As Christmas approaches, why not celebrate one of the best holiday films ever? Ok, so Die Hard isn't your traditional Christmas family movie but bet you didn't know it was based on the book, "Nothing Lasts Forever" by Roderick Thorp. Here are the top differences between the novel and film.

The book, though I never read it, being a big Die Hard fan, sounds like an extremely dark character study on a very angry man, and it sounds absolutely insane and like it would make a great movie in itself. The way it ends and how unlike McClane, Leland is the one who gets a lot of people killed, including his own daughter by getting involved.

In order Die hard 2 based off the novel 58 minutes Die Hard with a Vengence based off a screen play for a Brandon lee movie called Simon Says which got shuffled around until Fox got the script and made it Die Hard 3 ....as DH3 came out in 95 (2 years after Lee's passing) yeah... you can see what happened there. Live Free or Die Hard was based on the article "A Farewell to Arms" in Wired (you can find it easily enough)which outlined how the increasingly cybernetic world could be turned around on the people.

milster It's about as much of a Christmas movie as Home Alone. Both main characters are only in this situation due to it being Christmas, although Kevin McCallister is more of a psychopath (or sociopath) surviving a dangerous situation by beating the crap out of two low level burglars, whereas McClane is a father trying to not only survive in a deadly situation but save the lives of many others too. In my opinion Die Hard has more of the Christmas Spirit than Home Alone (which I do love btw).

Technically A Christmas Carol could have taken place at Thanksgiving, or New Years. In fact most Christmas movies could take place at any time of the year. But in order for that to happen there sripts would need modification, and Die Hard would need to be modified too. It's a Christmas movie, and a damn good one. Stop trying to refuse it is.

milster I would argue any Christmas movie could take place at any other time of the year, with the exception of A Christmas Story or one or two others. But A Christmas Carol, easily could take place on Thanksgiving or New Years. Home Alone could also take place at any time in the year. It's A Wonderful Life, which is a considered a Christmas Classic could also take place at any other time of the year, and I don't even consider it Christmas movie as is. Yeah that's right. Die Hard is more of a Christmas movie than It's A Wonderful Life. The main trait of a Christmas movie is that it takes place at Christmas time, and Christmas is more relevant to the story of Die Hard, than It's A Wonderful Life.

In 1986 a friend of mine was living in an apartment building near LA and would hang out with an old guy across the hall who had once been a successful writer - the writers name was Rod Thorp who said he had just sold his book about “terrorists taking over a building” to Fox and that they were making a movie based on it. My friend later directed a movie of his own and put Rod in as an extra.

I love the movie and its been a while since I read the book but i'm sure a major difference is the extended relationship between Mclane and the air hostess on the flight at the beginning of the film. In the movie she shares a flirtatious look with John but I'm sure she is a much more prominent love interest in the book, and there are a few times when Leland is really struggling with his situation and he's thinking about getting through it so he can see her (the air hostess)?

I've never read the book, but I've always heard it analyzed as "McClane" (forgot the actual character's name, and I'm too lazy to find it), being an older, grizzled, more conservative police detective getting himself involved in the terrorist shenanigans just made things worse. That fact thematically ties into the whole reason for the visit to his daughter in the first place, which is to confront her on her professional and personal ethics as he sees it from afar. But, it's his old fashioned good guy vs. bad guy mentality that starts all the shooting and bloodshed that ultimately ends with his daughter being killed. If he had just kept his nose down and stayed out of the way, rather than trying to force his way into controlling the situation, the whole terrorist event would've probably gone down much better, and not killed his only family in the process. That's just what I've heard anyway...

There are a few errors at the end of this video. In "Nothing Lasts Forever" Karl does come out of nowhere and starts shooting. Karl does kill a number of people before he is shot killed by Sgt. Al Powell (Two shots to the head.) as the video states. However Captain Robinson did not voluntarily jump in front of Joe Leland and take a bullet for him. Sgt. Powell actually grabs Robinson and pulls him in front of Leland saving Leland's life. Leland was shot in the leg, but that occurred much earlier in the novel. The novel ends with Leland being given needed medical attention and loaded into a waiting ambulance. He does not remain lying on the street. "Nothing Lasts Forever" is a very good book. It is well worth checking out.

Robinson doesn't jump in front of Leland at the end, Al Powell shoves him in front of Karl's firing line to save Lelands life. Also, it's not actually noted that Leland survives, with the last line suggesting he actually dies.

You missed the start of the book. The cab ride to the airport, where Leland pulls his gun on some asshole causing trouble with the cab driver, and then worrying about it as he goes for the plane. And then the start of his romance with the flight attendant, I forget her name. Then you miss the part about him being obsessed with getting his hands on a kalashnikov, which he sees as a great weapon that would help his fight no end. Instead he ends up with an old BAR, a WW2-era assault style rifle. I also didn't hear you talk about the massive difference in how Leland/Mclane got his wounded feet. It was a planned thing from Gruber in the book, in which he has made his men smash all the lighting in the stairways, letting the broken light tubes fall into the stairs, plunging the stairwell into darkness. Leland then walks into the stairwell, wondering why the lights are out and immediately stepping into the glass and starts straight away to berate himself for literally walking into such a simple trap. And it all happens because Gruber had noticed that Joe had left shoes and socks in the room before escaping. There was also a slightly different reason for the "fists with your toes" thing that Joe does after a flight. This not being something a guy on the plane tells him, but rather something he had found soothing back when he was a pilot years before.

Correction: Deputy Chief Dwayne T. Robinson doesn't leap in front of McClane/Leland at the end of the book. What is says is: "Robinson had his gun out, but he never got off a round. Karl shot first, as Al Powell grabbed Robinson's shoulder and pulled him into Karl's line of fire." Yup. Powell practically straight-up murders Robinson in the original book. The 70's were a different time.

Sammy Lane Not anymore. Since Sinatra declined to appear in the film, Die Hard (before it was called Die Hard) was stripped of all references to The Detective. The Detective more or less has nothing to do with Die Hard, but many things to do with the original book.

You forgot about Kathi Logan. The tart on the plane who Leland meets for a few minutes on the plane but stays in the rest of the book and stays in contact with Leland during his tower escapades, Could have done without her in the book though tbh, Lelend just met her but the book treats it like they've been seeing eachother for months lol.

Just saw a 70mm copy of this film in the cinema here in London. And it was so great. Worth every cent and it just proves how not as good modern day films are, because even though I have seen this film so many times before, I was never once bored of the story and was glued to the screen more than I have been in recent years with the new films.

Watched Die Hard again this year. Here's the thing, the moment in the Bathroom where Mclane tells Powell to find his wife and say he's sorry, is what elevates this movie beyond standard action fare by giving the protagonist (antagonist... I'm not having this argument again!) an emotional arc as well as a structural one. Is there a similar scene in the book? If so, what is it about? Seems like Leland is pissed at his daughter from the beginning and would never change. Please let me know. Merry Christmas and Yip-ee-kay-aye.

Did you guys even read the book as you got a lot of things very wrong. The fists with your toes is not in the book. Robinson does not jump in front of Leland to save him, Powell grabs Robinson's shoulder and forces him in the line of fire. Leland isn't left dying on the floor, the ambulance crew pick him up and out hi the the ambulance. There is an Argyle in the book, he's the black taxi driver at the start that drives Leland to the airport.

+keldaris Maybe in terms of the plot itself, but there are several significant character differences too. Aragorn is much more complicated in the movies, starting unsure of himself (and something of a self-loathing human) whereas in the book he's pretty much always Mr. I-Am-Awesome-And-Will-Be-King the whole way through. Or, Sam was considerably dumber in the book - but still faithful - whereas Merry & Pippin were considerably smarter. Not to mention the omission of Denethor's Palantir from the movies, which I consider to be one of the only major mistakes Jackson made in terms of trims and edits. Or, for that matter, the whole business with Sam's temptation by the Ring was also cut pretty much entirely along with a lot of his trials rescuing Frodo from Minas Morgul.

What about the fact that in the book Gollum slipped on a rock and fell into the lava pit by himself, as opposed to Frodo murdering him in the movie? This is very out-of-character for Frodo, I would say...
