DIE HARD 2 (1990) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@SweetLou0523]

This is my favorite of the Die Hard series. I worked at an airport for 10 years, and always took the Christmas shift so my employees could have the night off. We would hang out in the empty concourse with the police and watch this movie and have a unofficial party. Kinda fun hanging out in an airport and watching another airport have a really bad day on tv lol!

[@joebombero1]

I was the ARFF lieutenant at the airport fire station. Our shift Captain had to go through the security gate at the perimeter in order to check on us, nobody could ever surprise us. I slept once from 10am all the way to 3pm and nobody off the airport ever knew. I loved working out there. We got to know the airport police and the tower guys really well.

The Nakatomi building is actually Fox studios' (former) headquarters building in LA - it was brand new and actually still under construction, which is why they could use it for filming, and why some of the floors were incomplete. And, yes, even in the movie, it was LA. The whole point is that Bruce was playing a NYC cop whose wife moved to LA for her career, and he came out to LA for the first time to spend Christmas with her.

Fun Fact: In the first "Die Hard" (1988), John McClane (Bruce Willis) only had a few scripted one-liners. However, Bruce Willis ad-libbed many one-liners and audiences liked them so much, so that in this sequel (and the next one), more gags were added and Bruce Willis was told he could ad-lib as much as he saw fit. Also, the scenes with Bruce Willis running through tunnels under the airport were filmed at a water treatment facility near Los Angeles. The facility has miles of underground tunnels and was also used in "Live Free or Die Hard" (2007), doubling as the Woodlawn Social Security Administration building.

I know I saw that interview and he seems to be a really awesome guy. So does John Amos (Major Grant). Another reason why I love Die Hard 2 is because of that twist! I remember the first time I saw this film I was in my teens I was like "Holy sh!t! They're all bad guys too!?!" Now after seeing that twist it's helped me deduce similar twists in other films, no matter what genre, before the reveal occurs. For example Scream 3. Many people mention that the reveal of the killer's identity comes completely out of left field. When I saw Scream 3 I was in college studying Performing Arts and when I saw that first scene with Roman Bridger, I thought "You're the director of Stab 3. Your cast are dying and your irate because your movie has been shut down? You're the killer because you're 'directing your own horror movie'." Turned out I was correct about the identity but not the motive as such.

It’s rare that a sequel is as good as the original, but a second sequel that’s as good is almost unheard of… DH:WAV achieves that. Willis is great as John McClane, but the supporting cast of Samuel L. Jackson and Jeremy Irons are fantastic too. Die Hard 4.0 starts to get a bit tired, and Die Hard 5 is so far removed from its counterparts that if not for the title and Willis as McClane, you would think it was a different movie on its own. As you’ve both enjoyed Die Hard 1 & 2, I would recommend 12 Rounds. Same producer as Die Hard 2.

[@richardb6260]

This is my favorite Die Hard sequel. A lot of people will say the third one. But I like that they play with the coincidences of all this happening again on Christmas and that John is kind of a celebrity because of the first film. Always liked the scene where the girl at the desk comes on to him and he holds up his wedding ring. I think this one may be more of a Christmas movie than the first film. There's the snow and a lot more Christmas paraphernalia on display.

[@shredd5705]

I thought part 3 is weird and totally different. It abandons almost everything about Die Hard (christmas, night time setting, confined space like airport or Nakatomi). It seemed like Die Hard 3 put together all the ideas for a Die Hard movie they had (locations) and then shuffled the bag... it's all over the place. Samuel L. Jackson is good in it though, and Bruce Willis as usual. But the setting doesn't have the same kind of atmosphere. A cruise ship would have been better (a confined space). They were already working on a script where Lucy McClane and John are on holiday on a cruise ship, and terrorists seize it. But they abandoned the script because Under Siege got ahead of them and did a ship (which was straight Die Hard ripoff). I wonder how Die Hard 3 would have been, if Under Siege didn't steal their idea

@@fergalhughes165 Yes DH2 has a lot of "fan service" in it, elevator, air ducts, familiar elements. But I think it still stands on it's own, it has many elements that first one didn't, like the Major Grant plot twist. And that McClane isn't alone. I also think if 3rd movie was also set in Christmas, it would have been corny. It's not called "Christmas Cop" after all. So it's wise that they made it a summer setting instead. But not really sure if "city" can be considered confined space. I always thought (before DH3 released) that it will be set on a ship, metro, a sports stadium or place like that. Something that you can seal off. I think the script writers thought of those too, since all those locations are in DH3, just briefly. They lumped together all locations they had. I like DH3 but it's very different tone. McClane being in hangover and disrespected by his colleagues (initially) etc.

Interestingly, respected critics Gene Siskel & Roger Ebert considered this to be the best in the franchise. The latter somehow didn't like the original, while the former ranked this sequel as the 6th best film of 1990 above the likes of Dances with Wolves and Godfather 3. Screen Junkies even did a couple of "Honest Action" videos for the series, and it was determined that McClane's chances of survival was actually at its most plausible in this film. It also has one of the greatest finales ever. Throughout the movie, the villains are always ahead of the protagonist. Even though McClane makes progress w/ each action scene, all of them (prior to the climax) ends w/ a trade-off of him losing: no one was left to interrogate after the baggage fight, the antenna array explodes and a plane is crashed after the skywalk shootout, Esperanza escapes after landing, and McClane ends up w/ blank ammunition in the snowmobile chase. All leading up to the plane fight where John loses against Stuart, and it seems that all hope is lost for Holly's plane. This is what Chris Stuckmann likes to call the "Breaking Point" moment, where the hero is at his lowest point in an action sequence and has to come up w/ a way to get out of that predicament. McClane does so after uttering his famous catchphrase and lighting the fuel trail left by the plane. With a single stroke, he finally defeats the bad guys and saves all of the hostages.

I think the first 3 Die Hard movies are must sees (the 3rd one takes place in the summer) and I like the 4th one but the 5th, I could take it or leave it.

[@stephen2583]

1,2 and 4 for me. I can leave 3 and 5.

4:53 William Sadler was in Iron Man 3 where he portrayed President Ellis (which he would also gone to play in Agents of SHIELD).

[@davevannatta985]

Cliffhanger by the same director Renny Harlin is definitely worth a reaction from you ladies.

[@guhalakshmiratan5566]

Also, the actor playing Col. Stuart is William Sadler. Besides his Shawshank Redemption reference, he also portrayed another famous Colonel - "Chesty" Puller from HBOs "The Pacific" 🙂

I cannot sleep with my socks on. Great reaction! I love all of the Die Hard movies. Merry Christmas & yippee ki-yay!🙂

22:01 How bout that part where Gen. Esperanza is standing in the doorway of a gigantic airplane, and John McClaine, who is standing on the ground, punches him in the face. His arm would have to be like 12 feet long lol.

[@pduidesign]

I love how they forgot the planes had phones (like the one Holly used to call John). You’d think they would just use those to communicate.

[@PersonWMA]

Well, the script tried to address it by saying they reached "three of the planes" via phone. At least it was acknowledged, but honestly, the "plane hostage" thing really doesn't work the way the movie thinks it does.

[@jamietaylor5570]

Well, there are about a million other reasons why the whole scheme would never work, from the comms to the ILS. Plenty of dramatic license taken :)

[@steriopticon2687]

Almost nothing technical makes sense in this movie, but it is fun.

Maybe they’ll do it next Christmas (though that one doesn’t have anything to do with X-mas).

[@jdanon203]

4th one is even better IMO. If I had to rank them I'd say 4, 1, 3, 2, 5. The last one should have never been made it was so bad.

[@chrisbate9956]

Classic film. I do community radio here in the U.K. and I often play your great theme tune, "Alienated" and gave you and your channel a mention live on the radio. 👍 Keep up the good work. You're one of the most genuine reactors on KZbin.

Every Christmas eve with "a couple" of Guinness stout - (not draught) while waiting for Santa. My favourite 80's/90's action movie, my favorite christmas movie and my favorite Die Hard movie - it is perfect. I miss the 80's when kill counts were huge and blood bag squibs didnt vaporize the blood into a mist and everything was gloopy.

[@8lackbeard791]

Die Hard with a Vengeance (3) is a MUST watch now you have seen 1 & 2 - It would be great to see your reaction to that. It's also not a Christmas movie, so we don't have to wait a year haha

[@TheShornak]

Die Hard took place in Los Angeles. The building used was the 20th Century Fox Building who made this movie. It's actually located in Century City. I made a delivery to that building soon after that movie came out and it really does look like that in the lobby and elevators.

[@spacerazer]

Surprised you missed William Sadler. He is the bad guy Stuart who guided the plane to its fiery end. He was also in Green Mile as the father of the dead girls and Heywood in Shawshank Redemption.

[@scottknode898]

William Sadler also played the main villain Senator Vernon Trent in Hard To Kill in 1990 as a corrupt politician with mob ties who goes against Steven Seagal.

[@crashfan9997]

He's also in The Mist and Iron Man 3.

The actress who played the mum in Parenthood is Mary Steenbergen. Bonnie Bedelia plays Holly McClane.

[@Harkon75]

I hope you will continue the DIE HARD series (at least part 3 and 4, part 5 is not so good). Other good action movies from the 80s/90s: -Lethal Weapon (all 4 movies are great!) -The long kiss goodnight (starring Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson) -The last boy scout (starring Bruce Willis, Damon Wayans and Halle Berry)

The parade music at the end called Finlandia from Jean Sibelius. Renny Harlin who directed the movie was born in Finland.

[@MrBlue3rd]

DH2 is just as much of a Christmas movie as DH.

[@bad-people6510]

"That punk pulled a Glock-7. You know what that is?" Something you just made up. Because that gun doesn't exist, and literally every thing you said about Glock was wrong. One of them had a Glock 17, which is an AUSTRIAN gun that contains no porcelain and is in fact more than 80% steel, thus why it does in fact show up under a metal detector. The other guy had a Beretta 92 which doesn't have so much as a plastic casing, therefor also undercutting the whole metal detector idea, and is also the same gun Lorenzo uses.

[@cameronrobinson3933]

I absolutely love this movie and the first Die Hard and the next one Die Hard with the vengeance is pretty good too.

[@rbloomquist69]

The lethal weapon series goes hand-in-hand with the die hard series, hopefully that makes your list one day, and yes Die Hard is a Xmas movie

Amazing how lax airport security was pre-9/11! Getting a taser on a plane would've been no problem! Looking forward to DIe Hard WIth A Vengeance. My favorite of the series.

[@87ventus]

Hi always love your reactions. Die Hard 1, 3 & 4 to me are the best. What i love the most in Die Hard 4..is when our John McClain gives a Samwise(LOTR)-like speech about "being that guy" the guy that sees something bad happening & 'being that guy' has to do something..no matter what. Like that.. "the only way for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing" .. Which is used in another great Bruce Willis movie. " Tears of the Sun". Hope you watch.✌

[@Jordashian93]

Perfect action pack Christmas movie this is

[@peterbrown3608]

First Die Hard was in LA, Die Hard 2 was Dulles Airport, Washington, Die Hard With a Vengeance was New York, Die Harder (4) was also Washington, then I think they went to Moscow? Bruce Willis stated that it isn't a Christmas movie, but it is :)
