We both had a hell of a time watching this movie with you. Especially your Carl Winslow moment! We literally clapped out loud when you got it.

[@J_EOMReacts]

I’m glad both of you enjoyed it. Lol I have never been so happy to remember a name in my life.

[@logann7942]

Reginald VelJohnson also played a cop in ghostbusters, and a limo driver in Crocodile Dundee. He’s always wearing a uniform. I like to think he’s always just Carl Winslow. Like whatever happens n the movie, he still has to go home and deal with Urkel.

[@EdYardo210]

I’m catching up on your catalog of reactions after first seeing your Saving Private Ryan… i don’t comment on em all, but you are great man keep it up

Trivia note - Alan Rickman knew that he would be dropped physically for that last scene but the director dropped him early just to record his reaction. The look on Rickman's face as he started falling was 100% genuine shock

[@J_EOMReacts]

That’s hilarious

[@Elerad]

The relationship between John and Al in this is so wonderful. They're two men broken in the opposite ways, who are able to help each other heal without even meeting face to face. John has complete faith in his profession, being dedicated to his backlog of cases and job back in New York, and willing to do his job in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds at the Christmas party. His personal life, on the other hand, is a complete disaster, his marriage ruined, his children taken from him, and his faith in his ability to be a husband and father severely shaken. Al is the opposite: a man whose faith in his profession has been destroyed, to the point where he is incapable of pulling his gun and so works what he obviously regards as a meaningless job, jockeying papers across a desk because he can't bring himself to go back on the street. His personal life, however, is going very well. He's obviously happily married, and eagerly anticipating being a father for the first time. Through Al, John is able to give voice to his fears and mistakes, confronting them, and realizing what he needs to do to repair his relationship with his wife. Through John, Al is able to see the value of his profession, and to find courage and meaning once again. God I love this movie. It's so much more than a simple action flick (although it is a GREAT action flick), which I think is why it has stayed so prominent in the public consciousness for years and years, past imitator after imitator.

[@reneedennis2011]

Great analysis!

[@ScarlettM]

Sending best wishes and thanks to Bruce Willis for all his movies! Hope he'll get better!

[@deeanna8448]

Cool bit if trivia: This was "Carl Winslow's" first role. He had been struggling to find work as an actor and was ready to give up. No one really supported him except for his mom who told him not to give up. He did an interview about it. I can't remember for sure, but I think she got to see this movie and died not too long after. He said she was proud of him. Another bit of trivia: Alan Rickman had to do the final fall scene stunt himself. They had him in a harness and told him they were going to release it in the count of 3, but they released him sooner. He was already nervous about the stunt. His facial expression wasn't acting. He was legitimately terrified

[@reneedennis2011]

Thanks for the info!

[@Enigma1788]

False. Die Hard may have been the breakthrough role for Reginald VelJohnson, but his first film appearance was actually in Ghostbusters four years earlier.

[@isaackellogg3493]

This was Bruce Willis’ first action/dramatic role. Before this, he was well known as a comedic actor, so seeing him play the lead role as an action hero was jarring for audiences when this movie first came out. The modern equivalent would be Chris Pratt, who played Andy on Parks and Recreation, until he starred in Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World. This was also Alan Rickman’s first movie ever.

[@randywhite3947]

He had a dramatic role before in Miami Vice

[@haku8645]

Love your reactions man. Your sense of humour is amazing

[@EOMReacts]

I’m glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate that

[@paulrogers4483]

@@EOMReacts I think I laugh more at your comments than the movies themselves LOL

[@Sam-hf8nq]

Fun fact: Alan Rickman (Hans Gruber) agreed to do the fall scene himself when asked by director, John McTiernan, to add authenticity to his death. Rickman was rigged to be dropped backwards onto a crash mat 40 feet below him on the count of "three", however, Die Hard stunt coordinator, Charlie Picerni, devised a plan to drop Rickman at "one" in order to provoke a genuine reaction of shock and terror. And that is the take they went with in the movie.

[@J_EOMReacts]

lol that’s amazing

[@jennhurl]

All I kept thinking was... Wait til John steps on the glass. This man bout to go shoe crazy!!! 🤣

[@J_EOMReacts]

[@shesemerald2011]

The stunt double when John fell down the shaft really missed that first grab.

Fun fact: A blast of C4 travels at 18,000 mph. Good luck running from it. Still a great film. My mother, pacifist as she was, always loved this film for some reason, and it was a Christmas favorite in our house. Weird. 18,000 mph. Process that.

[@Yvo19]

@@znk0r Ha Nah, dude. i know it's not a documentary. However, that is interesting. I did not realise that's how they did it. I did think it was a reduced shaft, on a lot. But, at least 4 or 5 floors. I saw a still of the moment before they dropped "Hans", looks high up. So... Thanks. 🙂

Your feet swell when you fly and then unswell when you land, so yes, a little foot exercise when you land is a good idea. Actually, that’s a good idea just to get some circulation going whether you’ve been flying or not.

@12:35, that is the point - McClane isn't trying to be a hero. He knows he is outnumbered and outgunned. He is a regular ordinary man who just happens to be a police officer. He isn't ex-Special Forces, he isn't a superhero. That is why we root so hard for him. When he sees that help from the outside won't come in time to save his wife and her coworkers, he digs deep and does stuff that he didn't even think he was capable of. I will always love the first Die Hard movie for that reason. After this the movies got more and more outlandish with each release. That's why at the end of this flick, Holly says that she is "Mrs. McClane". She knows he went through hell to save her.

For those interested (probably few but what the hell) in deep Hollywood: Roy Rogers was a brother Mason. In a 40-story building the main action takes place on floors/degrees 30-33. Just down the street (where the police set up shop), well, look at it from Google-Earth and see what you 'see' (around Fairmont Century Plaza & McKinsey & Co). Having been in Hollywood, at high levels, I'm not talkin' trash. This movie is about Ascension. Holly Gennero's namesake is 'holy January'. Ancient deity. The keeper of doors. Ellis is Elohim, the god, to be cast down. It's all very weird how the industry really works. It's like people assuming Hans & co are terrorists, assuming Hollywood are entertainers . . . they have a different agenda.

Oh man this is another of my top fave movies! It’s my family’s xmas movie ❤ Alan Rickman will forever be Hans to me! So excited for u to see him in this role! 😊 Best group of bad guys ever! Karl in real life, I believe, was a ballet dancer! I always look for the ballet kick in the fight 😅 My fave part wasn’t shown here…it’s when the elevator dings and then it blows up 😊 elevator dings always give me chills now

Ah, this is where the "night night!" comes from. I'm catching up

[@J_EOMReacts]

Lol yeah that’s always been my thing

[@emd78s]

I also like how they had a small sub plot with Al and his past. You still saw the hurt on his face but he finally got over not being able to draw his gun on anyone.

So happy when you finally remembered ol’ Carl. 😂 Alan Rickman was also great in Quigley Down Under. Love to see ya react to that one.

[@flargindargin5403]

I liked the focus on the bad guy's hair. Another great reaction. Thank you.

[@JVTrickypants]

Also, I have had two toes amputated and YOU ARE DAMN RIGHT YOU DON'T RECOVER FROM THAT ANY TIME QUICK!!!

[@pechenoir9780]

FYI - the man who played Karl was one of the premiere ballet dancers from Russian Alexander Godunov. that's likely the reason they made use of him KICKING McClean.

[@J_EOMReacts]

It explains why his hair was so amazing too

[@dipsydoodle7988]

Love your reactions. I spent half of it lmao. Great job! 😅

[@J_EOMReacts]

Glad you enjoyed it lol
