6:18 That guy was a reporter in the first movie. While everything was going on, he found out where Holly lived and went to interview their (her and John's) kids. He also threatened to report their housekeeper (who was an illegal immigrant) if he couldn't speak to them. Hans Gruber saw the kids on TV and that's how he found out that John and Holly were married after seeing the family picture on Holly's desk, and was able to user as leverage against John. At the end of the movie, Holly punched the reporter in the face.
@@grendeltech Given the situation that arrogant, dumb reporter put Holly through, he got off easy with only that punch and be grateful that all he got.
It's funny how they made up a country, Val Verde, which was used and referenced in several movies as some undefined south or possibly central American country, much like the phony area code "555" for telephone numbers..! 😅
Taking fingerprints the way he did and putting it through a fax machine, Powel would get black smudges on the other end. Also, 80’s airport security was way different from TSA. I snuck a knife in my carry on one time because I forgot we weren’t checking luggage.
I like how they describe the glock pistol as a porcelain gun when it’s a polymer gun but only the frame is polymer and it would still come up on their old ex ray scans 🤣🤣🤣
Not quite. The Glock 7 is a fictional detecionr-evading gun. The film isn't saying that Glocks in general are porcelain. If Glock were to have made it presumably the polymer parts would still be polymer but with some or all of the metal parts replaced with ceramic. Even if some metal was still used the much lower profile could be useful in evading detection by 80s/90s tech. X-ray detection depends a lot on the operator and also wouldn't be an issue if it was carried on the person since at the time only luggage was x-rayed.
@ Glock 7 in Die Hard 2 The Glock 7 is a fictional 9mm pistol mentioned in the 1990 action film Die Hard 2. According to the movie, the Glock 7 is a “porcelain gun” made in Germany, which is supposed to be undetectable by airport X-ray machines and costs more than what John McClane (played by Bruce Willis) makes in a month. Reality Check In reality, there is no such Glock model as the “Glock 7”. The Glock 17, the first Glock model, was designed and produced by Glock Ges.m.b.H. in Austria, not Germany. It’s made primarily of polymer plastics and steel, not porcelain, and is detectable by metal detectors. The inaccuracies about the Glock 7 in Die Hard 2 have become an inside joke among fans of the film, and the scene has contributed to a rise in popularity and sales for the Glock brand. Despite this, it’s essential to note that the Glock 7 is purely fictional and not a real handgun.
Idk.. The first one was definitely A christmas movie. Alfans The driver put in christmas music on the way to the nokatomy building. Sorry for the spelling. I will classify die hard one as christmas however.... I personally have a hard time classifying die hard 2 as a christmas movie. It takes place on Christmas Day, but it just seems to lack the spirit. My opinion, though not factual in the slightest.
Hello Nia!😊 The Airfone system (wireless) was actually pretty popular on commercial airplanes before cell phones became common with people. Probably the next film "Die Hard with a Vengeance" (1995) is my favorite in the franchise!🏆 It is really an excellent film. Great reactions to your second Die Hard film with some clever twists, Nia!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
FYI: "Black Bag" is a slang term used to refer to covert activities by intelligence agencies such as the C.I.A. or the K.G.B. Basically, it refers to "Spy Stuff."
Always liked Bruce Willis and Die Hard were my favorite growing up 😊 glad you're enjoying them as well. It's funny seeing all the old technology now 😮 😆
If you'd enjoyed the sequel you will love the third movie as it was released five years later (1995). It is arguably the best Die Hard out of all Die Hard movies.
this is the last Christmas themed Die Hard movie the 3rd movie is possibly the best of the series its debatable wether its the first or 3rd movie is the best they're both so amazingly good
hi. No Christ? No Christmas. Kinda of the biggest thing. Die Hard was filmed at 20th Century Fox Studios during November and December; and the Productions Assistants were too busy/lazy to remove the Christmas decoration already IN the building, so they left them up. That's why they are there. Neither the script or novel the movie had any Christmas. Re-writes were made to make a thinly tangential references to Christmas.
How 'bout u give $20 bucks for it? How 'bout i let you live? ...man knows how to bargain 😂😂😂😝😝😝 Yep, ive seen probably 10 reactions to this movie and you were the BEST!!! AWESOME...🤗😊🔥🔥🔥
William Sadler isn't quite as charismatic as Alan Rickman, but I think he's still a good villain in this, and fun character in Tales From the Crypt: Demon Knight.
@NiaMakiReacts tbh your conspiracy theories aren't too wild, Carmine brought suspicion but he turned out to just be a good guy but just an idiot 😆 It's worth it to see how pleased you are with yourself when you guess right. I feel after seeing more and more movies your interpretations are becoming second nature. Well done for recognising Robert Patrick as the T1000 in Terminator 2!
For another Die Hard-ish action movie, check out Under Siege (1992) with Steven Seagal in the lead, back when he wasn't a complete joke. xD Also with Gary Busey and Tommy Lee Jones.
This is, without a doubt, one of the greatest sequels ever made. Feel free to watch the remaining three movies of the franchise if you like, but be prepared that from here on, nothing even gets close to the quality of the first two movies. Right now I’m consciously avoiding reading the comments, because I know that there will be heaps of cretinous assertions that the third movie is one of the best, if not THE best, in the series. It’s not. Where the first two movies are clever in addition to all the action, the rest are all just big, dumb, generic action romps - and worse still, John McClane doesn’t even remotely resemble the character from the first two movies. But by all means, watch the third movie - you couldn’t possibly loathe it as much as I have done since first watching it in 1995 and feeling this enormous tidal wave of hatred swelling up inside me for its trampling and crapping all over the proud heritage of Die hard 1 & 2.
I love dennis franz but he is, hands down, thee worst thing in this entire movie. He does nothing to further the plot. If you take him out of the movie nothing would change. He is awful, awful, awful, awful, AWFUL in this...
"In a church??? Santa's watching!" It's even funnier that you weren't trying to be satirical. As usual, this is just really good.
No Christmas presents this year for that guy!
😅 after I realized I fixed it though!!!
I love this movie, your reaction is amazing!
I had so much fun with this one! And thank you!
RIP to John Amos

When she punched him, it was caught on camera. That is why he said she humiliated me
She shouldn't have done it, but at the same time, she totally needed to do it.
@@grendeltech Given the situation that arrogant, dumb reporter put Holly through, he got off easy with only that punch and be grateful that all he got.
The TSA didn't exist until after 9/11. Airport security was less dynamic and less strict.
I'm old enough to remember walking straight out to the airplane, people smoking on the plane, free full cans of soda/beer for passengers.
When the guy says, "Annex Skywalk" I think of Darth Vader.
And like Anakin, the SWAT team didn't stand a chance as Stuart's men had the *high ground*
It's funny how they made up a country, Val Verde, which was used and referenced in several movies as some undefined south or possibly central American country, much like the phony area code "555" for telephone numbers..! 😅
😂 wait it’s referenced in other movies too??? Hahahaha
@@NiaMakiReacts Yeah, it's the country the main bad guy is from in "Commando" with Arnold Schwarzenegger. xD And I'm sure there are others, hehe.
Ha! There's a Val Verde in California and also a Valle Verde. It means Green Valley, which would be a dumb name for a country, if you think about it.
Taking fingerprints the way he did and putting it through a fax machine, Powel would get black smudges on the other end. Also, 80’s airport security was way different from TSA. I snuck a knife in my carry on one time because I forgot we weren’t checking luggage.
😂 right? I was like through a fax??? Also, you’re right I forget that 911 is what really ramped up security
I like how they describe the glock pistol as a porcelain gun when it’s a polymer gun but only the frame is polymer and it would still come up on their old ex ray scans 🤣🤣🤣
Well aside from that and the 37 second grenades and about 20 other things it was spot on perfectly realistic
😂 😂 oh oop!!!
also, luckily metal detectors don't detect METALS like brass, copper or lead....

3 is not a Christmas movie, so watch it next summer if you can. Preferably before July (so you can watch 4 for July 4 😉)
Idk.. The first one was definitely A christmas movie. Alfans The driver put in christmas music on the way to the nokatomy building. Sorry for the spelling. I will classify die hard one as christmas however....
I personally have a hard time classifying die hard 2 as a christmas movie. It takes place on Christmas Day, but it just seems to lack the spirit. My opinion, though not factual in the slightest.
@@joshuasharrock466 What is more in the Christmas spirit than picking up family at the airport?
My favorite of the series.
Good looking out!!! I’ll put in the the calendar for July!
or, hot take, don't watch 4 at all because it's trash..
Hair lookin cute,& shirt on point smooth-like.
Also, didn't expect that 747 to actually crash with the people in it,like what!?
Yeah man, for a Christmas movie?! Damn 😭 rip
@NiaMakiReacts for had Me feelin 😵💫🤯😱
From what I read online, the studio executive was against the idea of crashing a passenger liner with people with in.
@Renegade2786 mm
Lesson learned.....dont let Nia mistrust you!!!!!! ❤
Fun one, Nia, LOL! Thanks for sharing it. 🙂
Wondering if the other Die Hard movies are worth watching, 3rd absolutely is. New York is the place and a hungover John McCain is the man.
Samuel L Jackson makes the movie, though.
You're both right.
Jeremy Irons is great too.
I only watch this franchise as a trilogy
Hello Nia!😊 The Airfone system (wireless) was actually pretty popular on commercial airplanes before cell phones became common with people. Probably the next film "Die Hard with a Vengeance" (1995) is my favorite in the franchise!🏆 It is really an excellent film. Great reactions to your second Die Hard film with some clever twists, Nia!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Bad guys getting crushed on different kinds of conveyor belts was a much bigger thing in 80s movies. 🤔
Ouch 😩 I’d have an irrational fear if u saw more of this
FYI: "Black Bag" is a slang term used to refer to covert activities by intelligence agencies such as the C.I.A. or the K.G.B. Basically, it refers to "Spy Stuff."
Always liked Bruce Willis and Die Hard were my favorite growing up 😊 glad you're enjoying them as well. It's funny seeing all the old technology now 😮 😆
Epic reaction ❤❤😂😂
This one might be my favorite Die Hard.
1 & 2 are the best out of the whole franchise IMO. But 1 was the best for me
This one is Over The Top! You should watch that movie too.
08:32 Nia's eyes when she gets suspicious 😂😂
LOL!👀
😂😂😂@@NiaMakiReacts
The next movie in the series will be your fav.
This one always felt very Christmasy. You can watch 3 whenever but 4 is a fourth of July movie.
If you'd enjoyed the sequel you will love the third movie as it was released five years later (1995). It is arguably the best Die Hard out of all Die Hard movies.
Note that Cochrane got his head crushed at the beginning in a machine that, in the world of the movie, is designed to flatten luggage like a pancake.
This movie is awesome
1:03 - 1:06 Watch it John, it might explode.
this is the last Christmas themed Die Hard movie the 3rd movie is possibly the best of the series its debatable wether its the first or 3rd movie is the best they're both so amazingly good

@@NiaMakiReacts Thanks👍
Another Christmas movie! I WFH on Mondays, I know what to do today📺
Ayeeeeeeee!!!!! WFH is the best especially on Mondays!!! Gives u a soft start for the week
@ and let’s not forget Fridays are WFH too
Hopefully gremlins will be next?
@ I think Gremlins will be during the weekend, tomorrow is the national lampoon’s Christmas vacation
@ 😳🥹my favourite Christmas movie of all time I CANNOT WAIT
You're getting a sixth sense for predictions now 😆

yo sometimes when I get it right I get so hype now, but then when I miss I feel like a fool with my conspiracy theories

Let's go Legend
Ayeee!!! 🔥
For me, the third one is the best. Don't you dare skip it. Not a Christmas theme though... lol
For another Die Hard-ish action movie, check out Under Siege (1992) with Steven Seagal in the lead, back when he wasn't a complete joke. xD Also with Gary Busey and Tommy Lee Jones.
Oooooh! Will do!
12 Days of those Gorgeous curls....yes plz....CURLS FANS WE UP THIS CHRISTMAS! p.s. Die hard is a Christmas movie
😂 😂 should have had them getting progressively curlier
@@NiaMakiReacts what could've been..........but there's always tomorrow
I'm no expert but back then a lot of phones were on a landline, which is not digital
The next die hard movie I think is the best 1 the next 2 after that are okay
Oooh! Dope!!! I can’t wait for the next one
3 & 4 are both good as well. They are not Christmas though. Number 5 is ok but it does not really live up to Die Hard level.
You really need to react to trapped in paradise
Dye Haaaaaaaadduh
3 and 4 are definitely worth watching feel free to skip 5 lol
a Great sequel Love The Eject Seat scene Please check out Die Hard with a Vengeance it's the Best sequel of them all
for sure, if that's part 3 I've been told to watch it in July!
@@NiaMakiReacts When The Film is THAT Good Why Wait? just do what i do & watch it anytime😀😀

One thing would change, McClane would still have the parking ticket. 🎄🤣
He just reinforces the fact the deck is stacked against McClaine and he must overcome all the odds
I think his character is supposed to be like the lieutenant (or whatever rank he was) in the first movie.
