Watching this movie every year is my Christmas tradition. Glad you guys enjoyed it.

Even veteran stuntman always want to look at where they are going to land. Always. And Rickman never did. Amazing

This movie kicked off a seismic shift in how action movies were made -- in Arnold's heyday he was a near-invulnerable quippy killing machine; John McClain is vulnerable as hell, upbraiding himself as he claws his way to survival and triumph, much more everyman rather than superman. Audiences LOVED it, and Hollywood noticed.

At the time, Bruce Willis was known for his role on Moonlighting, a light romantic comedy/private detective TV show. He came out of nowhere to be a star on TV and it was still somewhat unusual for a TV star to make the leap to leading roles in movies. He definitely wasn't thought of as an action star. Die Hard was huge that year and propelled him into leading man status.

The stunt team, as you call them, doesn't drop actors as a rule. For one thing stunts are what THEY do for a living because, generally, the insurance company won't allow actors to do stunts. That's why they have stunt people. A very few actors do some of their own stunts, but they don't involve things like falling 50 stories and that wasn't even a stunt person anyway. Bottom line: the production insurance company would never have allowed Rickman to do something that. The insurance on even a stunt person to fall that distance would be astronomical simply because it cannot be done safely, even for stunt people. I can promise you, they did not drop Alan Rickman off of that building in any way shape or form. The look on his face is called acting. Do some more research on your "Fun Facts." That one is not true!

A lot of the movie and character references they made were to old Western movies from the 50s through the 70s. Actors like John Wayne, Gary Cooper, and Roy Rogers defined the genre of the tough as nails, take-action cowboys of the late 1800s and turn of the century. A lot of kids who grew up in that time period were heavily influenced since that's the TV they had to watch growing up. So, Hans and John making references to those characters makes perfect sense given their generation. If you're ever in the mood for a throw (WAY) back movie, you could certainly get some enjoyment from watching such films as "The Sons of Katie Elder", "Chisum", "Big Jake", "High Noon", "Man of the West", or "True Grit".

One of the best action movies of all time. The protagonist and antagonist both make smart choices. Its not over the top like the Schwarzenegger and Stallone movies during that time (Bruce Willis was actually 7th or 8th choice) - but instead he played a normal dude whose first reaction is to call help, who has a dead bod and just happens to have to be the hero. I mean, he even tries to safe the trashy broker by claiming he doesn't know him. And the antagonist is also making smart choices (i.e. "shoot the glass"). Not to mention there are a lot of tense moments throughout the entire movie that really got you pressed into your seat rather than just big boom explosions. Also it was both Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman breakthrough movie. As well as ending the over the top heroes of the 80s by having more grounded action from there on.

So, two pedantic answers to questions you barely asked, but as a gun nut: 1. It’s actually quite believable that the cop in the lobby couldn’t hear the gunshots several floors above. Most indoor gun ranges the shots (especially with handgun rounds) are barely able to be heard through a couple layers of glass. Through several floors of a building it would be virtually silent. 2. No, the mp5 doesn’t have unlimited ammo lol. In fact the magazine only holds 30 rounds, and the gun can fire them all in ~2.5 seconds. This is a common trope in movies- very rarely do we actually see them reload. But it does look cool to the average viewer.

The part that makes it a Christmas movie is the redemptive story arcs of John, Holly, Al and even Argyle. John and Holly's family is close to breaking up because of their marriage being on the rocks. Al is haunted by his mistake as a street cop and is about to welcome his first child into the world. Argyle spends nearly the whole movie showing how immature he is by calling his girlfriend, lying to her about what he does for a living and drinking the limo's mini bar. By the time the movie is over? Argyle has become a hero by building up his bravery and thwarting the bad guys' escape. Al has finally overcome his old mistake and fired his gun in protection of his new friend. And John and Holly have rekindled their love and decide to spend Christmas together with their kids. In that way, it may not be your average Christmas movie. But its themes of redemption, love, friendship, family and self-sacrifice are ALL high notes of countless Christmas classics. There's Christmas comedies, Christmas dramas and Christmas musicals. But this is the only Christmas action movie I think I know of. Have I convinced you ladies? 😊 Merry Christmas!

The people you said you don't know in the middle, John Wayne and Roy Rogers where movie stars. Roy Rogers was famous for being the singing cowboy, he would play a guitar and sing riding his horse, but few of his movies really stand out. John Wayne was one of the biggest stars of Hollywood for two decades and was almost synonymous with the cowboy western star. If you want to watch Wayne there are any number of movies to choose from a career that spanned five decades from the mid twenties to the late seventies. Stagecoach (1939) directed by John Ford turned him from a popular actor into a Star, and True Grit (1969) won him an Academy Award for Best Actor. He starred in over 140 movies and was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

I appreciate your honesty and forthrightness in sharing your difficulties and how therapy can help. I have suffered from depression, anxiety and nasty panic attacks as a result of severe delayed chronic PTSD from my two combat tours in Vietnam. When thoughts of suicide started intruding on my thoughts and horrible nightmares were attacking me in my sleep, in desperation I finally sought out mental health help from the VA. For the past two years, I have undergone intense psychotherapy coupled with medication to ease the panic and depression. It is not easy to talk to others about mental problems and I applaud your courage. God bless you.

This was the first of 3 Die Hard movies all take place on the holidays. Bonnie Bedelia has been in a ton of things. Not sure where you might know her from. She is also the aunt of MacCaulay Culkin (The Home Alone kid). The people he mentioned John Wayne - Huge movie star, did a lot of westerns, Gary Cooper - same thing, Roy Rogers was an actor in TV and movies who was famous as a singing cowboy.

One of my favorite Christmas movies of all time. John had the Christmas spirit. Caring about others. At the end of the day, it was about a family getting back together for the holidays. Very Christmassy. So much fun.

"There are two types of people in this world; those who think Die Hard is a Christmas movie, and those who are wrong" -Sun Tzu Also, this movie totally has Christmas Spirit! The whole movie is about the importance of family coming together for Christmas! Plus, If Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie, neither is Home Alone :/

There is absolutely Christmas spirit. The film is about John and Holly learning to communicate better and repair their relationship, their family reuniting, people supporting each other when they need it and finding the strength to be vulnerable with each other. Cinema Therapy does a great video on this and confirms it as a Christmas movie for these reasons.
