You'll love Die Hard 2 as well.
Inside joke when the deputy chief of police said You could be talking to a bartender for all you know. Bruce Willis was a bartender before an actor.
5:54 That's Severus Snape, in his first movie role.
Fantastic reaction to an action classic!
“In the BALLS! In the BALLS! In the BALLS!”
Best commentary ever.
Its like a busta rhymes rap " In the face in the face in the balls" xD
Your intense reactions at every junction, perfectly mirror my own when I watched this masterpiece in a theater back in 1989.
Die Hard remains the best action film ever made; it singlehandedly transformed what was perceived as a B tier genre (action films) into A tier filmmaking.
Except that Hollywood still gives the Action stuff little attention. The best you get from them is an Academy Award for Effects or maybe Cinematography or Music ... never Best Picture or even Best Actor/Actress! Action movies that were on a par with _"Die Hard"_ have been short-changed for Awards!
I think _"Master & Commander"_ did well, but only because they could label it as 'Historical Drama'! Same with _"Gladiator"_ ... that was an Action movie, no question! It just happened to be set 2000 years ago!
hahaha "IN THE FACE!! IN THE FACE!! IN THE BALLS!! IN THE BALLS!!" + the facial expressions from Ellie lol. Adorable!
Really glad you watched this one! A true 1980s Classic!
This movie is the template for so, so many other movies that followed, and it made bona-fide super stars out of a few of the actors
My favorite Christmas movie. Glad you girls are reacting to this
What are your thoughts on The Polar Express?
Fun Fact: The Polar Express is so popular that it gets re-released in theaters every year since it 1st came out, mostly in IMAX 3D.
I met Adam Rickman in 1992 on Robin Hood, Prince of thieves and we remain friends until his death and I used to meet him every couple of months in London in Notting Hill for breakfast or lunch, and I have many happy memories chatting to him. May he rest in peace
For a reminder, the current value of $640,000,000 in today's dollars adjusted is $1,747,625,024.06 so 1.75 billion dollars.
Die hard with a Vengence is also great..
No cops were so funny, so cool, so sassy, so manly like McClane.
Willis inherited the toughness of Bogart and Marvin and the sense of humor of his Moonlighting's David Addison and made History in this mind-blowing action classic, maybe the summit of 80s action flicks
Wow, you both finally got to Die Hard! Great film, great reaction!
Ellie humming Beethoven's Ode to joy is priceless🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏
7:12 Manzanar It was a U.S. concentration camp for Japanese Americans during World War II.
This movie had me on the edge of my seat when I first watched it. Amazing. U should watch part 2 as well 👍
44:48 This is probably my favorite part of the movie, because during the making, they told Alan Rickman that they were going to drop him on the count of 3. Instead, they dropped him at the count of 1. That look on his face was genuine surprise and fear, not acting lol. OMFG get on V for Vendetta. Michelle get on it. Do it do it do it.
My brother works at a Japanese owned warehouse. Started at $11 an hour 5 years ago March 29th. Just got moved to assistant manager at $91K a year. He's 47 and said the way they treat their employees is amazing compared to anywhere he's ever worked, and is mad it took him so long to find out. Last year the owner saw him pull up in his POS old Ford Focus. He left work to find a brand new Toyota sitting in it's spot. Owner just texted him *"You've never been late in 4 years. I was worried you would be in that Ford. I also was scared it blow up on my nice car soon.* 🤣🤣🤣"
My daughter was crying/laughing for 10 minutes straight when he showed us.
That's interesting because in Japan it's the complete oposite.
No, it's not Doctor Strange, it's Severus Snape, the great Alan Rickman in his first film role.
When it comes to Christmas movies, The Polar Express (2004) is an absolute must-watch.
19:23 -- The party was on the 30th floor. That far from the lobby, no one would hear anything.
Fun fact: @44:45 No one told Alan Rickman (Hans Gruber) WHEN they were gonna drop him. The look on his face is genuine shock.
Michelle looks amazing with her hair like that.
Don't you think she looks a bit like Rene Russo from the movie Major League
@@gaittr oh damn! Yeah she does. Good call
I love how when Bruce Willis was getting dragged out of the building by that fire thingimagigee weight you guys where literally hanging on to you chairs head rest😨!Just PRICELESS!
What makes it really scary is that McClane is afraid of heights...
The all time classic action film!!! Great reaction!!!
This is THE best Christmas movie ever made, followed closely by Gremlins and Lethal Weapon. The director of this, John Mctiernan, previously directed Predator and followed this up with Hunt for Red October and Last Action Hero. This was followed up by four direct sequels
Don't forget The Polar Express, The Grinch (2000), & the 1st 2 Home Alone movies. Those are good Christmas movies.
Rickman was one of the best bad guys ever
About time you girls watched this movie. Die Hard 2 and Die Hard With A Vengeance next please. Striking Distance is another fun Bruce Willis action flick. Fun reaction
Vengeance is my favourite in the series. The Willis/Jackson/Irons combo is incredible. As for other films, I vote for _The Last Boy Scout_ . That movie is hilarious.
@@PurushaDesa I agree, and all those movies, Bruce plays the drunk cop with the funniest lines
The GREATEST ACTION MOVIE EVER!! SO glad that you ladies watched it and especially thank you for sharing it!!
Prayers to Bruce Willis, who announced he’s retiring from acting, due to health reasons. 😔🙏🏼
Two of My Favorite Girls and Awesome Movie and Work, Thanks 👍👍😀 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
This is THE BEST Christmas movie ever
It is not Christmas until Hans Gruber falls from the Nakatomi Tower
Ellie and Michelle, I loved watching you crawl up the backs of your chairs when John was being pulled through the window by the fire hose. I'm glad you liked this. Definitely one of my favorite Christmas movies.
Ellie and Michelle make this the only reaction channel where you never look at the movie in the box in the corner.
Best Christmas movie ever! It's not Christmas until I see Hans drop from the tower.
Michelle, nice hair!
Fun facts: in the office scene where the terrorist says "next time don't hesitate," Willis forgot to replace his ear protection before the next take. He suffered hearing loss in one ear.
Another: the stunt man easing down the ventilation shaft really did fall, and barely catch himself. They liked it so much they included the shot in the movie.
#2 is weak; I recommend avoiding it. #'s 3 & 4 are terrific, and #5 is abysmal.
Have you reacted to Lethal Weapon yet? Another great 80s action movie.
You guys are so cool at reaction/reviews. This is a really fun movie, the second one is kinda ok, the third one is fun as is the fourth one. You guys are so expressive and beautiful it makes seeing these movies so much fun.
@8:40 - One of the biggest misconceptions people have about this movie is that the villains are terrorists. But, as Hans mentions here, & is mentioned again towards the end by both him & Holly, they are not terrorists, but thieves. Yet still, to this day, some people still call them terrorists. There are terrorists in future movies of this franchise...but, not in this one.
It's not Christmas until Hans Gruber falls off a building. 🤣
The only real debate about Die Hard is whether it's a Christmas movie. What do you girls think?
Jim Croce's response: ruclips.net/video/wYHleFFhlFk/видео.html
Ellie..."In the face...in the face..In the face, In the balls, in the balls!"...Made me laugh out loud!..Lol!
Thee BEST Christmas Movie EVER. It Launched The Career of Bruce Willis, Has The Late Alan Rickman Giving Us a Splendid Performance as Hans Gruber (His FIRST Film Role Can You Believe That?) This film Gave us the Audience Characters WE Could Cheer For It Relaunched The Whole Action Film Franchise This Should have Won Oscars For Not Only Best Leading Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Bur Best Director & It Failed (DIE HARD Is Now Regarded as a CLASSIC ACTION, THRILLER & IT IS!!).
“Die Hard with A Vengeance” is a classic too!!
It just isn't Christmas unless die hard is playing on the TV 🤣🤣🎄🎄👌👌💯💯.
This was always one of my favorite Christmas movies!
When they dropped Hans Gruber, they lied to the actor on WHEN they'd do it. Mighta been a legitimate pants-pooping going on there.
The greatest Christmas story ever told.
🤣🤣🤣 @ 37:33 "In the face! In the face! In the face! In the balls!!! In the balls!!!"...... nobody better mess with Ellie.
No, he is not Doctor Strange.🤣🤣🤣 He is (or rather was, may he rest in peace) Alan Rickman, a great, incredible English film and stage actor, known for having played, apart from Hans Gruber, the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood, the angel Metatron in Dogma , or the magnificent Severus Snape in the Harry Potter movies. An actor who has not played a single bad role in his entire life. If there is any ranking of the best villains in film history, Hans Gruber should be in that ranking.
You can tell it's going to he another of the half-watched reactions when Ellie says, "She moved to Japan" when earlier its made clear they're in CALIFORNIA!
the perfect christmas movie, every year on christmas i watch him
Not only my favorite action Christmas movie but also my favorite Bruce Willis movie...Love your hair Michelle by the way...Hope you keep that style for a while
Next up: The Hunt for Red October and Predator (original). All by the same director as Die Hard.
I like that part of the end of the movie when a Los Angeles police officer shoot the bad guy!!!👍🏼
It’s fascinating watching the RUclips version because it tells you what the reactors consider primary importance versus secondary importance that didn’t make the cut. This script is so beautifully crafted and yet they didn’t quite engage with some of its key setups and payoffs.
Bruce Willis is retiring. He has been diagnosed with aphasia, a condition that robs you of the ability to communicate. It can affect your ability to speak, write and understand language, both verbal and written.
6:24 there was no (rayping) going on there…a couple minutes earlier, the couple burst into that room looking for somewhere private to get it on…
…what you saw here and made the incorrect conclusion was the villains simply interrupted sexy times between the two consenting adults, and were trying to get them out into the main room ASAP with the rest of the hostages…
Loved your reaction to one of my favorite movie of all time, Die Hard is a classic throught time
My favorite Christmas movie. Love the reactions
Another excellent reaction video Ellie and Michelle i`m very addicted to your videos!
It's crazy how much the girl with the purple dye in her hair looks like Rene Russo in Lethal Weapon III and Major League.
10:25 It was funny and kind of curious when Michelle stopped herself when she started to say "Just blow his head off!....".
Makes me wonder if she's been in a situation where she's said that in real life.
You are a mysterious group of ladies.
I've recommended this movie before, but if you liked this movie, you guys have to watch the negotiator, starring Samuel L Jackson and Kevin Spacey. Very similar style of movie.
Great reaction, ladies. You are both so expressive.
"Hit 'em in the head! Hit 'em in the balls!" You ladies terrify me. :-D
Great Reaction. Yes! I look forward to V for Vendetta!!! Also please react to "Enemy of the State " with Will Smith and Gene Hackman thanks!
Loved your reactions to this fantastic " Christmas Movie! " :)
This is still a classic, and I can watch it over and over.You both are looking amazing today and Michelle I love the purple highlights, and I've been wanting to visit your Only fans for awhile now lol, but I haven't made it yet, but I'm so curious 😊.Right now I don't have any subscription's there, because I kinda let them drop just to get away from it, but checking yours out is so tempting.☺️
"Give Me... The Detonators... Mr. Potter..."
If you two want to watch another great classic from the 80s then you need to watch John Carpenter's "The Thing" (1982). It's a must see masterpiece.
I love your reactions! Keep up the great work 😃
I really enjoyed your reactions. Non-stop action and peril in this movie. Thank you.
Check out Robin Hood with Kevin Costner and Alan Rickman.. Great Movie:)
Always found it odd that they knew so much about Takagi, but didn't know what he looked like?
He's Professor Snape 😀
16:06..It's Die Hard...He cannot die easy.Ellie,you are a diamond,what a funny thing to say and you didn't even realise what you were saying.You both are sweethearts,so adorable along with the other two Ladies Vicki and Lia.
I could watch this movie millions of times!!!
Holly moved to L.A. & took the kids, while John remained a career NYC cop.
Jon and Al are the only decent cops in this whole movie. Great Christmas movie btw!
Please consider watching The Burbs ;) Tom hanks is pretty awesome in that movie, and its a total unknown movie that deserve more for sure
Fun reaction as always, but I was distracted by Michelle's beautiful Farrah Faucett hair 😍 Perfect for framing your face 😀 👍
dam U are spot on, I love ELLE's look but MICHELLE has worked that hair very nicely
