My mom called me (I was 26, almost 27 at the time), to let me know Alan Rickman had passed. I, unintentionally, and unbearably started crying/sobbing( I do film work/go to cons/etc. and he was one I couldn't wait to meet/ tell how much their work meant to me). I can't begin to put into words how much he and his work means to me (Die Hard, Harry Potter, Sweeney Todd, Galaxy Quest, Perfume Story of a Murderer), but I can say thank you, Blind Wave for reacting to this film. (Also, omg this film, in general....Bruce Willis, the story line...all of it...epic.) Just like you Blind Wave crew...epic. :)
I LEGIT JUST WATCHED THIS TWO DAYS AGO AND SAID “Man I’d love to see them watch Die Hard”
DevW10 Slxxr same 🧐
My EXACT THOUGHTS
A lil salty this post could have been useful then
IT'S AIN'T CHRISTMAS UNTIL HANS GRUBER FALLS FROM TAGATOMI TOWER
Bruce was actually filming this AND moonlighting - he'd do full days on set filming for the tv show for like 10 hour days then at night he'd be on the film set filming die hard.
If you check out how much money was thrown at him as a no-name movie actor for this film, you'd be able to do that too. Mind you, there is a lot of downtime on a movie set to nap.
Now that I think about it, Ellis did end up accidentally exposing Holly in the long run. Telling Hans John's name led to Thornburg hearing it over the CB, and Thornburg used that info to get that interview with the kids, which led to Hans working out who Holly actually was.
you guys should definitely watch something by Quentin Tarantino. Like Once Upon A Time In Hollywood or Inglorious Bastards. Something from him
Just fyi, Steven E. de Souza, the screenwriter of Die Hard, says it is a Christmas movie. So everything else is overruled.
Yep, at the start of the commentary track. There's also a storybook called 'A Die Hard Christmas' that tells the story of the film in the style of 'The Night Before Christmas'.
I saw a joke on twitter the other day that Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie. It's Bruce Willis in a tower hiding from Alan Rickman. That makes it a Harry Potter movie.
YES!!!!!
"And the quarterback is toast."
So nice to see classic movie appreciated....
21:35 "Temporarily stairs".
Nice reference.
R.I.P. Mitch Hedberg.
Alan Rickman played a very sweet man in a movie called Sense and Sensibility (with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet). Definitely opposite of this film role. :D
What I love about this film is how vulnerable a character John is. Instead of the usual shoot-em-up action hero like Schwarzenegger or Stallone, where the hero often seems un-phased by everything, John is distraught by (feels responsible for) the death of Holly's boss, he's freaked out and scared throughout the film, has to come up with plans on the fly under extraordinary circumstances, and if he gets injured, we see that it hurts. He's not impervious to what he's going through. It makes us emotionally invested in him as a character and hope that he survives (and sometimes we wonder how on earth he'll stop all of them, especially because Alan's character is so intelligent and formidable as a villain). It's such a good movie, and definitely was an unusual take on the action hero back then. For the better!
Awesome movie, Bruce Willis in my mind played the 1st action hero of my generation that actually got fucked up royally- made sarcastic jokes scene after scene and RAN out of BULLETS. No other character like John McClane.
No mention of the price of gas?
This movie is a goddamn classic ..so good !!
Great hero and villain ..memorable lines, action and humor ..what more could you want ?.
I actually watched Die Hard 2 the other night ..it’s ok but definitely not as good as this one
My Die Hard ranking
1. Die Hard
2. Die Hard with a Vengeance
3. Die Hard 2
4. Live Free and Die Hard
5. A Good Day to Die Hard
That is indeed the definitive ranking
I deadass watched this 2 days ago on Popcorn Time 🤣
You may want to check out the Netflix episode of "Movies that Made Us" about Die Hard. You don't need to react, but it's good information.
Can't deny this is the best Christmas movie and I'm with Aaron 3 is also my favourite
Also just realised Rick is wearing a screw attack Iron Man of Gaming shirt
My favorite Action film of all time! followed by Predator and Raid 2.
It's been a long time since I've watched this movie! I forgot just how much I love the Al and John banter over the radio.
1. The Last Boy Scout rocks, SO much better than the Lethal Weapon series. 2. Fun fact, Roderick Thorp got the idea from watching The Towering Inferno then dreaming he was being chased by gunmen across the roof of a skyscraper. 3. Prior to 9/11 Americans seemed to have a hard time accepting terrorists just weren't in it for the money. 4. James Shigeta (Takagi ) was in Tora, Tora, Tora. 5. In the book McClane/Leland was a terrorist expert and former WW2 fighter pilot (so I assume had no fear of flying?). 6. The police call centre girl who doesn't believe McClane actually turns up as a stewardess in Die Hard 2. 7. Powell is a Sergeant, hence why he's single manned, he doesn't take calls himself but supervises. 8. Mary Ellen Trainor (the female news anchor) is in no end of great movies, including Executive Decision aka Die Hard on a Plane but not Star Trek 2, that's Bibi Besch. 9. Grand L Bush was born in 1955 so would have turned 18 in 1973 and missed Vietnam, Robert Davi was born in 1951 so their characters fit. 10. Presumably one of the gang took the lorry out and brought in the ambulance before the police arrived. 11. If you listen carefully you can hear the deputy chief instructing the SWAT team to check for more terrorists inside the building after Powell shoots Karl. 12. The girl in the window McClane sees is probably some executives girlfriend whom he promised a part in the film.
It says alot that I can constantly watch a 2 hr commentary of them talking (duh that's a commentary) without the accompanying movie. It helps when I know these movies over x2. But still. I'm in a bar passing time listening to the 5 of them talk playing the actual movie in my head content af! Love y'all Blind Wave❤
She is not James T Kirk’s sons mother. She plays a therapist in Lethal Weapon though.
I feel bad for people who can’t watch patreon right now
"We got shit done in the 80s." 😉 You DAMN RIGHT we did. 🤣
Don't know if you mentioned it, but the actress who plays John's wife is Macaulay Culkin's aunt. She is his dad's sister. And Reginald VelJohnson also played a cop in the first Ghostbusters.
I just saw this a few weeks ago in the theater and it sounded amazing!
not a man i loved more than Alan Rickman, one of the greatest. A psychological film he did with Madeline Stowe called Closet Land is a personal favourite of mine. It's weird, spine-chilling and entrancing.
I have the 2001 (2013 Re-Issued) DVD of Die Hard (1988).
I love how blind wave reacts to many shows anime’s and movie it’s so cool if I recommend anime it would be Tokyo ghoul sooo goood first season is like 12 eps also one of the best anime intro
Alan Rickman was a great villain.
Literally just watched this last night.
I was 4 years old when Die Hard came out in 1988.
I thought the same Rick about a Christmas Eve party but I did have a job that had there’s on Christmas Eve in the afternoon. It snowed and took me Over 3 hours to get home where I missed my family’s party.
Yayyyyyy you guys rock.
When someone says it has an actor in, Calvin always replies "yes". when he's wrong. XD It's Kevin Spacey not John Cusack.
sinister music?? sinister music you say?? Ode to Joy ffs :D
Hans fall they were suppose to give him a countdown but they dropped him early so the shock is real reflex
Negotiator stars- Sam L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey

1:20:30
2:09:48
I'm watching DH 2 rn lmao
Peralta would be proud
Could I recommend that you mention some of the names that pop up on screen as soon as they do? Just additional sync-points, so we know we're going as fast as you are, and are at the correct place.
Are you telling me Calvin’s never watched Midway? It’s one of the best War Movies. Know your own history man!
Why isn't this a reaction?
Because all of them have seen it
@@tbcalex AND? You think I want to listen to them not knowing where the fuck they are in the movie, and before you suggest I am unable to pull up the movie and them to play at the same time!
@@prometheus8010 they don’t have to worry about copyright and you can tell where they are by the clock on the bottom!
The actor playing the terrorist James is Wilhelm von Homburg, who also played Vigo the Carpathian in Ghostbusters 2.
They said that in the commentary.
WHY IS HARRY POTTER NOT WINNING
What are you people doing? Next is the Half-blood prince, one of the best ones. We need to finish the series.
Ramzes D; don’t worry we will finish it WE MUST
@Fir It has been weeks though
Im rly hoping they finish it!
Yes. The "wife-beater" shirt went thru different stages of darkness & deterioration, but I think they went too far with the black one. lol
If Shane makes any relevance, scratch your hat(or pull your t-shirt Eric!!!). P.S. I dislike Shane slightly for being to direct, and hurtful, but I dislike Eric and his follower Calvin for following Eric, try to be a guide but a follower also! YEA, Calvin you know this! Go your own way! Aaron your fine off the hook :)
Ric your awesome, sorry, the best get forgotten too often.
Hard to react to a film when you aren't watching it most of the time. You guys spend the first 10 minutes (as far as I watched) just talking about tangentially related stuff, or explaining stuff in the film that would be apparent if you guys just stopped talking.
You know this isnt a Reaction, right?
Yeah just sit in silence...ha ha...you funny
