    The Stunt Coordinator told actor Alan Rickman, who played Hans Gruber, that for the final ending stunt scene they would drop him on the count of 3. 1,2,3 Drop…but, they actually dropped him after 1; so, the reaction seen in the film is a look of genuine SHOCK by the Late Great Alan Rickman.

      @film-maniac 5 месяцев назад +1

      It was re-released to theaters a little over a week ago. But streamers generally dont want to see movies in theaters...not even current ones. Probably because theyd have to pay attention and aren't allowed to gab all through a movie. Theyd be thrown out faster than Lauren Boebert at a stage show. They much prefer seeing big screen movies on the smallest screen possible. I doubt most of them even own a tv. Also, I read somewhere that a more genuine Xmas movie, Batman Returns got another re-release this month as well. (It had one last year too.)
      Imagine if people saw a movie for the first time properly on a big screen...THEN they could opine about it afterwards on their channels. The times we live in, i guess.

    Yippie kay yay is a phrase from the theme song of a classic 1950's cowboy show starring Roy Rogers. Rogers, his horse, Trigger, and his wife Dale Evans are iconic characters in the folklore of the American West as depicted in dozens of western TV shows in the 1950's and 60's.

    This was the movie that REINVENTED the action genre. Before this most of the full-blown "grown-up" action movies we'd seen coming out of Hollywood were these big dumb bullet/explosion-fests where an indestructible muscle-man solider type went around with a machine-gun blasting hundreds of bad guys with NO consequences at all (usually played by Arnold or Sly, or sometimes Dolph Lundgren or Van Damme). Then this came along and was SUCH a massive hit that the execs wised up that audiences wanted smarter, more sophisticated action cinema, with more relatable action heroes who fought the villains with brains more than brawn, and actually got BEATEN UP over the course of the story. So we started seeing more of the kind of movies that guys like John Woo had been making in Hong Kong for a few years already, with features like Speed taking this new style and crafting it into the new standard.

    Hearing you say to the police dispatcher "It's a Code 10, ho!" made me chuckle. I actually went to police academy, once upon a time. In Police Ten-Code, there are three levels of urgency to respond to a call for service. Code 2 means "Proceed urgently, but without lights and sirens."
    Also, even though you had the wrong code, you were also technically right. Code 10 is shorthand for a bomb threat!

    Not only did Alan Rickman get a short count on his drop, the director wanted extra powerful blanks for dramatic effect. Willis suffered some permanent hearing loss after the "shoot from under the table" scene.
    Also, the stunt man in the ventilator shaft was supposed to grab for a vent near by. He really did slip, and barely catch himself. It was left in the final cut.

It is hard to overstate how surprisingly awesome this movie was when it came out, everyone thought it would suck and it blew everyone away. Speaking of rewatchability, I saw this three times the first four days it was out in theaters and again a week later, the first time I snuck in after seeing a different movie as I had nothing else to do and figured if Die Hard sucked I’d just leave halfway through.

    Right after dangling him, McClane goes to the roof (which is the ceiling he's dangling from since the stairs they fight on directly led to the roof), then the roof explosion happens. The explosion damages that whole section, dropped that chain, and he regained consciousness before it was too late (for him)!

    Awesome first time reactions to Die Hard, from Steph and Kristen.
    Fun Facts:
    The film version of Die Hard is actually the sequel to the film version of The Detective, starring Frank Sinatra.
    For this reason, Frank Sinatra was contractually offered the lead role in Die Hard first, but due to his age, Sinatra turned it down.
    Then Die Hard was offered to Arnold Schwarzenegger as a sequel to his movie Commando, but Arnold turned it down.
    With time running out to start production, 20th Century Fox took a gamble and gave Bruce Willis the lead.

    Hi Steph & Kristen, it was great to see you both enjoy this as much as I did when first seeing it, all those years ago. I prefer it when reactors have no idea about the film you are about to watch, often the synopsis can spoil the surprise to come. The 2nd film is also a Xmas film by the way, I look forward to seeing you both reacting to that one as well. Merry Xmas to you both, your families & all your other commentators & viewers. :)

    13:12 "Just kill him." "Why go through all that and waste your energy?" "Now you're gonna cause a whole scene. This was not smart."
    A policeman having an itchy trigger finger is not a good thing. Police aren't supposed to fire their weapons other than in self-defense, despite. John had already caught the guy off-guard from behind, so while he was still armed, he didn't pose an immediate threat to John's life at that point. Elbowing him in the back of the head was a dumb, impulsive move, but their subsequent fight didn't cause any more of a scene than gunshots would have.

    If you only know Rickman as Severus Snape, you need to watch more movies. He plays a great bad guy not just here, but in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves and Quigley Down Under.

      Lol calm down, they didn't say that's only where they know him from, it's just his more recent big hits. I mean Robin Hood is from 1991 and Quigley Down Under was 1990. Heck if anything why didn't you mention Sense and Sensibility 1995 or Dogma 1999 or Galaxy Quest was great. Should you be ridiculed for picking 2 very old examples? Heck he was even in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. If you wanted to give those as suggestions perhaps next time leave out the "you need to watch more movies" snark 😅

    15:34 code 2 in LA means response without lights and sirens (other source says lights but no sirens). In reality it would be a code 3 (full on light and sirens, possibly with assistance), because the dispatch clearly heard gunshots over the radio. This was only for dramatic reasons to build up the connection between McClane and Powell.
