Die Hard (1988) REACTION | FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@ZombieShobb]

Harry Potter people watching Die Hard: "It's Professor Snape!" Me watching Harry Potter: "It's Hans Gruber!"

[@VladislavBabbitt]

LOL.

[@thoso1973]

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves fans watching: "It's the Sheriff of Nottingham!""

[@Otokichi786]

"Galaxy Quest" fans: "It's Dr. Lazarus!";)

[@MeFreeBee]

In 1988 not only could you smoke in the terminal, you could smoke on the flight!

[@feudist]

It's not Christmas until I see Hans fall from Nakatomi Tower.

[@marksummers666]

This is one of the best, most complete screenplays ever...the structure, the character development, the payoffs, the humor, it's all so perfect (and was constantly being rewritten on the fly).

[@BruceJohnson-om5kl]

Roy Rogers was a famous TV Cowboy from the 70s and 80s.

[@michaelswain845]

More like the 50's & 60's. Fast food restaurants in the '70s & 80's

[@BruceJohnson-om5kl]

There 30 floors up, they wouldn’t hear it. Five lanes of traffic.

[@cobbycaputo3332]

And lots of concrete in between.

[@arraymac227]

Favorite line: 'I have a machine gun. Ho Ho Ho'

[@BruceJohnson-om5kl]

He became Carl Winslow after this Movie on Family Matters!

[@bigernmacrackin6176]

The director dropped Hans early from a countdown so his expression falling was legitimately him being scared....

[@HorrorFan-WrestlingFan]

Fantastic Christmas movie 😂😂 hope you enjoyed it it's on of my favourites god bless Bruce Willis

[@Deathmetallad]

One of the best action films of all-time!

[@Bruce-Wayne-101]

Great pick, one of my favorite Christmas movies. 🎅🏻

[@DatoKurtskhalia]

Alan Rickman was pure treasure of this world.

[@SparksDrinker]

Yippee kay yay Mr Falcon

[@arraymac227]

Principal from _Breakfast Club_, "Clarence Beeks" from _Trading Places_

[@brianrussell7369]

Sometimes I wonder how people make it through life without watching some of these very popular movies.

[@calvertbeatz5288]

They don't. Just pretending they haven't earns some KZbin money 😂

[@brianrussell7369]

@@calvertbeatz5288 Yea, that is what I think too

[@gregorygant4242]

​@@calvertbeatz5288So you think everybody on YT are just BS'ing to earn money, or maybe that they weren't born in the 70's early 80's and didn't watch many of these 80's movies ?

[@MartinBeerbom]

1) When McClane falls down the air shaft, the stuntman was supposed to catch the first vent opening, and missed. Through the powers of editing, McClane grabs the second one, but if you look at the footage of the stuntman falling, you'll notice that he was not able to do that. 2) Bruce Willis suffered permanent hearing loss in one ear from the shooting under the table.

[@thoso1973]

Also, Alan Rickman fires his prop gun close to his right ear when he discovers Holly's true identity. That's... not good, I think.

[@szwak49]

When they did the stunt where Hans falls off the building, they had Rickman suspended in air and was planning on dropping on 3 count. But the director told the crew to drop him on 2, so the look of fear on his face was authentic

[@MartinBeerbom]

The Nakatomi building is in reality the headquarters of 20th Century Fox, which had just been build at the time. As its fictional counterpart, it had many floors still unfinished, which were used for filming (mostly after hours). 20th Century Fox charged themselves rent for this.

[@ianhill8345]

Great reaction Sam and Tristan to the best die hard movie. Many sequels to come

[@scottluvisi9941]

Bruce Willis said this is NOT a Christmas Movie.

[@peterzerfass4609]

"Barefoot is going to work to your advantage..." Oh boy...XD

[@TheCatbert2010]

The kid Al shot was Urkel. He finally did it, it was no accident. 😂

[@TXRager]

Bonnie Bedelia (Holly Gennaro) is Macaulay Caulken’s aunt. I guess they have a penchant for Christmas movies and thievery.

[@gallendugall8913]

Distracted the whole movie by the Clan Ghostbear pendant At its core this is a movie about family and forgiveness

[@watchreadplayretro]

I always remind myself that back then the world knew Bruce for his role in Moonlighting! Jan De Bont's (Speed) training ground :D Thanks guys, a lot of fun!

[@garmisra7841]

I don't think we needed to have the "Powell redeems himself moment" because he was already so helpful to JOhn while he was inside. If Karl had been arrested, he could have gone to jail, and then in the inevitable sequel he might have been able to redeem himself by helping McClane against Simon Gruber in the 2nd sequel. That would have been cool to see. But its' just my brain painting what-if scenarios!

[@VladislavBabbitt]

This was a really good movie.

[@TangentOmega]

Alan Rickman's first movie. John's t shirt changed from white to green, midmovie.

[@bmw128racer]

Big continuity error. 🤭

[@carlooldani3150]

Already just the title DIE HARD with the two words that come closer with that muffled drum beat; pure entertainment!!

[@deathninja16]

roy is short for "Roy rogers"(who he referenced earlier to hanz) he was a country western star that was inducted into the country music hall of fame twice.

[@Emiigiirl]

Ooooh one of my favorites!! 😊 Side question: Will you guys be continuing the Scream movies ? 🥹

[@johnnyX-me5ec]

Christmas movie time, this upload just made my day thanks guy's and merry Christmas to you thanks for all the great content this year and looking forward to seeing what's next year 👍

[@Otokichi786]

"Die Hard": Officer John McClane finds this song on the plane from NYC to California: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYqrnZh8e82ffM0 Bruce Willis is a very different Action movie hero. He isn't a muscle-bound Rambo type, has moments of Fear/Uncertainty/Introspection, takes damage, and is "dead man walking" by the last quarter of the movie. He's a working class dog, who rides in the FRONT seat of the limousine. As such, he's a favorite of men and women; yep I liked "John McClane" from the start;) Two (sorta) memes: "Christmas doesn't begin until Hans Gruber falls off the Nakatomi Plaza building." "Every time a KZbin viewer falls in love with 'Firefly,' a Fox TV executive falls off the Nakatomi Plaza building."

[@ethanvilla4418]

"Roy" IS a cowboy by the way. Roy Rogers.

[@aarrgghh]

it's all right there in the title: on one hand mcclane was relentless and too tough to kill, and on the other hand everyone in this movie who didn't make it to the end, first to last, died hard. they all died real hard.

[@Lamas746]

Die Hard 2 next?

[@bmw128racer]

Check out the price of gas back in 1988: 78 cents. 😲😲😲

[@SCharlesDennicon]

41:24 That is not "Christmas music", it's Beethoven! ^^;

[@shanialover]

All 5 DCie Hard movies are good. Number 2 is also a Christmas movie.

[@zsmate2526]

Every Christmas is the same! I want to survive somehow!

[@Otokichi786]

A song for you from a singer-songwriter who never got to make a Christmas album: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYqrnZh8e82ffM0

[@gunforce5559]

My favorite Christmas movie

[@Olafurh21]

Please put Lethal weapon (1987) on the watchlist which is the first movie in a rival series to Die hard and curiously also a christmas movie. Thanks!

[@Otokichi786]

I have tried over the years to like "Lethal Weapon," but I never bought this iteration of Mel Gibson. (sigh.) But then, I liked him as "Tim" (1979) when Turner Classic Movies Sunday Imports played it some years ago.

[@Olafurh21]

@@Otokichi786 What? It's one of his greatest performance. but, yeah, each to his own I guess.

[@havok6280]

It makes me sad that so many Millennials only know Alan Rickman from Harry Potter...😢

[@GorgeousGeorge97]

Sheez dem Fenster!

[@jh5131]

Hope you guys can delve more into John McTiernan's (director of this movie) filmography he has some fantastic films

[@TangentOmega]

DIE HARD PHYSICS ‐- How do they work? Is it possible to hear gunshots coming from the 30th floor, in the lobby? (~400 ft away) Let alone if they're fired outside? What do you think?

[@coreypohlman8539]

i like die hard 2, but i think 3 is better.

[@ThomasBeauchamp-m8m]

There are people who say this is a Christmas movie and there are people who are wrong.😜

[@fightingidiocy7724]

the "oh it's a Christmas move" started as joke on old IMDB message board..because of the Christmas music that was added late in production. In order to save money, the Studio filmed it at their home offices of Fox Plaza, in later November. By this time, Christmas decorations had already been put up in the building. They had no money or time to remove them, so they stayed. That's the only reason why people call this a Christmas movie. It's not:" Even the Bruce Willis, the Director, the original novelist, and Producers said "it's not a Christmas movie" But the most important reason: There's not a single mention of Christ, no cross, no crucifix , nothing, which a requirement for a Christ-mass movie. Because the it's a HOLY-day named after him. If people want to celebrate Christmas, that fine, but please QUIT EXCLUDING CHRIST from our stuff.

[@jimmyzee7040]

McLane knew it was Hans when he gave him the name of Bill Clay, the name on the bulletin board directory was Wm Clay, Wm is William or Bill for short. Hans took the name from the bulletin board directory which exposed him.

[@norwegianmaster744]

My favourite Christmas movue. God jul !!

no Christ Christmas, therefore...

[@szwak49]

How do they edit out YIPPEE KIYAY, MUTHAFUCKA?

It's not Christmas until Hans Gruber falls from the Nacatomi Bldg.

[@fightingidiocy7724]

It's not Christmas until Jesus is born, actually.

C'mon bro STOP talking over dialog!! You're missing great lines in these reactions!!!

[@Otokichi786]

This is a REACTION channel, so I expect viewers to talk about the movie. Their banter isn't as bad as what I've seen/heard from much younger-gotta-talk-constantly viewers.;)
