For as awful a character as Ellis was, still have to give him credit: he never compromised Holly. He didn't say, "Hey this is her husband," he told them John, whom he had never met before that night, was his "old friend." I also love that apparently he asked for some coke before calling on the radio and they seemingly misunderstood what he meant.

The reason why Argile was being so cool is because if he was able to stretch out the amount of time he was on the meter for one client, especially if its on a company dime, it turns into a real profitable ride, goes from a simple airport drop off for $120 to an $800-$1200 ride

I was looking for someone to say something like "The way the movie was shot....". When they said I like it when the hero is like this after he says "Yipee Ki Yay Motherfucker", I was thinking this defined those heroes you like this way. His sarcastic, not superman but smart durable everyman started this new genre, along with what was high tech weaponry and tactics. A whole new era of action movie was born with this.

Talk of tv dinners reminded me of how old I am! In the 80s, microwave ovens were mostly for families. Those of us who needed tv dinners (i.e., college students, singles) couldn't afford that luxury! We had to heat up our tin tray tv dinners for 45 minutes in a regular conventional oven!

This movie is so perfect, in every way. The set ups, the pay offs, even down to the sound design. I LOVE the freaking sound effects in this movie with the gun shots and punches and explosions. They hit you strait through the chest with the sound! What a wonderful Christmas movie!

Hans is still regarded as one of the best movie villains of all time and the basis for a lot of the villains that came after him. It's said that the scene where he first meets John in person was not in the original script until the director learned that Alan could do a convincing American accent. Hans was such a liked character that in Die Hard 3, they created a brother for Hans, named Simon who John Goes against.

21:00 back in the day before microwaves became commonplace, tv dinners came in aluminum foil trays with foil lids. It was similar to today's frozen family sized lasagna, but the foil was pressed to create walls to separate the items. (Imagine an aluminum foil school lunch tray) Those tv dinners were heated up in the oven. I'm guessing LA skyscrapers need heating at Christmas.

Fun Fact: The scene when Alan Rickman gets dropped out of the window, they had him up above an air bag and they said "we'll count to three and drop you", but they dropped him on "2" so that look of surprise on his face is genuine. Also, prior to "Die Hard", Bruce Willis was best-known for a TV show called "Moonlighting" where he played a private detective with Cybill Shephard and the same kind hard-boiled snark he displayed in the this movie. Die Hard really made his career.

This movie really started the trend of the "realistic" hero: a down to Earth man who may not have extraordinary skills but works his way through extraordinary circumsrances. Before this action movies were defined by a lot of the actors and archetypes Hans and McClane bring up, either roided out dudes standing there and killing 400 men without reloading (modern at the time) or infinitely stoic quickdraws with notches on their belt in the old west (classics). But here comes this failing marriaged cop who's not even a detective, no martial arts skills or giant muscles, who gets scared and panics but thinks past it, played by a historically romance typecast actor.

Honestly I think the argument ends at "the entire plot only happened because there's a Christmas party" AND more importantly that the entire theme is togetherness, rekindling love and appreciating what we have. Fighting for family values and love overpowering greed and materialism at the core. A flawed every man brings his estranged family back together to overcome the hardship of jaded thieves who only value money over human life. It has such core themes of classic Christmas films it's kind of silly that there's even an argument that it isn't a Christmas film.

38:46 - Fun fact: Alan Rickman actually did his own stunt here. He fell about 50 feet onto some cardboard boxes below painted green (creating a green screen that could be swapped out and replaced with the city below). Director John McTiernan told Alan that he was going to release him on a count of THREE. He actually dropped him on a count of ONE. The surprised look on Rickman's face is authentic. While the actor was not happy about being tricked, this became the film's "money shot". Thanks for another great reaction.

This movie was a groundbreaker when it comes to action. It was the first of its kind to have the hero be an everyday guy. He wasn’t some muscle bound hero that never bled. He was the guy next door who was fighting with his wife, always had a smart comeback, and more than bleeds - he gets his ass kicked. The other thing this movie did different that set the tone for future films was the bad guy was a well-dressed, well-spoken, educated man. Someone who if they sat down next to you at a bar, you’d enjoy conversing with them. This movie defined action movies for the next couple of decades and it almost bombed and was trashed because no one thought Bruce Willis could pull off being an action hero.

Gosh, first It's a Wonderful Life and now Die Hard. You're making this a great time for awesome reactions with your great taste in Christmas movies! XD First time commenting, but I just had to express how excellent your taste in movies is. I first subscribed back at Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, but I lurked longer than that. By then, I knew I was sold by the journey of content you were on, as well as your excellent insights in the analysis portion afterwards. All this to say, thanks for the fun times and I wish you a great holiday. I look forward to more of what you awesome guys bring~

This will tell you how good of an actor the guy who played Ellis was. He always played a straight man before this, boring business type. He had an idea for this character that he ran by the Director… And he loved it. His attitude, mannerisms, and drug use was all his idea. I thought that was pretty cool! 💙💙💙

Fun fact: when Hans falls from that building out the window. They lied at the count when he was to fall. They dropped him at 2 instead of 3, so they could get the most genuine look ever as he's falling.

It seems like everybody is disappointed when McClane says, "Argyle, tell me you heard the shots..." then it shows Argyle sitting in the Limo talking on the phone with the music blaring. What everyone doesn't get is that Argyle is in the underground parking 30+ floors of concrete and steel below where the shots were fired. After the body hits the police car and McClane says, "Welcome to the party pal," it turns out the sergeant's name is actually Powell.

Okay the tv dinner joke.... IN the 80s, TV DInner's were generally packed in aluminum foil to seal in freshness. ONly in the late eighties, early nineties did they switch to plastic. SO prior to the switch, you had no choice but to use an oven to cook them. There were no microwaveable tv dinners back then.

Here are my thoughts on why this is a Christmas movie. Al is tiny tim, unable to pull his gun until he has to. Argyle is the Ghost of Christmas Past, bringing up Johns past to lay the road. Ellis is the Ghost of Christmas Present. He is the reality of what John is dealing with right now. And the guy on the airplane is the ghost of Christmas future. He needs to get John to take off his shoes to eventually experience pain, it is moments after John walks through broken glass when he gives his heartfelt speech about Holly. and just a little extra Ellis, when he is sitting with Hans, one of the villains hands him a glass only filled about a quarter way with coke. He likely asked for "a little coke" expecting the snow you alluded to.

Everyone says it's not a Christmas movie, even Bruce Willis. In the opening title we ear sleigh bells, there's Xmas music in the limo, it takes place at an office Xmas party w/a giant🎄, dude wishes John a merry Christmas and kisses him (fu*king CA), when Johnson & Johnson cut the power the breakfast club principal even says its Christmas. Hell his wife's name is HOLLY! If u can't come to terms with the fact that this is a Christmas movie, then please just go sit in the corner. Also, anyone who's a fan of Home Alone 2, the Grinch, Elf and Gremlins, then I HIGHLY recommend you give the 8min Die Hard movie over on Hack the Movies. It's pretty damn funny.

Like Michael J Fox going from Family Ties to Back to the Future, this film turned Bruce Willis from a television star (Moonlighting) to a movie star (Die Hard). This was Alan Rickman’s film debut. Robert Davi, the “white” Johnson, earned a role as a villain in the Timothy Dalton James Bond film Licence To Kill. Clarence Giltard, Jr. (Theo) landed a role in a long running Andy Griffith tv show (Matlock).

I saw Alan Rickman attend a play at a small theatre in London that I was at for my 17th birthday. I was way too shy to speak to him but I watched him interact with loads of fans for hours after the play and he seemed like nicest man ever. I don't remember what play I saw but I'll always remember him

The movie is literally about a guy who put his work before his family going through a crisis during Christmas and realizing he's wrong and reconnecting with his estranged wife. How is this not a classic Christmas movie plot? Same thing with Lethal Weapon. A sad loner who lost everything and has nothing to live for gets "adopted" by a nice family during the holidays and finds a new appreciation for life, getting back on track.

Love watching you guys doing reactions. Die Hard is a Christmas movie for all the reasons you gave. Every year on Christmas Eve I watch Home Alone (for me it’s Die Hard for kids) followed by Die Hard. Might not be a star but you can get an advent calendar which is Hans falling down the building and each day he gets closer to the ground. Keep up the great work guys. Merry Christmas and have a great New Year
