his ''smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo'' line reminded me that if you guys haven't seen it, you gotta check out Pulp Fiction. It's a great film with Sam and Bruce too.

[@daveking9393]

This has been a real fun journey with you guys. Thanks so much for all you do. You do a great job editing and I really appreciate you sharing everything. Keep up the great work!

[@ivannbg6212]

Please continue to watch Lethal weapon the godfather of all buddy cop movies. And BEVERLY HILLS COP franchise.

[@SSD_Penumbra]

Fun fact about this movie; the director was actually investigated by the FBI. The plan Simon uses would have actually succeeded in real life, and the fbi wanted to know how the director knew. He used publicly available records that ANYONE could have researched. Because of this movie, they upped security.

[@extantsanity]

Came here to say all of this. Fucking epic. It would have been such a shame to have this heist planned out in a lesser movie, I'm so glad it was used so well for such a phenomenal movie with the right talent in all the right places (acting, dialog, cinematography, sound, etc.)

[@reptomicus]

They had to relocate within the vault to secure it. The gold really was behind the subway wall.

[@newspooiechannel]

It wasn't actually the director, but the writer, Jonathan Hensleigh. He was investigated with regard to the layout of the Federal Reserve building, the vault's placement and how it was being guarded, since it matched the actual layout and process of the building. The information he used was from a news article that was originally published in a magazine. On that note... John McTiernan, the director (and director of the original film) later went to jail for illegal wiretapping, perjury and lying to the FBI.

[@SSD_Penumbra]

Surprisingly its not the first, and more infamously, the North Hollywood shootout between two bankrobbers and the LAPD was directly inspired by Heat. One of the bank robbers watched it and essentially copied it. @@extantsanity

[@ItsLikeFerrari]

Whoa what?@

[@jjkcharlie]

The return of John McTiernan. This feels like more of a sequel than the second.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

We agree! The second one feels like the odd man out but it’s still enjoyable! This one however brought back that style from the first one that we enjoyed😃

[@doughbafett]

Mostly because it completely ignores McClane moving to LA before the second movie to be with his family.

[@Powerhaus88]

Heretic! *throws Holy water*

[@vladyvhv9579]

@@CYB3R2K The second movie feels more out of place in the series. While it's a good movie, Die Hard 2 is just the weakest of the bunch. Hans and Simon are 2 of the truly iconic movie badguys in movie history. It being a more elaborate heist ties in with the first. And 4 and 5 following the same trend as 3 makes me question if you know the series.

[@williambryan3346]

⁠@@doughbafett It doesn’t completely ignore the second movie. There’s a reference to insurance fraud cases in Los Angeles toward the beginning when McClane is in the van getting ready to wear the infamous sign in Harlem.

[@ryand34561]

I love the Die Hard series, but this was always my favourite! Bruce Willis and Sam L Jackson just had so much chemistry and played off each other so well!

[@brianvalencia7717]

Their chemistry's so good, they did 3 other films together: Pulp Fiction, Unbreakable, and Glass.

[@Temeraire101]

Completely agree😁😁

[@brianvalencia7717]

​@@Varley-k1nYeah, I know! I was just listing all of the other films the did together.

[@Сергей-я4ъ6ж]

Don't forget to watch The Fifth Element, yet another great Bruce Willis film. And in case you are somehow not familiar with its director, Luc Besson, allow yourself to be introduced to a whole bunch of really good movies and franchises to watch, such as The Transporter, District 13, Leon: The Professional, and many others. His style is unique. You're gonna love it.

[@arturoperez352]

Nothing for Valarian 😢

[@lilchickenwing3955]

Love Leon, also funny enough that’s literally the order I watched them first I went die hard, finished the first 3 then heard of fifth element, then heard of Bessons other films like Leon, etc

[@BigJohnLXV]

R E.D. is one of the best Willis movies

[@H2LaPyr]

The Transporter and District 13 were not directed by Besson, I think he only produced them.

[@Сергей-я4ъ6ж]

First of all, he is a screenplay writer, and his studio, Europa Corp, is a main production studio for those mentioned. I'd say the guy is just too busy to direct every movie of his own scripts himself. There is a deep collaboration, and his role is crucial. That's why those films are widely recognized as Luc Besson's, I beleive.@@H2LaPyr

[@darthroden]

Yeah I recognized Scar's voice right away. Jeremy Irons was the perfect casting for the role of villain in this movie.

[@Khay-77]

The original director of the first movie and also who did Predator comes back to knock it out of the park with a great follow up nobody expected to be this entertaining. Sam Jackson and Bruce Willis are great together and we got a great villain with Jeremy Irons.

[@Nelson_Win]

Scar played a ruthless German Terrorist here.

[@angelkay311]

If you guys watch the 4th one, make sure you watch the unrated version. It was PG-13 in the theaters, but they released it unrated on DVD & bluray. It adds much more violence & McClane cursing.

[@kurtrivero368]

Both versions suck ass.

[@hyperchronicxlc]

THIS. The 4th is actually my second favorite after the OG. And it needs that R rating IMO.

[@iKvetch558]

"Are you aiming for these people?!" "No! Well...maybe that mime!" 😂😂 This movie is so great and John McTiernan is so underrated these days...I wish we could see more movies from him, but I do not see most folks giving a chance to him given his past acts and status as convicted felon...not to mention he is in his 70s.

[@merchillio]

[@LukeLovesRose]

Die Hard With A Vengeance is one of the greatest sequels ever made. It's one of the greatest 3rd installments in a franchise ever. And Die Hard With A Vengeance is more proof that the 1990s is one of the greatest decades in film history

[@worldofgreenhell]

Not gonna lie, this is my favorite one in the series. That explosion at the beginning is one of the most epic explosions recorded in film history.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Yoooo that explosion was sick!! This one had such a strong start, it was amazing!

[@peterlenham3180]

It really isnt. The explosions in Die Hard 2 are better.

[@surfingtothestars]

it's one of the more realistic explosions

[@worldofgreenhell]

@@peterlenham3180 Die Hard 2 is Hollywood explosion, and yes it looks pretty cool, this one is more like realistic with high shock value. Also doing this in New York IRL demands respect for the effort.

I hope that Bruce's family sits him down and make him watch ALL of these Die Hard movies! Even if he can't recall them right now, at least he gets to see what a Bad Ass Dude he portrayed and all the joy he's given to his fan base over the years!!

[@GrimWillows]

It is crazy to think this is mostly practical and on location for $90million. If this was made now it would look terrible, cost $300 million, have poor CGI 'everything' and, more importantly, would have terrible writing and unlikeable characters. There are so many 80s and 90's thrillers as tight as this. It is a lost art. Saw this at the cinema and they just cannot make em like this anymore.

[@moondog3056]

Grumpy old man alert

[@yzskick]

Its not a lost art. Its an issue that writers have become scared to TRY anything for fear of SJW's getting offended by every tiny thing (weak willed fks) and causing mob mentality through social media which in turn causes companies to blacklist people to mitigate blame. Its sad that society has become so pathetic and emotionally weak. Another major issue is that upcoming young writers just dont have the face to face social upbringing that the older generations had, they now grow up staring at a phone screen which ruins their ability to design a character with a unique/compelling/powerful/emotional personality (cant learn true emotion and reactions through a screen of text), this results in many generic characters that all blend together or are just copies of what was recently popular.

[@kevinpernod9336]

Best one in the series, the chemistry between Sam and Bruce is a once in a generation collaboration. Fun fact. The writer of this film, Jonathan Hensleigh, also wrote Jumanji and Armageddon. Two other great 90's films. He also directed the criminally underrated super hero film The Punisher with Thomas Jane in 2004 which was way before its time. Writer of Batman Begins David Goyer admitted he borrowed some of the darker themes of it when when asked by Nolan to pen the script.

[@Ladmia]

This one is always my favorite as I saw it in the theaters. Granted I was 8 and my dad was constantly putting his hand over my eyes 😂. Mom was out of town for work and he wanted to see it, so my sister and I went with him. Keep going with these. The next one cracks me up with their chemistry.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

This was fantastic! No wonder you guys have been asking for these! Your dad sounds awesome haha glad he brought you guys to watch this with him. 😄

[@KCohere33]

I saw it in theater too. It was a fun time.

[@glennwelsh9784]

This is one of those movies that didn't make an impact upon initial release but gained a much greater appreciation over time. It takes the Die Hard formula and completely opens it up. Instead of being contained to a single building or an airport, it's a massive fast-paced thrill ride spread out across one of the busiest cities in the world.

[@artofalmost9479]

It was the highest grossing film of the year...

[@47imagine]

What? This movie was a HUGE hit, made a ton of money.

[@LordBaktor]

If you're hungry for more classic Bruce Willis, The Last Boy Scout is a pretty good one. Written by the guy who wrote Lethal Weapon if I'm not mistaken.

[@seanbrookshier1466]

Yes, they need last boy scout and fifth element. I hope they do those

[@Badner83]

As a German, I love it when Denise translates the German parts of movies... I'd love to see you both watching some successful German movies (with subtitles) in the future. "Das Boot" (1981), "Der Untergang" (2004), "Das Experiment" (2001)

A long kiss goodnight is a heck of a movie with an epic cast ! Love you guys as reviewers!!🎉

[@Hugovika]

awesome movie!

[@bigbird908]

Real talk, one of my favorite understated elements about this film is that all of John's team were competent and had GOATED moments. Whether it's the two that run into the building to help the kids stuck thinking A BOMB WAS GONNA GO OFF or the bomb homie not bailing when he hears that there's still kids stuck inside or even the sheer fact that the captain was not the stereotypical red taping dick... it's such a cool little detail that shows that John may have picked adopted this courageous behavior or inspires this amongst his colleagues.

[@johnnytucker6709]

Simon says "I killed Mufasa"

[@tattycakes2k2]

Ironic that his brother was dropped from a height like mufasa 😂

[@theamaranthineman574]

Funny how McClane says he was "smoking cigarettes and watching captain kangaroo" when the song that contains those lyrics (Flowers on the wall by The Statler Brothers) was playing on the radio when his character Butch in Pulp Fiction, which came out a year before this movie, was driving his car when he "ran across" Marcelus Wallace in the street... before running him over. It's a cool little nod.

[@No_Joke_Pro]

“Working on a fat suspension, *smoking cigarettes watching captain kangaroo*” Bruce Willis sings this exact phrase in pulp fiction before he hits Marcellus Wallace with the car.

[@TennSeven]

Good catch! I never realized that before this video and was hoping someone commented this.

[@Hype679]

To add to that scene in Pulp Fiction: The woman Marcellus shoots on accident is the same woman Mr. Pink carjacked in Reservoir Dogs. That's why she was walking.

[@No_Joke_Pro]

@@Hype679 🫨 I love it!!! Also, another Pulp fiction adjacent fun fact; in the movie broken arrow, John travolta says “I said goddamn” after an explosion, echoing what Uma’s character says doing blow at jack rabbit slims - the FBI agent chasing travolta in broken arrow is the very same actor who played Brett, Marcellus Wallace’s business “associate” who Vincent and Jules visit during breakfast that fateful morning 😂

[@55itsme]

The line is from a 1965 Statler Brothers country song called Flowers On the Wall

[@No_Joke_Pro]

@@55itsme 🫶🏼 good call - their second biggest hit was “I’ll go to my grave loving you” which could have easily been John and Holly’s wedding song 😂

[@andymason3555]

Jeremy Irons has played many great roles, but I will always remember him as the voice of Scar in The Lion King. 😊

[@LIGHTNING132YTG]

This one is probably my favorite of the original trilogy. It almost gives me Lethal Weapon and Speed vibes but more gritty?...maybe? Live Free or Die Hard is another great entry in this franchise. I think they released an Unrated Cut for that one. Another great film is "The Warriors" from 1979, but I would recommend only the Theatrical Cut of The Warriors if you can find that version. I hope you guys have a great Christmas, by the way! 😊

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

This one is exactly that! Non stop action and fun! Adding your suggestions to the list. Thanks for letting us know the versions as well! We hope you have an amazing Christmas holiday! ❤️

[@moviemetalhead]

The only difference between the theatrical cut and the Director's cut of The Warriors is the DC has a prologue and some transitions done in a comic panel art style. Other than that there were no changes to the story or the flow of the movie.

[@LIGHTNING132YTG]

@@moviemetalhead The art style is great, but the transitions in the DC are awful and ruins the ending as well as the tension in other scenes. It's the best example of how a Director's Cut is sometimes a bad idea.

[@BlueBookGuy]

I think I forgot just how damn good this 3rd instalment is.... The chemistry between them is electrifying !

[@LenOliver-yz6os]

Yeah its funny how they made Samuel L. Jackson play a angry bitter racist black man.🤣🤣🤣

[@chefskiss6179]

I loved the enthusiasm you had during this watch, so much glee. The director, John McTiernan, is a master of bringing multiple storylines together so seamlessly. He did Die Hard 1 & 3, Predator, Hunt for Red October... and I highly recommend his cool heist flick, 1999's Thomas Crown Affair, with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo... it's SO GOOD. I hope you continue with the next Die Hard instalment, seeing as there are none done after that ;)

[@thejamppa]

I do like John McTiernan's 1999 film: 13th Warrior with Antonio Banderas. Cinematography is amazing and it has such tense atmosphere.

So here is a fun fact. That very offensive sign was actually CGI. They didn't want to risk people actually coming over and starting a fight. But that also means some channels changed the message to be less offensive.. and more pointless. One of the reads just says "I hate everyone" which I doubt would have the same impact from people around the neighborhood.

[@joshuacampbell7493]

That Elevator scene reminds me of Captain America.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

I Gad the same thought while watching! Maybe that Captain America scene was a reference to this. Either way both of those scenes are epic!

[@nvp8191]

Spoiler alert: Four of the five die hard movies or holiday movies. The first two are Christmas movies I believe this third movie takes place around New Year's and the fourth film is a Independence Day type of film. Even if the movies do not specifically place them in these category.

27:05 Emptying the 5 gal jug into the 3 gal jug would leave TWO gals. The proper steps is as follows: 1. Fill the five-gallon jug with water. 2. Empty three gallons into the three-gallon jug, leaving two gallons in the five-gallon jug. 3. Empty the three-gallon jug completely, and then refill it with the remaining two gallons from the five-gallon jug. 4. Fill the five-gallon jug again. 5. Pour it into the three-gallon jug, filling it. 6. The five-gallon jug is left with exactly four gallons of water.

[@mattmullett9521]

The most unrealistic part are the bobcats that carry the gold. That amount of gold per bucket would weigh at least 6,000lb, more than the capacity than any skid steer loader can handle. Not to mention the trucks which usually carry only about 30,000lb. That would equate to a cube of gold only 3ft wide.

On another note, you can look this fact up, when the script was written, it was first picked up to be a Lethal Weapon movie, that’s why Zeus was created because all of the dialogue was written for Murtaugh and had to be changed once it was picked up as a Die Hard film.

the five gallon thing always confused me. i get how its done, but i always did it different where you pour 3 gallons into the five, then you refill the three and fill up the five leaving one gallon in the three. empty the five and put that one gallon from the 3 into the five, then refill the three _again_ and pour those three into the 5 gallon that has one gallon in it and you have 4 gallons. so its just done using the three gallon jug. Their way seems quicker and easier though, it just sounds more complicated than filling the 3 up 3 times. I bet that thing had so many people go home and try it to see back in the day

Fun fact: this was an original spec script by writer Jonathan Hensleigh called "Simon Says", that Fox purchased off him for an at-the-time incredibly high price, got to some basic re-writing and Bob's your uncle - Die Hard 3! Hensleigh wrote a few more scripts, but the recognition from this little piece of business is what landed him his directorial debut with the 2004 Thomas Jane version of The Punisher.

@@OfficialMediaKnights That’s subjective not factual. Ignore people who say these things make up your own mind. The next one isn’t a pile of crap…

Nah, Live Free or Die Hard is still a pretty decent watch.

Fun fact... This was originally written as a spec script that Jonathan Hensleigh tried to sell called "Simon Says." After a few studios took an interest in it, Fox bought the script and had him re-write the main character as John McClane, add in the sub plot of Simon being Hans Gruber's brother and the part about him and Holly being separated to explain her absence. In the original version of the film, the two main villain gets away and then McClane ends up tracking them down in Hungary several months later and forces him to play a game of Russian Roulette with a rocket launcher using his own riddles against him. The execs at Fox felt both that McClane was being too cruel and didn't like that the day abruptly ended and picked up almost a year later for one last scene and little action, so it was re-written and the actors came back to shoot the helicopter sequence. Jonathan Hensleigh would also later go on to co-write and direct the very underrated 2004 Punisher film.

If y'all want another Bruce/Samuel collaboration, you should check out Unbreakable.

One more... the fourth brought another dimension we might all miss if we don't watch it... the internet age. After the fourth, I'm not sure the fifth or beyond is worth your time.

RIP Anthony Peck, who plays Det. Ricky Walsh (Badge 6991) in DH3. He played an LAPD cop in DH1 too (think dabbing gauze on Al’s forehead and other scenes). He was in several John McTiernan films, including The Hunt For Red October and Last Action Hero. He died of cancer the year after this film was released. 🙏🏻

History of the script for this movie. (How this movie was almost Lethal Weapon 4) Screenwriter Jonathan Hensleigh sold a screenplay tentatively titled Simon Says to 20th Century Fox in 1992 or ‘93. The original screenplay was much like what we eventually saw in Die Hard With a Vengeance, except that Simon's motives would be exactly as they seemed, just seeking revenge (so basically the entire second half of the movie was unique to the Die Hard script). Hensleigh also included a scene specifically at a New York intersection so he could watch them film from his apartment. A few years later Warner Bros. and producer Joel Silver were looking to make a fourth Lethal Weapon movie, they contacted Fox and tried to buy the script. However, the sale never actually occurred (they didn’t end up finding a good enough script for Lethal Weapon 4 until 1998).

Simon's "Santa Claus" remark in the beginning was just him trying to be sarcastic. If you listen to him say it again and imagine him rolling his eyes, you'll hear it.

14:30 "are you aming for these people?!" "No...maybe that mime" lol

Love Bruce with all my heart..theeeeee greatest action hero of our time... ❤ No one does it better. He's literally the top rung of the bar.

11:12 "smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo" (now don't tell me I've nothin' to do.) comes from a 1965 song (Flowers on the Wall) by the Statler Brothers.

[@StephenLuke]

One of my favorite Die Hard films ever made! Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson made a very good team!

That line at 49:45 when he said, "Say hello to your brother" may be a chessy line but ngl, it was savage the way he said it. It's to let the audience know that this man literally wiped out two of his brothers....

[@WayneQuashie-j4d]

19:56- John McClane's OH SH*T moment when he heard the last name 'GRUBER'!!!!!😮

[@potterj09]

Jeremy Irons' luxurious voice is aptly-described by the Merovingian in Matrix 2: "It's like wiping your arse with silk, I love it!" haha
